Why does my anti keep glitching? Sometimes when i try to use it the arrow doesnt shoot out but it still uses my mp and its starting to piss me off cause it agrros the monster but doesnt damage it.

Is it worth it to buy and maintain a wolf?

If you constantly sell wind 2s will the demand for them lower and in turn cause their price to drop?


Why are there so many knaivers? Where are all the bows?

What are nukers?

Why should Bows wear garments instead of armor or protectors?

thx for reading guys

Sorry cant help you on this one :/

Is it worth it to buy and maintain a wolf?
I usually get mine at lvl 3x~4x, when my gold is stable. It costs alot to maintain, but depending on your char build, sometimes it can be useful to have one.

If you constantly sell wind 2s will the demand for them lower and in turn cause their price to drop?
The short answer is yes. A more detailed answer would depend on how much competition there is in the element market. If alot of players are selling wind 2 then naturally the price will fall. Players will put lower prices to get quicker sales. If there is an understanding on the server, that wind 2 prices should be sold at 2k minimum, then the prices wont fall even if the market is flooded.

Ah, if you are pure str bow, you wont really find that it will be useful. Usually chars that will benefit are those that couldnt tank effectively like int chars, slow chars that wear armor (so they can use the wolf as a tracer when jobbing), or players who like to keep pets just for kicks :).

Edit: new questions


Why are there so many knaivers? Where are all the bows?
Player preference. It is arbitrary, what you gain from range you loose from raw power. It is just a personal preference. More players prefer raw power over range. Each has their pros and cons.

What are nukers?
Nukers are int based chars that utilize magic attacks as their main form of damage.

Why should Bows wear garments instead of armor or protectors?
Garments are ideal to help lower mp usage, and help your char to move faster. As archers rarely get hit, garments are usually the way to go. Bear in mind that it matters less at your level, but the higher lvl you go, the more you should consider switching to garms if you are not wearing them already. This applies to pure str archers.

You could wear armor or prot, but that depends on what you are trying to do. Your massive hp just from being pure str is usually more than enough to tank while training, or in pvps where you are fighting a player of similar level.

Hmmm...
Back in the day! When I was bow... :roll:
I would use a move and do the same. Its usually that you dont have enough mana! So once you imbue (using a bit of mana) when you have low mana and then the Anti (using more mana) your out of mana!
Its just the way it is! The monster.. In a way if AWARE your attacking it to it attacks you! :shock:
This is a major problem with low level Str types. Im saying put your MP pots higher and Maybe get some incs.

I agree with Sylhana, Unless your 3X or 4X its not REALLY worth it...
It helps with int alot, but not as much as its rumoured :wink:

I dont do elements sorry!

O i have another question
should i get a SoS bow at 24 or 32?
so basically horseman bow or occult bow soses.

should i consider keeping my old lvl 20 garment set if it gives me an additional 6 str?

Dont keep the old set, the stats re too different.
Get an SOS Occult bow. Theres so many around so they're dirt cheap...
Plus 3 it so its pretty ad then you'll havea rad char :D
SOS 32 Bow should be... 7 - 9 mill I rekcon

Sos 32 is only around 3-4 mil on Hercules. And to your first question, you could be using too much MP when you try anti+imbue and that would cause anti to cancel.

wolves are fun to have

wind 2s will probably go down in price soon enough, but you should take the opportunity to make them and sell them right now

good money

^^
