| Ragnarok Online PvM/PvE build guide for Windhawk. Specifically tailored for MuhRO. Might not work for other servers. Work in Progress |
By the time I'm writing this guide 19th July 2023, MuhRO doesn't have Skill Queue. This means your distance to the server MATTERS for your skill spam rate.
Things that affects spam rate:
- 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.
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)
Sharp Shooting (Early Windhawk)
 Sharp Shooting Parameters
|
Required for Maximum Potential |
|---|---|
| Fixed Cast Time (FCT) | -0.5sec |
| After Cast Delay Reduction (ACDR) | 72% |
| Variable Cast Time (VCT) | The closer to Instant Cast the better |
| Critical Rate Required | 50 + Target's Crit Shield |
This is the first choke point of being Windhawk. The transition towards Crescive Bolt will require you to have -1.0 FCT. Since getting 
Cast Stone (Garment) (25067) for the -0.5FCT is 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.
| Equipment Name | Position How to Get |
Note |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Weapon 10x |
Really good starting bow, available at Lv100. Use it till you can afford a better one.
DO NOT CRAFT |
 Advanced Paradise Cap (400139)
|
Head |
The HP and SP Leech is actually quite good. A cheaper alternative of  Rideword Hat [1] (5208) .
|
 Grace Sharp Suit [1] (450090)
|
Armor |
Getting Grace Set should be your top priority after getting to Lv150. The combo effect is really strong. |
 Grace Attack Manteau [1] (480018)
|
Garment |
Mainly just to get the combo effect. |
 Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020)
|
Shoes |
Really affordable -0.5FCT. Definitely neeeded to spam Sharp Shooting |
 Grace Attack Ring [1] (490019)
|
Accessories (Right) |
You can use any accesory on your left. |
 Ranger Advanced Paradise Shadow Weapon (24708)
|
Shadow Gears |
A really strong shadow gears set that will last you for so long. Just rent it and do NOT buy. |
Entry Crescive Bolt
 Crescive Bolt Parameters
|
Required for Maximum Potential |
|---|---|
| Fixed Cast Time (FCT) | -1.0sec |
| After Cast Delay Reduction (ACDR) | 50% |
| Variable Cast Time (VCT) | The closer to Instant Cast the better |
| Critical Rate Required | 100 + Target's Crit Shield |
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 Cast Stone (Garment) (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.
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.
| Equipment Name | Position How to Get |
Enchants & Card | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
|
+11 |
Weapon |
Can even go without enchant. 2x  Polluted Wander Man Card (27361)
|
Stormus (One of our end game Windhawk): OSAD combo is really affordable and strong set for beginners. Beginners should be able to farm this (Rudus F2) even with Eden Gears + Unlimit. DO NOT CRAFT |
|
+11 |
Weapon |
2x Polluted Wander Man Card (27361)
|
Illusion Hunter Bow is a decent bow that I personally started with, cause I didn't know Virtual Bow-OSAD existed and is that affordable. |

+11 |
Head OS / OS-LT Headgears |
 Abysmal King Dramoh Card (300150)
|
Ignis Cap-LT combo with Virtual Bow-OSAD
The HP and SP Leech is better than Celestial Lux Crown prolly only worth using if you happen to find cheap |
 Sealed Chain (410093) or  Sealed Chain [1] (410094)
|
Middle Headgear |
none | Quite affordable yet really strong combo that will last you till end game. |

| Sinful / Brilliant Accessory | Accessories |
Any enchants that you think useful for farming. | Mandatory -0.3sec FCT if worn together as combo. |
Mid Game Crescive Bolt
This part is actually kinda not recommended to make. It serves as a stepping stone before getting to the real end-game build. If you think you can skip some gears listed down below or using the lower grade version e.g. [D] instead of [C], without actually impacting your farming sessions, then feel free to skip. I personally used these gears to make my farming sessions smoother. If you don't need the extra damage, just save up for the next tier.
