Introduction
Hello! Some of you may already know me (from previous servers), but if not, you will. My name is Hurt Locker, I'm a WH main, been in GemstoneRO for a long time. I designed this guide not only to update previous guides, but also to offer a fresh perspective on the job based on my experience and acquired knowledge. I hope you find it useful and... enjoy it!
Always check the market (prices may vary) and the final damage depends on your build and equipment (progress is different and everyone goes at their own pace, you have to support each other).
Hidden Tips/Damage Boost
There are ways to increase your damage, do you know which ones? Even some old stuff still works
| Gears/Consumables | Note |
|---|---|
| It's all you need to boost your damage (the best arsenal at your disposal) | |
| Perfect card combo for neutral objectives, Hol, CT for example (Super necessary for party. You can't leave home without it) | |
|
If you lack critical rate, these are your options
|
|
It doesn't have much mystery, more damage for a few seconds (if the PC allows it; if not, skip) |
Late Game Gears
Now the questions will be answered. What is the WH late game? Here it is
| Gear | Note |
|---|---|
|
+15 [A] |
If you ask me, this is the best hat to date in terms of damage and ignoring res (10%). It's a huge investment and is only focused on Crescive Bolt, the only compatible build (Gale Storm can do it too, if you don't mind losing some spam).
|
|
+15 [A] |
It's a good hat, even if you're just starting out late game. It grants you crit rate, fixed damage, and combos with your weapon (either dimension or time gap).
|
|
+15 [A] |
Hat Late Game, its enormous potential will determine if you want to further refine the Gale Storm build. Recommended? Only if you like mini-maxing.
|
|
|
It all depends on whether or not you have a version of Kiel (to go for ACD or Dmg). |
|
|
you can change it for the  Ace of Clovers in Mouth (Defense) (420269) if you want some survival
|
|
+15 [A] |
The best armor for a long time |
|
+15 [A]
|
BIS bow for Crescive Bolt Build. Now, in the case of using  Yorscalp Crown of Execution [1] (400723) yes or yes, you must use one  Epesto Walther Megas Card (300595) + Polluted Wander Man Card (27361) x2 or any Card. It needs near-perfect enchantments to be BIS; otherwise, it's Dimension Bow.
|
|
+15 [A] |
God bow for Crescive Bolt Build. Now, in the case of using Yorscalp Crown of Execution [1] (400723) yes or yes, you must use one Epesto Walther Megas Card (300595) + Polluted Wander Man Card (27361) or any Card.
|
|
+15 [A] |
BIS bow for the Gale Storm build, allowing for near-instant spamming. It's great for Dep2 or for farming Venom/Temple. |
|
+15 [A]

BIS bow for the Gale Storm build, allowing for near-instant spamming. It's great for Dep2 or for farming Venom/Temple. It needs near-perfect enchantments to be BIS; otherwise, it's Time Gap Bow. |
|
+14/+15 [A] |
The garment income alone significantly increases everything (it affects your total by 40%). A lot of grinding and patience. |
|
+14/+15 [A]
|
Here you can see the cards I recommended earlier Based on the tests provided by GM Icecold,  Dimension World Crystal (Volition) (313932) is the best option for the WH, as the difference with  Dimension World Crystal (Will) (313938) is less than 1% in any skill. Depending on your preferences, you can choose either one.

[MVP] Ranger Shecil Card (4676) , 
[MVP] Yortus Arbiter Card (300530) , 
[MVP] Snow Angel Card (300473) and 
Fireloop Card (300637) .
Now you're wondering, who's better? Just look at this (Any option is good. Btw in this test is with all gears +15)

4th Job Stats (Traits)
- POW 105+
- STA 0+
- WIS 0+
- SPL 0
- CON 70+
- CRT 105+
*POW and CRT are the most important, you can distribute the remaining points to STA or WIS (CON is more damage/flee, it's your decision).
Costume Stones
The recommended stones have changed over time with the arrival of the 4th job stones. These are the best combination:
| Stones | Stones for x1 | Other options |
|---|---|---|
Shadow Gears
We already know the classic Shadow Gear, but there are variations. Want to see them?
| Gears | Note |
|---|---|
The standard set has not changed much, if you require more acd you have +10  Separate Reload Shadow Shield (24746)
| |
The best Shadow gear for WH has finally arrived. It's not too mysterious, it meets the 50% ACD requirements, and you should definitely use it  Mistress Egg (9193) .
| |
|
Why is the Fatal Set incomplete? To take advantage of Thanatos and we take advantage of that 10% Bypass Res (20% with hat, 35% with Demonic Wing), 0% Bypass defense, Size Penalty and Immunity Knock-Back. |
Build Traps Late Game Gears (Meme Build)
By popular demand, I bring you this WH variant (you can be a Hybrid with a good setup). The damage? Well, decent actually.

Crescive Bolt Vs Gale Storm |
Each build serves its purpose: one is perfect for single-target, ideal for MVPs or concentrating damage, while the other is for AoE to clear large groups of enemies. But what about the damage difference between the different builds? Here it is:
NOTE:This includes all the recommended options from the guide; this helps clarify any doubts and determine the best option. The final decision is yours.
You might be wondering, why Yorscalp Crown for Gale Storm? Well, it provides a significant damage boost thanks to the resistance omission. The difference becomes noticeable as you progress to content like ToT (in cases like ZeroCell, I would recommend using the Frontier combo for increased speed). As for Crescive Bolt against MVPs, it's the same principle, no mystery there. However, both depend on a certain factor: the buff included in each (Fronter Buff and Demonic Buff). It's important to take advantage of these buffs when using them.
