Why be an archer?

Archers are an underused class, but once they make it to the 3rd job, they
have amazing potential. They are possibly the most KSed class in the beginning
of the game, due to their lack of dmg stability, but the dmg range is greatly
improved once you get the bow mastery in the 2nd job.

unlike mages, who start out strong, to see a truly lethal archer, you must
make it to level 35 or so, which many people do not have the patience for

If this class does not sound appealing to you, you should not be an archer,
early leveling is a pain, but your hard work pays off in the 2nd job, and
archers become possibly the most deadly class in the game

Even if this does not sound appealing to you, give it a try, i didnt think
i’d like archers either, but here i am writing an FAQ on them

If you like to be up in the enemy’s face, and smash things
up close, try being a warrior

If you like to have a lot of mp, and kill things from a medium
distance, try being a mage
 Becoming an archer

Once you are off Maple Island, talk to the long haired, shirtless
viking with a skirt on, and when he asks you what job you wish to
take, choose bowman of course

Now backtrack a bit, and find the ticketing office, talk to the man
inside, and travel to the town called -Henesys-

it costs 80 meso i believe, which should not be a problem

Head off to the left or right of henesys, and level up once more

Once level 10, go into the area -Mushroom Park- in Henesys

go all the way to the right, and enter the building there, then
talk to Athena Pierce, and ask her to make you a bowman

If you have 25 DEX, and are level 10, you will become a bowman

Now that you are a bowman, Athena gives you one SP

*(Note) you should not buy the level 10 bow, you dont do enough
damage at level 10, just use your fruit knife until level 15*

   ============
//            \\
||Training Spots||
         \\        //
   ============

level 10-18
Train at -the hill east of henesys- for a while, you level pretty quickly
until the 20’s

level 18-26
I would recommend training on green/horned mushrooms near Ellinia

*You can also PQ(party quest) in kerning city at level 21, i would recommend
this until level 31*
