Hi
I’m a G8 Crossbow Archer from Temoz. Throughout this guide I’ll let u know all the stuff I know for being an Archer. I’ll go lvl by lvl and explain what Quests to do & other Important stuff to do, so that u do not regret later!
Lvl 1-20: {Ur Objectives: - Lvl up, Get 2-Shues, Collect Drops, and make Storage box}
First make an Archer character. Choose any Town (I’ll give reference to Temoz).
Hit ‘Q’ and checkout the Quest (Q), this Q takes u around the whole town and gets u acquainted with the NPC. Also u get free Shue pot (Yellow color bottle cost wz 150K approx), Ruby, Topaz, Sapphire (RTS) 1 each and some (sm) scrolls.
Sell the scrolls in the npc and put the shue pot and Ruby, Topaz & Sapphire in the Storage.
Initially buy 100 arrows from Yarmo. Take the Q from TorrBier = Ear of Memora.
Do that Q a no. of times. At every lvl increase u get 6 points.
There r 2 types of Archers viz: Bow archer & Cross Bow Archer
Bow Archer has equal Attack & defence, also the rate of hitting with plane arrows is a little more.
Cross Bow Archer has More attack & less of defence, hit rate is low compared to Bow Archer.
Note: The rate of hitting with Skills is the same for both the ArchersChoose any1 class and increase the Strength and Dexterity accordingly. The Stats can be know from the archer weapons, armor etc.
Put the RTS on the Weapons and Armor to increase their Elemental values (It increases/decreases randomly).
Storagebox the bones shards, stone pieces, scales are required to make storageboxes.
Check the website for the formula for making them (Advance Guide---crafting).
Make as many Storageboxes as possible (around 7 till u r 20).
Collect Ores in the storageboxes (there r 4 types of ores), also collect bones, stones, scales. U can also buy storageboxes for wz 200k to 350k.
Collect all the skills and use them, check the website (a3india.com) for knowing which creep drops them!
At lvl 10 collect atleast 500k (At lvl 10 its difficult) buy urself two Archer Shues.
The Shues have a total of 7 Options (3 Basic –Attack, Defence, Experience and 6 Elemental Attack & Defence of each Element). Try to get a combination with all the 3 basics and all the Elemental Defense!!!. If u get a perfect combination cool!!!. Lvl them up simultaneously (use one shue in Hunting and the other during submitting the Quest).
Do all the Q from Torr Bier. Become lvl 15 at least!
Now u must be having the Flame Arrow lvl-1. Refill and go to Clarb-3 (C3).
At the entrance u will see a monster Cynick ( with 4-hands Brown in colour-Archers just Love him). Use ur Flame arrow or any elemental skill on him. Hit 2 shots and move!. If he touches u, u r dead. Cynick has HP=1000, and critical attack of more than 2.5K so watch out!!!!!!!
Do Quest and Cynick and lvl-up, Quest give U Lore and u need it so don’t miss out on doing sm Q.
Special Drops: Upgrade Jewel (cost wz 1.3 mil but don’t sell it u’ll need them), Degrade
Degrade Jewel (cost wz 350-400K sell them !)
Lvl 20-30: { Ur Objectives: - Lvl up, Collect Drops, and earn wz}Get all the skills by choosing the proper monster Q which will drop that Scroll!!.
Kill the Cynicks.
C3:- U cannot take on the attack of the Hell Yatakale so stay near the enterance, smtimes sm Mages put the Ranger to sleep (Wipnosis) take ur chance and go straight to the end.
U’ll find a lot of archers there, join them.
Code of Conduct for C3: The one who hits the monster first get to kill him (But Might is Right) so watchout!. Say hi to all, maximum chances r that u will get engaged in a conversation. Make friends
Lvl 30-50: {Ur Objectives: - Lvl up, Collect Drops, and earn wz}At 30 get ur self a mercenary.
Tips: Only Holyknight and Archer mercenary giv options to the player and the the merc itself. Hk is good for Defence & Tanking, Archer merc is good for Attack!. Do not use ur merc in C3! Till lvl 50 U can lvlup in C3, every archer does that!
Don’t Quest in carode archers cannot hit multiple targets and the worms will kill U!.
If U have a Mage in ur party go with her!
