INTRODUCTION MS001
------------------------------------------------------------------

Maple Story is an MMORPG (Massive Multi Player Online Role Playing
Game) that came from Korea similar to other popular titles like
Ragnarok Online, MU and many more. In this game you start as a
"Beginner" then advance to other job class like Bowman, Warrior, Mage
ect. similar to other MMORPGs. The difference is, Maple Story is side
scrolling similar to Mario Bros. games. It has a unique blend of
Manga/Manhwa (Japanese/Korean cartoon art) style of art and colorful
and crisp backgrounds. Equipments are based on many different items
from seriously good looking to as humorous as a bathroom plunger or a
mop. With all of this elements combined the game looks fantastic and
same time enjoyable.

When I first started playing this game I am having a hard time deciding
which class to pick since they all look cool. When I was playing
Ragnarok Online (I don't anymore) I used to be a hunter (archer class)
so I decided to give archer a try. After playing some time there comes
another decision making, you can be a Hunter which uses bow or
Crossbowman/woman who specialize in crossbows. Since many users uses
Hunter I decided to take a different path; the problem is I can't find
any guide that focuses on Crossbowman/woman so I decided to make one
for other future Crossbowman fellow.

------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAMER/NOTE MS002
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. This guide is purely my opinion or collection of my experience while
playing in game.
2. I haven't tried other class FULLY so if I compare them, this is
based from what is see.
3. Prices/Events/Quest/ and other stuffs in this game are subject to
change in the future.
4. Remember this is only my opinion so try different stuffs if you
like.
5. Don't complain to me if I mess your character it's not my fault I am
just sharing my experience while playing this wonderful game.

------------------------------------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD MS003
------------------------------------------------------------------

The game is free, so download it fast here http://www.mapleglobal.com/.

------------------------------------------------------------------
BOWMAN MS004
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bowman are class that specializes in long range attacks. There are two
types of weapon, a bow which is faster but weak and a crossbow which is
slower but powerful. They are also required to buy arrows; it has also
two different type, one for Bow and one for Crossbows. As we all know
Bowman fire arrows from a long distance which helps us to kill enemy
from afar before even reaching us. If the enemy gets to close an archer
immediately changes to a melee attack to knockback the enemy (you can't
fire arrows if the enemy gets to close, knockback at a rate depends on
the weapon and skill). In general Bowman can't jump and shoot (not like
Assassins) so its very difficult to fight in small places but if wide
areas Archers kills so fast and with out to much effort.

Bowman always start very poor and somewhat weak; poor because we have
to buy a lot of Potions and Arrows which cost a lot of Meso (MS
currency); Weak because of unstable damage versus other class. But
don't worry that only the start it gets better after you become
Crossbowman.

------------------------------------------------------------------
BOWMAN JOB CLASSES MS005
------------------------------------------------------------------

Beginner > Bowman > Crossbowman > Sniper > Crossbow Master
Beginner > Bowman > Hunter > Ranger > Bow Master

Same path, difference in weapon and skills. Currently with version 0.7
Snipers and Rangers are still NOT available.

Crossbow Master and Bow Master is not Available in any versions, I
think it is still in development.

------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL BOWMAN PROS AND CONS MS006
------------------------------------------------------------------

+ Decent HP and MP (not too low not too high)
+ Long range - kills enemy before it touches you
+ Good Critical rate when this happens the damage is greater than any
class
+ Weapons looks cool (well to me ^-^)
+ Can snipe enemy from safe distance or platform
+ A lot of dex means can hit a lot of enemy even bosses
+ Easy and convenient (e.g. when you're snipping just hold the attack
button and kill all the enemy on the other platform)
- Arrow bolts cost (not a problem in the future, because of Soul Arrow)
- Bad in small/tight areas
- Unstable damage
- Gets looted if you don't get the items fast (but this game has anti
loot)
- No jump attacks or skills
- No party skills

------------------------------------------------------------------
BOWMAN VS OTHER CLASS MS007
------------------------------------------------------------------

Bowman versus Warrior Class (General)
-------------------------------------------------
Bowman are long range attackers
Bowman has a lot of Dex to hit enemy
Bowman can't fight well in small areas (but somehow Power Knockback
skill helps)
Bowman has more MP
Warrior has a lot of HPs
Warrior is good in tight areas
Warrior can passively heal them selves much faster
Warrior got good def because of armors

Bowman versus Magician Class (General)
----------------------------------------------------
Bowman can fire in long range w/o any MP
Bowman has more HP
Bowman has a lot of Dex to hit enemies
Magician can dish a lot of enemies even at the start (kill-steal kings)
Magician has a lot of MP

Bowman versus Thief Class (General)
-----------------------------------------------
Bowman can stock a lot of Arrows (SOUL ARROW!)
Bowman can knock back enemy if they get close
Bowman sometimes has higher damage
Bowman has Finaly Attack
Bowman has more long range skills (means archers really born for long
range )
Bowman has no party skills
Thief need to buy expensive but powerful long range weapons (Stars)
Thief can Jump Shoot (very tiring I tell you >_<)
Thief can haste

------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSSBOWMAN VS HUNTERS MS008
------------------------------------------------------------------

Hunters are generally fast than a Crossbowman in terms of attack speed
but they are weaker than Crossbowman in terms of damage. Crossbows has
a lot of knockback rate and usually stronger than bow weapons. In terms
of skills, only one difference, a Hunter has Arrow Bomb which can stun
enemies at a rate and Crossbowman has Iron Arrow which shoots straight
and pierces enemy (no stun) and has higher damage.

