    Thanks ShYGuY154 for helping out with the Hero’s Will question :)

  2. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi WinterWolf, Hero’s Will is obtainable through Carta quest. Open up the World Map and find the NPC by their name to locate their position.

    1) Talk to Cheif Tatamo at Leafre.
    2) Then talk to Carta the Purple Witch at Aqua Road Cave.
    3) Use Miniature Pianus to get in the map to find the the little black rocks (you need 40 of them)
    4) Repeat 3 until you have 40 total.
    5) Turn in the rocks to Carta who says she wants her Mithril Braclet back.
    6) Go see Eurek the alchemist about fixing the bracelet.
    7) Hunt Griffey to get the battered bracelet.
    8) Take the battered bracelet and 10 mithril plates to Eurek to get the shiny new Mithril Braclet.
    9) Give the braclet to Carta who will give you a potion.
    10) Drink the potion to gain the Hero’s Will skill

    Hi Ayumi! I opened up a Wild Hunter’s Mystery Mastery Book, and got Marksman Boost 20. Do Wild Hunters use Marksman Boost? Thanks in advance! :)

  4. ShYGuY154 on said:

    No problem! :D
    To get Hero’s Will, there’s a quest in Leafre by Chief Tatamo (forgot what it was called), but it requires you to go to Aqua Road and talk to this sea witch. You enter into a timed map via Pianus Statue, from Pianus the big fat fish himself, to collect 50 pieces of courage (may take multiple trips). After completing it, you go to Eureka the Alchemist to make some plates (which, I forgot again) to give him for something. Go back to the sea witch to get a drink that teaches you Hero’s Will.

  5. WinterWolf on said:

    Thanks for answering my previous question. I have another question. I can’t seemed to find Hero’s Will on my list of skills for fourth job. Do you think it’s because of the updates Maplestory made or do I have to do something like a quest to get it?

  6. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks ShYGuY154 for answering the Soul Arrow question :D

  7. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi blazeman22, Soul Arrow is really helpful. Read ShYGuY154 explanation below which answers your query in detail :D

  8. ShYGuY154 on said:

    Really, what’s wrong with Soul Arrow? It saves the usage of arrows by sacrificing a small amount of MP for unlimited arrows, without consumption of the arrows themselves. This allows for more inventory space that would have been filled with arrows if you did not use Soul Arrow, especially when using moves like Wild Arrow Blast or Hurricane that consumes up to 8 arrows a second, for other vital things like potions.

  9. blazeman22 on said:

    is soul arrow really that helpful?

  10. Ayumilove on said:

    Sorry collis, I missed your comment while skimming through the comments. There isn’t sufficient SP (Skill Points) to max all the skills. If you don’t find yourself using Blind often, channel skill points into Wild Trap.

  11. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Blazeman22, I personally own a Wild Hunter and during my job advancement from 1st to 4th, I rarely used Enduring Fire at all. The other skills outdamage Enduring Fire and later on in 4th Job, you will use Wild Arrow Blast for mostly all boss raids. If you see yourself using Enduring Fire often, go ahead and max it or perhaps add some SP (Skill Points) into it. But I recommend no SP in it at all.

  12. Blazeman22 on said:

    wait please explain why no points in enuring fire(3rd job skill) i would assume that would be one of the classes’ main attack skills. plz explain

  13. collis on said:

    .Ayumilove any advice for me ? Appreciate alot. thanks :)

  14. collis on said:

    WH 3rd job listed there Everything maxed except Enduring Fire and Wild Trap. howcome not maxed wild trap? i though it very useful for WH while soloing any mob or boss ? instead maxed blind which LV10: 30 MP, Buff lasts 160 sec. 30% chance to blind enemy for 10 sec. Blind effects are -20% Accuracy, -50% Enemy Defense & Boss monsters will only have their Accuracy impaired.

    any advice for me pls. thanks :D

  15. SwiftWaif on said:

    Ok, thanks. I guess I just have to hope that some time in the near future they may offer another SP reset again.

