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...

The right equips make a huge difference on your damage and ability to survive, so go do the Eden Group Equipments Quests! The quests are fairly easy and will cost you almost nothing. :) I personally used Eden equips from 1-99, before and after rebirth.

 

Unless you're wearing Rudolf, carrots probably heal you for too little by now. Maybe someone has better ideas, but I would suggest using Aloe Leaflets instead, as they heal for so much more, weigh so little and are super easy to farm from Groves (if you don't have zeny to buy them from other players).

 

One thing makes me curious, though. If you're still relying on carrots and having trouble killing Petites right now, I can't imagine how you managed to get to 99 on Hunter. D: Maybe you mistook being a Sniper for being a Hunter?

I did Jeneway quests to get huter to 99 and had Archibishop to help me a little with buffs back then, but it's time to get serious as I have no Archibishops near me anymore! :D Well, if you say that Eden quests does give good items, then I will do it... Thank you for reply!

Maybe anyone can say anything about my stats and what skills I should choose? I am planning to get as much as I can Dex and Agi right now.

EDIT
Well, Eden Quest for level 70 is quite a hard one... Need to pass a lot petites and they take a long long time...

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...

 

-Make a merchant with Level 10 Discount and buy yourself supplies such as Awakening Potions(+20%? Attack Speed), Fly Wings (For emergencies & Faster leveling), and potions (I used white potions until I could afford more expensive/lighter options - though farming healing supplies as suggested by momolyn is also viable)

 

-Get the Arrow Crafting skill and craft elemental arrows that are most effective against your enemies to greatly increase damage (25-100% damage increase) 

 

-Turning your loose arrows into quivers will allow you to carry many more than usual

 

-Eden gear is free and will be essential for surviving at this point and beyond, until you can get better gear. Though if you got a Hunter Bow from your job change quest you can deal some really good damage when paired with Hunting Arrows (+50% damage increase). The quests are time consuming but doing more damage = faster leveling = time saved. Plus the other gears will help you survive longer and allow you to spend more time hunting rather than restocking

 

-Leveling from 1-99 I used a very similar build, though I like to keep Dex slightly higher than Agi for more damage, but the Agi is really nice to help with flee

 

-You NEED to get Wind Walker and Falcon Eyes as a sniper. Wind Walker will let you travel faster and increase your flee (More survivability!), Falcon Eyes gives +5 to all stats and +20% damage! Don't forget to keep Improve Concentration on also, the bonus Dex and Agi are MASSIVE

 

-At 70+ you can do the "Gramps" turn-in quests once per day for free, which give huge amounts of XP. The board quests give a nice chunk of xp but can be really boring or difficult if you choose the wrong monsters

 

 

 

** If you do everything suggested, assuming you aren't already, you can easily double or triple your damage output and survivability. Ragnarok can be unforgiving at times, so it's important to do whatever you can to get ahead. Every bit really does make a difference **

This is the best advice I could ever get! Thank you, man! I am always bringing concentration and awakening potions as I can't play without them... Planning to stay with carrots until at least ranger or maybe even after that, I have Rudolph Hat that really does save my Zeny and HP! :D I got wind walker already, not sure if it really makes that much difference, but I like to have icons of buffs on my right side of screen so it might be helping. :) I will increase Dex now as nearly every hit misses and I practically do not need to use any HP items anymore already, invested a few points to SP as well. I got that arrow making skill a long time ago, but not sure if it's really that good as getting every element arrow materials, except for holy is pretty hard, will just use hunter bow with hunter arrows (thank you, momolyn for that tip earlier in game!). I am 79/39 right now and so far I can say that all these tips helped me A LOT, so thank you, people! :)
Maybe anyone could write something about Ranger builds? Or maybe send me a few links about them as I am planning to hit Ranger change until the weekend.

Rudolph with Carrots is great, that's what I use even now /no1

 

As a Ranger I pumped dex to 120 and rushed Arrow Storm 10 for my skills. Arrow Storm is your primary AoE / Big damage skill so getting AS to level 10 will be all you really need. Beyond that I got Warg Ride for the free mount, No Limits to increase ranged damage for a brief while, and Camouflage for a stealth / Damage boost. This is all I have so far, but next on my list is some warg skills. (I'm not much of a trapper XD)
