Advantages and Disadvantages with PvP Crackshooters
Disadvantages
-> Very vulnerable against Mentalists and Arcanists that use wand.
-> The Attack Speed is slower than Slayers' and Seraphs'.
-> Even though you have 4800% Critical Chance, your hit rate will still not be perfect. This is the main and most important disadvantage.
-> As for March 2015, there are only a few Crackshooter equipments that people sell.
Questions and Answers
Q: Basically, FWC 3 cloak, the CC bonus at Aurum, and 1500 gm pet rabbit will suffice for the 4800% CC cap?
A:
Q: What are the key buffs to use? Can we squeeze these buff/s into the 10s respawn time in siege?
A: You are going to be using Bow Mastery, Special Bow Mastery and Farsight in Guild Siege. Bow Mastry and Farsight can be placed in the Action Slot, while Special Bow Mastery can be used buy placing it in the F-bar only. The rebuffing takes less than 10 seconds.
Q: Is it advisable to go over the 4800% barrier?
A: The answer to that question is no, because you want to increase your ICD rather than going over the 4800% (Critical Chance) barrier. However, going over this barrier does not affect your hit chance compared to if it is exactly 4800%. At least that is my own experience.
Note that this does not apply to Kumori´s guide, where having more than 4 800% Critical Chance is necessary.
Q: Is pumping stamina advisable or not?
A: No. Pumping ICD is better than Stamina. However, if you still need HP, you can always sacrifise a few hundreds of ICD and replace it with STA as well as using a GM Tiger SOPA ICD (or STA if you really need HP)
Q: Could a PvP build be used for PvE purposes? (dumb question, I know. But still.)
A: Yes it can. What you want to do is replacing the FWC Final 3 Cloak with a Zombie Hunter's Cloak, Sea King Cloak or any of the other PvE cloaks found at the Mayor of Flarine's shop.
Q: My Crackshooter does less damage than Slayers PvE wise. What to do?
A: There have always been rumors that Slayers are better than Crackshooter. In fact, it is true in most private servers and even in Webzen´s FlyFF Gold. However it has yet not been proved, or at least at the forums (my home place), that Slayers are better than Crackshooters PvE wise in Mazey FlyFF. Despite that, there are a few factors that are important to take into consideration. The most important is the question about wether dual wielding weapons like Slayers do is better than using shield/bow like Crackshooters do.
Q: Why are Crackshooter equipments and DEX blessings/awakenings so underpriced?
A: They are less popular and attractive than Seraph and Slayer equipments, which means that the sellers usually want to reduce the price of Crackshooter equipments in order to even be able to sell them.
Q: Why should we choose Crackshooters for PvP purposes?
A: The best answer I can think of for now, is the ability to easily kill other players without having to wait for the annoying Cool Downs of skills. You can easily one-shot target players with an arrow, and then move to the next victim. Crackshooters do also have the ability to use Dark Illusion (invisible skill) and Counterattack (the skill name itself explains it), which is a big tactical and defensive combat advantage. In addition, some players do also want to create a character that can both PvE and PvP. In Mazey FlyFF, the modified block/hit rate has become a really great disadvantage for Slayers, Seraphs and Crackshooters (as well as ADOCH Forcemasters), so being able to kill people from long distance is both fun and a great advantage. Imagine a player getting killed without noticing it
If there is something that is missing, needs improvement or is incorrect; leave a comment or PM me.
Note that the exact amount of Critical Chance from my two guides for non-donors and donors may not be correct. Use your own skills to make sure that you have the desired amount of CC.

About donor PvP Crackshooters
Becoming a donor (and FD) PvP Crackshooter is the greatest goal of achievement for bowmen, both for me and other "hardcore" Crackshooters. Being a donor Crackshooter does not necessarily mean that you need to donate for the items required to create your own, perfect Crackshooter, but rather just having one or more items that is bought from the Mazey FlyFF´s cash shop. The clue of becoming a successful Crackshooter is to have as much Increased Critical Damage (ICD) as possible at the same time as having as close to 4800% Critical Chance as possible (click here for information about the 4800% Critical Chance), and with the perfect build you can call yourself "The ultimate PvP Crackshooter". I will list the items that are needed to become the ultimate Crackshooter, as well as commenting and explaining why you need these items.
