Archer FAQ
What is this?
This is a FAQ (Frequently asked questions)!
It shall help new Archers to to find their way.
It answers some questions which have been answered quite often in this Forum.
If u have any suggestions what I should add/change. Or when you find mistakes. Feel free to post them!!!
Flying
How can i fly?
Press “E” to open hotkeys-window. Then click on “Fly”-Button. You can drag the button to your hotkeybar if u want. Press “Space” to fly up and “z” to fly down (or arrow up and arrow down key). Press Fly button again to fall down. Don’t be afraid: You will never loose HP when u hit the ground (what a perfect world!).
Does flying always costs mana?
No! Only your first wings (the white ones) cost 2 MP/sek. Flying with Cash shop wings or the lvl 30 quest wings doesn’t cost mana.
Do I get new wings?
Yes! When you reach lvl 30, go to Ancient Dragon City Elder to get the quest for lvl 30 wings. Or buy Cash Shop wings from the item mall or the Cash Shop.
Does “Flying Mastery” work with lvl 30 wings or Cash Shop wings?
Nope it only works with your white beginner wings.
How can I fly faster?
Press “E” to open hotkeys-window. Then click on “Increase Speed”-Button. You can drag the button to your hotkeybar if u want. But u can’t fly faster forever. It costs Fuel (“Effective Time”), which u can refill with Fuelcrystals from disassembled equipment.
Equipment
My character doesn’t shoot anymore! My Ranged Weapon is red!
Your weapon is broken. Try to repair it (blame Leode if wrong hrhr)
OR
You have not equiped munition for your ranged weapon. Double click on the correct munition in your inventory to equip it.
Leode Edit: Even if your weapon is broken with 0 durability, you can still bring it back to NPCs to repair.
Where can I buy munition for my weapon? Which munition I need?
You can buy them at every Blacksmith under VII. But don’t buy the wrong munition:
1st row: arrows (for bow only)
2nd row: bolts (for crossbow only)
3rd row: bullets (for slingshot only)
I still can’t equip the munition!!!
Do you still use your starter bow? It has Rank 0. You can not buy or find arrows for it.
But you get a Rang 1 bow as Questreward for your first quest. Use this one!
OR:
There are 3 versions for every kind of munition. Perhaps you bought munition which requires a higher rank weapon. Check munition tooltip.
Which Ranged weapons are available?
Slingshot, Bow and Crossbow.
Atk speed: slingshot > bow > crossbow
Min dmg: slingshot > bow > crossbow
Max dmg: crossbow > bow > slingshot
-> xbow slow and unstable high/low dmg, slingshot fast and stable dmg range. Bow is between both.
Which weapon has the best range?
All range weapon got the same maximum range.
What is weaken distance?
Weaken distance is the distance below which you only make 50% of your normal dmg. High weaken distance is bad!
(Only lighting skills still do max dmg in melee range)
Weaken distance: crossbow > bow > slingshot
Should I use melee weapons when mobs reach melee range (weaken distance)?
Hm. Some ppl say they switch to Fist weapons when monster reach melee range. But don’t put additional points in STR to wear such a weapon. Just buy one which you can use with your current stats (usually lower lvl ones). You can make hotkeys for the range and melee weapon for fast weapon switching.
This might be a option until you get Wing attack (lvl 23) and/or Thunder bolt (lvl 13). Those do pretty nice dmg in melee range. You wont need any melee weapon when u learned those skills.
But which of the ranged weapons should I use?
Your choice. The one with highest lvl requirement and most stars is usually the strongest.
1) For normal attack the weapon with highest damage per second (=dps):
DPS = “Attack Frequency” x (min dmg + max dmg) / 2
2) For skills the one with hightest average dmg (not that sure about this, but it should be true):
average dmg = (min dmg + max dmg) / 2
What armor should I wear?
You should use light armor. It has decent magic and physical def.
You can find light armor equipment at Tailor in 2nd row of the buy menu’s.
For Light armor: STR = AGI requirements (it has no lable which says “light armor”).
What Soulstones should I put in equipment?
- Physical ATK stones in weapon.
- HP stones in rest equip.
(dodge and Pdef is only against physical dmg. HP helps vs magic and physical)
Statuspoints (= stats)
What do stats increase for Archer?
1 CON = Max HP +13, increases HP regeneration and physical def.
6 STR = 4 DEF; +5 STR = DEF +1 , increase MELEE dmg (you are NOT melee!!)
1 INT = Max MP +10
1 AGI = Accuracy +8, Dodge Rate +6, increases RANGED dmg
+ 20 AGI = +1 % Crit more
every Level Up: Max HP +26, Max MP +22
How shall i allocate statuspoints?
There are different builds. The most comon are PURE and HYBRID.
