001. Introduction
Welcome and thank you for using this guide. My name is Shaun,
and playing MapleSEA Delphinus now, a LV92 Ranger <MSHunters>.
I also have a cleric at LV42 <MSClerics>, currently inactive.
I decided to help out the community by sending a guide to Hidden-
Street but I will not touch on the 2nd Job section as there are
already many guides in Hidden-Street regarding that topic.
A special thanks to the Hidden-Street staff for allowing
me to post this guide and for the information given. And Wizet
for creating MapleStory.. This guide wouldn't exist without it..
If you're a Sniper, this guide may or may not help you... Well,
just take your time. It's quite similar since almost all the
Sniper's skills are the same with the Ranger's. Specifically,
Arrow Rain, Inferno and Silver Hawk. These 3 are very similar.
NEXT, VERSION HISTORY...

SKILL DESCRIPTIONS AND COMMENTS AWAIT..
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
003. 3rd Job Skills
The 3rd Job Skills... One of the best set of skills in the 3rd Job
Class... From Strafe to Arrow Rain, and Inferno... I'll give a short
briefing on all the skills. This set of skills is so overwhelming!
[Thrust]: Master LV20 Passive
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Boosts up the moving speed.
Comments : This is by right the only skill that increases Speed
permanently. I liked it at first... But it's not too good.
You can get at least 20 Speed from using equipments and
using a speed pill together. Some regard it as a waste of
skill points <SP>.
[Mortal Blow]: Master LV20 Passive
Pre-requisite: None
Description: For a certain rate, allows you to fire arrows even at a
very close range. Even kills a monster with one shot every
once in a while.
Comments : This is a good skill. Unlike Final Attack, it only activates
when you are close to the monster, not randomly. Also, this
skill eliminates the minimum range problem. You may want to
get it as soon as possible.
[Puppet]: Master LV20 Support
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Summons a puppet (your other self) for a certain amount of
time. While the puppet is around, the monsters will attack
the puppet, not you.
Comments : This skill's sole purpose is to lure monsters and then SHOOT!
Very useful in those closed-up maps where it's so tight that
there's nowhere to run. Just place a puppet somewhere else,
the monster will move away and you're safe.
[Inferno]: Master LV30 Active
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Uses fire-based arrows to attack up to 6 monsters at once.
Only works when equipped with a bow.
Comments : This skill is otherwise known as Fire Shot. Nice skill.
Finally, bowmen have an elemental attack. There is also that
1.5x element weakness multiplier. It also works exactly like
Arrow Bomb except it doesn't stun. Unlike Sniper's Ice Shot,
this skill can critical but their's do not. Works wonders with
Critical and the elemental weakness together.
[Arrow Rain]: Master LV20 Active
Pre-requisite: Mortal Blow LV5
Description: Fires a number of arrows into the sky, attacking up to 6
monsters at once on its way down. Only available when
equipped with a bow.
Comments : AWESOME! We can finally attack like those Mages. No minimum
range at all. This means that we can launch this attack from
anywhere and strikes all around you, even if the monster's
right behind you! Master this skill quick. Critical can also
activate using this skill. Last but not least, the skill also
has its signature sound effect and it looks nice.
[Silver Hawk]: Master LV30 Active
Pre-requisite: Puppet LV5 and Consumes 1 Summoning Rock
Description: Summons a silver hawk. The hawk will be hovering around you,
attacking monsters nearby.
Comments : I like the stunner rate, a 99%! This can be useful if you're
somewhat lazy to attack. Just stand near a monster and let the
hawk do the work for you. But that is not how you use it.. It
works as a backup attacker for you. Though I'm not really sure
how much damage it does..
[Strafe]: Master LV30 Active
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Fires 4 arrows at an enemy.
Comments : This is the strongest attack ever in being a 3rd Job Bowman.
Let's do the math... 100% x 4 arrows... And then critical...
Which adds 100% per arrow. You get up to 800% damage per Strafe
at a 40% rate when mastered! Some say that LV1 Strafe is way
better than LV20 Double Shot because Critical Shot increases
100% damage instead of doubling it.
Well, this is it for the skills. Time for the SP Allocation.
SP BUILDS, HERE WE COME!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
004. SP Allocation Intro
Okay, the SP Allocation for my guide will be divided into two sections. The
first part consists of three simple, basic builds which are easily compiled
with some knowledge.
The second part is slightly more complex because I took quite some time to
build it up. Well, it isn't perfect and I'm still looking for ways to boost
it's efficiency. I'll be looking forward to making it a great build. I am
also currently using the custom one.
Okay, now that this section is done, let's get on with the SP Builds. Feel
free to experience any of them and try experimenting them to see which suits
you the most. Have fun!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
005. SP Allocation Part I
There are many variations to making a skill build. But I will only
state mine and a few more because I don't know the others much... By the
way, this was all the research that I did to make these 3 basic builds.
The Custom SP Build below, which I feel, is much better than these 3 here.
SP BUILD <START>
This is what you have to follow in the beginning. It is very important
that you max Strafe out early because eventually you'll have to use it
as your primary attack. If not, then you try to make a build of your own.
LV70 - 1 point in Strafe (1)
LV71 - 2 points in Strafe (3), 1 point in Inferno (1)

out if you like killing fast.

