iEatYou611: My Hurricane is lvl 11 right now, will the mastery level stay the same after all the changes?
P.S. Could you please do a 1st-3rd job? I'm not so experienced with my BM. OMG...if I get the chance I will do it (which means I probably will), since you guys are requesting so much. bluebomber24: OMG...if I get the chance I will do it (which means I probably will), since you guys are requesting so much.
Haha  My bad, people just want to be thorough with their Bowmen. Thanks!
1st-3rd builds go a little something like this:
same everything+all new skills are optional. not really, but you get the point. If you follow the "mastery first, attacking skill next, 6 booster/2 sa, then whatever" you're fine. 3rd job: "attacking skill 1st, optional 2nd attacking skill, MB, your choice." A ridiculous amount of skills are opinion/play style based (where double jump comes, where phoenix/frostprey comes, where evasion boost comes, where the 1st job speed skill comes, so on, so forth). If I can't update the guide by this coming weekend, it'll be delayed for a long time, since I'll be swamped with work after that. And yes, if you and Frank didn't have the builds done and critiqued, I'd be screwed for a while. Thank you, very much. HelloForums: so phoenix does not require max silver hawk?
I did not see anything that suggest that Phoenix still needs a requirement but to be honest I am not 100% sure. bluebomber24: I did not see anything that suggest that Phoenix still needs a requirement but to be honest I am not 100% sure.
I have to go off KMS' jump data, but it says for phoenix you need lvl 10 hawk, So build is sound. SP kms data link Just in case.
i belive this is a pretty good guide but there is a great one for 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th on spellynesse's blog here is the link http://spellyness.wordpress.com/bowmaster-guide/

It's actually not all that great due to one fact, it's irrelevant (in 4th) in GMS due to us keeping the party bonus maps. I also disagree with how low priority DJ is on spelly's guide given that it boosts mobility. bombfireman1: i belive this is a pretty good guide but there is a great one for 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th on spellynesse's blog here is the link http://spellyness.wordpress.com/bowmaster-guide/
It's actually pretty bad through and through. 1. splitting skills is pretty bad in all the scenarios that person did it in 2. physical training<mastery 3. 1 strafe sucks 4. concentrate should be lower than inferno in regular training 5. MMS is too low priority more stuff, but I have about 2 mins of spare time. just goes to show and old person can make a skill build, but not everyone should be making an informative one.

SP kms data link Just in case. Thanks. bombfireman1: I can unbiasaly say I disagree. Also, these are just builds not a complete guide. These builds will be given to Chibi. If Chibi agrees with them then they will go in his "guide". Register / login

