Nuker levels the fastest is a fact that everybody knows about. But i want to make a Str character. Therefore, i want to choose the faster leveling build. Which one do you think levels faster? :?

STR FIRE BOW!

IMO

Because you deal good dmg from far range before they even get to hit you.

STR Fire bow.

Thats my personal opinion.
I just like the play-style, im grinding chakjiworkers at lvl 23, it gives good SP and i didnt use my hp pots for ages lol.

Arrows take sh!tload of space in your inv and glavie does more dmg.
So i'd say glavie ftw :O

I tested both! Result is that I love my bow. Glaive is getting delete button.

But not fun hunting thieves :( .

str builds are all about full blasts of power...the bow wont provide u with that... it just has good range but the arrows are a waste of space rly...
besides, glavie is more focused on its str stats rather than int stats

Lucky tablets DON'T exist. Only stones do.

I may be wrong on this... But i thought Lucky stones/tablets increase the chance of a succesful alchemy? So.. what does that have to do with the amount of arrows in and inventory?

In my opinion, I would go str / fire archer because they do a lot of damage before the mob gets to them. Too bad the arrows take up half of your inventory. :\ (Unless you buy the 10k quiver ;o).

glavie is way better for mobbing and when you get to cave glavie owns all exept maybe for ints

400 large hp pot ( because the mob dont hit you just sometimes )
600-650 large mp pot is enough the archer really dont need a lot of mp
all slot of your "EXPAND inv" arrows
and 200unpill
+monkey

But the time spent running to the next mob, bowers have killed 4 more mobs (overexageration, I know).

you did know that the word glaive is misspelled in SRO right? :roll: other then, if you want to levelup fast then go BOW (grinds much faster then glaive), you could say it's more pvm based rather then pvp where the glaive does a better job.

no need to ghost walk dozens of times to fasten grind time and shorten distances between mobs as a bow user, glaivers have a harder time getting their mobcount.

whatever makes your boat float, item mall ftw if you want to reset bow to glaive
