Just a few tips for scouts based on my experience.

First piece of advice, DONT POWER LEVEL TOO MUCH. im leaving for the states wednesday morning kaya medyo nagmadali ako mag pa 35.

try as much as possible to max your PTs. if you're lazy, focus on LR, DEF, and SHIELD.

spam your skills, melee buffs and LR buffs to increase your FP faster.

scouts primary weapons are bows, guns, throwing knives. i recommend the launcher only for the armor and for sniping. (the fast shot + mid skill combo is ALMOST the equivalent of gunners' skills)

what weapon to choose at level 30? lightning gun or siege bow? try to get intense of BOTH. use elemental arrows for the siege bow, and energy mags for the lightning gun. GIGA elemental arrows can ba made by specialists. this brings me to my next point, MAKE FRIENDS WITH SPECIALISTS. with their help you'll be able to take down enemies faster. if an enemy has high resistance to all elements, just switch to your gun

i suggest dont start hunting right when you reach level 30. go for 31 so your armor has more magic def + the .2 movement increase. the 29 armor only has +.1 movement speed. try as much as possible to wear int equips, and have 25/25 elemental resistance accessories.

one question most scouts ask is, "minsan di kumakagat cloak ko", "sometimes my cloak doesnt work right away". if you're cloaked and you cancel your invisibility by attacking or using a buff, this happens. try as much as possible to wait until your cloak is gone before you strike so you can cloak right away.

scouts kill using the ranger mid skills. gunners cant use ranger midskills with their launchers. Aiming shot = guns and throwing knives, Multi Shot for bows and crossbows.

try to upgrade your equipment with talics. do this only with level 30+ equips, its a waste if you upgrade anything less. theres a talic guide in the main RF Online Gold forums. wisdom talic = head(decrease casting time), mercy =landing((increase dodge), belief = gloves (adds hp and aiming ability) etcetc, check the guide im not sure kasi. go for ignorant talics on your weapons.

now you may wonder why should you upgrade your shield, lets say you're hunting other races and your being chased by melee characters, equipping an int shield for your level gives you that much more def. BUT if being chased by magic users, -20 to all resistance so i dont suggest it. using your shield also reduces the chances of enemy attacks to miss. having a shield handy if nice for that added "kunat" factor. example: you're faced with a mau, equip your shield and just stand there. the MAU will eventually just leave you alone. if the MAU calls for backup, just move away and cloak