Stat Build
To add stat points to your character upon Level Up, simply press "H". These stat points plus the 15 stat points from the character creation will become your base stats. In Mazey FlyFF, the rates are so vast that I recommend to go for pure builds. When you build your PvP Crackshooter, you want to do the Full STA build. The reason is that the extra HP from a Full STA build are more useful than the extra attack rate from a Full DEX build. The damage loss from DEX is compensated with Increased Critical Damage (ICD) awakenings.
Stat build = Full STA
There is also something else to take into consideration. If you are not a fan of having Premium state and/nor couple buffs, then I would recommend you to go for the Full DEX build. This recommendation is to help you reach 4800% Critical Chance.
Stat build = Full DEX
Equipments
Armor
The armor you will be using is called Aurum Crackshooter Set. This piece of armor is so important that it should be the second equipment to prioritize- the first Equipment being a Donate Bow. The Aurum is such an important equipment because of its unique bonuses (as for March 2015):
=> All Stats +1000
=> 1000% Critical Chance
=> 500% Increased Attack. Although this is not that important, you get it for free along with the other bonuses.
=> 1000% Increased Critical Damage
The 1000% Critical Chance increases your chance of dealing more than 1 damage by a lot.
Armor: Aurum Crackshooter Set
Weapon and Shield
First equipment in your shopping list: Donor bow. The simple reason for this is the great amount of damage difference between Shadow Bow (the best damage dealing non-donor bow) and donor bow. Although the Critical Chance from the Aurum Set may be better to focus on getting first, donor bow is also very handy when it comes to PvE.
Weapon: Dark Soul Bow or Sacred Bow
Shield: Donor Shield
Fashions
For fashion sets, you want to save up your RP for a donor fashion set, or at least if you do not already have one. For Semi-FD Crackshooters, donor fashion set should be your third prioritation. This is because of the additional 10% and 20% PvP Damage bonus compared to vote fashions and red chip fashions.
There is also another special thing with fashion sets. There are a type of fashion sets that we call MQC fashion sets. These fashion sets, combined with a CS hair from the Animus Dungeons, will give more attack bonus than donor fashions. Although the attack bonus may sound fresh and smexy, the additional attack bonus are minimum. I believe that it is 10%, which in my opinion is not really worth it.
For mask fashion, use a mask with similar stats to this one:![[Guide] PvP Crackshooter (ICD) Flyff034](https://i.servimg.com/u/f38/19/07/23/28/flyff034.jpg)
When it comes to cloaks, you will need this one:![[Guide] PvP Crackshooter (ICD) Flyff035](https://i.servimg.com/u/f38/19/07/23/28/flyff035.jpg)
Note that it is better to have 300% Critical Chance awakening than 200%
Fashions: Donor Fashion Set, 40RP ATK/HP mask and FWC 3 Cloak
Pets
There are two types of pets in game. One of them are the pets with stats, the other one being a pick up pet. Although you can use a GM Lion Pet or GM Tiger Pet, I recommend the GM Rabbit Pet for Critical Chance and damage reasons. The GM Rabbit Pet will be your fourth item on your list or prioritations. With 1500DEX, the problems with having less than 4800% Critical Chance will be solved. As for the pick up pet, I recommend to use either a pet rewarded from GM events, or a 5RP pet from RC Merchant Wafor. These pets have the ability to give you buffs similar to Buff Pang's, unlike the pets that the Pet Tamer sells which can't buff you.
Pets: GM Rabbit Pet and GM Event Pet or 5RP pet from RC Merchant Wafor
Accessory
For accessory, you will be aiming for the donor one. This accessory will be your fith equipment to prioritize, because of the small damage (and HP) bonus it gives compared to the vote accessory. If you would like to, just stick with the vote one.
Accessory: Donor or Vote accessory
Awakenings and Piercings
Let us start off with piercings. It is quite simple, as all you need to do is piercing Mazey Cards to your weapon, shield and armor.
When it comes to awakenings, it is really up to you. The ideal awakenings on your armor, shield and weapon would be 900% Increased Critical Damage (SOPA ICD) in each of the equipments, but if you would like to build your Crackshooter economically, having 800% ICD in some or all parts of your equipments will do just fine, although you will lose 500% ICD. The reason why you lose 500% ICD and not 600%, is because it is not possible to awaken armor gauntlets with ICD lower than 900%.
For your accessory, you will need 300% Increased Critical Damage in all of the set parts. Rings, earrings and necklace. The exception being if you lack in Critical Chance, then bless one of the set parts with 300% Critical Chance.
