STATS’ FOR THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOURGS

Launcher Bourg

This Bourg is good, but also with some disadvantages. Launcher users will have to invest into STR to use the launcher. With STR you have higher DEF and HP than the other builds, as well as a little bit more damage then the Gun user. But, they can't dodge like the Gun Dealer due to very low or no DEX. I recommend using sapphires to further increase the CON of your character.

Your main priority should be CON, only put your STR at the minimum req. of the launcher you are using or going to use. Also keep your SEN to about half or more of your CON to get critical hits more often.

ALSO USE POISON CANNON BALLS BECAUSE OF 0 WEIGHT!!!!

STR – Minimum Launcher Req.
DEX – None/ If so very little
INT - None
CON - High
CHA - None
SEN – Medium


Gun Bourg

COMING SOON AS SOON AS I GET SOME TIPS FROM OTHER PLAYERS. PM ME ON THE FORUMS WITH YOUR TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS THAT SHOULD GO HERE!

===============================================================================

Launcher VS Gun:

Source of attack:
Launcher: 45% CON, 45% STR, 10% SEN
Gun: 50% CON, 45% DEX, 5% SEN
.

When you gun, you’ll need to add DEX for attack damage, but that amount of DEX just won’t be enough to have “miss, miss, miss” sign on top of your head as if you’re a hawker. With crappy health and defense, you will be running around like a girl when enemies start hitting you.

SKILL INFORMATION

Rating is based on my own preference, yours may vary.

Rating based on 5 stars(*)




(PASSIVE)Gunshot Mastery***** Increases Attack Power
This along with Combat Mastery should be the first two skills to buy and add points into varying on which build you plan to be.

(PASSIVE)Combat Mastery***** Increases Attack Speed
Same thing as Gunshot Mastery except it raises attack speed instead.

(PASSIVE)Economy Research***** Increases Charm Stat
Good substitute instead of adding points into charm, also Needed for many useful skills if going gatherer/discount Bourg.

(PASSIVE)Bag Pack Mastery** Increases Bag Capacity
Not useful at all, just get the minimum requirement for gathering if you plan on getting it.

(PASSIVE)Stockpile/Gathering***** Increases amount of items picked up
THIS SKILL IS THE MONEY MAKER!!!! With this skill you can get SOOO many more items, instead of picking up one or two at a time you can get as many as seven plus!.

(PASSIVE)Discount*** Decreases Cost From NPCs Stores
In the middle skill, useful for when you buy food/potions from the NPCs but if you have a Cleric following you around the food/potions aren’t needed.

(PASSIVE)Selling Trick*** Increases profit by which you sell thing
Buy low Sell High is this skills whole concept, with this you can under price your items in your personal store and still make a bigger profit than those guys overpricing the items. This skill can be a real money maker if you leave your computer on overnight selling TP scrolls/food and drink for cheaper than the NPC.

(PASSIVE)Employ Troops*** Increases Summoning Gauge
Needed for any type of mercenary, you will want to get this to the minimum requirement for your Terror Knights if you plan on using mercenaries.

(ACTIVE)Hire Mercenary Warrior*** Summons a Mercenary Warrior
Good tank for lower levels so you can kill monsters without having to worry about resting or wasting your hard earned cash on food.

(ACTIVE)Hire Mercenary Hunter*** Summons a Mercenary Hunter
Long range attacker, good damage but will be replaced by your Terror Knights.

(ACTIVE)Power Gunshot** Charges up a bolt to damage an enemy
VERY bad because of the animation… by the time it shoots you could have shot 2 or 3 regular times. Although this skill isn’t pointless, you should still max it to get the skill Sniping if going the pure damage bourg build.

(ACTIVE)Twin Shot*** Fires 2 bullets in rapid succession
Decent skill but not enough damage for the low attack power you’re at, although once you get to level 70 you can upgrade it to Triple Shot which can do a very high amount of damage.

(ACTIVE)Sniping**** Fires a bullet from afar
Decent damaging skill with a short cool down. Not as powerful as Triple Shot when all shots hit but good enough to get when you’re a pure damage Bourg.

(ACTIVE)Triple Shot**** Fires 3 Bullets in rapid succession
Good damage if you have good attack power (which you should) also from what I’ve read the skill can hit for a critical and SEN affects this.

(ACTIVE)Union Weapon** Increases Attack Speed for a short duration
This is your choice; since the duration is short it’s not worth putting it past level one.

(ACTIVE)Smash Gun*** Stuns the enemy for a short duration
Good PvP skill and can come in handy when those monsters get too close to you. Only put one point into this skill.

(ACTIVE)Aim Point** Damages the enemy from a distance
Just a weaker version of sniping, but the trade off is that this skill has the longest range over any other in the game.

(ACTIVE)Poison Pang** Poisons an enemy for a duration of time
Don’t bother getting this skill, you don’t get the exp from the poison damage and the poison ticks very slowly, maybe get for PvP but it is situational.

(ACTIVE)Zulie Pink***** Damages the enemy using Zulie
BEST attack skill you have, most damage but it does use some of your zulie to attack. This should be your main attack skill for any Bourg build.

(ACTIVE)Zulie Storm**** Damages a radius of enemies with zulie
BEST AoE spell in the entire game!!! Max this whenever you feel like it, I usually choose later rather than sooner since you have low defense early on.===============================================================================
