From these skills only Fire Trap and Fast Shot will level on.
1. Dark Armor - only put on skillbar at places with dark attacks
2. Dark Blade - mainly useful at dark weak mobs, but not useful on skillbar (though dark armor and weapon can both be toggled all the time, doesnt cost mp to sustain)
3. Surrender To Unholy - Throw it away, it's a soulbreaker skill
4. Fast Shot - keep it on skillbar, and always use it when using crossbow.
5. Warp - Keep in skillbar, very useful in pvp
6. Hard March - keep in skillbar, the extra run speed is always welcome for arbalester
7. Death Mark - throw it away, SB skill
8. Erase Mark - same as above
9. Fire Trap - mm, no suggestions on this one atm.
thx alot for the info. I must say that I have tried nearly all classes on this game but the Arbalestor is the most fun class of them all. Any idea on a good Tatoo setup. I was thinking about going +5Dex -5Con. Also what are some good solo spots from LV 40-LV61. I like to hunt places where I can kill a mob before they actually get to me. I also noticed that some Bows have Slow / Very Slow attack speed. Does this carry over to Arbalestor weapons afther they have been converted?
I would avoid using dyes for kamael in whole(for fighter stats at least). If you lose con you will get stunned way too much (my personal record if 11 times a row from stunning shot with base con as soulbreaker). Not sure where to level, maybe someone else could give you tips.

Both Slow / Very Slow Bows turns into a Slow Crossbow. Crossbows only come in slow and not very slow.
I like having +4 STR, +4 DEX, -8 CON on my Arbalester.
Yes, you become the glass pea-shooter.... but my goal is to do as much damage to the mob as possible, hopefully killing it before it gets into melee range with me.
As for places to level, I'd say around Ivory Tower (top part, not the ditch) is good in your 40s to 50s, Outlaw Forest in your 50s, and outside of Goddard in your 60s.
I was thinking the same way are about the tatoos. Me being an archer I should not worry about getting stuned like a melee DD because I will be doing ranged damage. I am level 46 right now and found a good spot outside of Cemetary. They have those Zombie mobs that I can kill before they even make it to me. I will check out the other spots you said. I am also looking for mobs with Weakness to Bow/Crossbow and Angels type mobs because with me having my Dark Toggle skill it should work good on them. Thx for the info.
Archers have stuns. I mean, if you have wars or anything, you should expect stuns. Sometimes you are just worrying about that lifestone or attribute stone that just droped, and not about what it coming up behind you...
I am only LV 48 right now so it will be awhile before I get into PVPing. Just trying to find the best Tatoo set for PVE. Also looks like Doom Light Armor is the best B Grade set for archer but I still dont like it. Should I just stick with Plated Leather till A Grade?
Plz ignore AshleyHunter's comment about a slow bow making a slow cross bow and about how cross bows only come in slow and not very slow. She/he is completely wrong and I should know, I have more archer classes than you can poke a stick at. Cross bows are very very fast and with rapid shot become even faster.
My wife used the shadow bow prior to 20 then I bought her the best d grade bow and converted it and it shoots a lot faster. When converted from a regular bow to a cross bow the damage dropped and the fire speed increased.
