A Windhawk's Journey by Meer: Difference between revisions

|style="text-align:center;| This is my personal journey while playing Windhawk in MuhRO. While it supposed to be helping you on several spots, it is not meant to be something you just blindly follow. [https://discord.gg/PzkCSdHAF8 If you are unsure about something make sure to ask in #archer MuhCord.]

# Hurt Locker

# Loq

# dmr ''Vague''

# Set D

# Bullet

These both skills are self-explanatory, incease your attack range and DEX per Level.

| Incease your AGI and DEX by certain % amount. This skill is super helpful even at end game.

| Good ''single-target'' skill for  beginning.

| Good ''AoE-skill'' (Area of Effect) which allow you hit multiple monsters at a time for the purpose of leveling.

| Increase Flee-Rate and Moving Speed to you and your party member, really helpful skill to move faster.

| Huge boost to Hit, Damage, and Critical Rate. This skill is a must to be spammed when you are fighting anything.

| Immobilize monsters, if being stepped on. Increase your survivability, and make your Potion usage even lower, cause you can kill the monsters while they are unable to reach you.

| Allowing your falcon to attack. Usually helpful in cases where you have to kill monsters that only take "1" damage, cause ''Auto-''Blitz Beat gonna hit them multiple time, while you are auto attacking.

| ''Single-target type'' skill that does '''NOT''' crit, but have 12 cells-range. '''NOT META.'''

| Allowing you to stay "hidden" while moving and increasing your damage the longer you are in Camouflage. Really useful in places with no Boss / Demon / Insect Monsters.

| One of your best skill. HUGE boost to your damage. Make sure to stay alive as long as possible.

| Coupled with Wind Walk, this skill will allow you to move super fast anywhere you want to go.

| Allowing your Warg to attack, and increase the damage too. Coupled with {{#skill:2245|skill=Tooth of Warg}}, it will boost the damage even higher.

| Worth getting to at least Lv.1 to get the +220 SP bonus.

|The current meta '''''single-target''''' skill. If {{#skill:2236|skill=Aimed Bolt}} and {{#skill:382}} getting married, this will be the kid. Brutally strong and '''DOES''' Critical Damage. Sadly only 9 cells-range.

| style="text-align: center;" |+10 (3 Targets)

|The 4th's Job version of Arrow Storm. '''ONLY CRIT''' if  {{#skill:5328}} is up. Kinda useful to restore AP against multiple targets.

| style="text-align: center;" |+?

|Use this on the boss after using {{#skill:5328}} to quickly regain your AP back to 200. Not really useful for farming purpose.

| style="text-align: center;" |-200

|The 4th's Job version of {{#skill:5002|skill=Unlimit}}. It allows your {{#skill:5330}} to crit and increases {{#skill:5334}} damage. If used properly without dying, you will have 100% {{#skill:5002|skill=Unlimit}} uptime by alternating between the two.

|Allows you to have Hawk together with Warg.

|Especially useful to kill Plant-Type target or the Dead Soul in [[Constellation Tower]].

|Increases {{#skill:5326}}'s chance to proc.

This is the first choke point of being Windhawk. The transition towards Crescive Bolt will require you to have -1.0 FCT. {{#item:25067}} is mandatory to get that FCT reduction.

{{#item:24695|Shoes}} <br>

{{#item:24696|Earring}} <br>

{{#item:24697|Pendant}} <br>

----e.g. I put lower INT and give some to STR so I can carry more stuffs when farming without keeping teleporting back to town.

Despite having unlocked Crescive Bolt early on, most beginner Windhawk will probably never get to play this build until later on. Mainly cause this build requires you to have -'''1sec FCT and 50% ACDR'''.  Getting the -0.5sec FCT {{#item:25067}} is really easy now. So I suggest on buying that costume stone while slowly building the item down below.

Grace Set is way too good of a combo to break. This means if you have +11 Auto Leg A, but not having the Auto Armor / Engine Wing B, you gonna have a really terrible experience. This is caused by Grace Set giving good bonuses but only as a combo, if you break the combo, you will lose tons of damage and in the end switching to Automatic Set is actually a worse decision. I recently talked to a newbie who read this guide, and apparently as a field farmer he seemed to be fine farming with Grace Set for quite long. If you belong to this group of people who love to field farm instead of instance farming, I think you should just buy {{#item:25067}} and get the OSAD Bow + Ignis LT and after that try push straight to Episode 18 Quests and see if you can farm Gray Wolf Gears decently.

