Thanks for the reply and info! Yeah, I was going to pick Falc for r7.
I’ll try the build out after the revamp. I’ve kept most of my older characters to feed team exp level anyway.
Is full dex build good for pvp? If so, then what build would you suggest Tiaa?
@Tiaa
And the other experienced archers…
I’m finally rank 8. I went Mergen in the end. My build is: Ar2, Rg1, Sc3, Falc1, Mergen1
I have 3 questions:
1 - Which budget bow should I get? Khastis or Light Gorithos?
2 - Which gems should I use, considering i’m poor and dont have top notch equipment
3 - I’m suffering a lot with high hp monsters. What can I do to ease my pain? My whole rotation (buff, circling, flare shot, all mergen skills, barrage and multi shot) most times dont kill the lvl 260+ mobs.
Atributes are all lvl 30, I’m using the event Maga Bow
Anything I’m doing wrong?
Grats on reaching rank8
-
Light Gorithos is the current new budget. And should still be relevant after revamp for budget. Otherwise you will need to wait until after revamp for the 270 or 315 white bow for budget (no gem slot for these white bows).
-
Lv5 or Lv6 Red gems or Yellow gems. Red gems will stay relevant after revamp as budget.

It is normal. Most classes also have a really hard time solo with rank8 maps mobs when unfund. Try to find a party to grind/ quest at rank8 maps. These rank8 map mobs will be nerf greatly when the revamp comes, making it much easier to solo quest.
For now, if you prefer to solo, use Full Draw to link 2 mobs, and kill mobs 2 by 2 (learn full draw defense reduction attribute. DO NOT learn more than 2 levels of full draw knockback attribute as it will send the mob flying away).
About mergen skills, Homing arrow can be used freely after cirlcing, so long the mobs are in the area of effect of circling. Triple Arrow needs the mobs to be crowded together to be more effective. Arrow Rain don’t help much in mobbing but do great when vs boss.
Building up physical and magic defense are more important (in current version of tos) when facing rank8 mobs. Get grynas top and pants and slot them with yellow gems, and slot blue gems into your boots, should help in survivability against rank8 map mobs.
Thanks again for the answer.
I’ll make my shoping list…even beeing budget itens, they re expensive for me.
I have a lvl 322 Dragoon too. I’ll try to farm some silver with him too.
I still have to learn to properly link mobs with full draw…and I already bought too much atribute lvls for it…damn…
hahas np. :))
I see. Hmm, try to get Light gorithos and slot with red gems first. So you can start farming 170. You can also rush 290 for silvers and sell some saalus blessed shards for silvers too. These may help to jump start your gearing process.
The most important equip will still be your weapon first. If you find that you are not dying too much with rank8 mobs, then perhaps no need to invest in armors yet.
On Silute Khasti Bow is a lot cheaper than Light Gorithos…is it a viable choice?
Khasti is still a viable choice if you only plan to use the bow for leveling.
Well, my goal is farming…
In Silute Khasti bow is 1/4 of the Gorithos price…thats my only concern.
Also, theres a very cheap one, the Hunting Wreech Bow (305-458 atk)
Comparing to the Light Gorithos (344-516 atk), its like 10-15% less dmg.
But this bow is almost free (10k on Silute). The Gorithos is average 1,2kk.
Both can be sloted with 3 gems.
I know 1kk is nothing for higher lvl players, but I have like 3kk right now, lol. So i’m saving what I can.
I wonder if the dmg difference will be great after putting the gems.
Anyone care to help me?
After the dungeon patch from 145-170, it is really time consuming if you farm 170 without any investment. You may want to stick to 140 (previously 130) dun farming if you are on a lower budget. You can still farm at 170, but it is really time consuming.
I also recommend to plan forward for the upcoming revamp.
This is khasti

This is hunting wreech
https://tos-kr.neet.tv/items/162136
This is light goritos

Hunting wreech and light gorithos both are fine after revamp IF you slot with red gems. But light gorithos is better as of current before the patch. Khasti has already fallen off being a viable budget when dungeon level patch is implemented making 170 mobs having more hp.
You can just try enter 170 and farm with the event maga bow to gauge your clear speed.
And also not to forget the new white bows.
The new white bows are the best budget.
err, is 315white bow obtainable from merchant npc?
Yup. Only the white 270 & 315 new “hg” equips are purchasable from npc. But no socket.
Wow…the white ones are very good now. If I knew how much time until the update I would wait.
And considering Light Gorithos and the Hunting Wreech are both the same in the patch (the only diference being the aditional stats and lvl which are irrelevant) I’d say Light Gorithos will fall.
I Guess i’ll stay with the Hunting Wreech for now and save some money. I think 3 lvl5 gems for now will save me some money, as I dont want to lose a lvl 6 gem.
Makes any sense?
Hope this can solve your silver problem
I tried that yesterday. Took me almost one hour with my lvl 320 catagoon, even with permanent Rush.
IN the end I got 60k from the quest reward. Not worthy the time
60k? i predict you solo’ed it, right?
if you inserted only 10 crystal, you can get max around 55k silver
but if you inserted 13 crystal (which only possible with 4man party), each of you will get 236k silver
I did it solo… No one wants to do it on Silute
even i underestimated it at first, scout3 can get 990k in under 1 hour, seeing 236k silver seems very small. But when i do it at least twice per day it gives much more silver than dg 170.
Any good build for soloing/farming after new patch?
wow, i did not know about that, ty.
i tried searching for it on the main cities npc’s but did not find any of it
did they really come to itos? could you tell us where they’re sold?
