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 25067.png 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.

700043.png Paradise Ranger Crossbow (700043)

Weapon

10x 25223.png Eden Coin (25223)

Really good starting bow, available at Lv100. Use it till you can afford a better one.

DO NOT MAKE 18185.png Sharp Star Bow [2] (18185) . It's not worth the price being paid and you better of using something else.

400139.png Advanced Paradise Cap (400139) Head

Eden Gears

The HP and SP Leech is actually quite good. A cheaper alternative of 5208.png Rideword Hat [1] (5208) .
450090.png 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.
480018.png Grace Attack Manteau [1] (480018) Garment

Grace Set

Mainly just to get the combo effect.
470020.png Grace Attack Boots [1] (470020) Shoes

Grace Set

Really affordable -0.5FCT. Definitely neeeded to spam Sharp Shooting
490019.png Grace Attack Ring [1] (490019) Accessories (Right)

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 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 25067.png 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.

+11 Illusion Hunter Bow

Weapon

10x 25223.png Eden Coin (25223)

Illusion Hunter Bow is a decent bow that I started with, while working on Thanatos Bow-AD.

DO NOT MAKE 18185.png Sharp Star Bow [2] (18185) . It's not worth the price being paid and you better of using something else.

Anything, but I used 5208.png Rideword Hat [1] (5208) Head

Eden Gears

The HP and SP Leech is better than 400139.png Advanced Paradise Cap (400139) .

or +11 Illusion Sprint Mail (Dex2/Dex2 or Str2/Str)

Armor

Grace Set

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