Arrow Bomb at level 30 (max) can stun enemy at a rate of 60% and has
130 % damage. It can shoot in angle (not just straight). Can
damage/stun up to six enemies
Iron Arrow at level 30 (max) can pierce enemy (six enemies, loses its
power every enemy it pierces) has 180% damage, only straight.

Both of this attacks are well balance but for me Iron Arrow is
powerful; with 180% damage + critical shot + final attack this skill
will own anything in its path. even if you say that it loses its power
after it pierces the enemy behind it, simply not true, because with
Critical Shot in hand, if you spam it (yes spam it! till enemy gets
owned) Iron Arrows damage keeps changing similar to when you fire
ordinary attacks, sometimes (almost all the time) you get a lot of
damage from Critical Shot.

Also when you reach the 3rd Job which is the Sniper (Ranger for Hunter)
you'll get Ice Shot which freezes six enemies (up to 3 sec in max
level, yes it's a long one) and you can train in a higher level area in
Ossyria (Ossyria is not just ice area there is a fire area too! It's a
high level area so when you reach level 70 you're in the right place).

In terms of stat distribution, Crossbowman ends up with higher
Dexterity than a Hunter thus giving Crossbowman more damage over them.
For a Hunter your strength (str) should be plus five of your level.
(e.g. your level is 35 then your str should be 40 and so on until you
reach 75 str the rest to dex) as for a crossbowman your str should
equal your level (e.g. your level is 35 then your str should be 35 and
so on until you reach 70 str and rest to dex). As you can see,
crossbowman only need up to 70 str to equip its weapon but a hunter
need up to 75 str to equip its weapon, adding more stats into dex means
more damage.

With Crossbow Booster skill your firing rate is almost same as Hunters,
though Hunter has also this skill which gives them even more speed.

For weapons, crossbows has a lot of knockback rate and usually
stronger. But bows has additional stat bonus like plus to avoid or
accuracy, ect it also has a lot of variations like the Hinkel series
(lvl70 weapon) has a lot of colors and more enemy drops it versus the
crossbowman's Grossjaager not only it has one color (good thing its
black) but the enemy who drops it is kinda powerful so I am guessing
its expensive.

Finally, if you want pure damage but little slower then Crossbowman
owns if you want to shoot fast but smaller damage then Hunter is for
you. In a way it's a matter of personal preference since they have
skill that looks same. Example as a Crossbowman you'll get Iron Arrow
but if a Hunter reaches Ranger class they will have Fire Shot which is
fire based that pierces though enemies. Same goes with Hunter's Arrow
Bomb which can immobilize an enemy and Snipers (Crossbowman's 3rd class)
you'll get Ice Shot which freezes enemies (but doenst go by rates not
like stun from Arrow Bomb plus freeze is longer). But to me if your
reading this I am sure you're interested with crossbowman, I tell
you wont regret it when you get to higher level. So crossbowman all
the way!

------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING UP MS009
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. After downloading Maple Story in the Official Website, install it,
also register if you haven't, all you need is email address which you
can get easily from www.yahoo.com or www.hotmail.com
2. Double click the icon in the Desktop.
3. Enter your username and password.
4. Then select your Server.
5. Then create your character, enter the name, design a little, hit the
dice icon to roll your initial stat.
6. Once done, select your channel (select the one with short bar so
means less people in that channel)
7. Walla begin your game!

------------------------------------------------------------------
STAT EXPLANATION FOR BOWMAN MS010
------------------------------------------------------------------

As an Archer our damage is determine by how much Dexterity (dex) we put
in our stat. Dex also help in building accuracy in hitting enemies, so
that means it has dual purpose which make Archer class advantageous.
The second important stat for Archers is Strength (str) this is needed
so we can equip certain weapons, all weapons require to have a certain
amount of str. Str also adds melee damage for archers and also
increases the damage of the skill Power Knock Back. Other stat like
Intelligence and Luck means nothing so leave them alone Intelligence is
for Magic damage and luck is for Avoid and certain skill.

As a Crossbowman your target is Str should be EQUAL to your level until
you reach 70 str then the rest is to dex. Example when your level 30
your Str should also be 30, Level 35 you should have 35 str. do this
until you're level 70 (70 str also) other than that put all your stat
points to dex.

######################
#NOTE: (Update 11/15)#
######################
Since the new weapons will surely come out in the future of MSG then the
70 str borderline will have to move. The new Crossbows will need more
str so watch out for that. The pattern is still the same - your level
should be equal with your str but this time once the new weapons
arrive then you need to start puttng some in your STR again.

The new bracket is STR to 80 thats the new set of weapons req. str.

------------------------------------------------------------------
DICE ROLL MS011
------------------------------------------------------------------

Your perfect dice roll is four (4) on INT and four (4) on LUK and rest
in DEX and STR. some people take 5 or 4 in INT and LUK because it
really take time to get the perfect dice roll.

Remember DEX and STR matters the other stats INT and LUK doesn't matter
much so don't mind them.

DEX XX
STR XX
LUK 4 OR 5 (4 IS BETTER)
INT 4 OR 5 (4 IS BETTER)

------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGINNER (Bowman) MS012
------------------------------------------------------------------

To advance to another class you need to train your character to level
10. Since where going to be an archer we also need 25 dex in your stat.
Put all you stat points to Str first so you can kill much faster with
melee weapon anyway you also need it in the future, just keep in mind
you need 25 dex when you reach level 10. You get 5 stat points every
level up.

