This guide will also focus on magical dps Performer, specifically the skill Metallic Fury, I will be focusing on the skill as it is spammable, has a large AoE, can be any element and has low entry requirements.<br>

If you need any direct help, you can most likely find me in the #archer channel on discord or as "Conga lyne MtF" ingame, I might take a while to respond so sending an RODex may be more convenient for both of us.

== Gameplay (Arrows) ==
As stated in the previous section, there aren't too many tricks to be aware of, just be sure to keep your buffs up and you'll be fine.
The only thing to be weary of is what arrow you currently have equipped as it will determine what element Metallic Fury uses.</br>
Some enemies are immune to certain elements, while others may take 200% damage when using the right element against them.</br>
Every enemy has a unique element you'll need to be conscious of which you can check using @mi <monstername> ingame (for example @mi Moonlight Flower), or by searching them on Divine Pride.
For the most part, holy damage is generally effective against almost all creatures except holy element enemies.</br>
I recommend keeping different arrows on your hotbar to quickly swap between them when needed, as you can easily double your damage by using the right arrow or loose 75% of it by using the wrong one.

Combining New Wave Sun Glasses, Sinful Accessories and a +10 Illusion Silver Guard, you can achieve 20% ACD as a trouvere without Poem of Bragi.

When you have more endgame equipment, a Grade 5 magical spell Dim Glacier instrument along with any source of 5% ACD reduction (Mad Bunny-LT enchanting, shadow gear enchanting, etc), you should confidently be able to reach 20% without the need for specialized equipment


After achieving 20% After Cast Delay reduction you're free to pump damage as high as you can, which is exactly what we'll be doing.

To negate this, teleport shadow gear can also provide the skill without taking up an accessory slot.

== Dungeon/Instance Progression ==
As you gain more powerful equipment you'll be able to take on more powerful dungeons and instances.</br>
It can be confusing to know where to start however, but here's my general recommendation for when it's a good idea to start farming a certain dungeon.
The following list does not take elemental bonuses into account, so you'll need to think about that yourself before tackling a certain dungeon if you feel you're ready for it.</br>
With that said, here's my general recommendation for progression:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Location
!Damage Output
!Notable Drops
!Zeny Gained
|-
|GM Events
|0 dps
|Muh Coins
|Varies depending on market price.</br>
As of writing, Muh Coins are valued at 80,000 zeny each.</br>
Be careful not to throw away all your coins when the slot machine appears.
|-
|Geffenia
|100k damage with Metallic Fury
|Almost everything
|Every item earned here is NPC vendable, it is recommended to have a fully leveled haggler pass or have a merchant character you can move your items to before selling for 24% extra zeny per item.</br>
With basic drop rate gear and bubble gum, it should be possible to achieve 50m per hour, however, your zeny/hr depends solely on how fast you can kill monsters.</br>
For this reason, you may not want to use Metallic Fury here and instead use Reverberation as it has a much shorter 0.15s cooldown compared to Metallic Fury's 0.4s cooldown, allowing you to cast it much more often.</br>
Your attack speed with reverberation will depend on how much After Cast Delay reduction you have, if you have fast cast time and fast attack speed, so your equipment will likely differ from your normal gear.
You may want to start with metallic fury until you feel confident you can One Hit kill mobs with Reverberation, at which point continue using reverberation from there.
Here is a useful @nolootid list by Teragram, to be used with @autoloot 100 for Geffenia:</br> @nolootid +2866|+15036|+1974|+2865|+1478|+12020|+509|+1009|+1919|+2864|+12370|+1004|+12736|+932|+5072|+1472|+12373|+7578|+5017|+2407|+2318|+2255|+2125
Remember to have an empty inventory aside from the bare essentials before starting as you will frequently be moving items between inventories while depositing farming loot.
|-
|Dungeon of Oz Floor 2
|5m damage per Metallic Fury
|{{#item:1000405}
|Varies depending on market price.</br>
As of writing, 1500 fragments can be consistently gained per hour with Bubble Gum & Guyak Pudding.</br>
Assuming they're sold at 40,000 zeny each, this can earn 60m zeny per hour
|-
|Challenge Old Glast Heim
|100m dps
|{{#item:25866}}, {{#item:25867}}
|Varies depending on market price.</br>
As of writing, 21 fragments can be consistently gained per run at Challenge 10.</br>
Assuming they're sold at 300,000 zeny each, this can earn 6m zeny per run</br>
Additional item drops such as temporal circlet, spell fragments, temporal gemstones and NPC vendable items like glast horrendous mouth can also add to the zeny per run.</br>
You will need to play the easier tiers to unlock the more difficult levels of the instance with more rewards, so you may need to do a few runs before you can gain the full rewards from this instance.
