What to and what not to scroll
========================
Starting off
========================
First roll your stats. for a perfect or near perfect bowman/xbowman u need to roll:
str:**
dex:**
int:4/5
luk:4/5
**= anything
ok so you start off in maple island what to do next? lvl up to 10 by training at maple island.
i wud advise that u pump ur str to 25 asap (as soon as possible) as str increase ur damage a lot at ur kinda lvl.
lvl 1-5... green snails mainly
lvl 6-10...try out some more blue snails. try and avoid red snails as they take for ever to kill at ur lvl.
HINT!! if you run low on hp find a little platform and rest. dont waste red pots, save them up if its ur first chraacter.
=========================
Victoria island
=========================
ok some u've reached lvl 10 (clap clap) now head to henesys and become a bowman. dont get too excited about being a bowman. u will be using ur sword/axe/club until around lvl 15 as ur bow attack is very weak.
=========================
Raising ur stats (only crossbowman)
=========================
lvl 10 : 25 str 40 dex (presuming u start with 5 luk and 5 int)
lvl 15 : 25 str 65 dex
lvl 20 : 25 str 90 dex
lvl 25 : 25 str 115 dex
lvl 30 : 30 str 140 dex
etc... forever =)
as you can see, being a crossbowman, u only need str equal to ur lvl which gives us an extra 5dex boost on hunter =)
=========================
1st job skill build
=========================
lvl 10 1sp The blessing of the amazon
lvl 11 2sp the blessing of the amazon, 1sp the eye of amazon
lvl 12 3sp the eye of amazon
lvl 13 3sp the eye of amazon
lvl 14 1sp the eye of amazon (maxed) 1sp critical shot
lvl 15 3sp critical shot
lvl 16 3sp critical shot
lvl 17 3sp critical shot
lvl 18 3sp critical shot
lvl 19 3sp critical shot
lvl 20 3sp critical shot
lvl 21 1sp critical shot (maxed) 1sp arrow blow (to unlock double shot)*
lvl 22 3sp double shot
lvl 23 3sp double shot
lvl 24 3sp double shot
lvl 25 save 3 sp
lvl 26 save 3 sp
lvl 27 use 6 saved sp + 3 sp from lvl up on double shot
lvl 28 1sp double shot (maxed) 2sp **the blessing of the amazon or focuz
lvl 29 3sp the blessing of the amazon or focus
lvl 30 3sp the blessing of the amazon or focus
end result :
The blessing of the amazon: 3 OR 11
The eye of amazon: 8 MAXED
Critical shot: 20 MAXED
Arrow blow: 1
Double shot: 20 MAXED
Focus: 0 or 8
* you can choose to pick double shot or arrow blow. i wud choose double shot because it gives a higher sucess rate on critical shot which is vital. people sometimes choose arrow blow because they like knockback which seems nice when fiting stone golems but knockback is useless wen you to a certain point that you can 2 hit kill enimies such as stone golems.
** doesnt matter which u choose. the blessing of the amazon gives +1 accuracy per lvl and is passive but focus gives +1 accuracy AND +1 avoidability but requires mana to cast and lasts for about 1min sou have to keep recasting. you choose =)
===========================
Training in 1st job
===========================
lvl 10-15 slimes, snails anything that doesnt require too much time killing
lvl 15-20 snipe from the hay in henesys hunting ground 1/2/3 with ur bow and kill those orange mush or if u prefer 1-2hit slimes.
lvl 20-25 no not time for pq. go to pig beach but u will need to bring lots of hp pots cuz swarm at u like hell =O or u can continue with orange mushs
lvl 25-30 ok nows it pq time. try and get urself into a nice party. (yourself, 2 mages and a sin) if u dont like the w8 then go to horny mush or green mush.
==========================
2nd job
==========================
So you've chosen a path of raw power. gd choice =)
once you reach lvl 30 head back to henesy and go to Helena and she'll ask to you take the letter to Job instructor who is located in.....somewhere. =S just follow my directions =) in henesys, go top righthand portal and go onto next map, from there head right until u meet another portal, enter it. then head top RIGHT and on ur map u shud see a green splodge talk to her and enter. make sure u bring lots of pots.