Pure:
STR: lvl+4 requirement for light armor. (example: lvl 40 -> 44 str)
AGI: everything else
CON: nothing
INT: nothing
-> every lvl: 1 str, 4 agi
Hybrid:
STR: lvl+4 requirement for light armor. (example: lvl 40 -> 44 str)
AGI: min 3 agi every lvl (to wear best possible weapon)
CON: depends on how much u wanna put in agi.
INT: nothing
-> every lvl: 1 str, 3 agi, 1 con (normal hybrid)
-> every 2 lvl: 2 str, 7 agi, 1 con (“half” hybrid)
simply every build which puts some points in con is called hybrid. It is not fixed how much u have to put in con. Some ppl even Cap it at a certain amount.
unusual build:
tank (max con, dex and str for weapon/equip req)
different pure (pure which only has str for weapon requirement)
What is the difference between those builds?
Major differences: Pure has more dmg and crit. Hybrid has more HP.
Comparing: hybrid, half hybrid, pure:
pure vs hybrid
4 agi VS 3 agi, 1 con (every lvl)
pure vs halfhybrid
8 agi VS 7 agi, 1 con (every 2 lvls)
halfhybrid vs hybrid
7 agi, 1 con VS 6 agi, 2 con (every 2 lvls)
Requirement for those tables to be correct:
Both wear the SAME Equipment. The equipment has no con/hp/agi bonus and you level mastery when ever possible.
But:
- when ATK is increased (better weapon etc) the “% dmg difference” wont change.
- when you get additional AGI by equipment, the “% dmg difference” will decrease.
- when u get +con or +hp on equip the “absolut HP difference” will be still the same (but the “% HP difference” will decrease)
additional info:
having more con will get you earlier more %HP
having more agi will not really affect dmg in early lvls. The % dmg you do more increases slowly with the lvl. That is because of the Bowmastery.
if u got questions concerning the tables. Feel free to ask!
You can find additional infos about the builds in the guides.
Information used for tables:
- dmg formula
- 1 con = +13 HP
- every lvl up = +26 HP
- every build got +1 str per lvl
How does AGI, Atk and mastery affect my dmg?
dmg = (equip atk + level)*[NewAGI / 100 + mastery]
That is the dmg you see, when u open “Character” by pressing the “C”-Button.
equip atk: physical attack of equipment together: rings + arrows + weapon (for min dmg calculation only min dmg of weapon / for max dmg calculation only max dmg of weapon).
level: Character level.
mastery: 1 + (bowmastery %) / 100.
example: example: 60% -> 1,6 | 12% -> 1,12 | 30 % -> 1,3 and so on
NewAGI: your AGI*2/3, because every 3rd AGI-Point doesnt affect the dmg. dunno why.. stupid system.
example: 150 AGI *2/3 = 100 NewAGI.
Rounding is needed by the way: 173 AGI *2/3 = 115,3 = 115 NewAGI. i think you know how to round numbers ^^.
-> every AGI increase your dmg by around +0,67 % of your equip atk (the higher your equip atk, the higher the bonus of one AGI-point)
-> Skills seem to work like a normal shot plus a fixed bonus or a percentage bonus of your equip atk (not 100% sure)
-> A skill that gives +300% equip atk, doesn’t mean that you make 4 times the dmg of a normal atk! at high Char-lvl with much AGI, +500% is for example around double dmg “only”.
Skills
Where can i learn skills?
At Master of Elf Archer in every "big" city.
Is there a list with skill developments?
Yes. Check those links:
http://asiapworld.com/pw/index.php?opti ... &Itemid=40
http://perso.numericable.fr/ecatomb/pw/
Which skills should i learn?
There will be no perfect way to spend Skillpoints. But becarefull. You wont have enough Skillpoints to learn/max every skill while you level up your character. So you may better skip some skills and choose wisely which you really need. After lvl 90 ppl say that you would have maxed out all skills.
Must haves: Bow & Arbalest Mastery (max), Repulsing Arrow (lvl 1), Great Precision (max).

I can’t use Frost arrow aka what is vigor?
After lvl 9 u get vigor. Maybe you need to complete cultivation quest, I am not sure.
Vigor is the Yellowbar under your name, below HP/Mana bar.
You can gain vigor points by casting buffs and by attacking. You need Vigor for some skills like Frost arrow. Later you learn skills which need Fury (1 Fury = 100 vigor).

http://perfectworldfr.jexiste.fr/artisanat.htm (got quest info too, but is offline quite often)
I am lvl 16-19. My Archer is so weak. Help me!
Do the cultivation quest when you hit lvl 19 -> you can learn repulsing arrow, which can knockback monsters.
And do the purple dungeon quest (kill some elite mobs + Boss with a party). The reward is a 3 star Crossbow.
Makes lvling much easier.
