Marksmanship Problem

[Crimson Hair]

So I started leveling Thief again. At the moment its 36. My problem is, when I was leveling lower levels of THF, I never bothered to use Marksmanship.

So from 27-36 I tried to level and use it. lets just say it was... Pathetic lol.

My marksmanship right now is at Level 24, and whenver I'm fighting XP mobx, i ALWAYS miss. How can I fix this? How can I bring my marksmanship close to cap, so that my bolts actually do something.


Thank you.

Re: Marksmanship Problem

Buy Blood Bolts, sub RNG, go to Qufim Island, and fire away. Should really be that hard.

Buy some RngAcc+ rings/gear, and have at it. Do not equip a main weapon, and you should be able to get your Skill to Lv.85 there. BY the time you cap out on Worms, you can move to grabs. With your evasion, and the Bloody bolts will keep your HP up.

Now if you don't already know it, you're going to head to the AH and see the Bloody bolts aren't cheap any more. (They used to be 3k a stack on Laskshmi, they're now 12k a stack.) I said it wouldn't be that hard, I didn't say it would be cheap! lol

Of course if you have a mage friend who's bored, you could go and buy cheapo bolts, fire away and have a mage silence the mob, and/or Cure you.

You could also buy Sleep Bolts. At Lv.85 I always head to the 2nd Jungle. You may be able to get skill ups in Altepa though. I've never tried that.

Re: Marksmanship Problem

considering the price of those bolts I found it making more sense to just go ahead and level up rangers to mid 30 1-24 the bolts you can buy from NPC are dirt cheap and you're sure to cap it every level.

Re: Marksmanship Problem

Once its capped, try macroing in your ra rings in for every shot. The extra 10 acc will help.
Also, what bolts are you planning on using in xp situations. Personally, I'd advise acids and maybe venoms. Since you're always going to have to stay close to the mob b/c of the ranged attack patch the main need for those bolts is the proc. Acid bolts are a godsend. Any damage dealer will tell you how much help they are and what a huge difference in damage they see whenever it proc's. (Plus they're great for overwriting the cocoon effect used by crawlers.)