once ur instead u have to collect 30 black marbles. just kill the monsters on each platform and if they get too crowded just channel and kill them until u get 30 marbles. once u have collected them talk to the job instructor and she'll give u a nice shiny medal =) now go back to Helena and she'll premote you to a real crossbowman =)
you'll get more hp, more mp and 1 extra sp and u'll get more etc slots and more item slots. =)
============================
Pros and Cons of Crossbowman
============================
Pros:
uncommon class to be
powerful (at lvl 38 i was able to outdamage any class my lvl and about 5 lvls higher than me)
cheap equips, scrolls, armour, weapons
pwns in 3rd job.
lots of ppl will go "wow nice damage and ur only lvl 38" or some ppl will give u free fame cuz ur special XD
Cons:
not very strong during 1st job and only gets gd once "max" mastery
take a lot of time to lvl from lvl 10-38
dont expect to gain a lot of money if ur unfunded. u'll start to get a lot of money from lvl 50 onwards
============================

============================
lvl 30 1sp iron arrow (your first ground control skill)
lvl 31 3sp mastery
lvl 32 3sp mastery
lvl 33 3sp mastery
lvl 34 3sp mastery

after final attack is maxed you can start chosing wot skills you would like.
*from here, u can go 14 iron arrow and then 10/20 power knockback if u prefer iron arrow to power knockback. but at the end, u shud have 30 iron, and 20 power knockback. they are essiential.
if u want to go for the FA-less build then u all u have to do is replace FA with iron arrow in the build above and follow on from there until u come to powerknock back maxed. thats wen ppl choose to max focus.
===========================
Final Attack, pros and cons
===========================
Pros:
gives extra damage for free icon_biggrin.gif
helps train faster. A LOT
gives knockback (basically arrow blow but manaless)
can kill a monster behind another monster
Cons:
at low lvls it can be annoying as it's % of activation is low
can be activated wen theres no monster to kill or hurt
against balrog, FA can activate and then balrog can claw ur *** (thats y u learn jump attack)
OWN OPINION: well i find that FA helps me train a lot faster and it saves me a lot of pot money. for example, wot needed 2 double shots (32mp) becomes 1 double shot (16mp) + FA. and with FA's 60% chance of activation u cud say u almost kno wen its gonna fire out. i may admit that FA cud get u hurt sometimes but i'd rather get hurt than waste pots like a Fa-less person. ppl say that FA doesnt work with strafe, ur still gonna be using double shot till lvl 70. so from lvl 49-70 FA will help u soooo much its unbeliveable. but hey, its ur character, do wot u want, as long as ur an crossbowman, im happy icon_biggrin.gif
===========================
Training in 2nd job
===========================
lvl 30-35 do ur last pqs until u reach lvl 31 from there u can train on zombie mush, horny mush or wild boar
lvl 35-38 wild boar all the way
lvl 38-42 fire boars shud be a sure 1hit ko 80% of the time*
lvl 42-50 stone golems, lunar pixes or star pixes. they're all gd**
lvl 50-55 stone golems, jr. yetis, drakes, hectors, luster pixes***
lvl 55-60 dark stone golems, cargos, luster pixes, white pang, hectors
lvl 60-65 zombies, cargos, dark stone golem
lvl 65-70 tauros, cargos or more zombies, yetis
*buy a heckler and scroll it with 60% or 100% its up to you.
** for more power, scroll a silver crow with 60% or 100%
***weaker than stone golem and u can sell the pixes suns on sw.net and get a lot of cash cuz mages like to buy and hope they exchange for a 60% cape int scroll. but luster pixes are annoying cuz A) their magic hurts like hell B) they swarm at ur ***!!
=========================
What to and what not to scroll
=========================
WEAPONS
IF, and only if ur r rich, scroll ur mountenous crossbow or eagle crow with 7 100% scrolls. i wud buy a almost perfect heckler and scroll it with 60%. if only 0-3 work, unlucky (on my heckler i only got 2 to work icon_sad.gif ) if that happens w8 till lvl 42 and scroll ur silver crow and hope u get better results. but if the outcome of the heckler is gd like 4-7 scrolls skip the silver crow as it is a waste of money. my friend used red viper +7100% till lvl 60 until he got his asianic bow. from heckler onwards u shud always scroll with 60% not 100%. if u feel lucky, try and use a 10%.