Lvl 50-60: {Ur Objectives: - Lvl up, Collect Drops, and earn wz, make Ore Crystal, Join a KH}Ask ur friend for enrolling into a KH. Kh r important bcoz these guys will help U (If u get a good KH!!!!!). Alliance r important for giving out free shout to masses!
Till this time U must hav collected a lot of ores (if u followed my instructions that is) combine ores at the Armory (Yarmo) and make a Crystal. To make a Crystal u need 72 ores of any one color.
6 ores = 1 ore piece
4 ore piece = 1 refines ore
3 refined ore = 1 Crystal
1 crystal sells for 1 mil+ but I suggest u collect them. So make or buy more Storage boxes.
At lvl 50 U can Quest in C2 do the ‘Axe of Jataka’ Q from Yarmo. Do not cancel any Quest from Yarmo. Or U can do the Head of dematone from Lunita.
In sm Forum post I read about the chain Q, well that is very long and time consuming.
And once it goes into R3 it will be a nightmare for U!!!! Without Arrowstorm u cannot survive, also the R3 creeps will surround U like hell. So avoid doing that Q or do it till R3 and then quit.
Lvl 60-70: {Ur Objectives: - Lvl up, earn wz, Start the procedure for making Relation with Yarmo}I started doing Q from Yarmo and made relation with him at lvl 90. Take all the Quests from Yarmo , Npc all items to him and DO NOT CANCEL ANY Q.
At 62 u will get Chain Shot the First Multiple hit Skill
(I do not consider piercing arrow multiplehit because it is very difficult to lineup the creeps). Lvl 70-90: {Ur Objectives: - JUMP QUEST & the last choice, earn a lot of wz}
The most important Q. The jump Q can only be done at lvl 70 so don’t miss it!After this Q u will hit straight to 75, if u has a 15% additional xp shue then u’ll hit 76+.
If U happen to know that some double xp Event is on its way then w8 for it. A Jump Quest at double Xp will take u directly to 82!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( Wish I could do that).
This is the last choice for selecting to be xbow or bow (without wasting lore points).
At 72 u get ARROW STORM-1 start rocking!!!!!!!!!!
Now take the Best Q of all R3 Q from Yarmo “Shield of Strength”.
R3 is the best place to earn a lot of wz. The Drops u get r cool and Q Drops are always lying around (except for Tooth!!!!).
At 89 U willl get Arrowstorm-2, go get it!
Lvl 80-90{Ur Objectives: - earn a lot of wz, start collecting G8 stuff, Check ur Lore}At 90 start the R4 Q from …………………Yarmo again “ Hurtz Secret”.
Again a favourite among A3 folks!!! U need to get 2 Hearts and 2 Blood no Hunt counts!!
Just Look around and ull find Q drops lying around. Also u can give out Alliance shouts for xtra drops near u and the once U need!
Till now U should get Relation built with Yarmo ( Ur Q xp will inc from 150K to 165K, lore from 600 to 660 that means U hav 10% rel.).
Start collecting G8 Stuff with Blessing. Blessing will increase Ur success rate of crafting.
Start buying Opal, Peridote, Garnet, and Nerry G store them in a box.
Till this time ur Lore Ideally has to be 200K (which u do not have, remember Cynick!).
Earn Lore: Take the Dark Memora Q from Ellopa – U need to kill 20 Dark Memora and no drops ( I finish this Q in 20 sec my best timing). One Q will give U 300 Lore (Cool!).
So start Spaming it for Lore. Also u will get Sapphire ( I hav already sold 1 Box full of them, Next box is on its way!).
Lvl 90-100: {Ur Objectives: - earn a lot of wz, and Collect Nerry}Again do the R4 Q, Yarmo ko aaur khush karo! .
Collect atleast 30 mil till lvl100. Its for Buying the Early Bird Passive skill, and also for ur G8 set’s options.
Lvl 100-110: { Ur Objectives:- Buy Passive Skills, buy Nerry Gs }
Getting a Super Shue is very important. So keep a target till lvl 120 to make one.
For that start collecting as many Nerrys as possible, use them wisely!!!!
Don’t waste G ( calculate ur nxt shue lvl xp properly).
Till this time u will be broke Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So again Start collecting wz!
Q to do is ………………………..Yarmo again and bonus Cynick!
Take the Hide skill of Cynick Q, remember u hav to have max relation with Yarmo so that U do not destroy ur G8-G9 sets to failure (they r very costly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
