need some help with gear

StormShadow_ - Lost City

Hi there, i really need help. What i want is to be able to solo aoe grind for money at later levels since ive seen it done before and also i want to be able to defend myself or at least be able to help out in pk.
http://pwcalc.com/cf21e69542990dee this is the build i have in mind but im new to building archer sooo yh not sure if this is good to be able to survive a group of mobs using charms genie n what not(yes im gonna learn n practise my class before i do this btw XD).
I know the bow is quite badass ive seen a lvl86 archer tick a r9 bm with it in 1shot n it was +3 thats why i want it XD.
Oh yes can you also tell me the price and if i can just manufacture some of it since im lvling the skills ?
Oh yes n i know r9 can 1shot me in this i mean ppl lvl90
tyb:cuteb:pleased

Thunderbow - Momaganon

the bow isnt endgame , just a good investment which can be sold easily.

I have similar gear as a lvl 93 archer , just worse hat and not so much refines but i do just fine.

at lvl 95 you can try the Morai slingshot which provides 45 slaying lvls (the dmg is really good even for a slingshot since attack and slaying lvls stack). TT is far better than FF green. Also the ornaments Sky demon pearl is common in the market and the belt is lvl 80 reward from OHT. By continuing the quests of it , you can unlock the better versions.

good luck

Ah i see then hmm if i get the 8mill for that bow it would be a nice sell later, my i ask how much coins would it cost to make it +4?
And about the TT90 im working on my manufacturing skill so i might be able to make it myself hopefully and im happy to hear that you do just fine with it, that good enough news for me thanks

You can easily obtain +4 with mirages, or at the least +3. For a while I was +4ing a new piece of armor for my barb weekly with 2-300 mirages or so each time. It just takes time and a little patience and luck. You can opt to use a Tisha stone from +3 to +4 if needed, but I do not know how cost effective that would be at your level.

My archer looked about like this at level 90: http://pwcalc.com/b0a3f5cd32b6882a

Broadland is a great weapon and you should out DD most things until level 99 with it when it procs. Stack the Frenzy genie skill on it while 3 sparked for some serious DD output.

Full TT90 is a great alternative if you do not get the r5 gear. I personally used that magic hat because it gives a little bit of p def and some mana for more BoA action. If that is the case I would reccomend a Misty Forest Ring as your other ring due to the +50% accuracy increase. I am a bit of an accuracy ***** tho :x

Now for a few tips:

Don't add more than 4 str per level. It is better to have more dex for damage. Eventually you will be able to wear a Warsoul of Earth without adding any extra strength with just the extra gear +str adds.

And I would also recommend Jones Blessing over O'Malley just for the increased damage output. You should be alright in anything FC related without O'Malley (it didn't exist when I did FC on my archer, so everyone had Jones).

It is also worth looking into your end game strategy for future upgrades as you near 100 (decision between r8/tt99/Lunar/etc).

I don't think archers do well as solo AOE grinders. I know there is that vid of asterelle in Map 3 but that doesn't apply to open world grinding. And I think the rumors of drops being reduced when using AOE skills are true just from my own experience.

item drops have nothing to do with skill use.