As a Beginner you'll be transported to Maple Island. Talk to all the
NPC there if this is your first time, they will give you some "Quest"
and teach you the basics of the game like jumping and stuffs. Try doing
every quest available in that area so you will get free items and
equipments, most of them are straight forward so no need for
explanations.

Now you can stay here until level 10, killing snails (Green, Blue, and
Red) and some small mushroom (small orange). It is much faster to stay
here since there not much people here and the respawn of enemy is quite
good. Grab everything that the enemy drops after killing it.

Once you reach level 5, buy Razor knife in the shop at town. This will
make your training much faster.

Avoid the big orange mushroom if you don't have red potions they are
strong. Try not to use your meso for potion since if you die as a
Beginner no Experience Points is lost. Use your meso for equipments
then potions if you like faster leveling and have extra meso to spare.

There is also a quest there (check other guides) where you can get a
fruit knife, this is a level 8 knife, if you can get this then it is
much better. The hardest item you need to get in this quest is the
Orange Mushroom Cap from the big orange mushroom to get this try
finding some where there are in a ledge and jump slash them from the
other ledge until they die, if not then just keep slashing them anyway
if die there's no minus points.

If you decided to leave Maple Island before level 10 (recommendable
around level 8) then kill Green Slimes and bring potions as well.

To leave Maple Island go the harbor and keep going right until you
reach the boat and pay Shanks 150 meso. You'll be transported to Lith
Harbor of Victoria Island.

Summary:

Target Level is level 10 with 25 Dex (requirement to be an archer)

Level 1-10 Snails (Green, Blue, Red), Small orange mushy
Level 8-10 Green Slime (outside Lith Harbor or go to Ellina and Exit
the top most portal (left) then 2 maps from there you'll find A LOT of
Green Slimes there).

------------------------------------------------------------------
BOWMAN MS013
------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you reach Victoria Island, You'll be in Lith Harbor, to be an
archer you need to go to Henesys. Walk down from the boat and you'll
find a guy inside a counter, talk to that guy and he will offer you to
be transported to Henesys w/ 90% discount of the usual price of town
teleportation. (around 150 mesos). If you did everything right form
Maple Island then you'll have enough meso to use the teleportation; But
if you want to walk all the way to Henesys it's not that far but I
don't recommend it (press W to see the world map).

Once your in Henesys go to the middle of the map and you will see a
entrance to the "mushroom park" enter that area then walk in the middle
of the map to find the Bowman Guild (don't know what to call it ^^).
Remember you need to be Level 10 and your dex should be 25 to be an
Bowman. To be a Bowman just talk to the Lady(Helena) in the structure,
once you satisfy all the requirement then you'll be an Bowman, your HP
and MP and other stats will be boosted, you're an Bowman now. ^_^

This Skill is OK, In making and Bowman you'll end up with extra

Comment:
This is one of the offensive skill you get as a Bowman. you need
to choose between this or Double Shot (master only one!). as for
this skill you fire one powerful arrow, some enemies gets
knockback in certain damage so this one can do the job. This has
low MP consuption vs. Double Shot. The problem with this skill,
is thedamage is unstable (but you can spam it too). I'll
explane more below to help you decide.

Description:
Fires two arrows at once to attack an enemy twice. Cost 2 arrow
bolts per shot.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
Comment:
This is one of the offensive skill you get as a Bowman. you need
to choose between this or Arrow Blow (master only one!). This
one has has a more stable Damage than Arrow Blow. it cost more
MP than Arrow Blow (2 MP more). I'll explain more below to help
you decide.

DOUBLE SHOT AND ARROW BLOW MS015
------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all master only one skill! Choose between the two. All in all
this skills is fairly equal. it's a matter of deciding which do you
like most (I know if I say that, it doesn't help much in deciding,
lol). So just to say this, no matter what you choose between the two,
you'll end up fine! It doesn't mean when choose AB you can train in
Golems, DS can still too... so don't get stuck deciding what to choose.

I wont give you too much math stuff or about damage calculations but to
me Double Shot has more stable damage than Arrow Blow. This is VERY
important to us Bowman since we have an unstable damage with our
regular attack. Both arrows can have a Critical Shot skills so damage
goes up form time to time. The 2 mp Consumption is not that big problem
since the ratio between Arrow Blow and DS is 8:1 (means if you
constantly fire DS evey 8 shots AB can do 9 shots). on the other hand
since this skill fires 2 arrow (130% each) you'll be draining alot of
arrows bolts at the start.

AB is one powerful shot pure 260% attack plus Critical Shot! at Some
people like this skill because if you happen to dealt a certain damage
to enemies, the enemy gets knock back (enemy flinch)then you can fire
more! because DS has half half damage per Arrow you'll have a hard time
flinching enemies until your high leveled.

Although the damage is fairly equal example your AB can fire 1000
Damage and DS can fire 500 and another 500.

DS gets more chance of critical shot and AB goes with max damage if you
got critical shot. DS can still knockback monsters once you get to higher
level (45ish i can knockback Wraiths)

Example: the monster Golem can only be knockback at a certain damage
around 1k+ AB can deal 1k+ damage, DS can deal 1k+ but the damage is
delt from 2 arrows. To make enemy flinch the damage must be done from
one source only so this means AB can make your enemy flinch if you got
a damage 1k up. on the plus side for DS since DS usually get a Stable
Damage if you spam DS the Golem easily dies.