For fashion set, you will need to have a total amount of 3600% Increased Critical Damage blessings; each part being blessed with 900% ICD (or 3x300ICD).
For mask and cloak, each of them should be 300% ICD blessed. However, if you lack in Critical Chance (lower than 4800% CC), bless your cloak with 300% Critical Chance.
When it comes to your GM Rabbit Pet, awaken it with either 800% ICD or use a Scroll of Perfect Awakening ADOCH (SOPA ICD) on it.
Tips and Tricks in PvP Situations
To be honest, this is the part of the guide where I need your help, dear reader. There have been a lot of PvP Crackshooters with experiences in PvP situation, while I have honestly not being into any real combat fights so far. I have absolutely no idea on how it is being a Crackshooter in FFA, Guild Siege and Guild War, though I have been a couple of times in Arena. Despite my lack of PvP experiences, I do know a couple of tips and tricks.
1) Never use Spirit of the Hawk if you are planning on using Dark Illusion. The reason is because there will be a blue Hawk flying above your head. This means that the enemies will know where you are hiding, thus killing you even if you are invisible. The good thing is that only a handful, or close to nobody (I believe) (as for March 2015) knows how to kill invisible Acrobats.
2) Never use Spirit of the Hawk and Eye of the Hawk if you are planning on using Counter Attack. Counter Attack is a great tactical skill against Archanists in Guild Siege and against Forcemasters in general, though it does not work with the two mentioned skills activated due to a glitch.
3) Use Eye of the Hawk and Spirit of the Hawk if you want to kill players from far distance. These two skills combined with each other are perfect with a FD Crackshooter, because you will do devastating shots from an amazingly long distance. I have heard and read that some players have succeeded dealing 1 billion damage with a single shot, which is quite insane, to be honest.
4) Use Dark Illusion as an element of surprise. You go invisible, nobody can see you... Not really much to say here.
5) Even though you got 4800% Critical Chance, be careful when you engage in battle. You are never guaranteed to actually deal damage to your target. A tip would be to cast Dark Illusion (optional) and then fully charge your arrow shot to four bars. If you are FD, hit the target and the target does not block the hit, you will likely be killing him or her.
6) Got any other tips and tricks? Leave a comment or simply PM me at the forums
7) Note that Condor Drive is a super slow skill. If your target is running around constantly, you will never be able to hit him.

About non-donor PvP Crackshooters
Congraulations on becoming a Crackshooter! Being a true non-donor Crackshooter will put you into tactical PvP situations where you must show your true strength (or Dexterity xD) in order to beat your opponents. You will face different challenges during the process of building your very own Crackshooter, and it is important to note that as a non-donor player and/or character, only your imagination can reveal the perfect way of building a character that fits your game play. This guide show you how I built my own non-donor Crackshooter that fit my type of game play: The "Kill or die" Crackshooter. This means that you should not care about HP nor Defense, but instead just getting as close to 3500% to 4000% Critical Chance and as highest amount of Increased Critical Chance as possible.
The reason why you should focus on getting 3500% to 4000% Critical Chance, is that my own experience says that at this rate, you should have a fairly good hit rate. If you wish to push the CC up to 4800%, that will be your own risk due to lack of attack rate and actual PvP damage. The most important downside having a non-donor Crackshooter is that your PvE damage will be very low.
Stat Build
To add stat points to your character upon Level Up, simply press "H". These stat points plus the 15 stat points from the character creation will become your base stats. In Mazey FlyFF, the rates are so vast that I recommend to go for pure builds. When you build your PvP Crackshooter, you want to do the Full DEX build. The reason is that Full DEX adds about 50% Critical Chance. Full STA build will not add enough HP to really make it worth it, so the Full DEX With 50% CC is the way to go!
Stat build = Full DEX
Equipments
Armor
The armor you want to be using is called Aurum Crackshooter Armor. This is not a donor armor, though 99.99% of the server's players do pay these kinds of armors with Donation Points (DP). Despite this, most non-donor players and/or characters do not use Aurum Sets due to its price. Therefore I recommend using Kalgas Set. Note that Heroe's Sets are not designed for PvP.
Armor: Kalgas Crackshooter Set
Armor: Aurum Crackshooter Set (optional)
Weapon and Shield
The weapon you will need to use is Shadow Bow. Even though Catalyst Bow has higher attack rate than Shadow Bow, the shadow one has stats that the catalyst one does not have. To be honest, it is quite strange that even the attack and Increased Critical Damage from Catalyst Bow are not good enough to beat the bonuses from Shadow Bow, but my personal experience is that Shadow Bow is better.