Silver Hawk- 30 (MASTERED)
Strafe - 30 (MASTERED)
Well, that's it for the SP Allocation. I hope you're happy with
the 3 builds that I gave.
Some FAQs Regarding The Builds
Q: Why not we add Thrust? After all, Bowmen have low movement speed.
A: Personally, I don't really like Thrust. You'll be losing points
on other skills. Some recommend this, use a Bone Helm, an Icarus
Cape 2, and a Speed Pill. Around +25 Speed without Jump. Also, you
may be partying with a Hermit/Ch. Bandit most of the time.
Q: Hmm... Why max Strafe so early? What about the others?
A: Well, Strafe is very powerful to me, so I max it quick. Some people
leave it at LV10 to master the others then only master Strafe. It's
really up to you. For me, I want high damage early.
ON TO THE CUSTOM BUILD!

006. SP Allocation Part II Version Check
This section will cover the version history of the custom skill build.
It starts from version 4.0 onwards.
Version 4.0 >> Version 4.10
Shifted the last few LVs of Silver Hawk and Mortal Blow around. The other
skills are not affected anyhow.
Version 3.90 >> Version 4.0
Rearranged Arrow Rain with some Puppet and Silver Hawk. Skill build now
looks slightly more complex.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
007. SP Allocation Part II Skill Build
It's another skill build. But this time, it's custom made and it was for
me only. But I've decided to share this build with all the guide viewers
so that they can succeed themselves too.
It's a little different than the 3 builds above... Depends on whether
you want it or not. I have a great feeling it will be successful <I guess>.
Well, here goes! Note that the overall result is slightly different.
Oh yeah, just a note. Due to recent suggestions and some tough thinking,
I just want to inform that the Custom SP Build may change for every update
that took place. The 3 above won't be covered. It will always be that way.
Please write this build somewhere for future reference.

Arrow Rain - 30 (MASTERED)
Silver Hawk- 30 (MASTERED)
Strafe - 30 (MASTERED)
Some FAQs Regarding The Custom SP Build
Q: Why did you decide to put this build up?
A: Well, I figured the people around needed some guidance and I also
thought that the builds above weren't enough.
Q: Is this build better than the 3 stated above?
A: I highly think so because I've asked some of the fellow Rangers for
their suggestions and then put all the info together to make this
one build.
Q: With this build, won't you be more likely to get Arrow Rain late?
A: Just like the 3 builds above, I'd prefer a short boost in power as
a Ranger. This time, Strafe is to be left at LV10, assuring that you
get balanced damage and also a balanced time of getting Arrow Rain.
Q: Why isn't Inferno mastered this time?
A: I compared Inferno and Silver Hawk. It seems that Silver Hawk is very
useful at LV30 because it can actually save your character's life with
it's 99% stunner. Inferno on the other hand, is about as strong as
Arrow Bomb at LV21, on non-fire weak monsters, that is.. I also came to
think that Inferno is pretty much used for luring purposes too.
Q: Wow, you sure have the build shuffled here. Aren't direct builds a lot
faster than shifted builds? That's what many people do.
A: It's your opinion, overall. Shuffled builds are easy to me since you get
a complete variation of skills instead of going in one straight line and
using only one skill for about 10 levels. Playing with shuffled builds
can actually make your character less boring and maybe a lot easier to
train.