Also if you choose to have Final Attack when you reach Crossbowman
class then both of this skill can have extra Damage. if you have DS
then you can knock back enemy by Final Attack since its has 250% damage
if max.

In the end its almost same... but if you still can't decide go with
Double Shot, im using it and im having no problem with it. In my opinion
this skill fits perfectly well also if you think about it, it has more
MP consumption so its probably stronger.

This is my initial build for my Crossbowman. There are not other build
for Crossbowman other than this and Arow Blow Build. As you can see
when you reach level 24 you save your skill points (dont distribute it
just yet) the reason is because if you add another skill point to DS
the MP cost will double and the damage you can deal with enemy is not
that great, this will save you more MP thus making your traning faster.
in addition to that, the enemy you fight is all same so you don't need
a stronger attack until later.

You can put anywhere you like for the last 9 skill points you like, I
just decided to put in in Focus since Blessing of Amazon is not
practical (Focus also add Avoid). And making 10 Arrow Blow is also not
parctical considering im using DS all the time and it's much stronger
because it's mastered.

######################
#NOTE: (Update 10/12)#
######################
A friend of mine told me that you can put the last free skill point
in Blessing of Amazon since you actually don't use Focus (now that
i think about it, hes actually correct) so its best to put it in a
Passive skill that is always in effect.

Read the explanation above. with this one can get 10 extra skill

like. with DS build you only get 9 Extra skill points but it doesnt
matter since you dont use Focus that much.

Level 10 -15 Green Slime at Ellina, Use a melee weapon instead of
Crossbows/bow. (from Ellina, exit the top most portal (left) then 2
maps).
Level 15 - 20 Slime is still ok, you can probably kill them in a few
hits, Orange Mushroom, Pig (from pig beach check hidden street
locations from other guide).
Level 20 - 25 Pig, Pig's with Ribbon (both can be found at pig beach),
Green Mushroom can be hard at first (Henesys left exit then go 2 maps
up, Ellina lower left exit), Party Quest at Kerning City is also a
good source.
Level 25-30 Green Mushroom, Horny Mushroom (from Ellina, exit the top
most portal (left) then 3 maps then find a tree trunk that has a hole
in it then enter that), Zombie Mushroom at Ant tunnel in Sleepywood
(use a scroll to teleport to Sleepywood), Party Quest is also a good
source.

CROSSBOWMAN MS018
------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you reach level 30 then you can upgrade your class to either a
Crossbowman or a Hunter. In this case we choose Crossbowman. To be a
Crossbowman you need to go the the same place where you first became a
Bowman (Remember Henesys, Mushroom park, ect...). Talk to the lady
inside the Bowman Guild (Athena Pierce), She will give you a letter that needs
to be pass to another another NPC. to find this another NPC go to TOP
Rigth side exit of Henesys town. Check you mini map to locate the NPC,
Shes at the Upper Right Corner of the map. Talk to her and give the
Letter that you got from Helena. before you go STOCK YOUR SELF with all
the neccesary stuffs like White Potions, MP potions, Arrow bolts.

Once your prepared with all supplies, give the Letter to the
Instructor. She will transport you to a small map filled with Cursed
Eye monster (I think they are weakened a little), you have to kill this
monster an collect the Marble they drop (its pretty much offten).Try
killing one at a time, don't force your self in to a small flat form
filled with this guys. If your having trouble killing them change your
Channel. Collect 30 of this Marbles then return to the NPC in the same
map, She will give you the "Prof of Hero". Bring this item to Athena Pierce at
Henesys. Athena Pierce then will let you choose between a Crossbowman or a
Hunter (be careful). Select Crossbowman and thats it, your stats will
be boosted and you get 1 skill point.

I just love this skill, some people don't like this one, but its
really useful and it saves me alot of Meso from buying 1000 of
arrows. Also, it gives space in the inventory (now I only have 4
space for my Arrows and everything else is pots). Its also
flashy ^_^ some people says that if you have Steel Arrow/Bronze
Arrow you can use its stat (+1dex, +1str, ect...) with out
consuming it.

Put at lease 2 points in it initially and its worth it.

------------------------------------------------------------------
THE THING ABOUT FINAL ATTACK MS020
------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, what the heck is FA? Well FA is a skill that lets you attack after
using a skill. It means when you fire a Double Shot with a certain rate
another arrow flies following DS. This skill has a plus and bad side so
take a pick.

This skill works on Arrow Blow, Arrow Bomb, Double shot and Iron Arrow.

Pros:
1. POWERFUL AT MAX
At max level this skill is like Arrow Blow, with 250% damage plus
Critical Shot this skill is a killer. At 60% rate you'll see this
almost all the time. I tell you this skill is a killer!!!

2. DOESN'T COST ANYTHING
It doesn't cost any MP just pure 250% greatness, it does cost
arrows though (not during Soul Arrow).

3. SPEEDY TRANING VS W/O FA
Since this skill doesn't cost any MP you'll save alot of MP for
other skills. You save MP, you kill alot of monster (more loot), you
save alot of MP pots, you also gain meso. And yes its super powerful

4. GOOD IN SOME TRANING GROUNDS
Example your training in an area where you focus in one enemy
instead of killing enemy by the number (example Golem, Drakes, ect.)
This skill will help you alot, it doesn't mean it wont help in a fast
respawn areas but your reaction time will be less with this (read more
below).

