Earth Tower (And Meta) Archer Advice?

Hi! So I’m planning to get to endgame (330) and all that jazz, and I want to be able to do Earth Tower very well. I decided to make an Archer and am having a bit of trouble with the path.

So far I’m at Archer 1->Ranger 3-> Either Fletcher 3 or Falconer 3 -> Mergen.
So between the two, which would be a better choice? Fletcher or Falconer? Why?

Also if someone could tell me what equipment I should be using/aiming for along the way I’d appreciate it, as well as STR:DEX Ratio? (120 dex rest str maybe??)

Lastly what gems should I be putting on what item?

Thanks for all the advice!

  1. if u go falconer y cant be mergen btw
  2. Falconer its better than fletcher - mergen why?

Falconer its a half-support class, with circling u have a link, so all skills have more range, and “Aiming” make the mob hitbox bigger, so u can hit mobs a lot easier making AOE skills do much more damage and hit more mobs. for ET u need a lot of “Mob Clear Power” so get a Cryo + Chrono and Falconer C3 make you get that power i think those 2 class are the most important on ET.

Mergen have good damage and all skills are AOE but u cant 1shot mobs (unless u have solmiki, lolo, 2praco weapon +15 and with trascendence) and since u cant oneshot mob u shot all yout burst and the mobs keep alive. for 1rst floor of lolo u need clear 150 mobs on 3 minutes, so u need trow skills quickly.

with falconer all your party member skills become on a good AOE, and with Mergen u need a good weapon to be useful.

What’s a good circle 8 then?

Falconer Circle 3 would be the rank 8 circle.

Oh so uh.

A1->R3->???->Falc3

What do I fill in for that case then?

Archer 2, Ranger 3, Falconer 3

but since u walk about meta. the meta build are

Archer 2, Sapper 3, Falconer 3

or

Archer 2, QS 3, Falconer 3

Well I can’t really reset my build at this point, so I’m probably stuck with Ranger. But okay, thanks. What about gear?

I recommend you to pick Fletcher.
Ranger and Falconer lack synergy.

HG 315 bow (blue or purple) or aufgowle (purple HG w/ 2 slots is as strong as auf bow)

What do you mean “blue or purple” and what does HG stand for? That also implies the aufgowle is better overall than the purple HG? Is it possible to get 3 slots for gems on it?

By blue or purple i meant the item grade(the background color).

Purine pevordimas = purple
Pevordimas = blue

HG stands for Hunting Grounds.
Aufgowle is better than both of the other bows but the purine one(purple) can be stronger if its possible to get 3 or + slots.

But with aufgowle, you can exchange it for pract with other players if you happen to craft an Astra bow(2 pract bow) in the future.

wait calm down xD.

  1. Aufgowle its the 1 Practo weapon, and its better than BLUE 320 Hunting Ground weapon
  2. PURPLE 320 Hunting Ground Weapon its better than Aufgowle
  3. u need to go to Grynas Hills, then go all the way down, then when u hit the wall go to the right and u find a blue orb, thats the first hunting ground, u should go in front line and u be warped to the 2nd floor, then go to the right and up. and u be warped to the 320 HG u should farm a looot and u will get purple or blue cubes, purple cubes gives u purple items and blue gives u blue items
  4. the current weapon rotation its like this

320 Blue HG Weapon > 1 Practo Weapon > 320 Purple HG weapon > 2 Practo Weapon = Lolophanter Weapon > Solmiki.

Correction:
Any HG bow weapon max socket are 2 slot.
Damage wise aufgowle bow still win over HG 315 purple bow. 50 STR from HG purple bow only add +125 Patk

Hmm okay thanks! That helps a lot.

it depends on how geared you are for end game and who you gonna be running with tbh.

this guy solo dps (if u dont count pd as a dps) solmiki to 40F as a sapper2-fletcher3-mergen
