Archer Class Guide

  Archer Class


Archers are skilled with the bow and can accurately hit their targets from long distances. They also can freely switch elements depending on their target's element.

In this guide we will look into:
- Possible builds for Archer
- Recommended Skill Points Allocation
- Recommended Stat Points Allocation
- Recommended Equipments for each Build
- Archer Class Progression
- Leveling Spots
- And Special Tips for your Archer


Recommend Builds: 

1. Double Strafe Archers - This is a popular build since it deals massive damage to a single target. However the build uses a lot of SP, so you need to bring a lot of blue pots or always use crab food to constantly restore your HP and SP.

2. Auto Attack Archers - This build focuses on sheer attack speed and deals continuous damage. You can also use this build to trigger Auto skill cards when doing normal attacks. In addition, you can use concentration potions to help increase your attack speed.

3. Arrow Shower Archers - This build highlights the AOE damage from the arrow shower skill. This is an efficient build when grinding monsters that cluster in a group. 


Skill Points Allocation

> For Double Strafe, max out Double Strafe, Owl's Eye, Eagle's Eye, and Improve Concentration.
> For Arrow Shower, max out Arrow Shower, Owl's Eye, Eagle's Eye, and Improve Concentration.

>Double Strafe deals neutral physical DMG to target
> Arrow Shower deals AoE DMG to target in front of you.
> Owl's Eye increases the Archer's DEX permanently.
> Eagle's Eye increases the Archer's range.
> Improve Concentration gives a buff that increases Archer's AGI and DEX.


Recommended Stat allocation

Double Strafe and Arrow Shower  Archer- Max Out DEX to increase the skill DMG.

Auto attack Archer- Add points to DEX to increase our Base ATK and add points to AGI to increase ASPD with a 2:1 Ratio. This increases both the base DMG and the attack speed.



Recommended Equipment

1. Double Strafe Archer:



Weapon: Falken Blitz
Armor: Tights
Garment: Wool Scarf or Hood
Shoes: Tidal Shoes or Soft Leather Boots
Accessories: Critical Ring
Cards: Rocker, Ninetails, Andre, (Racial, Element, Size) Cards 

Note: Since this is a skill-type build, all the equipment either adds DEX which increases Base ATK, or increases skill DMG.


2. Auto Attack Archer:


Weapon: Touch of Eye or Rudra's Bow
Armor: Tights
Garment: Wool Scarf or Morrigane's Scarf
Shoes: Tidal Shoes or Morrigane's Boots
Accessories: Critical Ring
Cards: Rocker, Ninetails, Andre, (Racial, Element, Size) Cards 

Note: You will be using continuous auto attack so equipment that either adds DEX or AGI will be good for this build. 


3. Arrow Shower Archer:


Weapon: Heavy Crossbow
Armor: Tights
Garment: Wool Scarf or Hood
Shoes: Tidal Shoes or Soft Leather Boots
Accessories: Critical Ring
Cards: Rocker, Ninetails, Andre, (Racial, Element, Size) Cards 

Note: Since this is a skill-type build, all the equipment either adds DEX which increases Base ATK, or increases skill DMG. In addition, you will not move around so the Heavy Crossbow will give more DMG.



Archer Class Progression

After graduating from the Novice Academy, you will begin your journey by traveling to Payon, the immense village built on the edge of the mountain, to receive your Job Change quest from the Archer Guild. 

The first quest is a quiz to where you need to answer correctly
The next quest is subjugating the Racoon.
Congratulations! You are now an Archer.
You will receive a Bow for your weapon. 



1. Once you change your job to Archer, focus on completing the "Twilight Lotus" quest.
2. You will be Base Lvl 15 and will be able to unlock the daily commission quest. Do not spend your daily tickets here and hunt monsters outside the town first. Until you reach Base level 17 where you can complete the "Traces of Baphomet: Sub quest."
3. Once done, hunts some Rockers and Thief Bugs until you reach Base level 22.
4. Continue the Main quest "Spirit Pieces."

Special Tips for the Archer Class:

- Don't forget to bring Elemental Arrows from the tool shop before you start grinding. Or use Steel Arrow to further increase your ATK rate. 
- Don't forget to buy Iron Daily in the tool Shop. You can only buy 40 pieces each day and you need iron to craft 2 headgear. 
- In case you need some ASPD, use a concentration potion to increase your ASPD.
