This is a little guide to help those bow rogues out there or ppl who
wants to become a bow rogue. This bow rogue guide works great in
woe/pvp. As in MVPing, you work with the hunters. Letting the tankers
tank and you attacking from behind.
BOW THIEF
As we start off as a novice, your stats should be something like this...
1 str
9 agi
1 vit
9 int
9 dex

--------------------------------------------------------

From novice to thief your stats should be something like that :

AGI 30
DEX 30
AGI 40
DEX 40

--------------------------------------------------------
Final Stats for Bow-Thief
--------------------------------------------------------
When you're a thief at job lvl 40, your stats should be :
DEX : 50
AGI : 50
VIT : 20
INT : 10
and the extra points you can just add it anywhere.
The skills are really simple, since you're a bow user, you wont need double attack.
Firstly, I'll talk about the thief's skills before I start telling what skill you should
take as you may wanna go for your own style if you want to.
----------------------------------
Leveling as a Bow-Thief
----------------------------------
Simple, from novice use knife till you're a thief. Save enough money to buy a bow that is 1k and arrows 1z. Now you would say, "Using a dagger with double attack would do more dmg than this crap!". Yes, double atk does do more dmg, only if you're taking the skill. But when you can afford elemental arrows that can be bought from NPCs such as silver and fire, then buy them. Silver is when you are leveling at zombies when your lvl is around 20-30. Fire is at smokies, hodes, martins and etc. Using ele arrows against the monsters weak to it will do the same dmg as double atk and sometimes maybe more cause of high dex.
Okay, here are some monsters that may help you on level for those who have no idea wher to lvl now.
Level 1-20 - Ants Egg, Drops, Picky, egg shell picky and those other cute monsters you can find in morroc desert.
Level 20-30 - Zombies, Spores, Smokies(if you can handle them), martins(if you can handle them)
Level 30-50 - Smokies, martins, Magnolia, Anacondaqs, Eggyras, Hodes
Level 50-53 - Hodes, Desert Wolves(Best monster to kill to reach job lvl 40! Beware of mob )
-----------------------------
Bow Thief's Skills

Double Attack
-------------
Passive : Only works on daggers.
Level Effect
1 05% Chance / + 02% Katar Dmg
2 10% Chance / + 04% Katar Dmg
3 15% Chance / + 06% Katar Dmg
4 20% Chance / + 08% Katar Dmg
5 25% Chance / + 10% Katar Dmg
6 30% Chance / + 12% Katar Dmg
7 35% Chance / + 14% Katar Dmg
8 40% Chance / + 16% Katar Dmg
9 45% Chance / + 18% Katar Dmg
10 50% Chance / + 20% Katar Dmg
The higher the level the more chance of doubling your attack.
This skill is great for dagger rogues or double dagger sins,
but it is useless for bow users, so don't take it unless
you wanna start off as a dagger user then a bow user at a
later stage.
-------------
Improve Dodge
-------------
Passive
Level Effect Level Effect
1 + 3 Flee
2 + 6 Flee

5 + 15 Flee
6 + 18 Flee
7 + 21 Flee
8 + 24 Flee
9 + 27 Flee
10 + 30 Flee
The higher the skill lvl the higher your dodge increase.
When you master this skill, you dodge shall be +30 flee,
and that is ALOT!
This is a MUST HAVE skill as you wont be attacking as good as
a hunter, but you can dodge better than a hunter!!
-----
Steal
-----
Active
-It is only possible to steal one item from an enemy
This is a MUST MAX skill as if you're a rogue, you'll be
stealing alot. When you're a rogue, each time you use this skill,
it is a 80% to success when stealing from a monster!! The higher
your steal lvl the higher your success rate!! Not to forget dex helps the success rate too.

7 205% Poison Dmg 12
8 220% Poison Dmg 12
9 235% Poison Dmg 12
10 250% Poison Dmg 12

you get as a thief! You don't have to max this as you wont be using
it when you are a rogue.

