Overview

Datei:Ranger.jpg

A Ranger is the third job class of a Hunter / Sniper. Rangers are given a huge wolf-like mount called a Warg that they can also use to attack their enemies. They also have new and powerful traps at their disposal, from Cluster Bombs, Electric Shockers, to traps that can change an opponent's elemental property when triggered. While a Hunter goes to hunt, a Ranger goes to war.

Job Change Guide

See Ranger Job Change Guide for detailed information.

Changing into an Ranger from a Hunter or Sniper requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

A Survival Test
An Accuracy Test
Test of your trapping skills
Detonate bombs with your wolf

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Ranger and receive a free hat that is wearable at lvl 100 as well as a stat boosting ring.

Weapon Suggestions

Arrow Storm Ranger

White Wing Set:

Must wear the full set for maximum Arrow Storm damage. Some players that are able to one-shot monsters within a map without the set may opt for a Raydric Carded garment for more protection however. These gears can also be enchanted in the Mora Village with additional enchant options when the gears are refined to +9 and above.

Equipment	Location
White Wing Suit [1]	Armor
White Wing Manteau	Garment
White Wing Boots [1]	Footwear
White Wing Brooch	Accessory

Weapon:

Big Crossbow [2] with Archer Skeleton Card x2

When upgraded to a high refine, this bow is the strongest for Arrow Storm and can be very expensive. However, the SP cost of Arrow Storm can be doubled or more when using this, depending on refine rate. Big Crossbow (BXB) can also be enchanted, albeit with considerable chance to destroy said weapon, through the Biolab Enchants. Each Archer Skeleton Card will increase ranged damage by 10%.

Other options that do not have increased SP cost:

Elven Bow [1] + Elven Arrow
Hunter Bow [1] + Hunting Arrow (Unslotted Hunter Bow is given for free at the Hunter job change. It can also be NPC bought.)

Using Elven Bow with Elven Arrows or Hunter Bow with Hunter Arrows adds a 50% ranged damage bonus. These are good options to use, especially if they can one-shot the monsters already. Both arrows can be purchased in Mora (level 100+ to enter, or find a warp there)

Accessory Options:

Medal of Honor (Archer)

Medal of Honor is a powerful accessory that adds 5% more damage, +300 HP, +60 SP, +1% chance of casting blind on ranged attack, and boosts healing items by 5%. This accessory and other KVM / Valor equipment is usually acquired by saving up Eden Merit Badges and converting into Valor badges. It is also an account bound accessory. For more information, please see Battlegrounds.

Sound Amplifier [1]

A Sound Amplifier has a very large boost to a performer skill (Metallic Sound), but can actually be equipped by Rangers as well. The 50% variable cast reduction is very helpful, especially for builds that are not purely Arrow Storm or builds with low INT. Do note that without a Phen Card, casting skills such as Arrow Storm can be interrupted. If the party has a dedicated tank, and the player is experienced at avoiding monsters, a Phen may not always need to be equipped (hotkeying a Phen accessory is necessary though in case the player does get mobbed with monsters). Another option is to put a Phen Card into the Sound Amplifier accessory of course.

Other Phen Options:

Bow Thimble [1] with Phen Card
Bradium Brooch [1] with Phen Card

Auto-Warg Ranger

The objective of this build is to ensure 100% critical rate and max aspd (193 ASPD) to hitlock an enemy (that is, to flinch an enemy by attacking at quick and regular intervals so that it can not move towards the attacker). Therefore, equipments that increase ASPD, CRIT and LUK are very important for this build.

There is a very large selection of ASPD gear available in the game. And with the addition of new cards and gears, White Wing Set is no longer a necessity for auto warg builds as it will proc double strafe skill which may break the hitlock on an enemy. Some of the gears that may prove useful for this build are as follows:

Garments

Heroic Backpack [1]

An all rounder garment to increase ASPD, Ranged Damage, Neutral Resistance, Critical Damage when used with 90 AGI/DEX/VIT/LUK respectively.

Fallen Angel Wings [1]

A garment that can be enchanted to greatly raise certain stats. The list of enchants is further explained in Fallen Angel Wing Enchants

Footgears

Temporal Agility Boots

A footgear that is very effective at increasing attack speed. Can also be enchanted with various Old Glast Heim Enchantment.

Temporal Luck Boots

A footgear that is selected to maximize critical damage. Excellent when used with 120 base LUK for +30% critical damage. Can also be enchanted with various Old Glast Heim Enchantment.

Accessories

Works like Bakonawa Tattoo, with 10% ASPD, 5% damage to all elements and Perfect Hit +20%. Has slot

Glorious Ring

A good all-rounder purpose to increase +5% ASPD and 10% elemental resist from Fire, Earth, Wind and Water element attacks. Obtainable from KVM Battlegrounds for 1200 KVM points.

Bradium Brooch [1]

Another option for ASPD and also has a slot. This item can be obtained for free by completing the Doha's Secret Orders quest. This quest only requires level 90 to begin the prerequisites but it is strongly recommended to reach a higher level (125+) first, or get help from a high level friend, as the monsters in this quest are level 130-135.
