Hi kariin i want to know Which one is better, mithril arrow or artisan arrow ?

kariin · Jan 10, 2017

Click to expand...

i'd say, depends on your playstyle
Artisan Arrow - Base Atk 30, MaxMP +100 Motion Speed 1%, Stability 24%
Mithril Arrow - Base Atk 32, crit 1%, cdmg 3, long range 1% stab 20%

if you want the crit stats + the extra 1% long range (ideal for arch), i'd go mithril
if u're like me n always short on mp n need that 1 extra push with an extra 4% stab, go with artisan

Click to expand...

a lot of aggro, and blinding the target. but the main purpose that i use it is to create a 1 mp combo by putting it under the save tag.

I’ve never been one of those people that like to test a bunch of different builds and write about them. Heck, I’ve never even written a guide before in my life (at least not a gaming guide). However, with much request, here’s what I have for my Pure Archer build with variants.

First. What is a Pure Archer? Someone that uses a bow.
Therefore, keep all comments about bow guns OFF of this thread. Greatly appreciate it.

Second. What’s the difference between an archer and a gunner (sniper)?
archer - med dmg, longer cast time for pshot (around 3secs), high ailments chance like tumble, stun..etc, more range, more crit chance, uses a bow
gunner (sniper) - high dmg, shorter cast time for pshot (around 1secs), low ailment chance, less range, less crit chance, uses a bow gun
if i missed any of differences. let me know...

Third. Why would I go with an archer then?
Because I want to.

Fourth. Some notes before starting (recommend read) -

I’ve only rebuild this archer once completely from scratch around lvl50 cap with the help of @Kimesato following his guidance. His guide does a better job explaining stuff if you want to read it here

Since the rebuild, i have reset one skill tree to get more skill points around lvl70 cap since I was desperate for skill points i didn’t have.

I read a lot about each skills before picking and choosing what to and not to level.

I also ask a lot of questions (to guildies) before picking and choosing what to and not to level.

I hate math, so I can’t tell you how many skill points there is right now and how to evenly divide them to get exactly what you want. I’m sure there’s a bunch of guides here that does tell you how many skill points at the lvl100 cap though

with that said don’t just start randomly throwing 10 stat points in each category...they may not add up

I am not responsible if this build does not work for you.

I don’t care if my build sucks, it works for me and I’m happy with it.

If you have nothing positive to say, I recommend you go elsewhere and take the negativity with you as well.

I am open to suggestions on how one can improve a build if they choose to

Finally.
When you’re done reading all that, you can now proceed to read this -

The Pure Archer Build
Current Version - 1/4/17

1st Stat - Full Dex - I pour all my stat points in here when that's full
2nd Stat - Str
Did not set personal Stat, not planning on it anytime soon.

Lv3 Shot Skills
Power Shot 10
Bullseye 5-10
Moeba 10
Paralysis 10
Smoke Dust 5
Arrow Rain 0 if you really need it, sure. this was the skill i reset cause i desperately needed skill pts. i only had it because it helped me lvl w/ease before all these awesome side quests came out.
Snipe 10
Shot Mastery 10
Sneak Attack 1
Long Range 10
Quick Draw 10

Optional -

Lv1 Magic
MP Charge

Lv2 Battle Skills
Attack UP
Smash
Critical UP

Survival Tree - of you have a HP or MP issue. it does require a lot of extra skill points, if you have enough to spare, add some here.
Safe Rest
HP Boost
Short Rest
MP Boost

Lv2 Hunter Skills
Kickback - 5 <--i don’t really like this skills because it brings my archer too up close n personal with the boss. I only have 5 here so i can get the sunrise
Sunrise - 5-10 <--good skill to have, it does have a very high atk dmg when use in combination of the sleep trap, dmg will be 2x when boss is asleep from sleep trap. I currently have it at 5 and will eventually bring it up to 10.
Sleep Trap - 1 <--don’t need more than 1 since it doesnt increase duration if lvl up, lvling up will only increase MP regen to 200 at lvl 10 if used with combination of a bow

Video here of me testing sleep trap + sunrise
Thread about it

Armor -
Boss Drops -

Forest Wolf Garb: Dodge+4, ASPD +200, Crit+4 (beginner level)

Drops from Forest Wolf in Marbaro Forest: Deepest Part

Killer Coat: Crit Rate+6, MATK +2%, Attack Speed +10%, Dodge +10%, Stability +6%, Dark Resistance +4%