ARMOUR
i wud only start scrolling armor wen ur lvl 30 and that is, scrolling ur sauna robe. i seriously consider u to buy or do the jack/sauna quest. sauna robes cost about 80-100k in bera. i wud buy 10 10% dex overal scrolls and use them and hope that 2 or more work. this is a little thing u can do. if ur first scroll works on the first slot u can sell it for 1.5mill to 2mill. profit?? i think so icon_biggrin.gif If that happens get another sauna robe and scroll it with the 10%s u bought. once ur satisfied with a 10+ dex robe use it until lvl 50 if ur willing to look at the some clothing for 20 lvls. believe me tho, the extra damage comes in handy. if u got money to blow scroll ur other equips as u progress on. at lvl 50, 60 and so on scroll the robes with 10%s unless u got lucky and scrolled a beast sauna robe. (im talking like 25dex O_O)
some ppl like to scroll there snow shoes (cuz they allow 7 slots and not the normal 5 slots) with 10% jump scrolls. the reason y ppl do this is becuz it adds 3 dex. but i must warn u that even 10% jump scrolls cost a gd 400-500k in bera and i wud only consider this if ur uber rich.
u shud scroll ur cape/s with 100% dex scrolls. very cheap scrolls 50k a
piece. its a nice cheap affordable way to boost ur damage a lvl icon_biggrin.gif
glove scrolling.....if ur rich dont bother with dex glove scrolls, get attack work gloves. for some ppl that dont kno, every 1attack is the same as 3 dex. so even if u get a +12dex work glove, its still the same as a 4 attack work glove which is a lot easier to buy/find/scroll.
============================
3rd job *duh duh duh*
============================
congratz you've passed the gruelling hell of lvl 30-70 bowman training but guess wot heres wen bowman really get to shine. forget training and focus on ur new and improved STRAFE ^_^ demonstrated by Zadam, xbowman are the strongest class but closely folowed by crusader.
ok so ur lvl 70 *thumbs up* use the following steps to adv to the 3rd job ^^
1.head to Rene in El nath. (s/he is in the building at the top right of el nath)
2.after talking to rene head to orbis and get the ride to victoria island.
3.once u arrive, get ur *** to Athena Pierce and she'll tell u to go to the other dimension.
4.after talking to her, go to Sleepywood and go down to the last dark stone golem map and there u shall find the other dimenion portal.
5.move urself along the long room and jump down to fite ur boss. (the boss does about 600 bump damage and 1k with the arrow. dont worry the fite is easy. u shud be strong enough to knock her back. only 1.5k i think to knock back. IF she someones tauromacis dont cry. take the tauromacis down before continuing the fite with the boss otherwise u'll find urself in a pickle with 2-4 tauromacis to kill aswell as the boss.)
6.rite, so u've killed the boss and picked up the charm. go to the top rite npc and the rock will take u back to henesys. talk to Athena Pierce again and she'll tell u to go back to the job instructor, Rene, in nath.
7.so move ur legs and get to nath.
8.talk to Rene and she'll tell u to prove urself once more. NB: u need refined DARK crystal (not black crystal)
9.after talking to Rene, head to Sharp CLiff 2. wen ur on that map. go top rite and u'll find a wooden door. go in.
10.at the bottom u will find a big stone npc. talk to it. it will tell u to answer 5 questions. if u get one wrong u must start again which results in a loss of a dark crystal. OUCH. some questions r very easy but some are fking hard. if u struggle and you do not wish to waste a dark crystal search the web for some infomation or better yet the actual answers =)
11.after answering the questions use a town return scroll and talk to Rene once again.

=====================
Training in 3rd job
=====================
lvl 70-71 clangs and umtis. easy 1hit ko's and some avg drops
lvl 72-73 luster pixies. u will be able to 1hit ko pretty easily and will provide gd exp
lvl 74-80 back to ur favourites, zombies. if u dont like zombies either stay at lusters or try out hectors for 1hit ko
lvl 80-89 explore ludi death teddies, bains, master death teddies, pirates vikings or u think they r still too hard then stay at zombies until u r capable or confident enough to fite them.
lvl 90+ bains, vikings, death teddies etc. they shall provide easy kills and uber gd exp since u have puppet and blizzard and a decent lvl.
FYI becuz i am not above lvl 75 yet a lot of this is preference and mite change. but from everything i've read, heard and seen that the things ive mentioned are pretty gd. ^^

lvl 65-70 tauros, cargos or more zombies, yetis
*buy a heckler and scroll it with 60% or 100% its up to you.
** for more power, scroll a silver crow with 60% or 100%
***weaker than stone golem and u can sell the pixes suns on sw.net and get a lot of cash cuz mages like to buy and hope they exchange for a 60% cape int scroll. but luster pixes are annoying cuz A) their magic hurts like hell B) they swarm at ur ***!!
