ok…..
so ive been playing maple sea (on my perfect xbowman im planning to make) for about 2 weeks and it owns cuz they got maple weps there so i get a second chance at em…….that second chance is well spent because my friends and i (who share our money) have maple weps comin out of our butts
u see we joined just in time to be in our prime training lvls (10-21) when maple b-day event came out…..and i live in California, US which helps because when its 11 am here its 3 am in japan/new zeland and 1am in singapore, etc.
……….nyway… i trained at henesys hunting ground slimes (virtually by myself) from lvl 12-21 (im now lvl 26 and just got my new whitebottom shoes) and, in short, my friend with a store permit who keeps all our maple weps literally has his inventory full and is forced to drop maple weps just to get better 1s that drop from monsters as he trains……….its a wonderful life XD

on a much less happy note ive been seeing waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many xbowman guides with *oooooh* Double Shot and *oooooooh* Power Knockback……..i have a lvl 102 xbowman on scania which i started in beta, then i restarted an xbowman in windia for ludi pq (now lvl 43) and, basically, im a very experienced xbowman and all i have to say to DS and PK is……NO
let me just tell u that yes arrow blow does become insuficient…………in ur 3rd job…..and thats when u get a good amount of points in arrow erruption and ice shot (strafe rox all sox but not a whole lot of knock back on high lvl monsters) so if u are planning to just go straight from lvl 10-lvl 70 *choughhackercough* then arrow blow is the way to go (thats my slogan) as for PK: this takes bowman and makes them bad warriors (aka: bandits…..XD jk jk) believe me, power knockback is not worth that xtra mp to be able to knock back some monsters by smacking em 5 lvls b4 ur 3rd job advance……….. and yes u dont add points to nything expcept xbow mastery, iron arrow xbow booster, and soul arrow until about lvl 60 and even then u still have Final Attack which will remain useful throughout the game (that extra atack costing no MP is good with monsters that u just barely 2-shot, thats 1 of the things that gets to you)
1 other thing that i can recamend is maxing Focus in those last few lvls (and/or blessing of the amazon) those acc/avoid points are nice to have
nyways………thanks for reading, i hope i wasnt too out there for u guys XD
