    ok most of this is pretty good but where are the 59, 79 and lvl100 skills? my lvl59 and 79 skills were some of the best i got and the lvl 100 skills are also very useful. and i use frost arrow all the time for pvp and pve in pvp its great on bm and barbs cuz of there fast run speed and in pvp u hit the mobs with it then just normal attack tell they get close then knowback and mob is dead. some of this guild is total bs but most is fairly good.

    Actually "Take Aim" is pretty good when u start out it has a 5 sec charge time but u can trigger it early at the cost of lower damage.

    I am thinking about starting an archer but I have a question. Do you need to buy arrows or do you just use mana every attack?

    i agree with the 4 dex 1 str build, 'cause it allows you to wear light armors and weaps appropriate for your level. the vit thing is garbage, archers specialize on killing, and with the right combo mobs wont even get to go near you.. the only thing i got to disagree on is the take aim skill.. it depends on how your weapon progression is, but at level 42, you should buy or craft a 2-3 star ornamented bow, as it is the best weap for the 40's range for me.. i'm lvl 45 wth my archer and i got my take aim maxed, and it does 3k damage on mobs.. all you have to do is

    take aim,
    frost arrow
    attack
    knockback if target gets too close(i dont even get to this part anymore)
    and if target is still alive and so happens to be on melee range, use lightning strike

    and dont forget to but the rank equips at lvl 30, as the +10 dex from those items (combined) is a lot of help.. and i suggest doing some apoc training.. at level 30s, you're gonna need the remedies tat gives 50 hp and mp regen per sec , at lvl 45 you can make a single herb that gives both.. the hp one aint really a necessity, but the mp one is really useful so try to get a handful of the needed herbs as you're grinding.

    I could not agree more :) I am an ex-player from Perfect World-Malaysia server - came here because the MY server is pretty much dead with no new players. Anyway, the skill Take Aim is always worth to upgrade as and when it is available, especially for pve players like myselfb:victory. I start my combo almost similar with the above:-

    take aim>frost arrow>normal atk (2X) > Knockback arrow > normal atk (until mobs die)

    Usually, mobs will die by the time Knockback arrow kicks into action lol :p

    I found Take Aim useless until level 11. I mainly used it as a chi-farm skill by instant casting it, which made its level 1 MP cost much more efficient for the same usage. The skill with its full cast time only became useful to me when level 11 was available. You could argue that at level 10 the damage is a lot on the mob, but really you can probably do the same damage just shooting it in the same amount of time.

    Good guide.
    but i think author takes Aim Low/Stunning Arrow forgranted.

    i use these more than any other skill on my interval archer vs mobs.

    Stun->pew->pew->pew->pew->pew->Dead.
    Aim Low->pew->pew->pew->pew->pew->Dead.

    rarely get hit.
    ofc, they don't work on bosses.

    You can speak to the Archer trainer in Heaven's Tear to help you level skills. He is located around the pool that the Elder at which the Elder is located.

    For combos / macros, look here and search for the word "macros": http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=168582

    How do Combos/Macros work?
    -In your skill window, there's a create button at the bottom. Press it to open the combo maker window. Drag skills or the attack button to the row there, then add the combo when you're done. You can then use that combo as a regular skill - press the button to initiate it.

    NEVER add points into Mag however. It will not be worth it at all.

    Archers have difficulty finding groups for instances.

    Wizards have even more difficulty than archers.

    Sorry, I had a typo.

    Wizards have even more difficulty getting into squads than archers.

    Really depends because on my archer finding squads is relatively easy.For delta i find them preety easy because of BoA,while for nirvy is same being 5 aps.For FC is even easier because both aoe and aps helps.

    This guide is very usefull. Tells you where to start and how evade big mistakes. I play now as second archer. That first I deleted because I did very bad skill setting and spend few points on energy and vitality. At level 34, when I ends my first archer, I miss those points much.
    Now I am sticked to this guide and my efectivnes as an second archer is pretty better. For real. I have second character too. Its Blademaster now at lvl 27. When I try to kill 2lvl higher mob, I lost more live than with my archer. (Mob is not ranged atack). I would glad to remember how important are genies, but thanx to this guide I am definetely better archer.
