    Wow such a pro guide.

    Reading this amazing piece of literature makes me want to create a bucc.

    Do you actually need to scroll gear for dex to hit bosses? Or is it just to equip items?

    Clean event items (maple earrings, rudolph nose etc.) + maple pops should be enough for Royal Guard.
    If you don't have any of these you might have to equip some scrolled DEX gear if you want to hit 100% of the time.

    How many range does Bucc need to join HT run? Or How many range can Bucc get when Bucc has similar equips with 6k range NL?
    Cuz, I heard NL needs 6k range.

    From what I understood class skills are modified (or balanced if you will) on MapleRoyals, so does this guide consider it?

    I remember for instance Barrage had an awful delay back in the day

    Quick question about washing Buccaneer for 30k potential.
    Let's assume I have added 200 INT and has about 70 INT in equips since Level 50.
    Even if I wash untill level 150 I will only get 27*100 = 2700 additional MP and every ap reset costs -16MP and add +40HP, so in total I will be able to reset 2700/16 = 168 times and get 168*40 = 6720 additional HP.
    I don't see how it is possible to reach 30k this way...

    I apologize for the late reply, I've been a little busy.

    This depends on the way you chose to wash and the values you used, the HP Washing calculator will provide you with your answer once you insert the values - here.

    Sorry, but as I said my guide will mainly focus on bossing and shaping your Buccaneer for end-game:
    Other leveling and training locations guides exist and you should check them out using the guide directory - here.

    Some future updates coming to the guide:
    - updated Auf Haven section with newer map layout
    - minor updates to the HT section
    - Bucc specific LHC guide (lower priority)
    - Von Leon guide whenever that comes out

    To be honest, I barely run these on my Bucc now as I've been focusing on other goals, so I apologize if it takes time.
    If any other dedicated Bucc players want to help me with recording specific videos/gifs feel free to contact me :)

    I've done a lot of CWK, and I see many buccs ignoring the info here and just sticking with barrage dragonstrike.

    I've tested it with jviracle and snatch dragonstrike was significantly faster. And if your top finishes before your bottom and all 3 bot are alive, BM/MM should hug the mob and cast arrow rain, this avoids stuns. NL's with their avoid can passively avoid stuns. I think snatch ds is always the move.

    Refer to this for damage comparison between the combos: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/the...e-no-longer-updated.62268/page-14#post-970448

    TL ; DR:
    - DS+Snatch best for 3 or more targets
    - Barrage + DS best for 2 targets
    - Barrage + Demo best for single target

    Note that the difference between Barrage+DS and Barrage+Demo on 2 targets is very small, so in environments where you hit 2 targets but could benefit from the extra i-frames from Demo (like HT wings for example) it's better to just Barrage + Demo.

    More specifically, for CWK bottom DS+Snatch is definitely the best damaging combo.

    Would it be a good idea to put 1 point of SP into Time Leap at level 135 instead of level 144 so that it's instantly relevant when beginning to boss at Zak/Krex? I don't think it'll slow down the Barrage leveling process by much, right?

    Yes, that would be viable and the skillbuild you choose depends on your priorities, as I said:

    There are top (HP/MP) and bottom(Str Dex Int Luk)

    just reset 1 AP from btm into top and remain it on the top. Then you can repeat washing -MP+HP until you don’t have enough mana for washing.