5. WHEN IT FIRES IT FIRES
What I mean about this is, even if the enemy is close it fires.
This can be good at a times, like if your cornered this will save you,
or your in a small platforms

6. KS BATTLES?
Im sure yuor pissed with people who KS u alot the this skill is
the answer! even a Assassin will surely be pissed by how powerful this
is, imagine your firing 2 DS at same time (or 2 AB). This skill is
really effective oncce you maxed it.

Cons:
1. LOST OF CONTROL
Because this skill is based on rates (it only appears base on
percentage) sometimes when you want to get away like jump into a ladder
immediately, you'll end up firing FA thus lost of control.

2. DOENS'T WORK IN 3RD JOB SKILLS
Some people says that this skills doesn't work when you reach
your 3rd job (Sniper). so it wont work with "Strife" and "Ice Shot" and
other skills. So if you want to be perfect when you reach level 70 then
don't get it.

3. MORE ANNOYING AT LOW LEVEL
With rate and damage is low, at low level it's more of annoyance
than helpful because it's so unpredictable. If you max it at lease
your use to it and it kinda appears more.

4. IRON ARROW PROBLEM
Instead of spamming Iron Arrow with bunch of enemy, you end up
firing one FA and enemy at the back can start moving before you can
fire another Iron Arrow. Imagine enemy is in one line (4 enemy), your
spamming Iron Arrow, enemy is flinching form Iron Arrow spam but FA
comes and hits the 1st monster only, first one flinch the other back
monster starts moving. again this is based on many situation it can be
bad or good.


In the end its pretty much equal in both ends. get it or not has its
own ways. I never tried the one with without FA but I'll try making one
as soon as im done with my character. The only problem I really hate
about this one is the lost of control or slow reaction. Yes the arrow
fires more faster than the usual attack but for example your in the
Fire Boar map, the number of enemy here is many and they are kinda fast
so if you keep firing DS then FA follows then you can't easily turn
around.

Heres a small visual aid.

_M3________________ Y>>>>>>__M1__M2______

M is monsters (imagine Fire Boar)and Y is You facing the arrows
direction. Imagine M3 is getting close to you. your Firing at M1 then
killed it, its time for M2. M3 is approaching near then fire your last
shot for M2, you killed M2 with a DS then suddenly FA appears, of
course it wont hit anything since you killed all the monster in that
side but here comes M3 and hits you because you can't turn around
faster because of the delay of FA.

Heres a good situation. lets base it on that one also. You started
firing DS on M1 then killed it with one shot then comes FA and hits M2
and killed it also. You turn on the other side and DS M3 and killed it.
this is how and how should FA works, well at lease the ideal.

both this situations will happen to you alot with FA. but it really
depends on where your fighting FA can be a great advantage in Sniping
or in a platform to platform attacks (like Coude Park IV).

FA is most effective if you max it, sure its crappy from level 1 to
20 but once you reach level 30 (max) then you'll love this skill more
than anyone else.

So decide if you want it or not, some people says that get it since its
a long way before you reach level 70 and it will help you alot in your
leveling (it does to me, specially in Golem training). Some people just
don't like the idea of wasting 30 skill points because it won't work on
3rd Job class.

If your deciding and can't decide just go for it. I got it and it helps
me alot (ALOT ALOT ALOT!), but I guess you have to use it to understand
its true ups and downs.

In this build we mastered, Crossbow mastery (at 19 only), Iron Arrow,
PkB and FA and half mastered at Booster and Soul.

when your using Iron Arrow Level 1, it's pretty good at mob controls
and strong too. it can handle kitties and Fire boar well.

If your not a big fan of Soul Arrow then test first if the length is
good enough. But to me 5-6 Soul Arrow i good. I like Booster, this is
very important to us slow attackers so try to put as many point in it
as possible so you wont keep pressing it and wasting MP and HP. This
2 skills are still needed with 3 Job advancement so i would suggest
put something in it.

The SAVE part is optional, if you want to distribute it right after
that's completely up to you but the MP consumption will be doubled so I
decide to at lease save 3 Level ups before distributing it (seems
strong enough for double MP consumption).

If you want FA less build then Remove FA keep same stuff like Mastery
at 19 and so on. Since you got 30 free skill points you can master
Booster. you can also master some of the Bowman skills like Focus or
anything you want.

Ultimately, try your own stuff, don't be afraid to explore other build.
^_-

######################
#NOTE: (Update 10/12)#
######################
I got this idea that seems effective. This build includes FA in it.
First add the 1st skill point to Iron then master Mastery (19 skill
points only) then add skill point to Booster (5 skill points) and
Soul (2) then FA all the way. the reason why im adding FA as soon
as possible (as oppose to my 1st build where after soul I added
Iron Arrow next), because if you think about it if you start
mastering this after Iron Arrow then you'll be in you level 55-60
your almost level 70 where you'll replace FA! (FA doesn't work
in Sniper skills). After mastering FA add 14 to Iron Arrow (should
be level 15 by now) then master PKB then Iron arow then Booster
and Soul.

Its proven this build seams more effective!

------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSSBOWMAN TRAINING AREA MS022
------------------------------------------------------------------

30-35 Jr. Sentinel at Orbis Tower floor 1-3 (i suggest floor 3). you'll
save alot of Meso and pots here. They damage 1. Ant Tunnel is also a
good place.

35-40 Wild Boar a good spot but kinda crowded and you'll be using alot
of pots. Ant Tunnel level 1. Jr. Grupin, Jr. Lioner, Jr. Celion
(kitties!)- from Orbis town go to the Exit then exit at the upper left
corner Exit.

