The path of the Archer is probably one of the more difficult in MapleStory. Bows are faster than crossbows, but they also do less damage. At their second job, archers have two options, Hunter or Crossbowman, and will proceed on to Ranger and Sniper respectively. The general perception of archers is somewhat biased however, so do not expect to be picked first in a training party. If you decide to level an archer, you will be rewarded with fancy skills, many bossing opportunities, and very stable damage at Fourth Job. | The path of the Archer is probably one of the more difficult in MapleStory.

An archer's primary and secondary statistics are Dexterity (DEX) and Strength (STR), respectively. Luck and Int, are worthless to archers, so to be one it is ideal to keep them as low as possible. | An archer's primary and secondary statistics are Dexterity (DEX) and Strength (STR), respectively.

Like every class, beginning Archers start out on Maple Island, in front of the Training Camp. There are a number of [[MapleStory/Quests/Maple Island|quests]] to do that serve to orient first time players to the game. Be warned, however, that once the Training Camp is left, it cannot be returned to. After leaving the starting area, players are given free roam on the island. The strongest monster is [[MapleStory/Monsters/Level 1-10#Orange Mushroom|Orange Mushroom]], which can be hazardous. Fortunately, beginners don’t lose EXP when they die. To do some quests, try traveling to [[MapleStory/Towns/Amherst|Amherst]], where simple quests can be fulfilled to get items. Some must-do quests include: | Like every class, beginning Archers start out on Maple Island, in front of the Training Camp.

The first step to being an Archer is already complete! Now that the prospective archer is on Victoria Island, or Vic for short, it’s time to head to the Job Instructor. For Archers, that’s Athena Pierce, in [[MapleStory/Towns/Henesys|Henesys]]. The best way to get to Henesys is via the taxi. In [[MapleStory/Towns/Lith Harbor|Lith Harbor]], the taxi is run by a man in a booth, near the ship. | The first step to being an Archer is already complete!
