The skill point builds are probably the most controversial in the whole game,
and the most easy to mess up. Keep in mind if you do mess up, it's not the end
of the world, so don't worry about it too much. If you think it's too drastic,
post it on the board, and it'll usually be cleared up. Either way, remember
it's a game. If you mess something up at level 20, it's easier to fix than if
you mess something up at level 60. Also make a decision before you advance to
be a hunter whether or not you're going Final Attack (FA from here on out) or
not, as the builds are different. You can't just decide one day to go FA, and
one day decide not to, as it messes up you're whole job advance. There's also a
nasty rumor that FA can be controlled by jump shooting, but sadly this isn't
true, and there is no way to control FA, so don't think you can train by jump
shooting without FA.

Level 30: +3 into Blessing of the Amazon (*)
* For the last 9 points I choose Blessing of the Amazon because it added
accuracy. For an archer this may seem stupid, but at these low levels it helps
a bit. However, you can put these last 9 points into Arrow Blow or even Focus
if you decide Blessing of the Amazon just isn't awesome enough.

We, you're level 30, you've got your Ryden, and you're ready to go see Helena
again, and tell her that you're cooler now, and you're Ryden's sexier than her.
So go see her, and tempt her body by dropping your Ryden in front of her. Only
don't. Because silly mages come in and try to steal it with their tele hacks
which they somehow learned from that really old guy. Anyways, make the
advancement and you'll get a new book. Yay. Remember when I told you to choose
between FA and no-FA? Well, this is where it makes a difference. So if you
haven't chosen already, do so now.

The Non-FA build is kind of boring at the end, and even has you max a first job
skill. Now, it’s really up to you if you really are gonna max it or not. The
Soul Arrow/Bow Booster at the end helps you save some more pots, and when you
max bow booster, it’ll end at 200 seconds while Soul Arrow will end at 210
seconds, so you can recast them both without wasting mp or worrying about
wasting it by recasting it.
* You'll notice that when you get to 19 mastery, from 19 to 20, it only gives
you 1 accuracy. Since archers have unlimited accuracy, you might want to leave
it at 19 and be one step ahead of the game. However, since you're not going FA,
you'll have enough points anyway, so put either you can put it in there later,
or you can put it into arrow blow to have 2 points into arrow blow, instead of
1.
** From level 63, since you're not going FA, you really have nothing to do. I
choose to max Focus, however, you can max Soul Arrow and Bow Booster if you
don't go Focus, if you so choose. It's your decision, however, more
avoidability _can_ save you some money on pots.
*** There’s really no other skills to put this in, so you can choose to throw
points into anything. Be it Blessing of Amazon, Soul Arrow, or even Arrow Blow
for fun. Just don’t throw them into Final Attack...That’d be bad.