40-42 Cloud Park, with Star Pixies - Exit Orbit Town then that it, Fire
Boar from Perion. Jr Pepe (snipe)

0================================================================0
Once you reach level 42 i HIGHLY RECOMMEND to scroll your Silver
Crow. this will make your leveling much much much faster. Get at
lease an above average Silver Crow (mine is 62), you'll find
alot from other people. Scroll it with an ordinary 100% scroll
from Henesys supply shop.

Since you'll be staying at Stone Golems alot of times, just keep
in mind that, the moment your life touches 600 or lower use pots
immediately. you'll be getting alot of hits here specially if
they respawn the same place your standing.

0================================================================0

following areas is if you have +7 Silver Crow Above Average.

42 - 50 Wraiths, Golems, Star Pixies, Lunar Pixies, Cursed Eye
(Green), Lorang (Florina beach monsters), Kitties (kill them by
the number)

0=================================================================0
Level 50 Time to make your Rower ^^, if you don't have scroll 60%
then just use 100% scrolls from Henesys. Max it this will help
you alot.
0=================================================================0

50 - 55 Golem can still work, Jr Yeti and Hector(dangerous)of El Nath,
Copper Drakes, Drakes, Cold eyes, Dark Stone Golem, Luster, Lunar

55 - 60 Dark Stone Golems of Sleepywood (not inside the Tunnel), Zombie
from Osyria, Cargos, Luster

60 - 70 Sanctuary II monsters, Dark Stone Golems

Try to always scroll your Weapon after Hecler (From Silver Crow to the
last one, Well if you want speed then get a Above Average Heckler then
upgrade it its powerful too, you can use it until 50.) this will really
really REALLY! help you I promise. Other than that all other weapons
are not worth upgrading (well it is if you have alot of meso then
upgrade all). If you dont have 60% just use a 100% scroll but think
first before you upgrade it since you might ruin it.

------------------------------------------------------------------
SNIPER MS023
------------------------------------------------------------------

As of version 0.7, 3rd Job Advancement are not available yet. Anyway
Sniper is the 3rd Job Advancement of a Crossbowman. You need to go to
El Nath in Ossyria to advance. You also need to be at lease level 70. I
have no idea what the quest is but im sure there is one.

------------------------------------------------------------------
SNIPER SKILLS (summary version) MS024
------------------------------------------------------------------

THRUST
At max this skill will give you +30 Speed! looks nice i don't know if
its recommendable though. its also PASSIVE! This plus +10 Speed Show
will make you like in Haste mode all the time =)


MORTAL BLOW
Almost like a change for FA, since FA doesn't work in 3rd Job
Advancement. With MB at a rate, you'll be able to fire arrow in a close
range (instead of changing to melee). there is also a chance you'll be
able to 1 hit kill a monster. Looks promising but I think I will master
other skill first.

PUPPET
Make a Puppet that the monster will attack (instead of you). The higher
the level the more HP the puppet has. I wanna see how effective this
skill is, but this skill will be very usefull i think.

ICE SHOT
Like Arrow Bomb but this time its ICE and the freeze also last for 3
sec at max (which is very long! i think longer than ice mage). so
freeze all the monster then STRAFE ALL THE WAY!!! WOOT CROSSBOW ROX!
LETS KILL BAINs!!!

ARROW ERUPTION
Fires arrow from the ground (multiple numbers) it can hit upto 6 enemy.
Not sure if to get this early but this will probably in my late or
middle build.

GOLDEN EAGLE
Summon a Eagle that will hover around you and stun anyone who is near.
The higher the level the more stun he can give. Very powerful stunner
but i hear you need some item to summon them (meso alert!).

STRAFE
Fires 4 Arrows! YES 4 ARROWS with 100% + CRIT SHOT! WOW!!! so ICE SHOT
+ STRAFE = BOOM!!! imagine spamming this one ^_^

SO STRAFE, ICE SHOT AND PUPPET are the skills im looking up to, Email
me if you know anything about 3rd job Advancement, I wanna hear how
Crossbow rox!


------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSSBOW'S BRIGHT FUTURE! MS0AA
------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes fellow crossbow users and future crossbow users, we will own MS
once Snipers appear! Recently i saw a high leveled Crossbowman (Sniper)
in action, I am so impress on how powerful he is.

Ice shot is powerful in holding enemies, it doenst go by rates not like
Stun from Arrow Bomb.

Since we got high Attack weapons than Bows we got more multiplier
in terms of damage calculation also add the extra dex we got.

Our slow attack is being compensated by alot of immobilizing skills
like Puppet and specialy Ice shot which can hold upto 3 sec max.
We also got booster so were NOT really slow...

We all know Ice Shot is not ment to do major Damage (we use Strafe to
do the damage! and Erruption for multi) so what we need is its max
freeze of 3 seconds.To reach 3 second max you only need 21 skill
points! (i just red this but looks legit) that means we dont need to max
the skill, beyond 21 skill point is the damage modifier of the skill.
Soo it means we got extra 9, yes 9 skill points to spare!

Ice Shot + Strafe is really effective!

Puppet doens need any Magic rock or summoning stone, puppet itself
has high deffence!

Thrust is useful, since we got extra points (from Ice shot) we can
put stuffs in this one or if not its up to you.