| Equipment Name | Position How to Get |
Enchants & Card | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
|
+11 [C] Thanatos Bow-AD |
Weapon |
2x Polluted Wander Man Card (27361)
|
|
| +11 [C] Thanatos Helmet-LT | Head |
Abysmal King Dramoh Card (300150)
|
|
| Vicious Mind Aura | Lower Headgear |
none | |
| +11 Gray Wolf (Breeze Shooting, ACDR, Shooter2) | Armor |
|
|
| +11 Convertible Critical Wing or
+10 Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] |
Garment |
|
Probably can just skip to Pirate Captain's Coat if you think you don't need new garment.
Placeholder:
+10 FWM&VMA is about 2.9% stronger in terms of damage compared to +11 Convertible Critical Wing&Bondage Necklace, but you will gain 10CRIT with Convertible and another 3CRIT from Bondage Necklace. Good alternative if you need CRIT rate |
| +11 [C] Hero Boots-LT (Will of Sharpshooter, Sharp, DEX) | Shoes |
|
Mandatory -0.8sec FCT |
| Automatic Accessory | Accessories |
||
| Hero's Badge (Dexterity/Sharp/DEX) | Accessories
|
End Game Crescive Bolt
Current best in slot gears for non-MVP user based on Episode 19.
POW enchants if planning to share gear with other classes, CON if only playing Windhawk (?)
Not confirmed if CON actually gives higher damage than POW.
| Equipment Name | Position How to Get |
Enchants & Card | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
|
+12 [A] Dim Bow (Physical, CB, CB) |
Weapon |
Polluted Wander Man Card (27361)
|
---- |
| +12 Temporal Circlet Ranger (Acute5, JewelLuk3, LUK/DEX) | Head |
||
| +12 Nebula Suit of Creative (Creative, Ranged Physical/Sharp, any) | Armor |
|
Ranged enchant was said to deal higher damage > Sharp (based on Leaf) |
| +14 [A] Pirate Captain's Coat | Garment |
|
|
| +12 [A] Ice Rune Boots | Shoes |
|
Mandatory -1.0sec FCT |
| Wolf Accessories with Crit | Accessories |
If you need Crit Rate |
Shadow Gears
No more eden shadow gears? I got you covered (based on priority, make the one on top first, slowly walk down to bottom). I still didn't try out the Master Shadow Gears, so I'm not sure if those are better.
If you plan on min maxing the enchants I guess POW > CON > CRT would be the way.
| Name | Slot
How To Get |
Note |
|---|---|---|
+9  Full Penetration Shadow Earring (24661)
|
Accessory (Right)
Shadow Gear |
Full Penetration combo should be the first priority cause having 100% DEF bypass is really important for general players without  [MVP] Thanatos Card (4399) .
Monsters like Grote in Nifl Dun F2 has 456 DEF. Which translates to -45% Damage for someone with 0% DEF Bypass. |
+9  Full Penetration Shadow Pendant (24662)
|
Acessory (Left)
Shadow Gear | |
+9  Separate Reload Shadow Shield (24746)
|
Shield
Shadow Gear |
The extra 9% ACDR is really nice to have while only occupying 1 slot. |
+9  Infinity Shadow Weapon (24386)
|
Weapon
Shadow Gear |
Depending if you need ACDR more or farming Large monsters more you can put this shadow gear at higher priority than the reload. |
+10  Maximum Mammoth Shadow Armor (24679)
|
Armor
Shadow Gear |
The only shadow gears I think "worth" getting to +10 due to the 12% to all elements bonus.
The reason I prefer +10 Max Mammoth Shadow Armor, instead of having the Max Mammoth Set on accessory slot, is because the unupgraded version of Mammoth Shadow Armor gives HUGE CRIT. It will make things easier to get the 140 CRIT just by having the non upgraded version. |
+10  Maximum Mammoth Shadow Shoes (24680)
|
Shoes
Shadow Gear |
