    Great job Derrick! You should add my abbreviations guide as a reference so if any new archers need some updating on other terms, they could study on that as well :)

    If you want to get 100 int without adding any int base then you will have to make another character to make mesos first (I hear bishop is good for that) and for wearing int gear and using ap resets, use the int gear as much as you can as soon as you are able to. The earlier the better, and ap resets can be used whenever to wash after 2nd job as long as you have the mp for it. Doesn't matter when you do it other than making sure it's after 2nd job.

    I was planning on saving up NX and do all the washes in one sit at lv 100ish. I guess making a farming character is the way to go.

    Thanks sir.

    yep as Franco said, it's best to have another character (preferably a bishop although other characters can work too; I had a dark knight before making my marksmen) if you want to get to 100 int with equips only

    If you want to start as an MM you'd most likely want points into INT; fryberfryber can probably help you out with that

    HP washing is indeed a flawed mechanic but it's what this server stuck with from the start so it is what it is now

    If you need any more detailed advice you can inbox me.

    I was thinking more towards a F/P which I read don't need funds to grind at 3rd job. I think that's pretty convenient in my case. Glad to hear that you didn't start as a MM, makes me feel I'm not that lost :p

    To the best of my knowledge, F/P grinds the fastest basically out of all mages.
    It's cheap in terms of gear since you require none, but it's expensive in terms of potion usage since you need to poison high level mobs.

    you'll be fine, level 30 is really early.
    What are your goals?
    Do you want to do horntail by level 160?
    I presume you're new as well please let me know if I'm wrong :)

    I am a huntress, lv 55. I've inly hp washed a few times, and since summer events ended and my equips expired I don't even have the int equips to reach 10 int

    I don't play hardcore but I was hoping to be able to experience late game content anyway without having to make a new char. I don't know how to get my hands on good int gear, I don't have a lot of mesos. My best advantage is that I vote more days than I play. Should I bother trying to wash or is it gonna be enough of a hassle that I might as well make a new chat once I reach late-game? Is there any hope for me doc?

    Definitely,

    I've had a few friends join this year that didn't know about washing until level 80,

    What's not really described here is you could always just .... put points into HP without washing it out, or doing a combination of washing and not washing. For example, maybe at level 160 you have 5.1k HP after washing. You could put on some HP gear and put points into HP only for doing horntail.

    Thanks. Well I will try to avoid putting straight into hp particularly this early on, I don't want to lose out on useful dex points, but I guess any little effort counts? Guess I'll try getting some basic int gear for now.

    Do you have the formulas that show how BMs scale with WA better than MMs? Not doubting you. I just don't know much about it.

    i can get the math out, but basically, Marksmen rely on a skill called Snipe, and that skill ALWAYS does 2.3-2.4 million dpm regardless of gear. so marksmen just naturally get a faster power spike but decline the later the game goes on