008. Extra <4th Job Advancement>
The 4th Job Advancement is the final and the most rewarding job advancement
in Maple Story. It takes place when you are at least LV120. There are no
requirements for this advancement except you have to be at LV120 and have
the position of the 3rd Job.
Here are the steps to finish your final job advancement. First of all, train
really hard until you're LV120. Then, talk to Rene, in El Nath. She will then
introduce you to Legor, your 4th Job Instructor. He will then tell you to
collect 2 items, namely the Heroic Star and the Heroic Pentagon. There are 2
ways to obtain these two items.
The first method is to obtain them by fighting. Manon and Griffey, both
Leafre bosses, provide you with them. Be aware of their capable damage. You
will not actually see the 2 items drop. Instead, you will immediately get the
item straight away in your Etc. slot.
The second method is to obtain them by "buying" the items. You get the items
by trading a scroll for the items needed. That scroll can be bought from Vega
in the 44th Floor of the Eos Tower. Please keep a good eye that the scroll
costs a hefty 10 million mesos. After getting the scroll, give it to Cheif
Tamato in Leafre itself and he in return will give you the 2 items.
Collect the Heroic Star and the Heroic Pentagon and give it to Legor as proof
that you are ready for the 4th Job Adavncement. Clicking on him once will award
you with the skill, Maple Hero. Clicking on him for a second time will fully
advance you into your 4th Job proper. From there, a new skill book will be
given to you. In that book, only three skills are preset unlocked, namely Sharp
Eyes, Hamstring and Bow Expertness.
But there is a catch, you can only unlock the skills by getting skill books
from monsters, although some are preset ready. And your maximum LV for each
skill is fixed at LV10 until you obtain mastery books to get LVs 20 and 30.
ON TO THE SKILLS!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
009. Extra <4th Job Skills>
Here, I will state the 4th Job Skills for the Ranger's 4th Job only because
I do not know much of all the others.. Anyways, I will still get on with the
skills now. This is more overwhelming than the 3rd Job Skills..
[Maple Hero]: Master LV20 Support
Category : All classes
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Temporarily enhances the base statistics of everyone in the party.
Comments : Does exactly what it says. Increases your 4 stats in total by 10%
when maxed. Proves useful for extra avoid, accuracy and others.
{Hamstring]: Master LV30 Active
Category : BowMaster only
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Allows each arrow fired to have a chance to slow the target
temporarily.
Comments : Again, does what it says, slows down targets hit by the arrows.
You have to activate it as a support skill first. Within the
timer, all shots fired have a certain chance of decreasing the
enemy's speed temporarily.
[Sharp Eyes]: Master LV30 Support
Category : BowMaster / CrossbowMaster
Pre-requisite: None
Description: A temporary buff that enables party members to perform critical
attacks. Critical Shot and Critical Throw will also be enhanced.
Comments : This is a secondary Critical attcak for Bowmen and Claw users.
Now only does this skill adds damage, but it also increases the
rate of firing critical shots. A normal Critical would boost the
damage by 100%, but after the buff, it makes it to 240%. This is
one of the three priorities of a BowMaster.
[Dragon Pulse]: Master LV30 Active
Category : BowMaster / CrossbowMaster
Pre-requisite: None
Description: The power of the soul of a dragon is imbued in the arrow. The
power of the arrow causes the enemy to be knocked back.
Comments : This is a replacement for 2nd Job's Power Knock-Back. Used
together with Mortal Blow, this skill would make quite an
invincible combo for monster control.
[Hurricane/Storm Of Arrows]: Master LV30 Active
Category : BowMaster only
Pre-requisite: None
Description: A hurricane flows a torrential sea of arrows at an enemy. When the
skill is activated, you may continuously fire arrows, but you may
not use items until the skill is deactivated.
Comments : This is a killer attack skill. It will always fire arrows until the
skill key is released or you get hit. On average, it hits about 7-9
arrows per second <432 per min>. Note that it has a short startup
acceleration time. This skill also has an extremely high re-fire
rate. This is one of the three priorities of a BowMaster.
[Concentrate]: Master LV30 Support
Category : BowMaster only
Pre-requisite: None
Description: Temporarily increases the weapon attack and temporarily decrease
MP consumption. <Cooldown time: 6 minutes>
Comments : This is a BowMaster-special skill which increases the weapon attack
by up to 26 when it is maxed. Also, this skill lowers the MP usage
of every skill by 50% when maxed. Please be aware of the cooldown
timer as well.
[Bow Expertness]: Master LV30 Passive
Category : BowMaster / CrossbowMaster <Crossbow Expertness>
Pre-requisite: Bow Mastery LV20 <2nd Job Skill>
Description: Further increases the mastery of attacks. This skill also increases
weapon attack.
Comments : Just like Sharp Eyes, this is an upgrade version of the 2nd Job's
Bow Mastery. Grants you up to 90% mastery on every attack and a
bonus 10 weapon attack when maxed. This is one of the three
priorities of a BowMaster.
[Phoenix]: Master LV30 Support
Category : BowMaster / CrossbowMaster <Freezer>
Pre-requisite: Silver Hawk LV15 <3rd Job Skill>
Description: A phoenix is temporarily summoned, continuously blasting up to 4
monsters with fire.
Comments : Again, an upgrade skill version of 3rd Job's Silver Hawk. Comparing
both skills, I have to say Silver Hawk is better because it stuns
monsters and saves your life. This is just a backup attacker. Do
note that it DOES NOT need any Summoning Rock.
Some extra notes before I end this section. As you can see, I have stated the
master LVs of every skill. But you do not get to max those skills right away.
The skills start off at LV10 max. You will have to find mastery books to upgrade
them which can be obtained from various monsters. To use the books, you double
click on them, but they too have percentage rates of passing.
A LV20 Mastery Book will have a 70% chance of passing.
A LV30 Mastery Book will have a 50% chance of passing.
Please note that even if your mastery books fail, they do not affect your
character in whatsoever way. That is all about the 4th Job Skills.
