This is the first choke point of being Windhawk. The transition towards Crescive Bolt will require you to have -1.0 FCT. Since getting {{#item:25067}} for the -0.5FCT is [[Costume_Enchants_(Fashion_Points)#Garment_1st_slot|gacha-based]] in our server, you will have to be patient and slowly farm the next tier equipments. Grace Set will not work with Crescive Bolt.

'''Traits (4th Job Status Build)'''
'''Traits (4th Job Status Build)'''
There are currently TWO builds that are quite popular. I'm not at endgame yet that's why I can't confirm which one is better than the others.
# POW 100 > CRT 100 > CON (rest)
# CON 100 > CRT 90 > POW (rest)


# POW 100 > CRT 100 > CON 35
# CON 100 > CRT 90 > POW 45
The most popular build so far is the first one, netting around 732m per Crescive Bolt meanwhile the 2nd Build is dealing 627m (-14,4% Damage) ''Tested by Meer.''
Despite Crescive Bolt scales on '''CON''', POW and CRT seem to be way more impactful towards its final damage than the CON.

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'''.  Unfortunately in our server the chance of getting the -0.5sec FCT {{#item:25067}} is way too low and if it was available in the market, the price would be insanely expensive (150m+). That's why getting +11 Auto Leg A or +11 Illusion Sprint Mail & Shoes combo  is mandatory to play this build.
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.


Another sad news is, Grace Set is way too good of a combo to break. That 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 Crescive Bolt instead of Sharp Shooting is actually a worse decision.

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.

----The damage gap between {{#item:490135}}and {{#item:490302}} is about 0.03% difference (Stellar Seal won). This is ignoring the last race/boss/normal enchant of the Varmundt Ring.
The test was done this way cause it would resemble the most scenario of farming something that is not related to your enchant. But if you get really good enchant on the Varmundt Ring, it will be way better to farm with it. (Tested by me, Stormus confirmed the same idea.)
