Best bows and daggers, ranked

The server's player guide splits rogues into two weapon lines. Both lists run strongest to weakest, so the top row is your endgame target.

GMRGame rogue weapons, strongest first
RankArcher (bow)Assassin (dagger)
1 Chitin Bow Dark Vane
2 Hepa Exp Iron Bow Hepas Exceptional Shard
3 Eagle's Eye Cold-Hearted Dagger
4 Quest Bow Sherion
5 Iron Bow Quest Dagger
6 - Shard

Why the order looks odd in places: the server runs a Unique Bonus system that buffs some weapons nobody used to pick, so raw AP on the tooltip doesn't tell the whole story. Weapons cap at +8 at the start.

Where the good bows and daggers drop

  • Chitin Bow: Chest Unique Box (1.79%), +6 version in Lv.5 Parchment (2.26%), +3 version in TIER-2 Weapon Box (0.51%).
  • Hepas Exceptional Iron Bow and Shard (+1): TIER-2 Weapon Box at 8.45% each. Exp items otherwise only come from Booro and Balrog in CZ.
  • Eagle's Eye (+3): Lv.4 Parchment 3.3%, Lv.3 Parchment 1.54%.
  • Dark Vane: on the Parchment 4 weapon list; +3 version 2.2% in Lv.4 Parchment, 1.79% in Chest Unique Box.
  • Cold-Hearted Dagger: +6 at 1.8% in Lv.5 Parchment, +3 at 0.84% in TIER-2 Weapon Box.
  • Sherion: Mining Box 4.66%, +3 version 2.53% in Lv.3 Parchment.
  • Iron Bow and Shard (+5): Gold Box, 9.71% each.
Short answer

On GMRGame the archer line goes Chitin Bow > Hepa Exp IB > Eagle's Eye > Quest Bow > Iron Bow, and the assassin line Dark Vane > Hepas Exceptional Shard > Cold-Hearted Dagger > Sherion > Quest Dagger > Shard. Archers farm Ape and Uruk; assassins use Tyon, Cardinal and Grell.

Rogue starter set: two daggers, no bow

You land on the main server at level 1 with 25,000 coins. The rogue kit hands you two Sword Breakers (+5) and 2000 arrows, but no bow, so an archer's first bow comes from the quest weapon or a drop.

The rest of the kit: two Assassin Earrings, two Assassin Rings, Warrior Pendant, Body Belt, the War helmet, pauldron, pads, gauntlets and boots, Alencia Wings and Offline Merchanting. On top of that the launch banner lists 1000x potions, a Basic Royal Set and a quest weapon.

Archer farm spots

Ape is the archer's best mob in EMC-LFC and sits 4th on the overall income list. After that come the Uruk family, Treant/Ancient and Skeleton, which you share with mages. Over in Eslant, your slot is Evil Wizard.

  • EMC-LFC: Ape, Uruk family, Treant/Ancient, Skeleton
  • Eslant: Evil Wizard
  • Open to every class: Tyon (anti-AFK), Cardinal, Grell

Where do assassins farm?

The farm table doesn't name a single mob for assassins. Dagger rogues go to the all-class mobs instead: Tyon, Cardinal and Grell. Tyon is ranked first overall and tagged as the anti-AFK mob.

Rogue Chitin Shell and damage reduction

Key class armors on GMRGame reduce incoming damage once you wear at least 3 pieces of the set. Each piece adds 2% at REB 3, 3% at REB 4 and 4% at REB 5. REB here is the item's reverse grade, not character rebirth.

Rogue Chitin Shell (+5) pieces drop from CR Box and Gold Box, and the +6 pieces from Lv.3 Parchment, which is the parchment known for +6 Warrior and Rogue Shell sets. The weapon notes also mention a 5% buff on Chitin Shell after +3 REB.

Archers in CR and PvP

Solo CR kill targets depend on class: archer team and warrior are standard, while mages need 10-15% more kills. CZ Party War ranks Mage and Melee parties separately. Still picking a class? The class guide compares them for farming and PK.

FAQ

Archer or assassin on GMRGame?
The server gives each its own weapon list and doesn't rank one over the other. The practical difference is farming: archers have dedicated mobs, assassins use the shared ones.
Chitin Bow or Eagle's Eye?
Chitin Bow is rank 1, Eagle's Eye rank 3, with Hepa Exp Iron Bow in between.
How many Rogue Chitin Shell pieces do I need?
The damage reduction only kicks in from a 3-piece set. The -10% on the tooltip is a +3 reverse pauldron.
What does an assassin use at level 1?
The two Sword Breakers (+5) from the starter kit. The first real steps up the dagger list are Shard and then Quest Dagger.
