Why not just play the Xenon? You don't have to fund it. Just play, see if you like it and if you do, get some better stuff for it.

Do you prefer tech shows like Psycho Pass or do you prefer more historical shows like Fate Stay/Night?

imo they are noth fun and i planning on funding both in the future if I have the time. Bowman has lower dps but cheaper to fund, xenon has better dps and benefits from any stat except int, especially all stats. In terms of survivability, xenon can avoid attacks more than bms but bms can use drain arrow for recovering hp if needed. Xenons can spin 4 days, bowmen can shoot lots of arrows (having probably nearest to the highest number of hits per min when compared to other classes) <- This also makes bms a long term option along side others such as kaisers or mercedes.

If the damage is getting you down, I'd suggest xenon. Another pro for xenon is great mobility and fluidity of gameplay. Oh and they can wear both pirate/thief gear so current state of maple economy where thief gear is too pricey, you may want to use pirate gear.

mid range xenon>bm (since star force is op on xenon and cubing for xenon = easy as pie)
high range bm>xenon (more hits per sec)

i'd say main xenon first, get to a range where u can solo most things (you wont be able to solo hellux with a xenon unless you fund like 1000$ worth) and then start funding a 2nd class (i'd recommend NW since it's the cheapest class to boss with) once u have a main bosser, use it to boss and profit, use that profit to fund for a bm.

it's a long and lonely journey but completely doable without spending $

Bowmaster, noclown
Xenon, clown

xenon is pretty strong

bowman is pretty stong too

Bowmaster, funding on %DEX, cheapest stuffs.
Xenon, funding on all %stats, good luck with that.
