Archer Skill Guide

Archers have only five skills so it’s not that difficult to plan them. The challenge here is the sequence on when to get it. There are 2 skills initially and you have to unlock the other three. It is advisable to turn into a hunter at job 50 to maximize the Ragnarok archer skills.

Ragnarok Archer Skill Guide - Explanation

Double strafe improves your damage and doubles your attacks. I only put 8 because as your level increases, so does your dex. The damage of your double strafe combined with dex and your bow maybe enough to kill the monsters in just one hit. Get Owl’s Eye 3 just to unlock the Vulture’s Eye. Get level 5 Vulture Eye to increase the range and your hit. This way, you could attack monsters that are stronger than you without comprising your hp. Having the range gives you an advantage of killing the monsters before they get near you. This time, get the maximum Double Strafe because you are now dealing with stronger monsters. Then get the rest of the Owl’s Eye and Vulture’s Eye. Archer’s have low sp so casting Improve Concentration would be such a waste of sp, why not use your sp in casting double strafes. Lastly, get the Arrow Shower, it ay not help as much in leveling but this skills owns in sieges.
