I hate Exploration.
It's like my most hated thing in Mabinogi. I get so lazy when it comes to leveling it up.
I know both Thunder and Crash Shot are great ways to get stars in rafting-- the best means of leveling exploration. But which one's for me?
I have no Ranged skills, so maybe Thunder's the skill for me?
I just wanna get lv 15 exploration each rebirth and be done with until the next time. I don't see myself using these skills at all in battle.
WHAT TO DO?

Thunder, takes less to do better with, since you need to have all decent range skills to do anything with CS.

I say crash. I was with the same problem as you and couldn't decide if i should go to thunder or crash for rafting.
Got crash and im loving it, doesn't eat much MP and dmg is enough for rafting even at low ranks. Only prob is the loading speed at least at low rank. Also makes me think that you're the same as me when you say you don't have ranged skills. If you're pure combat go for range/crash because it adds dex for balance

Crash Shot costs 81 more AP, but that shouldn't be a big deal to an experienced player like yourself, especially with the outcome.
What's your dex? And your int? Mana pool? Access to MP pots?

DEX is lower than my INT.
Mana Pool is average. ~150 MP
Access to MP pots is good. I have herb pets and whatnot.

I'd say thunder... they both have their pros and their cons, however I think you'll get the best damage out of thunder.

If you have very low dex, don't even bother touching crash unless you're ready to raise alll your archery.

Yeah, I'd say go with Thunder.

Definitely Thunder. The higher the Thunder the better. You never have to worry about missing, and if you got transformation, it can probably last you at least 2 stops maybe. Not to mention, the more you put in Thunder, the bigger mana pool you have to cast more Thunders before you have to use pots.
If you had CS and the dex, each time you miss means that you may have to run additional rafts to make up for it.
I hate CS in rafting because of the long setup time (load+aim), even at r5+ CS, and then missing.

Or you could find one a friend thats willing to raft with you till you get 15 explor lvl.

Thunder~
More MP and will which is good for combat anyway. Tougher mana shield and harder to kill!

That would mean he has to ride 2x the raft unless his friend is so pro as to get 31+ stars per stop in a 2 people party.

Thunder. Mmmm.
Plus you can use it to put a dent in beefy things in other places too. Then again, maybe Crash Shot can do that too >_> I dunno.

Thunder it is then!
Also, small tip. How do Rank 1'ers raft anyway?
Just 1-charge then shoot? I don't assume that charging it fully every time is very efficient, right?
