As the title already said, I have some question about archer class.

At this time, I have a sniper level 70 and hunting stalatic golems. I have a good profit and experience.

 

I header that the easiest way to get level on ranger is doing the build arrow storm. But this build doesn't use agility, where I can hunt at level 70 without agility points.... and this time, what items should I invest my Money? What items are recommended to this build work?

 

I'm using Hunter bow, eden group items and acessories with kobold card.

 

Thank you.

You don't need to change anything or prepare for arrow storm in any way aside from ensuring you have enough SP for it.

Have you tried to hunt Mi Gao?

@Jaye, I'll still using my build based on agility, dextery and luck. Then when I get a high level, I'll reset my stats to arrow storm build.

 

@xLanga, Not yet. Which map do you mean?

 

@Other question, for hybrid build based on agi, dex and luck these items are good or need change them?

• +9 Evil Marching Hat
• Robo eyes
• Pencil
• Dragon Vest[1] w/ Alicel
• Dragon Manteau[1] w/ Whisper
• Variant Shoes
• 2x Bradium Brooch[1] w/ Yoyo
• +7 Hunter Bow[1] w/ SS

 

Thank you.

What is an "AS build"? What is this reset entailing? Are you planning to trade your "DEX" for "Arrow Storm DEX" or something? Because that's not a thing. You can have all of those stats (dex,luk,agi) on a Ranger and believe it or not, AS still casts just fine. And does the exact same damage.

 

The only thing to keep in mind is SP pool. Which can actually be solved entirely through equipment. Rideword Hat and Vanargand Helm solve the problem immediately. Alternatively, SP+150 enchant on the shoes, SP+250 enchants on your white wing brooch, etc., also go a long way to keeping your SP up. Also blue pots. Also Gypsy's Kiss. Also Sorcerers.

Those are almost all sub-standard gear, which has nothing to do with your build.

• you have no choice but to wear White Wing Suit, White Wing Brooch, White Wing Boots, and White Wing Manteau if you want to level with Arrow Storm. Literally half your damage comes from that gear.
• Elven Bow is superior to Hunter Bow
• Big Crossbow is even better
• You pretty much need Rideword Hat or Vanargand Helm. Unless you plan to get 90+ base INT early on.

I may be wrong, I was told that arrow storm build is vit/dex/int.

 

 

[Kadelia]

Its a popular misconception, especially among people who would rather spend money resetting their characters twice than spend money on a Vanargand Helm. Which is kinda stupid, considering the vanargand helm pays for itself in time over multiple characters, builds, etc.

Autum headband +9 is the best headgear for Arrow storm at this moment

 

Incubus egg helps with SP

 

Cheaper option for SP is pirate's folly <-really cheap compared to ridewood hat

Elven bow is better than hutner bow, but elven is lv 100, also White wing set.

big cross bow is 110, the beast weapon, but need to at least +7 with 2 AS cards to be better than Elven arrows+bow

Sound amplifier is pretty good for casting time (accesory)

 

INT/DEX/VIT for AS build is for survavility + sp pool + casting time, the problem is killing single mobs, you either cast AS on them, or spam double strafe

 

Hybrid AGI/DEX/INT/LUK is good at higher levels, you might consider focusin in either AGI for a better ASPD or INT for sp pool, LUK with decent AGI works good with Warg and LUK improves the damage of your skills because it adds ATK.

 

DEX/AGI/LUK/VIT is mostly for ASPD/Warg damage, that build still can cast AS but will run out of sp faster than the other two builds. VIT is added at least once the ranger has a good ASPD/Flee. Mostly for HP pool and Stun defense. If ASPD is 193, you can target-lock most of mobs just by attacking

Louyang Field is a good map to hunt Mi Gao. xD

Is there a good costume hat for me to wear? Recently I'm using Costume: Tarnished Lamp (+10 luk).

 

Level 95 [AGI 9x - DEX 99 - VIT 10 - LUK 10 - INT 10] without bonus. From now I'll be increasing my INT and VIT as long as I can.