Since we can immobilize almost all the monsters in MS we can train
more easily and Solo at the same time. we got all the necesarry stuffs
to do soloing... enemy doing projectiles? we got puppet or even Freeze
em. angry mobs, Freeze em. ememies below you? Arrow Erruption em.
there are soo many posibilities we can make.

FREQUENT ASK QUESTION MS027
------------------------------------------------------------------

Whats Fame?
-----------
Fame is FAME! Every account gets 1 fame a day to use. You can only fame
the same person once a month. To fame someone right click the character
you want to fame, then press the up arrow. If you want to defame him
then press the down arrow.

Pls. don't defame someone without reasons or, stupid reasons... why not
just give that fame you wasted to other good players. makes sense
right?

Also fellow crossbowman give fame to our crossbowman buddies as well, I
do random faming once a while specially with crossbowman.

What are Scrolls and How to use Scrolls for upgrades?
-----------------------------------------------------
To use an upgrade scroll first open you Equip Window and Item window in
the "USE" tab. Drag the Scroll to the item you want upgraded. Example
100% Attk Crossbow Scroll, drag it to Silver Crow.

The 100% percent determines the Success rate the higher the success
rate the lower the upgrades it gives. The Equipment will determine how
many upgrade you can give to it. If you failed to upgrade (with 10%
scrolls you'll get this alot) The number of upgrades available goes
down as well. If you manage to successfully upgraded an equipment a
plus (+) and a number will appear besides the name of the equipment.

If your making Equips try using 10% first before using your 60%
scrolls.

Which should i choose AB or DS?
-------------------------------
Read above, it's in the guide...

Should i get FA?
----------------
Read above, it's in the guide... to save you the trouble i suggest yes

How To Make (Synthesize) weapons?
--------------------------------
For Crossbowman you need to go to Henesys and go to the Market Area and
you'll find Vicious. Talk to him and he will make you different kinds
of items like Gloves, Weapons, Boots and Arrows.

You need to gather the necessary supplies to be able to make one, you
also need to pay Meso. To see the items needed, talk to him and select
which item you want to make and you will see the list of items needed
to make it.

All the Gems, Precious Stones, Crystals you need are need to be
processed, NOT ORES. You need 10 ores to be able to make a refined
stone/crystal/gems. Towns like Sleepywood, Perion has an NPC that make
those

All items made by Vicious are all AVERAGE, just like the stuff you buy
at the shops. you wont be able to get the one with extra stat or above
average attack power in making weapons - they only come from monster
drops.

Is it true that Crossbow users should only use AB?
--------------------------------------------------
No, you can us DS as well if you want to... its a matter of deciding
which you like.

How to Jump Shoot?
------------------
Well we can't but you can do a Jump shoot by pressing the Attack button
and the jump button simultaneously. This is not like Assassin's jump
shots but its more of moving around much faster. (read down for more
info)

What's Pots?
-----------
Term use for Potions (MP or HP).

What's KS?
---------
KS or Kill-Steal is a term use if someone kills the monster your
currently attacking. This is bad thing to do since the Exp you get is
affected and the item drop can be looted. Most mages are known for
being KS-kings (NOT ALL OK? DON'T BURN ME!) coz of there super damaging
powers and they can be long range. As a Bowman we can be the next to
the title so don't do this so we wont get the nasty title.

Is this game free?
------------------
Yes this game is free

What is Cash Shops?
-------------------
Cash shops is a shop where you can buy cool and unique items, you need
credits to buy items there. to get credits you need to buy it using
REAL MONEY. Items you got here cannot be traded or drop.

What are the Stats for the Equipment in Cash Shops?
---------------------------------------------------
As far as i know (not 100% sure), When you Equip your Cash
Shop items you just equip it over your current Equipment, means
you still get the stats of your equipment but the design of you
avatar looks diffrent. Example, your currently equip a black
bandana (not cash shop item, +1 int) then you equip a new
headgear from Cash Shop like the cowboy hat, you Equipt it over
the Black Bandana. Your character looks like wearing cowboy hat
but you still get the +1 int from the Black Bandana.

How to go to Orbis?
-------------------
Go to Ellinia, climb the to the top right most of the map, you
will see the entrace to the dock area. Talk to the lady behind the
counter. 3000 meso for 1 jobbers and 5000 for second. Give your
ticket in the next NPC located at the right most part of the dock.
(she will only accept it if you cans ee a boat beside her). Boat
leaves every 20 min (check the clock in the Dock area).

Once inside the boat wait for it to leave. Talk to people, play
Omok or Match cards. If you want to leave the boat just talk to
the NPC at the center of the boat.

Once the boat leaves, you can enter the cabin in the center of the
boat. Stay outside if you want to hunt Crimson Balrog (he appears
from time to time, Cabin is safe). Wait for the boat to arrive in
Orbis.

How to go to El Nath?
---------------------
First go to Orbis. Go to the Lower Left most entrance, you will arrive
in Orbis Tower. there are 20 floors down so if this is your first time
stock up with all the needs. Climb down and Exit the tower. you'll be in
a snowy map, pass this map is El Nath.

When your in a Snowy map your HP decrease from time to time. Also you can
use some Statue-Teleport Scroll (buy to other player) or do the quest to
get one your self. By getting this Scrolls you can go up and down Orbis
tower by clicking the Glowing gem on the 1st and the 20th floors.

