## Leveling Recommendations

**Credits to Kisoke for the guide.**

* At level 1-14, you can try hunting at Fareast Main Street. In this map, there are a lot of ChockKo and Trees. Both monsters drop materials that you can use to craft arrows with the skill Throwing Weapon Construction. Additionally, the arrows you craft will be stronger than the arrows that you buy from NPCs. Because of the availability of resources, you can hunt here indefinitely.
* At level 14-25, you will be able to take the quest Gift to Grandson 2 [Delivery]. This quest gives you a lot of money. You can use the money to buy Earth Arrows at Northern Promenade. With these arrows, you can try hunting White Fang and Polar Bear at Cape Northerin.

* At level 50-70, you can try hunting Twinkle or Platinum at Light Tower (currently unavailable) using Earth Arrows.

## Status Recommendations

There are generally two ways of playing Archers. You can either focus on STR or AGI.

* Your hit rate early game is quite low, so INT should be your priority. Increase your INT to at least 30, more if your attacks are still missing.
* If you use Elemental Arrows, prioritize AGI, because your damage comes from the Elemental Arrows. In addition, with a high AGI comes a high EVADE. As your HP would not run out, you do not have to buy potions, which are quite pricey.
* If you do not use Elemental Arrows, prioritize STR, because then you will waste less arrows. This works well when you are in a party with a Vates. As they can heal indefinitely, you can focus on damage.
