In 1st job, max out Arrow Blow and Eye of the Amazon first (for range and mobbing). Next max Critical Shot, then put your remaining 16 points into Double Shot (or Focus if you're already 100% 1 hitting everything).
Do job quests up until about lvl 14 for free potions, then head to Blue Ribbon pigs. In your mid 20s (24 ish), head to the Golem mini dungeon, and stay there until 30.
Were you planning on choosing the Bowmaster or Marksman path?