A very important skill, as this will be used alot as a thief and a rogue!
Also, this skill is included in the rogue test or you'll have a hard time
passing the test! The higher your hide level the longer you'll last
hiding! This goes for tunnel drive too.
--------
Detoxify
--------
Active
Lvl 1 : Recovers player from poison
A useful skill as there are some monsters who can poison you or
your party members! Even in pvp, there are sins who poison
their weapon so taht they can poison you! The poison's effect
is that your DEF will decrese and you hp will slowly drop each
second! So this makes this skill VERY useful in times like these!
Don't forget bout the extra quest skills :
-----------
Throw Stone
-----------
Active
Lvl 1 : Throws a stone at target enemy, deals 30 damage and
ignores target enemies DEF. Requires Stone.
This isn't such a good skill but still get it as it is fun to play with!
Has small chances to stun enemy!
----------
Pick Stone
----------
Active
Lvl 1 : Picks a stone from the ground
This skill is needed to collect stones from the ground so that you can
use throw stone skill.
-------------
Sprinkle Sand
-------------
Active
Lvl 1 : Deals earth dmg to target enemy!
Useful skill as this is the second offensive skill
of the thief other than the envenom!
This skill is useful against wind monsters such as hunterflies,
jokers and etc!
Has small chances of blinding the enemy!
------------
Back Sliding
------------
Active
Lvl 1 : Slides back 5 cells!
This is A MUST GET SKILL as it can save your *** from being killed
by monsters and mobs! This skill saved my arse many times. Especially
from MVPs and mobs. Remember to put this on your hot key! This is another
escape skill other then the wings of fly.
--------------------------------------------------------
Final Skills for Bow-Thief
--------------------------------------------------------
So, you can choose any of the skills you would like, but mine goes something like this :
Steal lvl 10
Improve Dodge lvl 10
Envenom lvl 3
Hide lvl 10
Detox lvl 1
and the rest is up to you.

BOW ROGUE
--------------------------------------------------------
Bow Rogue's Stats
--------------------------------------------------------
Now here is the rogue's stats, the stats are following which you should increase first each time you lvl up.
AGI 50
DEX 60
AGI 60
VIT 30
DEX 70
INT 20
DEX 80
AGI 70
VIT 40
INT 30
DEX 90
VIT 50
AGI 80
DEX 120
--------------------------------------------------------
Final Stats for Bow-Rogue
--------------------------------------------------------
So at lvl 99, your stats should be something like that :
STR : 4+6 [10] (?) - for weight limits so you can carry pots and armors?
AGI : 72+8 [80] - Enough for dodging all the monsters in RO
VIT : 45+5 [50] - This makes you one tough guy in WoE
INT : 26+4 [30] - Enough sp for stripping and Double Strafing
DEX : 99+21 [120] - Beautiful
LUK : 1+0 [1] - (?)
Extra points in anywhere you want. There is 46 extra points like what the calc shows as below. It is suggested by Ceddy to add them into int/vit . Also, the 10 str is for you to carry heavier equips such as chain mail, they may be heavy, but they do give very good def . The extra points can go too str too if you find your weight limits to be very little .
--------------------------------------------------------
Bow Rogue's Skills
--------------------------------------------------------
Now for the rogue's skills :
-------------
Sword Mastery
-------------
Passive : Works with daggers AND sword!
Level Effect
1 + 05 Attack
2 + 10 Attack
3 + 15 Attack
4 + 20 Attack
5 + 25 Attack
6 + 30 Attack
7 + 35 Attack
8 + 40 Attack
9 + 45 Attack
10 + 50 Attack
It is useless for a bow-rogue.
------------
Tunnel Drive
------------
Passive : Works with hide. You need to hide to use this skill!
Can move silently. LOL
This skill is good for a dagger rogue but not a bow-rogue, put one skill
point in this just to save yourself from mobs. Since you can walk anywhere,
this is a good skill in pvp to spy what are your opponents in there.
----
Raid
----
Active
Level Effect SP Required
1 140% Attack, 13% Chance 25
2 180% Attack, 16% Chance 25
3 220% Attack, 19% Chance 25
4 260% Attack, 22% Chance 25
5 300% Attack, 25% Chance 25
Useless for bow-rogues. This is used with tunnel drive just to
stun/blind and deal some dmg to enemies in a 4x4 cell!
--------
Snatcher
--------
Passive
Level Effect
1 7% Chance
2 9% Chance
3 10% Chance
4 11% Chance
5 13% Chance
6 14% Chance
7 16% Chance
8 17% Chance
9 19% Chance
10 20% Chance
You require this up to level 4 just to get the strip skills! Mainly
it is useless as it only works while you melee, not ranged!
----------
Steal Coin
----------
Active
Steal a small amount of zeny from the enemy.
Steals coins from monsters! It's an average skill, but we need it to be level 2
as we need to get strip skills!
---------
Back Stab
---------
Active
Level Effect SP Required
1 340% Damage 16
2 380% Damage 16
3 420% Damage 16
4 460% Damage 16

