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.

==================
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.

1.6 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.

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!
