Level Needed: 30

Summary
Piercing Shot: 5/5
Magic Arrow: 1/5
Chain Action: 1/5
Forces of Nature: 1/5
Animal Soul: 5/5
Power Crossbow: 4/5
Snare Shot: 1/5
Rock skin: 5/5
Dash: 5/5

Explanation:

If anyone notice, lvl 30 is the limit for PvP in Archlord since episode 2. Since you cannot PvP until lvl 30, this part of the build is designed for pure PvE with just some skill points used on PvP skill. At low lvl, it is extremely easy for archers to grind due to their relatively high defense. Your goal is to max out Animal Soul, Rock Skin, Piercing Shot, and Dash. With Animal Soul and Rock Skin maxed out, you should be able to pull as much monsters as you want (because they only deal 1-10 damage to you) though cannot kill all of them at the same time (the AoE limit is 15 monsters for archer since episode 2). Piercing Shot is simply your only AoE skill until lvl 29 (when you get Snare Shot). In order to grind, it is recommended that you have at least 2 AoE skills when grinding. Dash does not help much during this period since most monsters only deal 1-10 damage to you, but you will need it after lvl 30.

How to grind?

Pull 10-15 monsters with Normal Attack => Run => Snare Shot (when you get it at lvl 29) => Run => Piercing Shot => Repeat from Snare Shot.

OR

Pull 10-15 monsters with Normal Attack => Run around to make them stack together => Stand still and spam Snare Shot (again, when you get it at lvl 29) & Piercing Shot until they die. (I personally don’t recommend this way because the durability of your gears decreases quickly this way).

Summary
Piercing Shot: 5/5

Burst Shot: 4/5
Forces of Nature: 1/5
Animal Soul: 5/5
Power Crossbow: 4/5
Snare Shot: 5/5
Rock skin: 5/5
Sharp Shooter: 2/5
Soul Breath: 3/5
Helpless: 2/5
Heavy Hand: 1/5
Dash: 5/5

Explanation:

During this period, you will be getting many new skills like listed above. However, during this time, archer is not very strong in PvP yet because many of the key PvP skill is not fully developed. But then again, this build is planned for PvE before PvP, so most of the skill points are distributed in PvE skills. You will be able to get Burst Shot during this period. Many people prefer to replace Piercing Shot with Burst Shot but I prefer to keep Piercing Shot. The reason why will be explained in a little bit. You will also get new buffs like Soul Breath and Sharp Shooter which are important for PvP, not so much PvE (actually, Sharp Shooter does help in PvE a bit). You will also be grinding inside dungeons if you want fast lvl or outside if you want to be safe and a lot of money. The monsters are stronger now, they no longer hit you 1-10 damage but more, MUCH more especially if you grind in dungeons. If you don’t want to get hit much, uses running speed pot or CC Agility Pot.

How to grind?

Pull 10-15 monsters with Normal Attack => Run => Snare Shot => Run => Piercing Shot => Run => Burst Shot => Repeat from Snare Shot.

OR

(If you have lens stones)