6 540% Damage 16
7 580% Damage 16
8 620% Damage 16
9 660% Damage 16
10 700% Damage 16
This may be a good skill for some people as it works with bows, only
problem is that as when you max it, it should be 700% dmg with daggers,
but for bows it is half the dmg so the correct dmg for bows are 350% when
maxed! So double strafe is still better.
----------
Intimidate
----------
Active
Level Effect SP Required
1 130% Damage 13
2 160% Damage 16
3 190% Damage 19
4 220% Damage 22
5 250% Damage 25
Teleports a target enemy. This works in pvp as when there
are those pesky priests who heals your opponent, this skill comes
in handy but then you're a bow-rogues.

Bow Thief's/Rogue's Equips
--------------------------------------------------------
Now for the thief's or rogue's equips (all the equips below is required so you can achieve 120 dex) :
Head : +6/+7 AoA
Head middle : Opera Mask
Head lower : Used for middle
Weapon : Arbalest [2 slots]
Garment : +6/+7 Mocking/Immune Manteau (Whisper card/Raydric)
Armour : +6/+7 Chain Mail/Thief clothes/or any thing with good def (Rocker card)
Accessory : Slotted Glove (Zerom Card) - to achieve 120 dex [for lower than lvl 90 use clip]
Accessory : Slotted Glove (Zerom Card) - to achieve 120 dex [for lower than lvl 90 use clip]
Boots : +6/+7 Green Boots (Matyr card)
-----------------------------------------------------
Leveling as a Bow-Rogue
-----------------------------------------------------
Now, as you are a level 53, go fight some hodes or sohees. Get your job lvl to lvl 21 as
you can already max Vulture's Eye and Double Strafe to lvl 10! Though hodes are not
recommended at your level, but it is still okay for those who have patiece! If you think
sohees aren't the best monsters for you, then I would suggest mummies in morroc
piramids lvl 3. In there you can snipe the mummies so that you wont get hurt.
After level 60+, you are ready for Glast Helm, go there and move on to the chruch,
now hunt for some monsters like zombie prisoner or skel prisoner, do not one on one
with them as your agi isn't the same as Assassin's. Instead use the hit & run technique.
Since your level is low, they'll give you a great amount of exp. Also you don't need a
priest to guide you as you can solo in GH yourself! I'll pass the easy way to understand
the level up guide!
Level 53-60 - Sohees / Mummies / GH Church(Only if you already have VE and DS at lvl 10)!
Level 60-75 - Glast Helm Church, kill anything you see, try not to ks! Instead use the hit & run technique! Or if you want, go to GH prison, but remember to get a large party with you!!!
Level 75-90 - If able, try raydrics, but it is advised to be in a large party with or a small party, but you must have a supportive priest, if raydrics are too powerful, then continue in GH prison as there are many monsters in there!
Level 90-99 - From here you can almost fight everything, even MvP/PvM ofcourse! As you are repaid from your hard work of playing your character. Now you can just hang out in pvp mode as no one can touch you or you can just kill them easily or just having a traditional guild outting!

