    Copy of my post on your edited thread:
    There's two builds for archers most people use :
    Hybrid : Str and Agi according to equipment, rest into Vit.
    Full dex : Str according to equipment, rest dex.

    I'm partial to the hybrid build, at least so far, but yeah: enough Str to equip light armor (and possibly fist weapons, if you're so inclined), enough Dex to keep up with the demands of your next weapon level, and whatever's left over goes into Vit.

    Basically the only real problem with your build is the 25 Mag, as the only thing it'll do for you is magic defense (you have no magic attacks as an archer - check your skill descriptions, even if they do elemental damage it's all based on physical). You can restart if you want, or just get a Reset Note later on to move some of those points (this will run you between 300k-500k).

    Or, if you absolutely have to, just leave the 25 mag. It adds MP, which is handy when using White wings to fly.

    Yes, my mistake, I forgot about the added MP.

    Not a huge bonus, though, as by Lv22 you have enough MP to fly for quite awhile, having only to use a potion every so often. I would fly around Vibrant Cliffs gathering herbs at that level, rarely even had to use a potion. :P

    lol i like the people in this thread who have no idea what they're talking about trying to give advice

    lvl 22= you MUST have 26 STR

    Magic is a 100% worthless stat for an archer, restat your char.

    Wow, your stats are really messed up. As Envy said, MAG is totally not worthless but useless. And for your armor you need your lvl +4 STR. If you're 22, you will need 26 STR. To restat you will need a lot of money for your lvl, at least 500k. You can either wait for you to get the money or start your character over again.

    My build is similar to yours. I keep hearing the magic is usless to have for an archer. But I think it is because I use my skills which cost ALOT of magic to use, especially my: take aim/whatever element the monster is weak against/knockback/quick shot : combo I really enjoy using.

    I leveled my magic to 20 and stopped there. My vit is 20, my str is 40 and I'v put everything else into dex and will until I need more str. And I am doing good so far and have only need to join a squad 3 times.

    Though this may be more difficult to pull off, I find it fun to shoot tonnes of skills off.

    That much magic should mean that you have great flying endurance.

    So maybe you could be running dragon quests and be doing other activities that involve lots of flying.

    Lvl 30 quest wings don't consume MP. Cash Shop wings don't consume HP. As Mosz said, there are +MP regeneration items. Plus, you can kindly ask a cleric to buff you with the regeneration buff, which lasts 30 mins.

    both build isnt that good, if you want to survive boss aoe in tt1-3 u need a base hp of about 3.5k before barb buff to be safe, which for me.. thats about 8 of those +32 hp gems and few points into vit.

    goal is aim for at least 20% critcal before lvl 89
    b:bye full time shop part time player
