A Windhawk's Journey by Meer
bro it's still "work in progress" lmao
I still don't have a clue about Ep. 19 stuffs yet btw kek
Sharp Shooting (Early Windhawk)
| Parameters | Required for Maximum Spam Rate |
|---|---|
| Fixed Cast Time (FCT) | -0.5sec |
| After Cast Delay Reduction (ACDR) | 72% |
| Variable Cast Time (VCT) | The closer to Instant Cast the better |
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.

 Grace Sharp Suit [1] (450090)

Getting Grace Set should be your top priority after getting to Lv150. The combo effect is really strong. |

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 |
Despite having unlocked Crescive Bolt early on, most beginner Windhawk will probably never get to play this build. 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 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.

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
I still don't have a clue cause I'm not there yet LMAO
+12 Temporal Circlet Ranger (Acute5, JewelLuk3, LUK/DEX)
Sealed Chain
Bondage Necklace
+12 Nebula Suit of Creative (Creative, Ranged Physical/Sharp, any) -> Sharp will make it easier to get the 140 crit, but ranged seemed to deal higher damage (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)
+10 Full Penetration Shadow Earring
+10 Full Penetration Shadow Pendant
+10 Separate Reload Shadow Shield
+10 Mega Blitz Shadow Weapon
+10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Armor
+10 Maximum Mammoth Shadow Shoes
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.
Special Thanks
