Closing Statement ************************************************************************ I am making a huge update to this guide soon, I will take a day or two from Maple Story, To add new things such as...Where to train, the 3rd Job things and a different way to put up your skill points. Also I will add things about the quests. (Sections Fame, Money, Equips, Fast, Easy Quests). ************************************************************************ ==================== I. Opening Statement ==================== This guide is only for people who want to be Crossbowman. This guide only has Double Shot and FA-less skill builds. So if you want an actual good Crossbowman read this guide it should help you out quiet a bit. There is absolutely no equipment guides in this because people put different equipments on there character so, there is no perfectly equipped person. By the way this is all my opinion you don't have to follow everything I say, and if this guide messed your character up in some way don't blame me in anyway or form you're the one that read this guide. ================ II. Legal Things ================ Copyright of Alex Neufeld - This guide was created by me so, do not copy this guide, translate it for sale, or make profit from it without permission from me and only me. http://www.hidden-street.net/ is the only website that may post this guide. ================== 1.1 Ability Points ================== I suggest you roll a 4 INT 4 LUK roll this will end up helping you do about 100 more damage around level 70. This is how your roll should look. The *'s mean any number. Your STR should be the same as your level, so when ever you level up just put one into STR and the rest into DEX. STR * DEX * INT 4 LUK 4 =========================== 1.2 Skill Points: Beginner =========================== Here is how you should put up your skill points. You can put up anything you want but make sure you have 3 Snails, I prefer Nimble Feet because you can use it later on and it will still be helpful! If you chose to be a Theif then chose Recovery and Three Snails. Level Skill+ 2 + 1 Three Snails 3 + 1 Three Snails 4 + 1 Three Snails 5 + 1 Nimble Feet/Recovery 6 + 1 Nimble Feet/Recovery 7 + 1 Nimble Feet/Recovery = 3 Three Snails 3 Nimble Feet/Recovery ====================== 1.3 Training: Beginner ====================== Don't leave the island until you are level 10. Level Location Monsters 1 - 10 Maple Island Green Snails, Blue Snails, Shrooms, and Red Snails ==================== 1.4 Becoming: Archer ==================== Okay now that you are level 10 and have at least 25 DEX. From Maple Island go to Southperry and all the way to the right of the map, then talk to Shanks pay him 150 mesos to go to Victoria Island. Now that you have landed on the boat in Lith Harbour go to the right and you will see a man behide a desk, his name is Phil talk to him and click "Take me somewhere else" then chose Henesy's. Now that you have magically appeared in Henesy's go near the middle of the map and you will see a man named Chief Stan go inside the portal to the right of him. Now you will see a statue with a man on a horse go to it and press UP on the keyboard, Walk right for a bit and you will see a giant tree walk inside and talk to Athena Pierce and accept everything she says, now you're an Archer. ========================= 1.5 Skill Points: 1st Job ========================= Here is how you should put your Skill Points up. Level Skill + 10 + 1 Critical Shot 11 + 3 Critical Shot 12 + 3 Critical Shot 13 + 3 Critical Shot 14 + 3 Critical Shot 15 + 3 Critical Shot 16 + 3 Critical Shot 17 + 1 Critical Shot, + 2 The Blessing of Amazon 18 + 1 The Blessing of Amazon, + 2 The Eye of Amazon 19 + 3 The Eye of Amazon 20 + 3 The Eye of Amazon 21 + 1 Arrow Blow, + 2 Double Shot 22 + 3 Double Shot 23 + 3 Double Shot 24 + 3 Double Shot 25 + 3 Double Shot 26 + 3 Double Shot 27 + 3 Double Shot 28 + 3 Focus 29 + 3 Focus 30 + 3 Focus = 1 Arrow Blow 3 The Blessing of Amazon 8 The Eye of Amazon 9 Focus 20 Double Shot 20 Critical Shot ===================== 1.6 Training: 1st Job ===================== I say Orange Mushroom Garden because it is almost never crowded even at the start of new servers, also because there is very good spawn and its simple training. WARNING before you level up to level 31, go become a Crossbowman. Level Location Monster 10 - 21 Orange Mushroom Garden Shrooms, Red Snails and Orange Mushrooms 21 - 31 Kerning PQ Jr. Neckies, Ligators, Cursed Eyes, and King Slime ========================= 1.7 Becoming: Crossbowman ========================= Okay now that you are level 30 go back to where you became an Archer, and talk to Athena Pierce again accept everything she says, now that you have the letter go out to where Chief Stan is and from there go to the top right of the map and go threw the portal. Now got to the very top right of the map and you will see a girl with pink hair, she is the Bowman Job Instructor talk to her and accept everything she says now kill the Zombie Mushrooms and the Evil Eyes and get 30 Dark Marbles, now go talk to the instructor again and you will get the Proof Of A Hero. Now go back and talk to Athena Pierce and then choose to be a Crossbowman. Now you're a Crossbowman. ========================= 1.8 Skill Points: 2nd Job ========================= Here is how you should put your Skill Points up. You may put 1 AP into Iron Arrow at the start but I prefer puting it into Crossbow Mastery. Level Skill + 30 + 1 Crossbow Mastery 31 + 3 Crossbow Mastery 32 + 3 Crossbow Mastery 33 + 3 Crossbow Mastery 34 + 3 Crossbow Mastery 35 + 3 Crossbow Mastery 36 + 3 Crossbow Mastery 37 + 3 Power Knock-Back 38 + 3 Power Knock-Back 39 + 3 Power Knock-Back 40 + 1 Power Knock-Back, + 2 Crossbow Booster 41 + 3 Crossbow Booster 42 + 3 Crossbow Booster 43 + 3 Crossbow Booster 44 + 3 Crossbow Booster 45 + 1 Crossbow Booster, + 2 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 46 + 3 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 47 + 3 Iron Arrow 48 + 3 Iron Arrow 49 + 3 Iron Arrow 50 + 3 Iron Arrow 51 + 3 Iron Arrow 52 + 3 Power Knock-Back 53 + 3 Power Knock-Back 54 + 3 Power Knock-Back 55 + 1 Power Knock-Back, + 2 Iron Arrow 56 + 3 Iron Arrow 57 + 3 Iron Arrow 58 + 3 Iron Arrow 59 + 3 Iron Arrow 60 + 1 Iron Arrow, + 2 Crossbow Booster 61 + 3 Crossbow Booster 62 + 3 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 63 + 3 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 64 + 3 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 65 + 3 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 66 + 3 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 67 + 1 Crossbow Mastery, + 2 Focus 68 + 3 Focus 69 + 3 Focus 70 + 3 Focus = 11 Focus 20 Soul Arrow : Crossbow 20 Crossbow Booster 20 Power Knock-Back 20 Crossbow Mastery 30 Iron Arrow ===================== 1.9 Training: 2nd Job ===================== By the time your level 60 you will be able to kill Coolie Zombies in 1 - 3 hits all the time, considering you have the level 60 armour and weapon. Level Location Monster 31 - 35 Land of Wild Boar I & II Wild Boars 35 - 51 Ludibrium PQ Ratz, Black Ratz, Bloctopus, Block Golems, Chronos, Platoon Chronos, Master Chronos, Rombots, and Alishar 51 - 60 Drake Hunting Ground DraKes 60 - 70 Forest of Dead Trees III & IV Coolie Zombies ===================== 2.0 Becoming: Sniper ===================== *Finishing* ========================== 2.1 Skill Points: 3nd Job ========================== *Finishing* ====================== 2.2 Training: 3nd Job ====================== *Finishing* ========= 2.3 F.A.Q ========= These are the Frequently Asked Questions about Crossbowman. There are very few questions because this is a Crossbowman only guide. 1st Question: Arrow Blow or Double Shot? 1st Answer: Double Shot, because it is more stable, and you get to use Critical Shot twice. Here's why Double Shot is better then Arrow Blow with numbers. Double Shot: 130% + 100% x 2 Arrows = 460% (If both arrows are critical) Arrow Blow: 260% + 100% = 360% 2nd Question: Final Attack or No Final Attack? 2nd Answer: It matters if you are going to get level 70 or not, if you are not then yes go ahead and use Final Attack. If you plan on getting to level 70 then no, don't use it because it does not work with the level 70 Skills. 3rd Question: Focus or The Blessing of Amazon? 3rd Answer: Use Focus because in the end it will give you 20 Avoidability and 23 Accuracy, 23 Accuracy because The Blessing of Amazon already gives you 3 Accuracy, and plus there is a glitch in the game where you will walk right by enemy but not get hit!. But if you chose The Blessing of Amazon you will end up with 16 Accuracy, no Avoidability increase and no glitch. 4th Question: Why Crossbowman? 4th Anwser: Well I chose Crossbowman's over Hunter's because there are a lot more powerful at level 50+, they hold there Crossbows like real men! Instead of just letting it sit there as if you dont want it, When in 3rd job they get Ice Arrow/Blizzard which is a lot better then Fire Arrow because you get to freeze the person for 3 seconds at level 21! ====================== III.
