okie.. pure strenght bow.. good luck to you

as bow weapon increase in deg.. your physical damage gets suck-er.

Don't believe google look for korean sro..

click around in their webpage to get to the weapon section

look at the 9th deg bow and blade damage..

the 9th deg physical damage lost to a 9th deg blade physical damage..

(Backed up with evidence, up to you to decide and search for it)
==================================

Bottom line.. bow is a hybrid weapon

Bow hybrid will own the server after level 80...
is a late game charactor.. very late -.-

I saw a korean tornament video before a level 90 bowster won the tornament , not sure if he is strenght or hybrid... (No Evidence to produce, you can consider it bull-shit if you want)

Hybrid Bows are terrible. Many people use Anti-Devil and Berserker series as their main PvP skills. The less Str you have, the less crits will do with Anti-Devil, and Anti-Devil's main theme is.... DA DA DA!!! CRITS!!! Losing damage on one of your main PvP spells AND less hp to tank is just a lose-lose.

Very Useful Guide. This came in really handy for me! Thx! I just have 1 question? When i add a new skill, like just say the Arrow Combo the first skill. And when I add more into the Pacheon and it becomes 20 And it lets me add more into the Combo. Do I keep adding into the Combo until it becomes maxed? How many times do I have to add before it becomes maxed? If this is confusing I'll rephrase it again. Thank You if you can answer this.

I still got some questions..

I am(my alt. char) going to be a pure strenght fire bow, i am NOT going to put any points at all into grasswalk/lightning/cold/force or anything.

So i'm wondering, should I get all the bow skills i can, or should i just have the "good" ones even though im not getting any additional masteries?

1. You NEED Grasswalk. Period.

2. Never get shitty skills.

No, i dont need grasswalk, im not in a hurry

And shitty skills.. well, thats all relative.

acer, max the bow skill in general (put points in it every level, or every few if you are farming) and put points into the skills every time it gives you the options.

Nannari - its all about priorities and how many SP you have or have the patience to farm for. I would love to max a few skills but I NEED to max others and I'm not going to farm, yet.

I'd put points into skills as needed and definately look at the guide as to how many points are needed for certain skills. level 61 bow ~ 726 SP (to go from 60 to 61), not including anti devil, 4 arrow combo, fire, imbue and anything else you need. Keep that in mind.

As for useless skills, well there are a few IMO, but grasswalk is not one of them (I've stoppped at level 11 for now, but intend to increase it).

Nannari · Post by **Nannari** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 8:47 pm

still though, with the introduction of the wind/typhoon moving speed potions, you dont NEED grasswalk..

But do you reckon i'll be fine using only fire+bow skills? keeping a 2-3 gap throughout the game after farming around 10k at lvl 16?

Will be getting lvl 1 autumn wind, just to have that extra skill on for example trade runs, while going through jang.. other bow skills maxed

for fire, i plan:

Imbue, phys damage increase, mag. def. increase and passive maxed..

I'll have loads of skills to play around with, and i'll do fine, i hope..

hellsharpt · Post by **hellsharpt** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 8:53 pm

I never farmed per say. I did have gaps for a while. Level 4x is where you start to see your SP being spent REALLY fast.

You will be fine with just fire, but would do more damage if you had must peircing from the lightning too, I'm starting to see a decent benefit from it with it at only 3x. You might want basic fire protection too though, it helps. Also I'm also coming around on berserker arrow, its doing better for me (killing 2 penon warriors when zerk crit with one shot is nice). There's just so many skills I want, but don't have the patience to farm for.

Moving Speed Potions are really overpriced.

RVman · Post by **RVman** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 1:07 pm

OH YES also i bought a bow lvl 18+5, critical 8, for 1 mil. is that price good?

hellsharpt · Post by **hellsharpt** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 1:54 pm

this isn't a pricing thread, try the marketplace.

noddie · Post by **noddie** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:28 pm

Lance · Post by **Lance** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 1:31 pm

Mmm, gonna make a pure str bower for new character, but not sure what elemental skill to use, fire/cold/lightning ?

noddie · Post by **noddie** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:13 pm

lighting has low dmg

a 1st degree bow looses to 1st degree blade. Hell, they even loose to spears in physical damage. That damage aint the point, the point is loads of crits, fire and strong skills.

Force is useless unless you're planning on taking it all the way, which is a burden on your masteries and sp.

hellsharpt · Post by **hellsharpt** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 6:42 pm

I'm going to agree with shiz, I leave healing and ressing to others. Takes too many SP.

Pake1 · Post by **Pake1** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 12:07 am

I got frost nova, just worth lvling the first book at lvl1, or get book 2 also.

Harmony therapy?

Also, a no on the autumn arrow?

SuicideMan · Post by **SuicideMan** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 3:59 pm

very nice, i liked the fact u told what to max and what to skip, very useful, very nice guide. 9.9\10 (didnt say when to buy a new bow, each time u can?)

hellsharpt · Post by **hellsharpt** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 5:17 pm

pake, I deleveled all of my cold and all of my force. I want montsters to come to me, so why have the circle. I also needed the SP for 'more important' skills.

As for autumn wind I didn't like it and won't use it. you have choices for your primary attack. Strong, antidevil, berserk, or autumn. Strong hits the hardest, but anti devil has a better chance of critical. Autumn and berserk are multi target skills, sutumn is probabaly the weakest. I chose anti devil, strong and some in berserk. Try the skills yourself, if you don't like them delevel them.

Suicide, get a new bow anytime that you feel the extra damage is worth the expense. I got a new one every time I could (I didn't use SOS). Bows are expensive, and I still have my 48+3, 52+3, 56+3, and 60+3, not really sure why.

senapanaga · Post by **senapanaga** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 4:35 pm

but isnt harmony circle good for thieving? I will leave this up to you, because you're far more experienced using a bow, and thieving. But i've noticed that it is very hard to thief without harmony. ofc I've never gotten a char past lvl 32 soo....yeeeaaaaahh..... :oops:

....Delevel my force mastery???????????
(I'll take that as a yes, and will start curst heart quest....now.)

........And im still confused about ice. get it or no? ANd should I just keep my light imbue at the first book?!?!?! im gonna re-re-re-read this thing again....

...I've figured that strong bow is better for pve (dont ask how seeing as my archer is lvl 21) unless used properly in pvp. hehehe. as in you sit there with the big yellow vortex for however long and pray the don't notice the archer with the big yellow vortex behind them. hehehe. :twisted:

...Anyway. So berserker is better for pvp probably then right? Cuz of the casting time. imo. HMMMM......I wear garms so should i keep lvling ice anyway for that buff??? (my ice mastery is at lvl 5 hahahaha)

ANYWHO. SO, is it a good idea to farm like 10k or more sp in your 3x lvl's? Because you said you start hurting for sp in the 4x's.... :?:

so at lvl 20 now, i could work a 9 lvl gap in and start farming at lvl 30, is that a good idea?!?!?!
