    I'd recommend staying STRless and using maple weapons until you can get your equips sorted out. Saves you from having to reset STR when you end up with too much.

    Ok...

    maple weapon drops can be found here.

    Training spots:
    10-30 Anywhere, it's not hard on a 4x server
    31-50 CPQ is amazing
    40+ leprechauns, master/platoon chronos if you need some dough
    51-55 stds
    51-60 voodoos
    51-80 ghost ship 2
    55-70 FoG (you'll need a melee training partner or some PKB to train here)
    76-100 Typhons (you'll want 21+ AE)
    76-100 Wolf spider party
    85-100 Gobies (once you have some strafe and ae, maybe blizz idk)
    95-110 Himes
    85-100 newtie snipe
    100 -120 newtie party

    Skill build:
    first job (in no particular order)
    max critical, double shot, eye of amazon, 3 blessing, rest into focus.

    second job (my build)
    1 IA
    max mastery
    booster and soul arrow until both are at 60-90 seconds (duration is personal preference)
    IA or PKB as needed, until both are maxed
    finish booster and soul arrow
    finish focus

    3rd job
    1 strafe
    5 mortal blow (or is it 3? whatever you need for ae)
    21 or 30 AE (21 has max range, 30 has 160% instead of 140% damage, which is an 11.1% increase in dps considering crits)
    1 blizz (optional)
    21 or 30 strafe (21 has 90%, 30 has 100%, which is a 7.7% increase in dps considering crits)
    puppet or blizz depending on where you train. do not level blizz above 21
    thrust 10 or 20 (+20 vs +30 speed, remember there are pet equips and speed pills)
    rest into mb

    In addition, Golden Eagle must be at least 15 as well to unlock Frostprey.

    For stats, you can be strless till about 8-9x, then start preparing to add str to convert to your neschere/DSX. Lvl 10-35 will be a bitch though, since you can only wield the lvl 12 xbow till 35.