Drops from Boss Roga, Saham Underground: Deepest Part

Player Craft -

Dex7%, Crit +11, CDmg+11, Crit Rate 11%

Dex 7% cdmg 7% cdmg 11 - if u’re more of a burst dmg typaperson

I always preferred light arms.
If your dex points is under 150, i'd go with dex+11 instead of 7% since it'll get you more than 7%

Bow -

Boss Drops -

Forest Wolf Bow(70%): Wind Element, ASPD +12%, Evasion Rate%+6

Blaster Bow (60%): Damage to Neutral +25%, ATK +2%, Physical Resistance +5%, Guard Rate +3%, Accuracy -12% - Good for Roga farming only

Player Craft -

Forest Wolf Bow (70%) - love the stability on this, but low pot craft and now low atk compared to more recent bows T.T

Icebow Verglas (60%) - Base Atk 60

Desert Mentum (55%) - Base Atk 66

Stats suggestions

If your Dex stat is capped - Atk 7%, Cdmg 7%, Cdmg +11

If not - Dex7%, CDmg 7%, cdmg +11

if you don't care for crit stat n want higher atk #, Atk 7%, Dex 7%, cdmg+11

or more crit go Atk 7% Cdmg +11, crit +11, crate +11%

if you dont care for stability, the huge steel bow has a Base Atk 80 with 40% stability - here's an old thread highlighting difference

Note -i don’t really use boss drops since, so if there are any other good ones, let me know and i’ll add to this list

Arrow - i always carry an arrow of each element and switch out depending on the weakness of whatever i’m fighting.

Ceramic Bow - Earth Element - Quest Reward

The Overlook Snack - NPC Zono in Sofya (the bitter nut quest)

Fire Arrow - Fire Element - NPC Craft only

mats: 2 Minotaur Horn, 10 Twinkle Stones, 100pt Metal, 50pt Mana, 150s

Ooze - Atk +2%, Matk +2%, Def -2%, MDef -2%

Mauez - MaxMP +150, Crit Rate +2, Accuracy -4%

MP +150/HP+200 - i use it as placeholder until i get one of the other stuff

Snipe (Smite) - to increase snipe attack

Power Shot (swift) - to decrease time, like if your pshot is at lvl10, pshot swift will take around 1.2ish secs to charge.

Combos Suggested by @PhongTom

1MP Snipe + Debuff: Moeba > Smoke dust (save) > Power shot (Swift) > Snipe (Smite) > Parashot (cons) - Tumble and Snipe, Tumble make you safe while doing Snipe, this combo can inflict all status ailment from Shot skills

1MP Quick Snipe: Moeba > Smoke dust (save) > Snipe (smite) > P.shot (swift)

Combos Suggested by @Lexiand

Moeba>Smoke Dust (Save)>Power Shot (Swift)>Paralyze Shot (Consecutive)>Snipe (Smite)>Sneak Attack (Consecutive)

Take note on a few things, tho:
1. It's very effective in parties, providing endless-long range support. But, it's bad for soloers. It's obvious why. '-'
2. Use "Sneak Attack" after an ally gave the first hit to the enemy, and right before we initiate the combo. The enemy might target us if we use "Sneak Attack" before anyone else are attacking.
3. High chance of inflicting 5 status effects (slow, blind, tumble, paralyze, guard break), without needing to worry that the enemy might attack us. We might still get attacked by the enemy's AoE, though.
4. We can continuously inflict status effects on the enemy due to its 100 MP cost, but beware of the long combo.
5. The "Snipe" damage is quite high, powered at 130% (-20% from save, +50% from Smite).
6. If we wanna tank instead, change the "Sneak Attack" with Bullseye. Total aggro will be 1600.
7. I don't have MP charge, so I usually auto attack 4-7 times before re-initiating the combo, to refill my MP. Maxing the Quick Draw is highly recommended.

if you have an awesome combo you want to share, let me know and i’ll add it, there’s a variety you can do and play around with.

Mostly proves that this build works for me and for me to keep track of stuff, and my play style might be wayyy different than yours.
- 98k roga - ss here
- 79k MW with gems (unplanned), 73K norm. Consistent at 61k
- 144k Pillar Golem - ss here
- 88k Mochelo Ultimae (lv90) - ss here
-110k Volg Ultimate - vid here
- 110k ECB - vid here @lv105
- 128k Pumpking - vid to come @lv105
Video of most of these here

smoke dust, bullseye and paralysis are all very high in aggro. sneak won't save u from it. if you dont want aggro i'd take bullseye out it'll minimize it a bit.