EDIT 5: What 100% Mastery book should I get? See bottom.
EDIT 4: If you want a condensed version see bottom
EDIT 3: All builds have been SP checked.
EDIT 2: Added 3rd Job build. You guys are slave drivers. I did not count the SP so make sure everything is correct. Also feel free to advise and critique.
EDIT: Added 1st and 2nd job builds. I did not count the SP so make sure everything is correct. Also feel free to advise and critique.
Sup ppl. I thought I would post this so that there would be a lot less questions in the future. However, the purpose of the thread is not really to show people the way; but, instead for posters to point out errors and comment on it. After comments and errors are taken into consideration, I will recommend the build to Chibi to be inputted in the Archer Skill Build Guide when he decides to update it.
Sorry Marksmen, I didn't make a build for you guys because Ascension changed Marksmen style quite a bit, or should I say improved. I rather let someone in that job category make the required build(s) than do it myself.
Ascension Bowmaster Build
Level 120 - 1 Hurricane, 1 Advanced Final Attack, 1 Bow Expertise
Level 121 - 1 Marksmanship, 1 Ultimate Inferno, 1 Spirit Link
Level 122 - 2 SE, 1 Elite Puppet
Level 123~124 - 3 SE (8)
Level 125 - 2 AFA (3) 1 SE (9)
Level 126 - 134 - 3 AFA(30)
Level 135~143 - 3 Expertise (28)
Level 144 - 2 Expertise (30), 1 Hurricane (2)
Level 145~153 - 3 Hurricane (29)
Level 154 - 2 MMS (3), 1 Hurricane (30)
Level 155-156 - 3 MMS (9)
Level 157 - 2 SE (11), 1 MMS (10)
Level 158~164 - 3 SE (30)
Level 165~173 - 3 SL (28)
Level 174 - 2 SL (30), 1 Illusion Step
Level 175~183 - 3 IS (28)
Level 184 - 2 IS (30), 1 ePuppet (2)
Level 185~188 - 3 ePuppet (14)
Level 189 - 2 Player's Choice, 1 ePuppet (15)
Level 190 Onward is player's choice
Notes:
1) A person can choose to get Illusion early for the defense, small boost in damage and coordination with dodge. A player who wants IS early should put a total of 5 points into it. The time of IS will be synchronize with level 9 SE and remains so until close to level 160.
2) Before maxing Illusion Step and Elite Puppet, a player can choose max Maple Warrior. However, the more you train with other people the less beneficial this option would be since many other jobs will have MW already.
3) Based on the current builds, a Bowmaster is unable to max all of the skills given to them. However, it is possible to max all with the +1-2 Skill and/or Decent Combat Orders. These can be obtained through potentials or the Leafre Codex. Using this method, at level 19X a BM could optimally have up to 24 extra SP points to spend on their remaining skills.
Lets go in backwards now, shall we:
First Job Ascension Build
Level 10 - 1 Arrow Blow (1)
Level 11~15 - 3 Archer Mastery (15)
Level 16~19 - 3 Arrow Blow (13)
Level 20 - 2 Arrow Blow (15), 1 Critical Shot (1)
Level 21~26 - 3 Critical Shot (19)
Level 27 - 2 Double Shot, 1 Critical Shot (20)
Level 28~30 - 3 Double Shot (11)
End Results:
Max Everything
11 Double Shot
Notes:
1) This is the Arrow Blow first build. If you want to go Double Shot first, just switch Arrow Blow points with Double Shots'.
2) The reason I belive Archer Mastery should be taken first is because you should be able to breeze through those early levels. As the leveling curve increases, having more range and moving speed first will be more beneficial than having more power first.
Second Job Ascension Build
Level 30 - 1 Iron Arrow/ Arrow Bomb (1)
Level 31 - 1 Bow Mastery (1), 1 Hawk/Eagle (1), 1 Double Jump (1)
Level 32~37 - 3 Mastery (19)
Level 38 - 2 Booster (2), 1 Mastery (20)
Level 39 - 3 Booster (5)
Level 40 - 2 Soul Arrow (2), 1 Booster (6)
Levle 41~46 - 3 IA/Bomb (19)
Level 47 - 2 Final Attack (2), 1 IA/Bomb (20)
Level 48~53 - 3 Final Attack (20)
Level 54~56 - 3 Physical Training (9)
Level 57 - 2 DJ (3), 1 PT (10)
Level 58~59 - 3 DJ (9)
Level 60 - 2 Booster (8), 1 DJ (10)
LLevel 61~66 - 2 Booster (20), 1 SA (8)
Level 67 - 2 SA (10), 1 Hawk/Eagle (2)
Level 68~70 - 3 Hawk/Eagle (11)
End Results:
Max Everything
11 Hawk/Eagle
Notes:
1) SA and Booster arn't synced up as well. I am not going to figure out a combination to fix this.
Ascension Third Job Build - Arrow Rain First
Level 70 – Inferno (1)
Level 71 – 3 MB (3)
Level 72 – 2 MB (5), 1 Arrow Rain (1)
Level 73 - 2 AR/E (3), 1 Phoenix (1)
Level 74~78 - 3 AR (18)
Level 79 - 2 AR (20), 1 Inferno (2)
Level 80~85 - 3 Inferno (20)
Level 86~91 - 3 Concentrate (18)
Level 92 - 2 Con (20), 1 MB (6)
Level 93~95 - 3 MB (15)
Level 96~101 - 3 Phoenix (19)
Level 102 - 2 Dodge (2), 1 Phoenix (20)
Level 103~104 - 3 Dodge (8)
Level 105 - 2 Dodge (10), 1 Puppet (1)
Level 106~109 - 3 Puppet (13)
Level 110 - 2 Puppet (15), Arrow Drain (1)
Level 111~116 ~ 3 Drain (19)
Level 117 - 2 Strafe (2), 1 Drain (20)
Level 118~120 - Strafe (11)
End Results:
Max Everything
11 Strafe
Notes:
1) This is the Arrow Rain first build, see Chibi's guide for reasons for this build. If you want to go Strafe early see Chibi's guide when its updated but DO NOT put more than 11 points in Strafe.
2) 1 Point in Phoenix early is mainly because in this build, you will be standing in one spot and the extra flexible mob damage helps.
3) If you want to go Infenro fist, switch Inferno's SP points with Arrow Rains' at the appropuate level.

K guys, Seeing as how I am lvl 200, I felt I had the responsibility to leave some info on my build for 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th job... I will just list what I ended up maxing.
1st Job; Everything but Double Shot was maxed (DS left at 11). DS and Arrow B. can go hand and hand on preference.
2nd Job; Everything but Silver Hawk was maxed (SH left at 11). SH and Arrow Bomb can go hand and hand on preference.
3rd Job; Everything but Strafe was maxed (Strafe left at 11). Strafe and AR can go hand and hand on preference but AR is meant for mobbin and strafe is pointless at 4th job anyways.
4th Job; MW was left at 29 (only difference between 29 and 30 is 30 secs of more time... Not worth it). Sharp Eyes, Hurricane, Illusion Step, Spirit Link: Phoenix, Advanced Final Attack, Marksmenship, Elite Puppet, Bow Expert and Hero's Will were maxed, Ultimate Infero was left at 4.
I maxed Hero's Will over leaving Ultimate Inferno at 8 because when I am at a boss run, it is a lot more versatile to get Hero's Will asap in case of seduce (other ailments I still think should only be taken care of with all cures).
If anyone has any questions, please lemme know. I was going to make a new thread of this, but Basil set a restriction for people now, because of the constant flaming over this event lol...
Posting here was more suitable, and bomber has inspired me throughout my lvling as a BM, so I think some credit belongs to him and his thread
What Mastery book should I get?
1) Once you reset your SP and apply your points, see what skills are at thier lowest Master Level.
2) Look at the skill build in this thread and see what level you are on.
3) Now the skill that you are close to putting points in AND has the lowest Master Level is the book you should get.
4) If you are 120 or below, I recommend getting AFA skill book.
Examples:
a) At level 144 if I do not have Hurricane at master level 20, I would pick Hurricane 100%, if I believe I won't pass the regular skill books anytime soon.
b) At level 157 if I do not have Spirit Link at master level 20, I would pick Spirit Link 100%, if I believe I won't pass the regular skill books anytime soon.
I hope this makes sense. Don't PM me.