PvP Strategies
--------------------------------------------------------
Quote - Junkie.
guys! i got a new idea for bow rogues to survive longer in order to strip! psl rate my strategy. lolz
A lilttle preparation whenever i'm goin for pvp.Firstly, i set my main pvp weapon which is a double bloody arbalest on my hotkey.Next i equip myself with a cranial buckler then enter pvp arena.
From here....
1. find ur target
2. stalk up to him/her
3. strip! (can stay longer with cranial buckler on instead of bow)
4. backslide
5. change to main weapon
6. ds like there's no tomorrow!
so the main point here is to equip a cranial buckler in order to strip ur enemy while receiving the minimum dmg so that u can hang in there longer while u strip! after that, a quick tap on ur hotkey to change weapon and it's up to u how to handle ur enemy.
--------------------------------------------------------
LOL, a little proof that bow rogues can MVP.
A little stats calc about the build.
----------------------
Tips
----------------------
-Using element arrows against monsters may help alot. So remember carrying element arrows with you all the time. And don't forget to examine the monster's attribute before fighting it.
-At lvl 85+, you are able to use berserk pot that adds more aspd than the awakenning. So it's a good thing being a bow rogue than a hunter.
-Use a Kakkung[2] if you can't achieve 120 dex.
----------------------
Updates
----------------------
-I think i'll stop from here, and I'll do further updates later.
-Okay, updated the day I made this, sorry bout leaving the skills blank, had to go for tuition just now.
-I'm trying my best to make this guide easy for ppl to read.
-If there is any mistakes, please tell me.
-Made new Tips title.

This skill is needed to collect stones from the ground so that you can
use throw stone skill.
-------------
Sprinkle Sand

BOW ROGUE
--------------------------------------------------------
Bow Rogue's Stats
--------------------------------------------------------
Now here is the rogue's stats, the stats are following which you should increase first each time you lvl up.
AGI 50
DEX 60
AGI 60
VIT 30
DEX 70
INT 20
DEX 80
AGI 70
VIT 40
INT 30
DEX 90
VIT 50
AGI 80
DEX 120
--------------------------------------------------------
Final Stats for Bow-Rogue
--------------------------------------------------------
So at lvl 99, your stats should be something like that :
STR : 4+6 [10] (?) - for weight limits so you can carry pots and armors?
AGI : 72+8 [80] - Enough for dodging all the monsters in RO
VIT : 45+5 [50] - This makes you one tough guy in WoE
INT : 26+4 [30] - Enough sp for stripping and Double Strafing
DEX : 99+21 [120] - Beautiful
LUK : 1+0 [1] - (?)
Extra points in anywhere you want. There is 46 extra points like what the calc shows as below. It is suggested by Ceddy to add them into int/vit . Also, the 10 str is for you to carry heavier equips such as chain mail, they may be heavy, but they do give very good def . The extra points can go too str too if you find your weight limits to be very little .

Bow Rogue's Skills
--------------------------------------------------------
Now for the rogue's skills :
-------------
Sword Mastery
-------------
Passive : Works with daggers AND sword!
Level Effect
1 + 05 Attack
2 + 10 Attack
3 + 15 Attack
4 + 20 Attack
5 + 25 Attack
6 + 30 Attack
7 + 35 Attack
8 + 40 Attack
9 + 45 Attack
10 + 50 Attack
It is useless for a bow-rogue.
------------
Tunnel Drive
------------
Passive : Works with hide. You need to hide to use this skill!
Can move silently. LOL
This skill is good for a dagger rogue but not a bow-rogue, put one skill
point in this just to save yourself from mobs. Since you can walk anywhere,
this is a good skill in pvp to spy what are your opponents in there.
----
Raid
----
Active
Level Effect SP Required
1 140% Attack, 13% Chance 25
2 180% Attack, 16% Chance 25
3 220% Attack, 19% Chance 25
4 260% Attack, 22% Chance 25
5 300% Attack, 25% Chance 25
Useless for bow-rogues. This is used with tunnel drive just to
stun/blind and deal some dmg to enemies in a 4x4 cell!
--------
Snatcher
--------
Passive
Level Effect
1 7% Chance
2 9% Chance
3 10% Chance
4 11% Chance
5 13% Chance
6 14% Chance
7 16% Chance
8 17% Chance
9 19% Chance
10 20% Chance
You require this up to level 4 just to get the strip skills! Mainly
it is useless as it only works while you melee, not ranged!
----------
Steal Coin
----------
Active
Steal a small amount of zeny from the enemy.
Steals coins from monsters! It's an average skill, but we need it to be level 2
as we need to get strip skills!
---------
Back Stab

Level Effect SP Required

7 580% Damage 16
8 620% Damage 16
9 660% Damage 16
10 700% Damage 16
This may be a good skill for some people as it works with bows, only
problem is that as when you max it, it should be 700% dmg with daggers,
but for bows it is half the dmg so the correct dmg for bows are 350% when
maxed! So double strafe is still better.
----------
Intimidate
----------
Active
Level Effect SP Required
1 130% Damage 13
2 160% Damage 16
3 190% Damage 19
4 220% Damage 22
5 250% Damage 25
Teleports a target enemy. This works in pvp as when there
are those pesky priests who heals your opponent, this skill comes
in handy but then you're a bow-rogues.

