Archers who snipes their enemies from long distance with their sharp eyes and quickness of the hand are difficult to deal to.

They are very helpful assistant to fighters and also they are artists who travel and sing the praise of various heroes.

The famous story of hero king who defeated the ancient dragon and the story of a monk who defeated 100 enemies are introduced into people by these archers.

Archers use bows & arrows. Their attacks are ranged and long distance. Their skills shoot elemental arrows, buff themselves, and stops enemies. Sniper have high damage and are often called the best PvP class. Beast Masters call animals to help them fight.

[edit] Stat Builds

These are merely suggested builds.

You only need to put points into Dex, Spr, and Int. Str only adds damage if you use the level 7 and below novice weapons. Since archers have a long range go pure Dex for as much damage as possible, and only add points into Spr/Int if you wish to have more defense/hp/mp, but because of the long range again Spr isn't needed. Using mana potions instead of adding points into Int is better, but since you can't use potions in pvp you might want to add points into int.

The type of build you use will vary depending on what you plan on advancing to for the second job. Archers can become either a Beast Master or a Sniper.

Beast Master

• Full DEX
• 3 DEX, 1 SPR

Sniper

• Full DEX (A pvp build.)
• 3 DEX, 1 SPR

Archers need less SPR then other classes because they attack from a distance and are harder to attack.