  16. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi SwiftWaif, without Final Attack, you lose tons of DPS (Damage Per Second) as a Wild Hunter. Killing a boss now feels like ages without the extra damage. You can only use SP from 2nd Job to max Final Attack, not SP from 4th Job I believe. Therefore, purchase SP Reset 2nd Job Skill from Cash Shop but that will cost you an arm and a leg for 20 SP Final Attack unless you are rich (money isn’t an issue), or perhaps recreate another Wild Hunter :D

  17. SwiftWaif on said:

    I recently got back to playing Maple again, and was surprised to see my SP reset again due to the introduction of new skills, however, i messed up my skill build and now I don’t have Final Attack mastered and as a result I am unable to learn Advanced Final Attack when I’m at 4th job so the question is will I still be able to assign any SP to my 2nd job skills ? It only allows me to add them to my 4th job skill list.

  18. Ng Sze Jie on said:

    Thanks Alot Ayumilove !! :D

  19. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks lmogumogu for the correction! I’ll be updating Enduring Fire Skill Description :)

  20. lmogumogu on said:

    I thought Enduring Fire shoots 5 arrows?

  21. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi WinterWolf, Enduring Fire is the least useful for training and boss soloing. When I train my Wild Hunter, I only spam Dash n Slash + Swipe during my 3rd Job since its far more efficient and effective when eliminating multiple mobs and being able to move across the map + recover some health. For boss soloing, you could use Swipe + Wild Arrow Blast (4th Job Skill). You could add 1 SP (Skill Point) into it to play around with that skill but that means 1 SP less from other essential skill. If you are willing to remove 1 point from Swipe or Dash n Slash, then go ahead with it, it will not detrimentally effect your leveling speed.

  22. WinterWolf on said:

    Why should Enduring Fire not have any SP added to it?

  23. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Ng Sze Jie, for me I got my Jaira in less than 5 minutes, maybe I’m lucky? Basically you need to use your arrow to knock one of the cat to critical health and catch it with your Beginner Net Skill.

  24. Ng Sze Jie on said:

    Hi Ayumi how long do i have to camp to get my jaira?

  25. collis on said:

    hi, Wild Hunter 3rd Job Skill Build: Everything maxed except Enduring Fire and Wild Trap.
    Howcom except wild trao ? i though wild trap was a useful skill for WH while solo boss instead of maxed blind.? blind 30% chance to blind enemy for 10 sec. Boss monsters will only have their Accuracy impaired.. any advice for me ?? thank !

  26. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks for the note coldmiller21 :)

  27. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi ColdMiller21, the -20% damage should be receiving less 20% damage from enemies.

  28. coldmiller21 on said:

    Also I wish I recorded it but you can catch SNow White Jaguars in the jaguar habitat at least at the moment I got one last night ^_^

  29. coldmiller21 on said:

    question whats the -20% damage on call of the wild mean? unsure really

  30. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks xXDuckyClaimerXx for spotting the missing skill info :)

  31. xXDuckyClaimerXx on said:

    Why is there no call of the wild in 2nd job? You need to fix that :)

  32. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Em, I have fixed it and remove the duplicate skill :)

  33. Em on said:

    Oh Ayumi, you misunderstood me! I guess I expressed it wrong :P I meant in the skill build distribution points it’s missing advanced final attack. Just appears to put 1 SP.
    I’m quoting your skill build so you can see:
    “Wild Hunter 4th Job Skill Build: Everything maxed.
    1. Add 1 SP into Wild Arrow Blast, Advanced Final Attack, Crossbow Expert, Wild Instinct.
    2. Add 1 SP into Sonic Roar, Exploding Arrows.
    3. Max Crossbow Expert, Sharp Eyes, Wild Instinct, Wild Arrow Blast.
    4. Max Maple Warrior, Exploding Arrows, Sonic Roar, Stink Bomb Shot, Hero’s Will.”

    And it was there in the description of 4th Job Skills, so now it’s duplicated!

