    Clerics fly for free, that's true while archers waste mana on flying. What you can do is to get a piece of armor with a +2 or more mp regen. I have a cape with +2 mp regen and I do not use up any mana at all to fly now.

    Only until level 30, do you consume mana to fly. Once you hit level 30, like every other class, you'll get an "unrestricted aerocraft" which in the case of elves is a new pair of wings (the brown wings). At level 30, everyone flies for free, including archers. We just get to fly ealier than other classes but pay a price for it till then.

    Flight Mastery does not work for brown wings so every player who knows that will not use the brown wings but they'll keep using the white ones.

    if your an archer get your magic to 20 and you fly for free. this may seem like a waist of points but your mana regenerates much faster between fights so you can spam your skill shots and kill monsters before they reach you as opposed to puling with 3 skills and needing to auto shoot for 3 minutes while your spamming your health potions trying to keep yourself alive. In short go magic at low levels til your at 20 then you can go back to Dex with minor str for your gear.

    Not "every" player. I know this, and do not use my white wings. I really don't care about an extra meter/second.

    It's handy..but at the cost of not being able to fly for more than a few minutes, or not being able to fly after spamming skills, I choose not to use white wings anymore. I already spend enough points in vit and str (light armor build tho) I don't really see the need to add 15 points into int, just to fly for free, when I can do so with the eagle wings.

    I play the game during my free time anyway, so not like I need to be in a rush to get anywhere, at any cost possible . =X

    Besides, his/her question was if archers are limited to flight time, as per mana. The answer IS no, regardless if you find it logical or not, based on speed. At level 30, we can fly forever, which is what he/she asked.

    Sounds good, but where did you get that cape? Was it a random bonus that you picked up on the item, a gem, or was there a way to specifically get yourself 2mp1?

    I dropped it from the fb19 boss, however any mob can drop such an item. It can also be manufectured. Best is to check the auction house every now and then. Purchased a +2 MP regen glowing war top yesterday so I could buy a cape closer to my lvl.

    O.O it doesn't matter if it's a cape as long as it has +2 mana regen on the equp ex. My Molded armor with +5 hp regen and +3 mp regen.. "lvl 42. Light armor"

    Archer and cleric are 2 completely different classes , no1 is better than the other , for PVP archer starts with more advantages , but cleric is a class every squad needs for BHs FFs TTs etc.

    Archer needs a lot of money to become decent "endgame" but that cash is the same for all the cleric skills, potion use and gear a cleric would need .

    Flight ??? why that would matter , any +2 MP recovery item completely nulifies the wing mana cost , at least when u are out of combat (also u can use eagle wings when u fight and switch to white wings when u fly to a town)


    Attack and survivability , well both start as really squishy classes , and both can deal good damage.

    overall , it comes to personal preference , what u do prefer , 1) PEW PEW 2) Angel choir on background : I SEE THE LIGHT b:chuckle

    Indeed it's like the mind**** I am getting from my Washer which is very far from me. o.O

    Archer is far better imo, tho I wish to master the Cleric. O.O

    Normal Wings hve the same speed but, Archer have a MP drain... can be fixed via a MP recover Tome at later levels. >.> <.< (tis what I am about to do until higher levels)

    The starter wing drain is the same for both classes. It's just that Cleric add points to their Magic stat which increases their mana regen which eliminates the problem for them.

    clerics dont need to add points to their mag stat to eliminate the problem, a cleric regenerates 1 more mana per second than the wings drain from level 1 before you even add any stat points.b:pleased

    the reason clerics 'fly for free' is mana regen is quicker than flying uses it up, my build is 4 dex .5 str .5 mag every level and atm i only loose mana every other second. plan is that once fly for free ill go back yo 9 dex 1str /2lvls as it also has the added bonus of being able to grind longer without resting to recharge mana. so far its working well and not mising 1dex /2 lvl that u would have with a standard dx/str build(str for armour reqs)
    although may do l8r as am still low lvl

    It's a waste of money. An archer needs Str level for needed equipment only and all the rest goes into Dex. An archer is a DD which means Damage. Dex gives you damage. If you add Mag or Vit, you will need to buy a scroll (or scrolls) to reset those stats or you will have a soft hitting archer. A soft hitting archer is a failed archer. Your second half of game will be a failure and you will have wasted a lot of your time playing.
