Pathfinder Class Guide
Overview
Pathfinder is a subclass of the original Bowman class that was introduced in the game’s 5th job update. This class specializes in long-range combat and has a unique ability to use Ancient Bow and Arrow to enhance their skills and damage output.
The Pathfinder class has a unique resource system called “Ancient Force,” which is built up by using certain skills and can be used to enhance other skills. As they level up, Pathfinders gain access to various skills that consume Ancient Force to increase their damage output or provide other benefits.