Although some players might consider using Black Bow, it is not recommended. The reason is that Black Bows are soul-linked and therefore cannot be sold (unless you use Unbind), in addition to the fact that Shadow Bow has higher attack rate than Black Bow.
Weapon: Shadow Bow
Fashions
The type of Fashion Sets that are the best to PvP Crackshooters is called MQC Fashion Sets. Some of these Fashion Sets have 2 parts only, which means that you can combine these sets with Lord Ichigo Gloves (+20% Attack) and any Animus Dungeon hairs with 60% Attack, 30% HP and +130 All Stats.
To be realistic, most players do not use MQC Fashion Sets, but RC Fashion Sets. These are bought buy RC Merchant Wafor and are quite good for PvP. If you got some extra RP, invest in a Vote Fashion.
For mask fashion, use a mask with similar stats to this one:
When it comes to cloaks, you will need this one:
Note that it is better to have 300% Critical Chance awakening than 200%
Fashions:
Fashion Set: Fullmetal Alchemist Set or any other Fashion Sets with 2 parts only. Combine these fashions with Lord Ichigo Gloves and an Animus Dungeon Hair.
Fashion Set: Vote Fashion or MQC Fashion or MQC Fashion Set
Mask: Any masks with similar stats to White Hipster
Cloak: FWC 3 Cloak
Pets
There are two types of pets in game. For pets with stats, you should choose Rabbits as they you 690 DEX. When it comes to pick up pets, there are a lot of pets to choose between. You can either buy the pets from the Pet Tamer or for 5RP, the RC Merchant Wafor or win a GM Event Pet (i.e. Orange Robot). I recommend buying the 5RP pets, as they can give you buffs similar to Buff Pang's.
Pets: Perfect Rabbit Lv 1/3/5/7/9
Pick up pets: Any pets from RC Merchant Wafor
Accessory
For accessory, you will be aiming for the vote. The reason behind this recommendation is that it gives better bonuses than the Attack Set, and only costs 20Vote Points only. Vote Accessory is bought from Mazey FlyFFs cash shop from the official game home page (click here).
Accessory: Donor or Vote accessory
Awakenings and Piercings
Let us start off with piercings. I would recommend piercing your armor suit with the piercing cards that give 7% Attack, from the bank manager (commonly known as banker). The reason why you shouldn't buy those piercing cards with RP from RC Merchant Gergantes, is because the small amount of Attack% that these cards give do not do any significant damage difference.
When it comes to awakenings, it is really up to you. Personally I awaked my armor boots with 800% Increased Critical Damage, armor gauntlets with 800% Critical Chance, armor suit with 800% Increased Critical Damage and armor helmet with 800% Increased Critical Damage
For your accessory, you will need 300% ICD in all of the set parts. Rings, earrings and necklace. However, if you want to be more safe with your Critical Chance%, do awaken all of the accessory parts with 300% Critical Chance.
For fashion set, you will need to have a total amount of 3600% Increased Critical Damage blessings; each part being blessed with 900% ICD (or 3x300ICD).
For mask and cloak, the mask should be awaked with 300% ICD, and the cloak 300% Critical Chance
When it comes to your pets, awake both your stat pet with at least 600% ICD and your pick up pet with 300% ICD.
I am not sure about the total amount of Increased Critical Chance you should have with the guide's recommendaions, but your Critical Chance should be about 4100% according to my poor calculations xD
Tips and Tricks in PvP Situations
1) Never use Spirit of the Hawk if you are planning on using Dark Illusion. The reason is because there will be a blue Hawk flying above your head. This means that the enemies will know where you are hiding, thus killing you even if you are invisible.

- T-Rave's/Kumori's Build:
Kumori's guide is designed for full donor (FD) players. What you are going to do is basically using the Quick guide for the lazy ones in the donor section, but switch a couple of awakenings and builds in which will be explained below:
Build:
- Full STA (For HP)
+DEX Crackshooter Helmet:
- 900% Critical Chance awakening
+DEX Donor Bow:
+900% Critical Chance awakening

- FWC Final 3 Cloak +300% Critical Chance awakening
Advantages and Disadvantages with PvP Crackshooters
Disadvantages
-> Very vulnerable against Mentalists and Arcanists that use wand.
-> The Attack Speed is slower than Slayers' and Seraphs'.
