Once you are [[Job Level]] 10, head to the Archer Guild ({{map |id=pay_arche pay_arche}} 145, 164) in the Archer Village north of [[Payon]] and talk to the ''Archer Guildsman'' (payon_in02 64, 71). He changes your job to Archer and rewards you with a Novice Composite Bow [3], and 1 Fire Arrow, Silver Arrow, and Normal Quiver.

==Builds==
== Starter Equipment ==
''See [[Hunter#Builds|Hunter Builds]], [[Dancer#Builds|Dancer Builds]] or [[Bard#Builds|Bard Builds]] for build strategies.''
 
''For builds using a bow's long range as a leveling tactic, refer to [[Leveling_Spots#Archer_.2F_Mage_Sniping_Maps|Sniping Maps]] for some map suggestions on leveling.''
 
=== Stats ===
 
*[[STR]]: The only normal reason to up STR on an Archer is to extend the [[Weight Limit]], allowing for more Potions and [[Arrows]] to be carried. Archers should leave this at 1, but they may find it useful/other uses for it once they become a second class. The other reason to get STR is for a [[Beast Strafing]] build which requires to be Soul Linked.
 
*[[AGI]]: Archers aspiring to be PvM [[Bard]]s or [[Dancer]]s, or who will become [[Hunter]]s will find AGI to nearly as/more important than DEX. AGI increases [[ASPD]], allowing the Archer to attack faster(and before the enemy can close into melee range) and deal more damage over-time. It also enables Archers to [[Flee]] an adversary and more easily evade their attacks.
 
*[[VIT]] is reasonable for players who wish to [[PvP]] or take part in the [[War of Emperium]], as it increases MaxHP and resistance to the common [[stun]] status. Pure [[PvM]] builds do not often invest in VIT.
 
*[[INT]] increases MaxSP, SP recovery, and [[MATK]], and reduces cast delay. It is useful for archers planning on using many active skills, though most builds do not have much room for a large amount of INT. INT is used for the Bard skill [[Magic Strings]] for reducing skill delay. INT also contributes to Falcon damage and trap damage (for hunters). INT becomes more important as a [[Transcendent]] or 3rd class archer, as many active archer skills have long cast times, and some [[Wanderer]]/[[Maestro]] skills require a large amount of SP and [[MATK]].
 
*[[DEX]]: Begin with these stats on a [[Novice]] for most types of Archers. As an Archer, the most important stat will be DEX. It increases [[ASPD]] a little, reduces cast time, increases [[hit]], and it improves [[bow]] and trap damage. For archers hoping to someday become a [[Ranger]], your [[ATK]] also influences your Warg's damage, which is most commonly influenced by a [[bow]] and therefore DEX, though you could conceivably wear a [[dagger]] and have your Warg's damage influenced by STR.


*[[LUK]] is useful if the Archer intends to change into a [[Hunter]]. LUK increases the automatic use of a Falcon's [[Blitz Beat]] and Warg's [[Warg Strike]]. INT also contributes to Falcon damage by increasing its [[ATK]], but Falconers should prioritized it after AGI and LUK. These stats should also not be invested for Falconry until the player is a level 75+ Hunter. LUK also contributes greatly to [[CRIT]], which deals 140% of your regular damage and never misses. To a lesser degree, you also gain [[ATK]], [[MATK]], [[hit]], [[flee]], and [[Perfect Dodge]] from LUK.
The [[Episode One]] quest line gives you good starting equipment for your class and build. Though it is better than the [[Kingdom Guild]] equipment, that set is also an option to start out.

==Equipment==
===From Scratch===
If as a [[Novice]] you begun with a lot of [[DEX]], switch to a [[bow]] as soon as possible. Initially the startup fee will be high because you will have to buy [[arrows]], but this fee decreases overtime. Any kind of upgrade that increases [[ATK]] or [[DEX]] is good for an archer. Keep an eye out for Slotted {{Item |id=2209 Ribbons| }}, {{Item |id=2308 Mantles| }}, {{Item |id=2406 Boots| }}, and {{Item |id=2504 Mufflers| }}, which are all very common and very inexpensive on the market. Your best bet is to buy the strongest [[NPC]] [[bow]] that you can, and begin the [[Eden Group]] quests as soon as each rank becomes available ([[Eden_Group_Equipments_Quests#Level_12-25|Level 12]], [[Eden_Group_Equipments_Quests#Level_26-39|Level 26]], and [[Eden_Group_Equipments_Quests#Level_40-59|Level 40]]) which will net you some decent gear for free. Otherwise, start off by hunting {{monster|id=1020 Mandragoras}} and collecting {{Item |id=905 Stems}}, which are common drops that sell for a comparatively large amount of [[zeny]] to other players. Later, you can move on to hunting {{monster|id=1118 Floras}} for {{Item |id=1032 Maneater Blossom}}, which again sell for large amounts of [[zeny]] and drop quite frequently from an immobile monster. Once you reach level 60 you can hunt {{monster|id=1368 Geographers}} for even {{Item |id=1032 Maneater Blossom}}, and by now you should have enough [[zeny]] to follow the gear recommendations below.
===With Budget===
Buy Wise Goggles or any Wise headgear. The +80 SP helps with Double Strafe, Arrow Shower, and Improve Concentration.
Use upgraded composite bows as soon as you become an archer. At level 18 Archers are able to wield Cross Bows. If you obtain a Cross Bow [3], you have the choice to overupgrade and add cards. Then, switch to Arbalests or Gakkungs as soon as possible (level 33 or whenever funds are available). If you have a decent amount of money, you should be able to find plenty of Gakkungs and Arbalest bows with 2 slots on the market, or you can try slotting your own bows using the slotting NPC. Burning Bows are also an inexpensive bow with high attack power and two slots, though they require level 55 and you may have classed up by that level. Ballistas are similarly high level and tend to be overlooked. These are gears that you can freely add cards to, until you can afford an Orc Archer Bow, arguably the best bow that archer classes can wear until they reach their 3rd class.
For armor and other accessories, look for Tights [1], Bow Thimbles (slotted or unslotted), and Nimble Clips. Any gear that increases DEX tends to fit archers well. However, if you're planning on a build with high ASPD, you may want to look for AGI boosting gear as well. If you have Kafra Points, the Robo Eyes are one of the best headgears for archers as they increase both DEX and ATK %, which there is no alternative for in cards.

Overview

ArcherATK1.jpeg

Archers are experts at long-range combat with Bows and Arrows. Their range gives them several advantages, which includes:

  • The ability to change the element of their weapon quickly by changing their arrow type. This makes Archers able to exploit elemental advantages easily.
  • Accuracy and damage is increased by the same stat (DEX), allowing all attacks to connect and deal a lot of damage.
  • Range enables archers to defeat stationary or slow-moving opponents that are stronger than they are without being hit.

Drawbacks of the Archer class include:

  • Low VIT limits their ability to survive when they are caught up in melee situations.
  • Require Arrows for every attack with a Bow. Running out of arrows in a firefight can make an Archer useless.

Job Changing

Once you are Job Level 10, head to the Archer Guild (pay_arche 145, 164) in the Archer Village north of Payon and talk to the Archer Guildsman (payon_in02 64, 71). He changes your job to Archer and rewards you with a Novice Composite Bow [3], and 1 Fire Arrow, Silver Arrow, and Normal Quiver.

Alternatively, after attaining Job Level 10, advance to an Archer class at Criatura Academy (izlude 125, 257 or 130, 257) in Izlude.

Starter Equipment

The Episode One quest line gives you good starting equipment for your class and build. Though it is better than the Kingdom Guild equipment, that set is also an option to start out.
