The Bowman Guide

Why be a Bowman?
Bowmen have infinite DEX and are the best job in MapleStory. They look not only cool but also can do very high damage. Also, we can hunt bosses earlier the other class!
The Dice Roll
The Dice Roll, one of the worst things in MapleStory. All you need is STR and DEX to become a bowman. So LUK and INT should be 4 or 5.
STR: High as possible
DEX: High as possible
INT: 4 or 5
LUK: 4 or 5
In Maple Island
Great, youre inching closer to become bowmen. Just keep slashing snails until LV 9 and 75%. Don’t bother to talk to anyone, just keep killing snails. Also try doing every quest available. THEY ARE EASY EXP POINTS!
Stats Distrubution/Skill Distrubution(Beginners)=
It’s actually very simple. Every level you’ll gain 5 points. Press S to see it. For hunters you want your STR to be 5 points higher than the level. For Crossbowman, you want to keep you STR and your level even. If you are LV 10 your STR must be 15 for those how are going to be hunter. If you are LV 10 your STR must be 10 for those who are going to be Crossbow man. The remaining points go into DEX.
Every level you get 1 skill point until level 8(For beginners), these can be used on Three Snails, Recovery, and Nimble Feet. You should max Three Snails and Recovery. Nimble Feet is not a good skill.
Going to Victoria Island
Once you are LV 9 and 70% to 75% go to South Perry and talk to Shanks. He will teleport you to Victoria Island for 150 mesos. (It’s not very much)
At Lith Harbour
All right, you are now in Victoria Island! Now locate Olaf and talk to him. He will give you a quest: A lesson on job advancement. First you have to answer some VERY easy questions. Then talk to him again, and he’ll tell you to visit Athena Pierce.Then talk to Phil and he will teleport you to Henesys for 80 mesos I believe.
Henesys
Now that you’re in Henesys go to Mushroom Park and keep walking right until you see a tall tree. And enter it.
1st Job Advancement
Go inside that and you’ll see Athena Pierce. Talk to her and click on Quest in progress: A lesson on job advancement. You should be LV 10 now. Talk to her again and she will instruct you to be a Bowman.
A Bowman now!
Congratulations you’re now a bowman!
