The number near my level moved

But school's started now D:

EDIT: before anyone asks, yes, I was soloing MDTs due to lack of priests around to train with me.

I don't know why you wouldn't take them.

For moral reasons. I am legit. I pride myself on not benefitting from hacking.

ps Mr MDS: if my HP cleric goes as planned I can do MDTs with you pretty soon

Keeto: Okay so I temporarily traded your 8 dex ic2 (28m ish) and your 8 atk imperial (44m) to trav for 50m. Once you get 22m, you can buy back the 8 atk imperial or buy back the cape for 8mil (so that he gets 50m worth of stuff). I found an amazing deal:

10 atk, 5 str, 2 dex DARK IMPERIAL for only 115m. PC on SW is around 140m+, and the atk is equal to a 11.2 atk wg.

PS: You can hit 1055x on Duals, and you can hit 10k+ on them with charged blow.

As long as you know what you're doing, go for it. You've always been good with the money.

[magister_negi_magi]

I had no internet connection for a week, so I couldn't train. On the upside though, I did my first Ludi PQ the other day. Holy crap, fun. The EXP and items are ridiculous.

Annoyingly enough, both Alishar and I died simultaneously after taking this shot.

[ProtoMDS]

@Afro: That would be ****ing awesome.
@ Keeto-Larry: That's lame, I can only hit 5k with Fury. Overpowered DK my ass... =.="
@negi: That's one of the beauties of Maple, along with simultaneous drops and simultaneous levels.

k a quick question:
Im going FAless on my xbow.

Should I put those points into Focus or arrow blow?

[ImEric12]

Focus if you plan to make it to 4th job, because there's a skill that heavily amplifies avoidability, so it's better to have more. If not, go arrow blow so you have a ranged kb skill.

[GFGLegendary]

Think about it like a warrior. Do you want more weapon def, or do you want to max power strike? (bad analogy sorry), basically, what you'll gain by maxing arrow blow is high damage. Plus with FA needing 30, you can put the remaining into focus..if you put 19 into mastery (I reccomend, you have plenty of acc) 20 into booster, 30 into w/e the arrow bomb xbow version is (never made an xbow) 20 into arrow blow that's still having 31 points to allocate into whatever you wish.

[ImEric12]

Actually that's wrong. Arrow blow's damage is no higher than Double shot's. Obviously you'll be getting pkb, iron arrow, booster, 19 mastery, enough soul arrow. Did you start maxing ab or focus first job?

[ckj846]

Heh... Max booster for sure. Get soul arrow to at least 10. Then do what you want with other points. I did arrow blow for kb, and it really does help out a lot. Focus... I don't know. The 4th job skill seems relatively useless just because by that time, you have puppet and hawk. Stun+sniping means you will hardly ever get hit. Which is why I didn't really get focus. Why take a chance with more avoid if you can keep the enemies away with kb from Arrow blow? Ehh, it's really up to you though. You don't need to worry about it until 6x though if you're going faless.
O_o

[evilbutterfly]

What 4th job are you guys even ****ing talking about? I keep up on 4th job stuff and that doesn't sound familiar at all. Also, if you think about it, Focus is dumb because bless overrides it. I would max Arrow Blow AND Mastery. A more important 4th job skill is advanaced mastery, which requires maxed 2nd job mastery. It's just 1 point to put in, so it's no big deal, and it means you won't need to throw out a 4th job point on it.

[ImEric12]

The xbow skill Blind.

rossbow Master: Blind /K:블라인드 /J:ブラインド
Type: Active
Description: For a period of time, shoot arrows that can inflict darkness on enemies for 5 seconds.
Max Level 30: 40% success rate, 180 seconds buff duration.
Comment: When Blind is casted, Crossbow Masters can inflict the "Darkness" or blind status on monsters that are hit by any of their attacks, including Ice Eagle.

[evilbutterfly]

That doesn't boost your avoid. Also, having more avoid wouldn't help that skill very much. Think of the Jr. Boogie skill that blinds you. That xbow skill does the exact same thing, but to enemies. I've seen an xbowman video where he stands in the middle of monsters using Arrow Eruption. They all get affected by blindness and the xbow guy just kept getting missed constantly. Not just some of the time, EVERY SINGLE HIT missed, even ranged shots. 20 more avoid won't matter. Plus, by 4th job everybody will want to party archers, so you'll get bless from priests, so focus will be overriden.

Also, if you've never played a 3rd job archer, let me warn you: TONS OF KEYS. It's not at all like a mage. I ran out of room on my keyboard, just about, when I played a Ranger. Getting Focus means one more skill on your keyboard, one more buff to keep track of, and a little more MP used. It's annoying and not worth it. Arrow Blow helps by giving consistent KB, which can really help save your life, which is more important than doing more damage with DS sometimes.

Something similar happened to me. We finish off Alishar, leader gets key, we're about to get out, then... BOOM one of the remaining goons killed me. =|

Anyone know how much Red Snowshoes with 4 Acc 8 Avoid 3 Slots would be worth?

qfe. You really don't know how crammed keyboards can get with rangers... And now I have even less room because I smashed Hawk somewhere on there haha. I'll take a pic of my skills later. I'm a bit busy at the moment.

PS: I completely forgot bless added avoid. If you think about it, 20 avoid doesn't do very much then. Compare your archer with bless and without it. You can hardly notice a difference. Actually, I would probably max soul AND booster first, then add your extra points in to arrow blow. 15 or so arrow blow is enough to kb a lot more constantly then ds.

Priest uses so many keys as well. =\

[monp787]

So how much are7acc 14avoid shoes worth?

Not really...

I only use Heal, SR, bless, invinc, HS. Other skills are on the board, but they're hardly ever used.
