Hi!! Finally I’m able to update my blogsite. Been very busy!! And I mean very busy. There’s so many things that I wan to do, so many stuffs to do in maple. 4th job is out, many discoveries to be made. Like opening a new fantasy storybook with many wonders in it. I wanted to get my skillbooks as quickly as possible too. I wanted to go for more boss fights. Phew, finally had time to update. Here it goes~
Bowmaster 4th job advancement
(MapleSEA opening cover)
I’ll start from where I left off. The screenshot before the patch on 20th Novemeber 2007, where I logged off at the 3rd job advacement room. And so the patch was done and I was in. The start of 4th job advancement.
I didn’t wanted to waste any time. I needed to change job immediatly. So I quickly talked to the npcs and I left to Leafre using the VIP teleporting rock. I went to the 4th job advancement room which is located right after Birks’s (white and black sheep) map. The 4th job npc requires me to collect the Hero star and pentagon. I had them but it seems that it didn’t worked. So I had no choice but to go talk to Tatamo in Leafre to activate the quest to buy the secret scroll. Then I teleported to Ludibrium and to the 44th floor to buy the secret scroll. The scroll costs 10 million meso!!! But there was no time to waste, as I knew there wouldn’t be any Manon or Griffey at that time. So after I bought, back to leafre i went, handed in the quest and to the 4th job advancement room. Talked to the npc, enter, enter, click, click, and yey!! I was a bowmaster. My 1st task was too get Athena’s glove. And it was said that it drops from blue Kentaurus. So off I went searching for it. It didn’t took me long to get it. After I got it, I went to henesys to hand itthe glove and I was then given, STORM OF ARROWS.
I now had 4 skills, Maple Hero lvl 0, Storm of arrows lv 10, Sharp eyes lvl 10, Hamstring lvl 0.

4th job bowmaster Skills
I then went to find the other skill, concentration. It was said that the skill concentration starts from a storybook dropped by sharks. So I went to hunt sharks. It is said that sharks drops sharp eyes lvl 20 too. So it was like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. It wasn’t easy looking for the SB (skill books). I hunted for hours and hours but there was still none. Later on I finally found it. I found a SB!! Surf board with a ??? name.
Lolz. This was really a rare item. It seems that the shark drops has changed. Oh well, I’ll still have to continue hunting. I went to did some other quest for skills too such as the phenoix quest and the El Nath Pq.
The next day, after a zk section, I went back to sharks. And after I killed a few sharks, *poof!! A green storybook came out from sharks!! Yey!! My 1st real SB. I could now learn concentration.
I went to did the quests for concentration speaking to NPCs and collecting the required items. But unfortunately, the quest at the end requires at least 2 archers to complete them. SteboonB1 decided to help me when I asked him. Eventhough he had alredi done the quest. And so off we went, killing 300 Junior Balrogs. It wasn’t that hard as we were quite strong. And finally I manage to learn concentration. Thx SteboonB1! ^^
El nath pq is a pq which starts in El Nath of coz. It can only be started by a warrior being him a leader. The warrior must also hav done his side of quest then he is able to start the PQ. El nath pq is about protecting Tylus, the warrior 3rd job NPC for a few minutes. Monsters such as Lycans and balrogs will spawn to atk Tylus. So we have to help the warrior to save Tylus. As a reward, skillbook for each job is dropped by those monsters. And from there, I got my dragon Pulse. I also did the Pheonix quest by getting the Pheonix egg, hatching it in Leafre and killing it. It wasn’t hard. Then lastly came the concentration skill. I also bought a lvl 20 sharp eyes skill book in FM. I didn’t really bought it but I traded it with Infinity lv 20 which I got from Papulatus that day. And I passed the lvl 20 sharp eyes. I saved 35million mesos.