-----------

sets a trap, you may remove it before being traped in it

--------------------------------------------------------
Bow Thief's/Rogue's Equips
--------------------------------------------------------
Now for the thief's or rogue's equips (all the equips below is required so you can achieve 120 dex) :
Head : +6/+7 AoA
Head middle : Opera Mask
Head lower : Used for middle
Weapon : Arbalest [2 slots]
Garment : +6/+7 Mocking/Immune Manteau (Whisper card/Raydric)
Armour : +6/+7 Chain Mail/Thief clothes/or any thing with good def (Rocker card)
Accessory : Slotted Glove (Zerom Card) - to achieve 120 dex [for lower than lvl 90 use clip]
Accessory : Slotted Glove (Zerom Card) - to achieve 120 dex [for lower than lvl 90 use clip]
Boots : +6/+7 Green Boots (Matyr card)
-----------------------------------------------------
Leveling as a Bow-Rogue
-----------------------------------------------------
Now, as you are a level 53, go fight some hodes or sohees. Get your job lvl to lvl 21 as
you can already max Vulture's Eye and Double Strafe to lvl 10! Though hodes are not
recommended at your level, but it is still okay for those who have patiece! If you think
sohees aren't the best monsters for you, then I would suggest mummies in morroc
piramids lvl 3. In there you can snipe the mummies so that you wont get hurt.
After level 60+, you are ready for Glast Helm, go there and move on to the chruch,
now hunt for some monsters like zombie prisoner or skel prisoner, do not one on one
with them as your agi isn't the same as Assassin's. Instead use the hit & run technique.
Since your level is low, they'll give you a great amount of exp. Also you don't need a
priest to guide you as you can solo in GH yourself! I'll pass the easy way to understand
the level up guide!
Level 53-60 - Sohees / Mummies / GH Church(Only if you already have VE and DS at lvl 10)!
Level 60-75 - Glast Helm Church, kill anything you see, try not to ks! Instead use the hit & run technique! Or if you want, go to GH prison, but remember to get a large party with you!!!
Level 75-90 - If able, try raydrics, but it is advised to be in a large party with or a small party, but you must have a supportive priest, if raydrics are too powerful, then continue in GH prison as there are many monsters in there!
Level 90-99 - From here you can almost fight everything, even MvP/PvM ofcourse! As you are repaid from your hard work of playing your character. Now you can just hang out in pvp mode as no one can touch you or you can just kill them easily or just having a traditional guild outting!

PvP Strategies
--------------------------------------------------------
Quote - Junkie.
guys! i got a new idea for bow rogues to survive longer in order to strip! psl rate my strategy. lolz
A lilttle preparation whenever i'm goin for pvp.Firstly, i set my main pvp weapon which is a double bloody arbalest on my hotkey.Next i equip myself with a cranial buckler then enter pvp arena.
From here....
1. find ur target
2. stalk up to him/her
3. strip! (can stay longer with cranial buckler on instead of bow)
4. backslide
5. change to main weapon
6. ds like there's no tomorrow!
so the main point here is to equip a cranial buckler in order to strip ur enemy while receiving the minimum dmg so that u can hang in there longer while u strip! after that, a quick tap on ur hotkey to change weapon and it's up to u how to handle ur enemy.
--------------------------------------------------------
LOL, a little proof that bow rogues can MVP.
A little stats calc about the build.
----------------------
Tips
----------------------
-Using element arrows against monsters may help alot. So remember carrying element arrows with you all the time. And don't forget to examine the monster's attribute before fighting it.
-At lvl 85+, you are able to use berserk pot that adds more aspd than the awakenning. So it's a good thing being a bow rogue than a hunter.
-Use a Kakkung[2] if you can't achieve 120 dex.
----------------------
Updates
----------------------
-I think i'll stop from here, and I'll do further updates later.
-Okay, updated the day I made this, sorry bout leaving the skills blank, had to go for tuition just now.
-I'm trying my best to make this guide easy for ppl to read.
