Ragnarok Online PvM/PvE build guide for Windhawk. Specifically tailored for MuhRO. Might not work for other servers.

it's still "work in progress"

I still don't have a clue about Ep. 19 stuffs yet btw kek

Sharp Shooting (Early Windhawk)

Parameters	Required
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
Paradise Ranger Crossbow (700043)	Weapon 10x Eden Coin (25223)	Really good starting bow, available at Lv100. Use it till you can afford a better one. DO NOT CRAFT Sharp Star Bow [2] (18185) yourself. It's not worth the price being paid and you better of using something else. Only buy from market if you can afford it.
Advanced Paradise Cap (400139)	Head Eden Gears	The HP and SP Leech is actually quite good. A cheaper alternative of Rideword Hat [1] (5208) .
Grace Sharp Suit [1] (450090)	Armor Grace Set	Getting Grace Set should be your top priority after getting to Lv150. The combo effect is really strong.
Grace Attack Manteau [1] (480018)	Garment Grace Set	Mainly just to get the combo effect.
Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020)	Shoes Grace Set	Really affordable -0.5FCT. Definitely neeeded to spam Sharp Shooting
Grace Attack Ring [1] (490019)	Accessories (Right) Grace Set	You can use any accesory on your left.
Ranger Advanced Paradise Shadow Weapon (24708) Advanced Paradise Shadow Shield (24693) Advanced Paradise Shadow Armor (24694) Advanced Paradise Shadow Shoes (24695) Advanced Paradise Shadow Earring (24696) Advanced Paradise Shadow Pendant (24697)	Shadow Gears Eden 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


Parameters	Required for Maximum Spam Rate
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	Note
+11 Illusion Hunter Bow [2] (18174)	Weapon Illusion of Luanda	Illusion Hunter Bow is a decent bow that I started with, while working on Thanatos Bow-AD. DO NOT CRAFT Sharp Star Bow [2] (18185) yourself. It's not worth the price being paid and you better of using something else. Only buy from market if it's "cheap" e.g. below 25m fully enchanted +11.
Rideword Hat [1] (5208) or +11 Celestial Luxurious Crown [1] (400116)	Head Equipment Crafting	The HP and SP Leech is better than Advanced Paradise Cap (400139) . Celestial Lux Crown prolly only worth using if you happen to find cheap Sharp Star Bow [2] (18185) from market, and you use more Sharp Shooting than Crescive Bolt.
Sealed Chain (410093) or Sealed Chain [1] (410094)	Middle Headgear Niflheim Dungeon	Quite affordable yet really strong combo that will last you till end game.
Bondage Necklace (420076)	Lower Headgear Niflheim Dungeon
+11 Automatic Armor Type A [1] (450127) (Pow/Pow/Delay) or +11 Illusion Sprint Mail [1] (450182) (Dex2/Dex2 or Str2/Str2)	Armor Automatic Equipment (17.2) or Illusion of Twins	not confirmed if Dex2/Dex2 gonna be better than Str2/Str2)
+11 Automatic Engine Wing Type B [1] (480021) (Crit/Crit/Fast)	Garment Automatic Equipment (17.2)	Mainly just to get the combo effect.
+11 Automatic Leg Type A [1] (470022) Automatic Leg A (Firing Shot/Overpower/0.8sec FCT) or +11 Illusion Sprint Shoes [1] (470066) (Dex2/Dex2 or Str2/Str2)	Shoes Automatic Equipment (17.2) or Illusion of Twins	Mandatory -0.8sec FCT or -0.7sec FCT. not confirmed if Dex2/Dex2 gonna be better than Str2/Str2)
Sinful / Brilliant Accessory	Accessories Thanatos Tower Accessories	Mandatory -0.3sec FCT if worn together as combo.

Mid Game Crescive Bolt

+11 [C] Thanatos Helmet-LT

+11 [C] Thanatos Bow-AD

+11 Gray Wolf (Breeze Shooting, ACDR, Shooter2)

+11 Convertible Critical Wing / +10 Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] -> FWM is a good alternative cause I legit have no clue how to farm Convertible Wings, like tons of items I never heard of, while FWM no slot is cheap 5m and Vicious Mind Aura is 3m, just the grind to get it slotted is ultra painful (Bio3 Mobs) but as lv260 it's one shot as Windhawk

+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)

Automatic Accessory

Hero's Badge (Dexterity/Sharp/DEX)

End Game Crescive Bolt

+12 Temporal Circlet Ranger (Acute5, JewelLuk3, LUK/DEX)

Sealed Chain

Bondage Necklace

+12 Nebula Suit of Creative (Creative, Ranged Physical/Sharp, any) Ranged was said to deal higher damage > Sharp (based on Leaf)

+12 [A] Dim Bow (Physical, CB, CB)

+14 [A] Pirate Captain's Coat

+12 [A] Ice Rune Boots

Wolf Accessories with Crit

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.

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.


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
