Secondary Class Guides
Hunter is the ranged second-class continuation of 
Archer, adding trap control, falcon support, and stronger bow-focused farming to the class line. On Age of Ymir, that means clean progression into tools like 
Blitz Beat, 
Ankle Snare, and trap damage from 
Claymore Trap.
Hunter still values high DEX for ranged damage and accuracy, then branches depending on playstyle into VIT for safer Arrow Shower farming, INT for trap scaling, or AGI plus LUK for falcon-driven auto-attacks. It remains one of the cleanest ranged paths into 
Sniper.

Details
Hunters are versatile ranged second classes that can stay purely bow-focused, add strong trap control, or lean into falcon-based damage for lower-cost farming.

Builds
Arrow Shower Hunter
This remains the most straightforward Hunter leveling route. It keeps the Archer core of Arrow Shower and scales it with better bows, stronger ammunition, and much safer field control from Ankle Snare.
High DEX remains your main damage and HIT stat, VIT keeps larger pulls stable, and a moderate amount of INT helps with SP recovery for repeated skill spam. This is also the cleanest route if you want to keep using elemental 
arrows and 
quivers.
Trap Hunter
This route is built around 
Land Mine, 
Freezing Trap, 
Blast Mine, and Claymore Trap for elemental trap damage and strong pull control.
Trap damage scales from DEX and INT, so the build can safely use more defensive gear while still clearing clustered monsters efficiently. Ankle Snare is what makes the whole setup practical, since it gives you time to layer or chain traps cleanly.
Blitz Beat & Auto-Attack
This is the lower-cost Hunter route for players who want to rely on falcon damage instead of constant arrow consumption. Blitz Beat provides the core damage, while Steel Crow and 
Falconry Mastery turn the falcon package on.
DEX still holds the ranged core together, AGI improves ASPD and Flee, and LUK increases the chance of auto-proc falcon attacks when using a bow. It levels slower than Arrow Shower, but it is more economical and comfortable for solo play.
Skills
| Icon | Skill | Max Level | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Passive | 10 | Raises damage against Brute and Insect monsters and unlocks the falcon branch. |
| Passive | 1 | Enables Falcon rental and is the requirement for the Hunter falcon toolkit. |
| Falcon | 5 | Hunter’s defining falcon attack, with manual use and automatic proc potential on bow attacks. |
| Passive | 10 | Directly increases falcon damage and is mandatory for any serious Blitz Beat route. |
| Trap | 5 | Strong control trap that locks targets in place and makes ranged or trap-based farming far safer. |
| Trap | 5 | AoY-tuned earth trap with INT and Base Level scaling, making it a real damage tool for trap Hunters. |
| Trap | 5 | Water-element trap that adds freeze control while still dealing AoY-scaled trap damage. |
| Trap | 5 | Timed wind trap with AoY-exclusive scaling that fits well into higher-control trap setups. |
| Trap | 5 | Fire splash trap for clustered packs, and the strongest visual payoff in the trap branch. |
 | Utility | 4 | Uses the Falcon to reveal hidden targets from a distance. |
 | Utility | 5 | Lets the Falcon remove placed traps from range, adding convenience and tactical cleanup. |
 | Quest | 1 | Quest skill that fires a wind-element magic arrow without consuming ammunition and knocks the target back. |
Equipment
For early beginners on AoY, the 
Eden Group Equipment Quests remain the cleanest entry point. Hunter scales well from free bow progression, then branches into Hunter Bow, trap utility, or falcon-focused accessory/card upgrades depending on the build you choose.
| Equipment | Description |
|---|---|
 Hunter Bow is the signature official quest reward at Job 50 and pairs best with  Hunting Arrow for strong ranged damage. | |
![Hunter Bow [1]](https://static.divine-pride.net/images/items/item/1726.png){kind=small} Hunter Bow [1] is the stronger long-term version if you want to slot ranged damage cards like  Archer Skeleton Card. | |
| Keeping Hunting Arrow Quivers and other elemental arrow stock on hotkeys makes Hunter much safer and smoother during long grinding sessions. | |
 Eden Bow II and  Eden Group Bow III remain strong free progression options if you do not want to rely on Hunter Bow alone. | |
Accessory slots are usually where budget Hunter tuning starts.  Zerom Card, Archer Skeleton Card, and  Pupa Card are all practical upgrades depending on whether you need DEX, ranged damage, or more survivability. | |
Cheap sustain is still important for Hunters that mob heavily.  Nepeta Cataria and  Fresh Fish are efficient recovery items to keep on hand for Arrow Shower and trap farming. |

Leveling
| Level Range | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 55-70 |  Roween is a strong bow target once your Hunter damage stabilizes. If you are still bridging out of Archer gear, keep the Eden Group bow path active. | |
| 70-85 |  Raydric Archer is a standard ranged target here, while Eden Group Leveling Quests also support this stretch cleanly. | |
| 85-99 |  Anubis is the classic late-game ranged leveling target. As alternatives, AoY’s quest flow also keeps  Dark Priest and Roween relevant through Eden routes. |
Job Change
You can become a Hunter once your Archer reaches Job Level 40 or 50. On Age of Ymir, you have two practical routes:
| Route | What You Get | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Official Hunter Quest | Official Hunter access through the Hugel guild process, including the personality test, item collection, and hunting tasks. Reaching Job 50 also grants a Hunter Bow, which pairs especially well with Hunting Arrow. | Go to the Hunter Guild in Hugel. This is the better route if you want the classic test flow and the Job 50 bow reward. |
 AoY Job Master | Immediate Hunter advancement and automatic quest/platinum skills through  Job Master. | The Job Master route is the convenience option for second classes. It skips the official Hugel test chain and does not add a separate secondary-class reward bundle. |
Recommendation
- Take the official route if you want the Hugel guild process and the Job 50 Hunter Bow.
- Use the AoY Job Master if you want to skip directly into Hunter and keep your progression moving.
