Scout General Leveling Guide
Early Game Leveling
Preface:
Scout is a ranged high-dps, glass-cannon (very very squishy) class. So don't be surprised if you get one-shotted by random mob. Just respawn, heal and go back grinding.
Some things to be kept in mind if scout is your first class:
As strafing volley is your main dps skill, using macro is highly recommended (use AHK or any macro software; they're legal in this game).
Mp sustain is your first priority, as spamming volley is your main way of levelling. Arrow shower and volatile bolt does a ton of damage, but using them will further worsen your mp sustain issue. Some idea to solve this is:
Put some int stat early on, you can reset your stat whenever you like at town. So don't be afraid to go for some int if you have mp sustain early.
Mp cost-x%, Mp regen+x%, Mp+x% stat roll on your chest and legwear gear.
Treant Minion Autumn Card: Mp: +20 and Mp Regen +15% (drops from treant on treant trail, very easy to farm)
Treant Tree Autumn Card: Mp: +20% (drops from mob as above map)
Bat Card: Mana on kill (per 50 int): +20(best if you farm lower level mobs)
Eyeball Blue Mage Card: Mana on hit (per 50 int): +3 Mp: -50% (from high-end mob, best to buy them from other for up to 500k)
Bat Lord Card: Mana on hit (per 50 int): +3 (mvp drop, this should be your end-game goal for mp sustain)
Levels 1 - 50:
Skill Priority:
Early on, you would want to level these active skills (Haste, Strafing Volley, Arrow Shower, Volatile Shot) on level 1 so that mp cost is low, max your bow passive first instead, and mp sustain passive. Level your strafing volley according to your mp sustain.
Stat Priority:
- Put some int if you have mp sustain issue, if you have some gear/card recommended above and have no mp issues, just go full dex.
- Dex is your first stat to be maxed.
- Agi 2nd
- Int for MP, then rest to LUK.
Recommended Maps:
- Sunny Meadows, just whack any mob here for some early levels. Look for chick mob, Chick Card is very OP early on. Use them on your weapon if you got em, but it's not a must.
- Treant Trail, farm here a bit for Mp cards mentioned above.
- Windy Desert, farm your armor set here (Windstrider set). Some desireable roll on your armor set as scout is
- Chest: Dex3, Mp%+, Damage from Magic%-
- Legwear: Dex3, MpCost%-, MpRegen%+
- Shoes: Dex3, Atk Spd%, Move Spd%+

A lot of this information comes from conversations on Discord. Mostly if not all credited to Bunny (Rhythm).
Class Introduction:
In my opinion (1BlankPage) Scout is in a below average space right now. This MMO is a grinding game, if we can't mob because our class is a single target DMG dealer, we should be able to kill 10 single target monsters as fast as a paladin can mob and kill 10 taunted monsters. But this doesn't seem like the case unless you have end game gems (element damage %). Paladins, Acolytes, Summoners, some other classes can solo end game bosses and summoners don't even have their advance classes yet. Yes, scout does the most single target damage but I don't believe their slightly above average single target damage justifies how squishy and prone to death they are.
However, scout is by far my favourite class of the bunch. If you enjoy kiting, focused gameplay i would 100% recommend scout!
Skills Priority:
Strafing Volley = Auto Strafe = Precision Aim = Steady Hands = Increased Recovery
Volatile Bolt - Lv 10 - AOE quick casting skill. All of the damage is instant.
Arrow Shower - Lv 10 - AOE DOT skill
Mark Target - Lv 5 - for those stubborn elite monsters
Flee - Lv ? - Just make sure you're at or close to 95% dodge rate. I use it at lv 4.
Force Shot - Optional, for farming I leave this at lv 1 just for utility
Slow Trap - Optional, for farming I leave this at lv 1 just for utility
Sniper's Nest - Lv 5 - Optional, for boss fights if you have a tank
Increased Health - If i have any extra points i just shove it in here.
