CC:Change Channels Sometimes your party master wants to switch ch.

PASSes:Once you get them give to your leader.

to get these equips.

Level 1-9:Keep your starting Clothes
10-15:get the Level 10 BM set.
15-20:Keep your lvl 10 BM set or just get the hat for fun
20-25:Get the lvl 20 BM set
25-30:Get the lvl 30 set or If you want Go buy the lvl 25's.

6.Pro's And Cons

PROS:
1.Can Have REALLY high Attack power.
2.Have really cool equips that look a bit like
Cash items.
3.Decent HP/MP
4.Not too expensive
5.Don't have to manuever so much

CONS:
1.hard to train in the begining
2.Cant Jump and Attack
3.Have a really unstable ATK.
4.A little boring untill around 30ish.

7.Extra Info
How to Become a Bowman:
Once you get to level 10 and have at least 25 DEX
go to Athena Peirce In Mushroom (Henesys) Park

Becoming a Hunter/CrossBowman:
Go to Athena Piecre Talk to her and she'll
say that you look a lot stronger. Once you
do that go over to the Road to the Dungeon
henensys route and near the portal going upward
there should be a NPC talk to her and she'll transport
you into a room. (You can't get pots in there so
buy some before hand.) Collect 30 Dark Marbles from
the monsters Then talk to the one dude.
She'll Trsnport you out. Go back to Athena then
choose either hunter or crossbowman.
Congratz you became a whatever.

Why Do bowmen like Stiff Feathers so much?:
We like the feathers because we can make arrows
with the feathers. Inthe henesys market place.