  34. I just parked at B1 on said:

    I ply mplesea and 2nd job got Jaguar Oshi y here dun have de??? and silver hawk oso dun have…

  35. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Em, thanks for the notice! I have added Advanced Final Attack Skill into the guide :)

  36. Em on said:

    Ayumi, read my post up there please :P

  37. Gunzero on said:

    Thank you

  38. Em on said:

    Gunzero, Concentrate is in the skill build after Feline Berserk -> “2. Max Jaguar Boost, Swipe, Feline Berserk, *Concentrate*”

  39. collis on said:

    it is the Feline Berserk gltich when mounted on the snow white jaguar. i found at google some of they wildhunter also facing the same problem but duno whether is it been solved. Hope maplesea can solve this soon :(

  40. Gunzero on said:

    Hi, I am Lv95 wild hunter but i cant see Concentrate in my 3rd job skill, why?

  41. Em on said:

    Hi Ayumi! I was checking the 4th Job skill build and you forgot there to put when to max Advanced Final Attack :) Cya!

  42. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Collis, make sure your archer is mounted on the Jaguar to perform Feline Berserk. Try placing the Feline Berserk into your quick slot to see the cooldown (2 minute 30 seconds). And check whether you have sufficient MP to cast Feline Berserk :)

  43. collis on said:

    howcome my Feline Berserk kept cant use one ? it show out you may not use the skill yet. but there cooldown had aldy finished. it seem like got bug ? currently play at maplesea

  44. asdfjkl; on said:

    hello

  45. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi jimaila, you should make Kaiser, Demon Slayer, Mercedes or Kanna as your main. They do pack a punch and farm nice meso and goodies easily especially Kanna. Kaiser for obvious reasons is very tough tanker and hits very strong.

  46. jimaila on said:

    Do u thin I should make my wildhunter my main?>

  47. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Coldmiller21, I think there isn’t sufficient SP (Skill Points) in maxing out Enduring Fire. And Enduring Fire is a filler skill. Its not efficient to use for training purposes.

  48. coldmiller21 on said:

    Sorry for double comment but im confused, so Why isnt enduring fire used at all in your build? is there not enough skill points or what? just curious

  49. coldmiller21 on said:

    I got mine around 2-3 AM in the morning just go through all the channels.

  50. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Cheaster, what are you referring spawn time to?

  51. Cheaster on said:

    do u noe the spawn time ?

  52. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Fire. Which Maplestory server are you currently playing? The guide above is updated to sync with GMS skill table with Tempest Update.

  53. Fire on said:

    Urm 2nd job skill does not have sliver hawk!!! Pls update…

  54. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Cheaster, its really simple! I have added a video into this guide on how to catch Jaira.

    Procedures:
    1. Talk to Belle at Resistance Headquarters: Secret Plaza.
    2. Then talk to Black Jack in the same map to enter Hidden Street: Jaguar Habitat.
    3. Reduce Jaira’s health (black cat) around 10-20% by hitting it with your regular attacks or skill. Make sure to eliminate any other cats that are nearby as they will interfere with the capture.
    4. Use the skill Capture to tame one of the Tamable Jaguar.

  55. Cheaster on said:

    so how u get jaira n when ? i spend so much time still cant get it

  56. Ayumilove on said:

    Hello hi, people have different measure in terms of godly scrolled. For me, if the an equipment item stats that have at least 7 x 60% scroll passes in stats or equivalent (using the hammered slots) with great potential stats (like +12% Attack, +30% damage, 12% all stats), then its very powerful = godly.

  57. Hi on said:

    What does it mean by godly scrolled equipment ?

  58. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi 日才猫 and ml tan, Wild Hunter 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Job Skill Build Guide has been updated.

  59. 日才猫 on said:

  60. ml tan on said:

  61. Karli on said:

    Great build! Thanks, it’s helped a lot. Sadly, I’m not quite a fast leveler because of all my other characters. My Wild Hunter is only Level 50, but thanks anyway! XD