[[File:Grade Enhancing.png|thumb|Etherium spent to refine items from +0 to +10 from 17x attempts. Before the update on 27th July +9 > +10 = 18% compared to now 25%.]]

The best way, I personally got advised, to refine your item from +0 to +10 during [[Grade Enhancing]] is just to raw refine with Etherium or Etheorodecon. This is cause '''''MuhRO actually have enhanced refinement rate compared to kRO''''' even using the normal ores. In average I spent 700 ores to refine an item form +0 to +10 only using Etherium. The table on the right side shows the ores spent from +0 > +10 before the update on 27th July (+9 > +10 = 18% chance compared to now after the update 25%). You can start using the hammer from +10 to +11. I still gonna keep repeating this, '''only grade your item if you really need the extra damage to farm your next items.''' This is cause by the time I'm writing this (21st July), my excel sheet indicates that I just spent 200m (Elunium, Etel Dust and refining cost) to refine an item from +0 to +10 (1018 Etherium spent). If in average we spend 700x (140m) to do a grading cycle, and on this section if you do all the grading it will be 10+ grading cycles to be done. That amount of zeny investment for items, that you will not use anymore at end game, seems kinda wasteful in my opinion. So '''''only grade the item if you really need the extra damage for your specific farming spot.'''''  

|Tomb of Remorse is one of the end game instance. I suggest try farming the mobs for Minneas with alt windhawk chars and leave the instance without fighting the first MVP, if you are not geared enough to solo it. Clearing the whole instance + the quests with a 12 man party is also possible. You will need Minneas to enchant your helm.

| rowspan="2" |I still didn't make the Bow yet as of writing this, but my guess is {{#item:19484}} would only be better if paired with the bow. Using the circlet with {{#item:700029}} probably gonna reduce your damage, cause you are breaking the combo. ''Status: tested and confirmed by Meer.''

|This piece of gear is '''NOT''' the best in slot anymore.

Despite not having ACDR enchant, this armor piece sharply increase your damage. You might want to recalculate your ACDR.

Recommended to just buy from someone who farms CT.  

| {{#item:300426}}

| +12 {{#item:480174}} is less than 1% worse than the +11 Ice Rune Manteau (POW3,DEX4) but you have 5% more ACDR with it. A good reason to make {{#item:480232}} is probably when you are farming the mob which matches your elemental specific enchant and have a way to compensate the 5% ACDR loss. ''Status: Tested and confirmed by (dmr Vague)''

* {{#item:310922}}

From my internal test I did with my guildie, {{#item:310922}} seems to be always superior. A guildie of mine even rerolled his {{#item:310928}}to POW. ''Status: Tested and confirmed by me and dmr (Vague)''

The 3rd slot enchant (Tenacity or Agilty of Varmundt) can be upgraded.

''(Thx to dmr for mentioning this)''

----From my internal test I did with my guildie, {{#item:310922}} seems to be always superior. ''Status: Tested and confirmed by me and dmr (Vague)''

----<span style="color:#027514">Stormus: <br>{{#item:311968}} is the best option, but if you were making this and got {{#item:311963}}  during the enchantment process, don't reroll it. It's good enough.</span>

|'''IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO MAKE THIS ANYMORE especially if you are not using the Nebula Suit. I just put this here just in case someone can get it for cheap price.'''

----Combo with {{#item:450172}}. Giving in total +16 CRIT Rate, 42% Critical Damage, 8 P.ATK and 2 CRT.

 

No more eden shadow gears? I got you covered (based on priority, make the one on top first, slowly walk down to bottom). '''I have really good hunch about these Master Shadow Gears. Sadly can't get my hand on those yet. I heard people talking about how crazy expensive it is to enchant.'''

If you plan on min maxing the enchants I guess CRT > POW > CON would be the way.

<span style="color:#027514">Set R: <br> Get all shadow gears to +10 and get +5 C.Rate and Crit Damage% enchants on each piece!</span>

|If you don't need the extra 9% ACDR from {{#item:24746}}you can go for this shadow gears for the +10 Critical, 8% ASPD and some Crit Damage %.

#FPS. make sure to have 60fps or higher (by buying high refresh rate monitor)

# ACDR. Do you meet the required ACDR?

# ASPD. Do you have enough ASPD? e.g. 193 for Sharp Shooting

# Ping. How far are you to france?

#* Low ping (50ms) and high ping (200m) tend to have high spam rate.

#* Medium (120~150ms) and very high ping (250ms+) will grant you terrible spam rate.

#* If increasing ACDR doesn't give you higher spam rate, switch it out for damage.
