Rofl @ Bowman comment.

See how Cam did his Bera archer? That's how you're supposed to do it.

I just forgot to tell you the specifics. If you want to be shootin' stuff, then you just do regular STR. If you want to Melee for a long time (AKA the smart way to go), you add STR first.

My Crossbowman is now level 36 and I <3 my new leveling location with him. I bought a 69 (HAHA 69) attack +5 Heckler (fast speed!) for 600k. That's a perfect heckler with 5/7 60%s passed. For 600k. I love Crossbowmen.

Now if only I could get to level 38 to use it...

Oh and me saying 2 in those screenshots was just a quick way of saying I'm on my way, as I was alone on map 3 and would come over for HS.

My 2nd job advnacement isn't far away for my archer. Can anyone tell my if there is any strong benefit of one or the other?

By the way, I think I'm going to lay off my cleric for a while and focus a little more on my side projects (thief- Afroguebean, pure int mage- AfrobeanFire, and my archer- Afrobean) so that will explain if you don't see my on at all for a while.

What? If I wanted to melee, I'd make a warrior. I made an archer for ranged attacks. I have no interest in weak as hell meleeing. And how is that the smart thing to do?

my 1st job advance ment is about 2 hours of playing time away or so.

and bandit you almost have as much dex as i do. lol

xbows = Cheaper (cuz of less demand), slower and stronger, they rival the power of sins later on.
bows = Insanely expensive in later levels, but faster and weaker. They won't get as big numbers but they'll get more of them faster.

Mostly, it's down to personal preference. Get a bow AND a xbow now and try using both to see which you like. Low level xbows say they're the same speed as bows, but the way the animation lags your firing causes them to be slower regardless. Personally, I hate using xbows and will go as a hunter. I also want a hunter for arrow bomb, which is more useful because of the stun. Xbowmen get a much stronger mob attack, though.

But really Chris, get to level 70 and give me HS. :P Honestly though, I will prolly play my archer more now because I haven't had the motivation to level my mage. It gets boring and the game keeps being so laggy and stupid, and it gets worse after every patch. I really hate the NCSU network. It doesn't get along well with MS. :\

My crossbowman is level 37 now.

Holy crap he's fun.

Like EB said. Regular bows are expensive. They even cost more in the NPC shops!

But srsly, in the 2 hours you have left, go between a Mountain Crossbow and the bow you have now. See which one you like best.

Personally, I chose Crossbowman because they are stronger and cheaper. I have a rockin' Heckler to use at level 38 which is a FAST speed, and I'll have Booster making it FASTER.

PQs will be fun =D

Apparently, emccky is Chris too.

Oni: That priest in my ss, Hellas, was someone I partied with at level 78 one time. She was 76. Now she's 82. o.O I won't really be training. I'll see what tomorrow brings in terms of what Wizet is planning on doing. Otherwise, I may try to motor to 82, where I'll have maxed SP.

Chris list: Afro, bonk, emccky .. you guys didn't know that? XD

Afro: The whole melee thing as an archer is that you'll kill faster in your teens going melee, with your str at the level 30/32 requirement.

Yea. I did that. It worked great. Then I got to be 25 and found that I was crappy at archery and crappy at meleeing.

So basically, I can't level for crap from 20-30, but I can level easily between 10 and 20? How is that worth it?

[banditcom]

You're just bad at the game.

XD

[Afrobean]

Actually, with 35 STR, I can't hit well with a bow, and my STR is too low to melee effectively anymore.

Good thing I have teeth to level.
