Marsheh's Guide for Bowmen levels 1-30.
By: Marsheh, and her bowman Dexmirst currently level 30 (windia).
=====================================================
Hola! I'm Marsheh, just an average MapleStory player who plays in Windia. I'm also a fan of one of the more uncommon jobs in the game: the Archer. =D I currently have a level 30 Hunter in Windia named Dexmirst. I also have 250,000+ mesos (random info xD). You can usually find me on Channels 1, or 6-8, in Kerning City or Henesys.
Contacting me: In MapleGlobal, under the name "Dexmirst" in Windia By E-mail, at [email protected] (I perfer you meeting me in Maplestory)
=====================================================
Contents:
a. Why be a Bowman? b. The Dice Roll c. Skills d. Skill Applying e. Becoming a Bowman f. Skills g. Skill Applying h. Armor & Weapons
=====================================================
1. Getting Started (levels 1-10)
a. Why be a Bowman?? =======
The pros: There aren't alot of people in the Bowman world. Bowman are super cheap at levels 1-15. They get a super far range! O_O Who else gets to summon a Silver Hawk on their 3rd job advancment? They can MAKE money from level 10! Seriously! Their armor is nice lookin'. +_+ They train pretty quickly thoughout the entire game. You can KS well. B)
The cons: Armor is quite expensive at levels 30+. Have to buy/make arrows constantly/ Uses lots of potions throughout levels 1-18. Second weakest class as a Beginner (assuming you're preparing for the upgrade to the Bowman class during this period). After you become an archer, the strongest class, though.
Still want to be a Bowman? Great! =D
b. The Dice Roll ========
|
NOTE: This guide contains a dice roll section for AP points. We would like to inform you that dice roll function is not used anymore in GMS and MapleSEA. If you are a beginner, there is no need as all points are assigned to STR. When you get your job advancement, click A and then click on auto-assign points. Please avoid that section and everytime you level up, press 'a' and press auto-assign. You may continue that system or if you are looking to use a special point build eg. dexless assassin, then you may do so.
|
Now that you've chosen a name for your Bowman and gotten him/her outfitted, it's time for the dice roll! =D
Roll these stats: Str. X Dex. X Int. 4/5 Luk. 4/5
Make sure you have thse stats, don't ask questions. if you even have a 6 in Int or Luk, it'll mess up the insanely high damage you would have done at level 30+. This is because you have only 30 stat points to spread around. Making sure Int or Luk is low is making sure your Str and Dex is high. 4 and 5 are the lowest rolls you can get.
c. Abilty Points ========
Follow this pattern of spreading the ability points you gain during level up for the rest of your Mapling life. 1 Str, 4 Dex. 1 Str. 4 Dex. Hunter or Crossbowman, doesn't matter.
That was short :*
d. At Maple Island ========
Your adventure starts at Maple Island. Do all the quests along the way, and click Roger in the second map to get 3 free red pots (potions). NEVER BUY POTS AT LEVELS 1-15!!!! You'll live FINE. MY Archer survived from levels 1-16 without buying pots, and finding pots. She had 90 red pots, from fighting, not buying.
Levels 1-4: Train at Green Snails from level 1-4. Levels 5-8: Train at Blue Snails if you can kill them in 1-3 hits. Anything more is too time consuming. Levels 8-10: Do Mai's last quest. Do not activate Bigg's quest, it'll be harder to get Orange Mushroom Caps when you're on the quest if you do. Sell any shells except for 30 Blue Snail Shells.
e. Becoming a Bowman =========
I hope you have 25 dex now, cause' you're becoming a BOWMAN! =D Pay 150 mesos to Shanks of Southperry. He will take you to Victoria Island. Nice name, eh?
================================
READ! IMPORTANT!
After you go to Victoria, go
to Olaf of Lith Harbor. Do his
quiz, and after that, do his second quest, and choose the path of a BOWMAN (duh!) Then, so west
to the ticket booth and go to Henesys. Go right, and enter Mushroom Park. Press up at the statue. Climb down, and enter the tree house. Complete the quest, and become a Bowman! =D

i. Where to train =======

Levels 15-20: Slimes, and stock on arrows and get a Composite Bow. Don't use Arrow Blow! -_- Just mash your attack buttton. Kill Slimes. Get exp. You know the deal. Fight Stumps until you have 50 Tree Branches, too. Again, the Henesys Hunting Grounds are a good place to train.

Levels 25-30: Fight Green and/or Horny Mushrooms around Ellinia. Fight Pigs, or Octopi at Kerning City Construction Site. Do some PQs now. In fact, you can PQ until level 30.
j. How to make money
Arrows. Perfect. Ask non-archers for arrows if you run out, nicly. If you kill a Slime in 1 hit, that's only 1 Arrow right? 1 Arrow is 1 meso. 1 Squishy Liquid is 4 meso. Archers make money all the time! =D Sell your useless ETC. items.
k. Credits
