Guide Introduction
|
|
| Heya, few words before you start
|
It's Kopek, creator of vocation guides on wiki.
Keep in mind I created these having unexperienced players in mind, under level 200.
These guides are not made to show all or even the best possibilities out there.
I tried to show a path that is both comfortable and easy to follow for a newcomer.
The game has much more to offer than stuff listed below, go explore and have fun!

General Information

Archer is a distance vocation with both good physical and magic abillities.
Even that you should keep your distance, the health pool is big enough to not be scared of being hit by strong monsters.
Best choice for new players, especially for these with solo playstyle.

Tips
Leveling/Questing
After leaving or skipping Novus (tutorial island) you should focus on obtaining some sort of Bow. Good starters are 
. In order to obtain money for buying them from other players you should do Money Tasks.
Once you get a decent bow and some arrows, you would like to start doing Factions, Sub factions specifically. These missions are similiar to other route which is Experience Tasks, but if you won't do them early you will end up doing Factions tasks like Larva or Dwarf Guard on much higher level. While you are making quests and gathering some profit from tasks you should aim to obtain some light weight items such as 
and 
. It will be a good base for our Archer in reasonable price.
First Promotion Benefits
Upon promotion, your character receives a new title depending on your vocation:
- Archers become 'Royal Archers'.
Upgraded Title
Upon receiving the second promotion, your character receives a new title depending on your vocation:
- Royal Archers become 'Master Archers'.
"If you want to know more about promotion: Promotion."
Spells
The whole list of Archer's spells you can find here.
Equipment
Usual path of upgrading your equipment, keep in mind that sometimes you can find
Attributed items that are better than these listed below.
Attributes are luxury, not necessity. It's great to have attributes on your equipment, but getting money for runes should always be your priority.