Mounts
Together with the 4th job patch, Mounts are also introduced. Only 2 mounts were added, the riding pig, and the silver man. Riding pig requires a mapler to be lvl 70 to ride while silver mane is lv 120. I forgotten to capture a video of me doing the quest. It was pretty simple. One has to pay 20 million mesos for the potion to catch the riding pig located in KFT. And so after I did all the quests and paid the price, I was able to sit on the riding pig. I could now move faster. Riding pig increases your speed to 150% and jump to 120%.
I was satisfied with the riding pig. I could now move faster from one place to another place which saves up a lot of time. I could search for empty maps faster like in Anego, mini boss maps and much more. What if I could move even faster, I thought. So I decided to get the Silver mane too. I collected all the quest items which are Dragon skins from breaxton, skull and wooden shoulderpads. But this time, it costs about 50 million mesos to upgrade from the riding pig to the the silver mane. I had mesos that time so I decided to upgrade it. And yey, I hav the silver mane.
GMDFurnas came I didn’t know why. Maybe to visit me ^^. I then took a screenshot of us and my silver mane. Silver mane increases one’s speed to 170% and jump to 120%. It was great. I liked it. I then raced with a few different job maplers such as hermits and mages. Still Hermits Flash Jump are the fastest, followed by mage teleporting, then lastly me. T_T. So are the mounts good? In my opinion, it’s very good for fellow archers, bandits and warrios as we don’t posses any skill that can help us move faster except for haste. And while training at Sharks, I often get Slowed by them, but riding on the silver mane increases by speed back to normal at 170% speed. The sad thing was that one cannot use skills or items while riding on the mounts. If one doesn’t have a HP Pouch, it would be really dangerous to ride it at monster maps. You might have to dismount to pot urself. HP Pouch still works with the mounts though. Overall mounts are good. ^^

4th job against Bosses
Since 4th job is released, we will then need to hunt skill books. And most of these skill books are dropped from bosses such as Pianus, Papulatus and Zakum. So DrSinsin and a few others organized a fixed party to fight Zakum everyday and I participated. I needed skill books too. ^^
I went to a lot of boss fights. Died a few times too. But now it isn’t that bad as Bishops now have the skill to ressurect the dead. Some books dropped from these bosses are un-tradable so I have to watched what I picked. But during the 1st run I accidently picked up a wrong skill book, the Angel Ray. I had no choice but to throw it away. It was a waste.
After a few runs, my job skill book dropped from zakum. Lvl 30 Bow expert. But I didn’t have lvl 20 bow expert yet. So I kept it 1st. There were equipments and skill books too and our party was organized well so all the items were shared. It was fair to everyone in my opinion. With 12~18 ppl in the zakum party, it was alright. We managed to down all Zakums so far and none failures yet. All below 1 hour. Although there were some dishonest moments during some times but all was settled out. Thx all. It was fun.

HOT! Bowmasters vs Tengu
HOT HOT!! I’m so happy. I finally did it. I’m able to solo Tengu now as a bowmaster, with a help of a lurer of coz.
In this video I didn’t really solo it but I was capable of doing so. It was amazing. I was nervous wondering whether I’ll be able to solo it. I was at 0% at that moment as I just lvled. So it wasn’t a problem for me if I died. I was amazed at what bowmasters could do so I did this video as an inspiration to help inspire other bowmans. I didn’t die during the fight too, but it was closed though. This is one of my most favorited video. ^^. With help from DrSinSin, we were able to down Tengu fast. A scroll fell. A 30% cape for dex. I could now take my revenge on Tengus for they had killed me a lot a lot a lot in the past. =)

Others~
I also lvled up during quest hunting for the mount items. I achieved lvl 163! Yey!. Another 2 more lvls to go to 165. It won’t be that easy ><. The higher lvl one goes, the more difficult it gets. But with the help from 4th job skills, will I move faster?
I hp washed too ^^:
New cash shop items were also released:
There are so many things that I wanted to write, but just couldn’t remember them now. Too many things to do. I gotta go back searching for my skillbooks. Training to reach lvl 163. Busy busy busy~ If I remember i’ll blog them back. Okie.
Have a nice day~