What is a Mule?
-------------
Mule is another character from your account that hold all the stuffs for
you, like ores , equipment to sell, ect... this is convinient if your in
Orbis and you want to visit Victoria and vice versa. To transfer items
and meso you need to go the item storage NPC (usually all towns has one
execpt Orbis) and transfer items and meso over there.

them, Check "About me".>

TIPS MS028
------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Conserve Meso by not buying alot of flash stuff that does nothing.
Example, earrings, some of this are not worth buying at the early stage
so don't waste your meso here (buy when you reach 40+). Head Gears that
look cool but does nothing, Weapons that look cool but not for us (e.g
Red Whip). The point is don't waste meso if you don't need it, this is
like real life, if you budget your money well you gain money well.

Now if your rich then (which you can be in the future) then that's when
you start buying those useless stuffs. but right now just focus on
Weapons and Equipments first!

2. Scrolling weapons and equipment is good idea. Before you do that you
might want to get the above average equipments especially for weapons.
A Seven (7) 100% crossbow scroll cost 490,000 Mesos but its worth it.
If you want to make cool weapons like for example a Speed Shoe first
try Scrolling 1~2 10% Speed Shoe Scroll before using the 60% Scrolls.

3. Try conserving your MP every now and then, if you think you can
handle monster with a couple of shots then just kill it in a normal
way. in this way you can save meso through MP pots which cost alot.

4. Know your limits, if the enemy is too strong dont bother leveling
there even if your sniping in a long distance. not only your wasting
arrow bolts but also time.

5. Use jump shot for faster attack (look down to see how)

6. Use Ropes, Ladder as an advantage. Example in Red Kitties (Jr.
lioner) area you'll find a rope in the middle of the map use that to
gain space by grabbing it and jumping on the other side. This will help
you line the enemy for IRON ARROW ~

7. Pick all the enemy drop, the only way to get money so don't be a
lazy ass.

8. DON'T BEG! have pride and don't beg for other people to help you.
stand for your self and earn your own money. MMORPG reflects your
personality, if your a beggar here your a beggar outside the game

9. DON'T KS we all know this is bad, don't try to steal the title from
mages. *Peace MAGES i love you all <not sarcastic promise>!*

10. DON'T DROP your weapons or items, i have a friend who got looted
because this guy dared him and my stupid friend drop his Kumbis Star
the other guy manage to grab it.

11. NEVER try to HACK or use other hack programs. This will ruin all of
our maple lives... I know a game where there a bunch of Bots moving
around and "that" game became so boring and almost dead...

12. Be nice, Be nice to other player don't be rude or do bad stuff
(racial, age, ect. discrimination). This game is international and
you'll find alot of different people with different culture.

13. Always think of a target, thats how I keep my self playing this game.
For example I want to get a red whip, or atk work gloves, keep your target
in priority and eventually youll reach it and it will feel good!

14. Whenever you train always put a limit in your training like, 10% each
round then i'll go back to town to do some chatting or relaxing. It might
be slow but it will keep you interested in the game

15. Enjoy the game, this game is a fun game so don't be pressured by
Training all day, or finding cool items. Do RELAX and have a good chat
with your buddies.

JUMP SHOT MS029
------------------------------------------------------------------

So you want to jump shoot? well the most easiest way I recommend is
changing your config. by default your jump is at Alt. Click on "Key
Settings" at the lower right corner of your status bar, A keyboard
like thing will appear.

To jump shoot you need to press both jump and fire button at the same
time. In your Key Setting put your attack button (example Double shot)
in "Z" then your jump at "X" for some reason i can fire easily when i
put my command in the letters of the keyboard. You can put it any
letter you want as long as they are close together and your comfortable
with it.

Jump Shot is not same as the one from Thief, because they can fire in
a higher ground as for us its more on just moving around much faster
(when you fire its just same as firing while standing).

Learning jump to shoot is good for us Crossbow users since it adds to
the speedness of our reaction time.

RECOMMENDABLE EQUIPMENTS MS030
------------------------------------------------------------------

Scrolled Heckler
This weapon is the fastest crossbow, so get the above average and scroll
it.

Scrolled Silver Crow
Above agerage of this and +7 100% upgrade will make you like having a
Rower at an early stage

Speed Shoe
Get a Whitbottom Shoes (buy at Henesys or rare drop of Dark letty and
Iron Hog) this Shoe has a build in +3 Speed (above ave is +4) by adding
a 10% Speed Shoe Scroll first (takes patience and luck!) youll get a +6
Speed, then add 4 more 100% speed will make you +10 speed! this will
really make your leveling much faster! plus add the Speed potions which
you can buy in almost all towns, you'll be walking like in a Haste!.
If your feeling lucky try making more than +10 by scrolling 2 or
3 10% and use of 60% scrolls. The good thing about this shoe is its
"Common" means you can use it to any diffrent class even though your
not a crossbowman.

100% gives +1 Speed
60% gives +2 Speed
10% gives +3 Speed

ATT Gloves
Scroll 10% or 60% ATT Gloves SCrolls in a Work Gloves. Work Gloves is
also "commom" means it can be used in any differnt job Class. As far
as i know there is no 100% Att Glove Scroll. Currently this scrolls
are really expensive so better tink twice before using it. To make
a Work Gloves go to Kerning city and ask JM of Streets to make one
for you (15 Leathers). You can also use glove for Bowman, its completely
up to you.

Jump Shoe
10% Jump Shoe scroll is a very nice scroll if you manage to succesfully
implant it. I suggets use the Whitebottom shoes as well. after using 10%
you can buy 100% in a store if you want to use that. 60% is avaialble
also. This scrolls are becoming expensive.