-> Even though you have 4800% Critical Chance, your hit rate will still not be perfect. This is the main and most important disadvantage.
-> As for March 2015, there are only a few Crackshooter equipments that people sell.
Questions and Answers
Q: Basically, FWC 3 cloak, the CC bonus at Aurum, and 1500 gm pet rabbit will suffice for the 4800% CC cap?
A:
- Calculation:
- Total amount of DEX = 995.9% Critical Chance:
- Donor Accessory = 1 000 DEX
- Aurum Crackshooter Set = 1 000 DEX
- Donor Accessory Set = 1 000 DEX
- Donor Weapon = 1 000 DEX
- Donor Shield = 1 000 DEX
- Donor Fashion Set = 1 000 DEX
- Total amount from Mazey Cards = 500 DEX
- Total amount from base stats = 563 DEX (+/- 3 DEX)
- Total amount from cloak and mask = 1 300 DEX
- GM Rabbit Pet = 1500 DEX
- Couple Buffs = 250 DEX (I think it is so, ain't sure though)
- Premium status = 500 DEX
=> These two are optional
- +16 DEX from armor, weapon and shield = 96 DEX
- Other DEX consumables that will not be taken into calculation
- Total amount of DEX = 9 959 DEX = 995.9% Critical Chance
Aurum Crackshooter Set = 1000% Critical Chance
FWC 3 Cloak = 1300% Critical Chance
Total amount from Bow Mastery and Farsight = 1500% Critical Chance
Total amount of Critical Chance = 4 796% = 4 800% Critical Chance (without couple buffs and premium state)
Q: What are the key buffs to use? Can we squeeze these buff/s into the 10s respawn time in siege?
A: You are going to be using Bow Mastery, Special Bow Mastery and Farsight in Guild Siege. Bow Mastry and Farsight can be placed in the Action Slot, while Special Bow Mastery can be used buy placing it in the F-bar only. The rebuffing takes less than 10 seconds.
Q: Is it advisable to go over the 4800% barrier?
A: The answer to that question is no, because you want to increase your ICD rather than going over the 4800% (Critical Chance) barrier. However, going over this barrier does not affect your hit chance compared to if it is exactly 4800%. At least that is my own experience.
Note that this does not apply to Kumori´s guide, where having more than 4 800% Critical Chance is necessary.
Q: Is pumping stamina advisable or not?
A: No. Pumping ICD is better than Stamina. However, if you still need HP, you can always sacrifise a few hundreds of ICD and replace it with STA as well as using a GM Tiger SOPA ICD (or STA if you really need HP)
Q: Could a PvP build be used for PvE purposes? (dumb question, I know. But still.)
A: Yes it can. What you want to do is replacing the FWC Final 3 Cloak with a Zombie Hunter's Cloak, Sea King Cloak or any of the other PvE cloaks found at the Mayor of Flarine's shop.
Q: My Crackshooter does less damage than Slayers PvE wise. What to do?
A: There have always been rumors that Slayers are better than Crackshooter. In fact, it is true in most private servers and even in Webzen´s FlyFF Gold. However it has yet not been proved, or at least at the forums (my home place), that Slayers are better than Crackshooters PvE wise in Mazey FlyFF. Despite that, there are a few factors that are important to take into consideration. The most important is the question about wether dual wielding weapons like Slayers do is better than using shield/bow like Crackshooters do.
Q: Why are Crackshooter equipments and DEX blessings/awakenings so underpriced?
A: They are less popular and attractive than Seraph and Slayer equipments, which means that the sellers usually want to reduce the price of Crackshooter equipments in order to even be able to sell them.
Q: Why should we choose Crackshooters for PvP purposes?
A: The best answer I can think of for now, is the ability to easily kill other players without having to wait for the annoying Cool Downs of skills. You can easily one-shot target players with an arrow, and then move to the next victim. Crackshooters do also have the ability to use Dark Illusion (invisible skill) and Counterattack (the skill name itself explains it), which is a big tactical and defensive combat advantage. In addition, some players do also want to create a character that can both PvE and PvP. In Mazey FlyFF, the modified block/hit rate has become a really great disadvantage for Slayers, Seraphs and Crackshooters (as well as ADOCH Forcemasters), so being able to kill people from long distance is both fun and a great advantage. Imagine a player getting killed without noticing it

Note that the exact amount of Critical Chance from my two guides for non-donors and donors may not be correct. Use your own skills to make sure that you have the desired amount of CC.