Gems, in order of priority:
Strafing Volley - Windy Desert (Lv 21-25)
Volatile Bolt - Underground Cavern (Lv 86-90)
Arrow Shower - Abyss Castle Keep (Lv 101-105)
Force Shot - Goblin Cave (Lv 51-55)
If you have the Bloodfang or Soulfang gem, replace Force Shot.
Recommended Map:
- Unlike other classes, you may find it difficult to farm monsters your level. Up to level 120, i was farming Forgotten Depths trying to get the perfect Archer's Bead and Boss summons.
- Fairy Glen (Lv 31 - 35) - Oak bow is currently the end game weapon
- Forgotten Depths (Lv 46-55) - Great place to farm since the mob density is very high. You can get many of archer's gear here. Drooping Bat, Archer's Bead, Bat Lord Boss Summon for Bat Lord card & Soulfang Gem.
- Swamp Wilderness (61-65) - Purely EXP grind spot, great mob density
- Sanctum of Light (Lv 81-85) - Purely EXP grind spot, The 2nd room has great mob density.
- Underground Cavern (Lv 86-90) - Bloom Card & Nightfang Stud to sell or to use
- Dark Forest (Lv 96 - 100) - If you're up for it, this area will drop your end game Artifact (Corporeal Set). You can also look out for Voidthreads for an alternative endgame build (Precision Plate + Voidthreads + Direwolf Shoes)
Stat Priority:
- DEX > AGI > LUK
Recommended Mid-Level Gear
Build explanation:
All of the gear listed below are obtainable through farming certain maps in this level range. However, some of the recommended cards are a lot more difficult to obtain, and are technically optional.
The Element% dmg card on your weapon depends on the map you're going to, always swap the element that would benefit you the most.
Death Mage card - Gives you cloaking lv1, this is a boss card that you'll most likely buy from another player. It's basically a get out of jail free card. Completely optional, but if you don't like dying this would be your best bet (or get good at rolling). While waiting to get this card, you can just use another horror card (crit dmg).
Bat Lord Card - +3 MP on hit, this is also a boss card. Killing the bat lord is possible with practice. This card is all you need if you have mp regen skill passive maxed. In the mean time you can wear the Drooping Bat for your MP needs.
Mosquito Stinger Card - Lv 5 Haste, Very QOL. Optional. If you're looking to solo i would run this card. If you have buddies that can buff you on the regular you don't need this card. If you're having troubles finding this card you can also use Phantom Mask however you'll won't have HP leech and this specific item doesn't give you a card slot.
Alternatives:
Accessory - Nightfang Stud (HP Leech), can replace Death's Grin with Runeborn Visor
Advancing this build to end game would be:
Corporeal Artifact set > Archangel Card or another element % dmg on weapon (replacing range dmg%)
Bloodfang gem > replace Death's Grin with Runeborn Visor
Precision Gauntlet > replaces one of the archer beads (Keep the bat lord card)
End Game Build:
Crimson Crest - Cosmic Entity Card (BOSS)
Runeborn Visor - Housefly Junk Card OR Horror Card
Quiver of Thorns - Horror Card OR Death Mage Card (BOSS)
Oak Bow (Range% > Crit Dmg% > Att% > Crit) - Element% Card, Double Bloom Card
Precision Chest (HP% > Def > Magic Dmg > Melee Dmg) - Treant Tree Evergreen Card
Precision Greaves (Flee > your choice i use HP Leech) - Shell Robot Card
Precision Shoes (DPS: Att Speed & Cast Speed.... Comfort: Att Speed & Move Speed) - Hare Card (BOSS)
Precision Gauntlets
Arcane Gloves OR Archer's Bead - Bat Lord Card (BOSS)

Tips and Tricks
You can actually auto attack while using other skills like Strafing Volley. Click the enemy before you use any skills, auto attacking also triggers Auto Strafe.
