Hello! I have been playing Ragnarok for a good week as archer (well, not only archer, but everything connected to it). It's very awesome class, the range gives a lot opportunities to kill mobs from further away and do not lose HP, but my problem is that since I became archer until now when I am sniper 72/32 level my Damage didn't increase! I am hitting mobs with something like 200-300 dmg per arrow and it takes me 20 arrows to kill Ground Petites or other mobs that I use to kill for XP, it's very pricely for me as even carrots take away thousands of Zeny to buy + I can't carry infinite amount of them and so I get to waste my time with walking from Prontrera, using teleport (drains a lot of Zeny as well) to Geffen, to the Ground Petites' map. It takes me 10 minutes to load carrots and go back to that map... And after I go there I can survive 10-20 minutes, maybe 30 if I am going 1 square by 1 square and try to hit every mob from distance (it's hard as they all are agressive). So the problem is why my damage is still so low?
I think it could be because I didn't really buy/obtain any new weapon nor armor since evolving to archer (I am sniper right now). What weapon would you suggest to buy? I heard that Eden quests are good enough for weapons, but every quest that I take my time to accept takes me a while to complete and I think I would be better of with 10 minutes walks than with 3 hours trying to complete random quest for "Who Knows If It's Good" weapon... I am not sure how hard are Eden group quests as I never really tried them, but to complete Bounty quests (everyone recommends them) it takes me like 2 hours for each 150 of monsters that are "For My Level". It's way too much for bonus XP... (Last quest that I tried was Geffen Bounty for Ghouls, Jack O'Laterns and Nightmares, everything went good until I met Nightmare... I do only 50 damage per arrow that should hit 100% to it!)
P.S. I have a White Wings set for level 100 ranger, so I need opinion on what I should buy for sniper and ranger until level 100.
It could be because I planned my stat points wrong as well. Since I strated RO I have read a bunch of guides about various builds and totally confused myself as each of them were saying something different... Right now my build is:
Str: 1 + 2
Agi: 73 + 7
Vit: 1 + 2
Int: 1 + 2
Dex: 77 + 18
Luk: 1 + 3
(HP: 3485, SP: 393)
It definitely has some mistakes as I have no SP nor HP and I hit somehow really low... Maybe anyone could recommend anything for me?
Another problem is with Sniper Skill build. Right now I am using only Archer skills and so far didn't place even one point on any Sniper skills. Maybe anyone could recommend me what to do with skill points? There are skills only for traps and honestly I am not too confident about spending ton of money to buy traps... Thought maybe it would be useful at the end game? Tell me your opinion about that as well, please.
Sorry for this wall of text, but I really need some advice as my progress in game is really slow and a little... boring? I lose more Zeny than I obtain as well as HP items (using carrots) take all my money right now...
