Subclasses

Subclasses for Archers are the Marksman (Offensive) and the Hunter (Supportive). Marksmen have the ability to make precise shots that have temporarily increased statistics as well as deal high damage from a long range while maintaining a decent defense. The only problem is they have to deal with a relatively small mana pool, considering the cost of their skills. Hunters are able to detect realm enemies, camouflage themselves and have the highest speed, making them top scouts and trackers. Their offensive power suffers, but they can tame wild creatures to aid them in battle.

Marksman

• Aiming Mastery: Gives the marksman increased accuracy, range and damage when fighting
• Arrow Mastery: Focuses on using arrows that have special abilities, such as poison or extra damage

Hunter

• Scouting: Gives the Hunter the ability to detect monsters, allies, and enemies from other realms
• Pets: Allows the Hunter to tame beasts and enhance their pet's abilities
