Increasing My Bowmasters Range
Need some help here. Came back from a pretty long Maple break and I want to look at increasing my bowmaster's range. My equips, looking at today's standards....are pitiful. I'll be doing an 11 premium style CS box thing run shortly and will use the proceeds to fund my bowmaster. Finally decided to continue playing my bowmaster just given how much history and memories I have with this character. Just a rough breakdown of my equips:
9% CZak Helm
5 atk Mytic Face Accessory
Three evo rings(max level)
1% dex wedding ring
Marc of Narc(CWKPQ Pendant)
6% dex belt
10% dex shoes
4% dex glasses
9% dex top
2% dex bottom
6% dex cape
10% dex earrings
182 attack bow w/ 4% total overall
3% total overall secondary
10 attack medal
All equips are maxed with star force and some are spell traced/self scrolled.
My range buffed is right below 80k; looking to be more efficient with bossing. Level 150
Hopefully this CS run will be successful, hoping for around 2-3B.
Where's the best place to start for me?
Thank you!

So grinded(it's a word) for a few hours today on my WA an i've decided that's the class I'll be funding, haha. On easy Magnus I barely crack 100k with platter, however with the WA I was doing solid 300-400k's with whatever their hurricane is called. Also the clunkiness of the bowmaster's 4th job mobbing skill is pretty annoying compared to WAs spiral mobbing skill. Faster attack speed if I'm not mistaken too.
I've purchased a Crystal badge for 20 mil and that's all i've done so far. Sold one pema NX item for 100m so not much to work with here.
I'd like to get a Fafnir Bow as my next purchase.

Great guide and thanks for explaining in simple terms

Thanks for the link. I never plan on doing the super hard bosses, so this is actually good to hear.
[quote=megaf6]I got a level 151 Wind Archer which I do enjoy playing, but I was looking at the recent patch notes for KMS and from what I made out of it; WAs got the short end of the stick.
I actually like WAs skills a little bit more; they seem more mobile vs my bowmaster having to re-setup platter if the boss moves....kinda gets old after a while.[/quote]

[quote=megaf6]Kinda late on the skipping premium style boxes. Quick scan of the FM and I made around 1.4-1.8b? Pretty crappy but whatever; I'll just work an hour or two of overtime at work and make up for it.
I plan on training at DiPQ tomorrow during 2x till I cant stand it anymore. I'll look up the Golulx prequests and see what those entail.
Would you recommend upgrading my bow? I was scanning the FM and found a few nice bows for like 200-300m, that'll give me a 30k+ range boost.[/quote]
Since you already made some mesos, I would recommend you going for a fafnir bow and RA top (hold off on the hat/bottom as they are extremely expensive due to a glitch).
Also, if you're open minded about switching jobs, I would recommend Wind Archers over Bowmasters for a lesser funded player. Wind Archers' play style is roughly the same as Bowmaster before they received turret (RED update).

Don't bother with the premium surprise style boxes. Level up to 200 first (maybe using some NX for 2x cards).
Do Gollux prequests and do it daily for coins (easy/normal with your current range isn't unreasonable) then sell the stuff you don't need from that coin shop which could net you around 3~4bil. Find yourself a decent guild and a network of friends to sell gollux service (or service in general eg: epic pots from hot day). You can also use these connections to get yourself on hard magnus runs (everyone benefits since they need 3 people in the map to obtain drops and you get coins for tyrant shoes and possibly tyrant capes for volunteering your time)
While grinding to 200, you're sure to encounter some elite bosses. You can make a decent amount of money from just those (200mil epic pot, 30~40mil css etc)