=========================
What to and what not to scroll
=========================
WEAPONS
IF, and only if ur r rich, scroll ur mountenous crossbow or eagle crow with 7 100% scrolls. i wud buy a almost perfect heckler and scroll it with 60%. if only 0-3 work, unlucky (on my heckler i only got 2 to work icon_sad.gif ) if that happens w8 till lvl 42 and scroll ur silver crow and hope u get better results. but if the outcome of the heckler is gd like 4-7 scrolls skip the silver crow as it is a waste of money. my friend used red viper +7100% till lvl 60 until he got his asianic bow. from heckler onwards u shud always scroll with 60% not 100%. if u feel lucky, try and use a 10%.
ARMOUR
i wud only start scrolling armor wen ur lvl 30 and that is, scrolling ur sauna robe. i seriously consider u to buy or do the jack/sauna quest. sauna robes cost about 80-100k in bera. i wud buy 10 10% dex overal scrolls and use them and hope that 2 or more work. this is a little thing u can do. if ur first scroll works on the first slot u can sell it for 1.5mill to 2mill. profit?? i think so icon_biggrin.gif If that happens get another sauna robe and scroll it with the 10%s u bought. once ur satisfied with a 10+ dex robe use it until lvl 50 if ur willing to look at the some clothing for 20 lvls. believe me tho, the extra damage comes in handy. if u got money to blow scroll ur other equips as u progress on. at lvl 50, 60 and so on scroll the robes with 10%s unless u got lucky and scrolled a beast sauna robe. (im talking like 25dex O_O)
some ppl like to scroll there snow shoes (cuz they allow 7 slots and not the normal 5 slots) with 10% jump scrolls. the reason y ppl do this is becuz it adds 3 dex. but i must warn u that even 10% jump scrolls cost a gd 400-500k in bera and i wud only consider this if ur uber rich.
u shud scroll ur cape/s with 100% dex scrolls. very cheap scrolls 50k a
piece. its a nice cheap affordable way to boost ur damage a lvl icon_biggrin.gif
glove scrolling.....if ur rich dont bother with dex glove scrolls, get attack work gloves. for some ppl that dont kno, every 1attack is the same as 3 dex. so even if u get a +12dex work glove, its still the same as a 4 attack work glove which is a lot easier to buy/find/scroll.
============================
3rd job *duh duh duh*
============================
congratz you've passed the gruelling hell of lvl 30-70 bowman training but guess wot heres wen bowman really get to shine. forget training and focus on ur new and improved STRAFE ^_^ demonstrated by Zadam, xbowman are the strongest class but closely folowed by crusader.
ok so ur lvl 70 *thumbs up* use the following steps to adv to the 3rd job ^^
1.head to Rene in El nath. (s/he is in the building at the top right of el nath)
2.after talking to rene head to orbis and get the ride to victoria island.
3.once u arrive, get ur *** to Athena Pierce and she'll tell u to go to the other dimension.
4.after talking to her, go to Sleepywood and go down to the last dark stone golem map and there u shall find the other dimenion portal.
5.move urself along the long room and jump down to fite ur boss. (the boss does about 600 bump damage and 1k with the arrow. dont worry the fite is easy. u shud be strong enough to knock her back. only 1.5k i think to knock back. IF she someones tauromacis dont cry. take the tauromacis down before continuing the fite with the boss otherwise u'll find urself in a pickle with 2-4 tauromacis to kill aswell as the boss.)
6.rite, so u've killed the boss and picked up the charm. go to the top rite npc and the rock will take u back to henesys. talk to Athena Pierce again and she'll tell u to go back to the job instructor, Rene, in nath.
7.so move ur legs and get to nath.
8.talk to Rene and she'll tell u to prove urself once more. NB: u need refined DARK crystal (not black crystal)
9.after talking to Rene, head to Sharp CLiff 2. wen ur on that map. go top rite and u'll find a wooden door. go in.
10.at the bottom u will find a big stone npc. talk to it. it will tell u to answer 5 questions. if u get one wrong u must start again which results in a loss of a dark crystal. OUCH. some questions r very easy but some are fking hard. if u struggle and you do not wish to waste a dark crystal search the web for some infomation or better yet the actual answers =)
11.after answering the questions use a town return scroll and talk to Rene once again.
