Ranger Equipment

Since it hasn't yet been adressed, what kind of armour do rangers typically use? Light, medium heavy, plate (lol), leather, cloth, etc.? Also if someone would direct me towards both the most profitibal craft guild and the most practical for a ranger? I am planning on crafting before leveling so I will have a good cash flow before I start leveling my chars (I hate being strapped for cash at all times as a noob).
Also can you actually make any money as a carpenter (as I am sure that's most practical for a ranger) ? Also is it possible to craft without leveling you chars to get materials? ie. Just buy your supplies and sell the shit for more?

Sorry for the off topic guild questions but I think becoming a member of a money making guild is one way to solve ranger money drain. Thanks in advance.

PS> Great Info guys keep up the knowledge pooling.

I have heaerd that the alchemist guild is the most profitable guild. I guess it would be useful for making bullets and ninja powder too (if you sub /NIN).

Someone mentioned that you have to choose your monsters carefully for the ranger to be effective. So I was wondering if the ranger runs into any problem areas during the level grind wher ethe monsters needed are not easily killed by ranger. So I guess I am kinda asking for a leveling guide I was also wondering if rangers are effective in parties for the HNMBC fights or really effective against the super tough monsters that require alliances?

Thanks.

The strange thing is...rng can't use thf equip, but can use mage type armor, and scale type armor EVEN the lv 30 conquest set, but even wait all that, i still prefer to use equip any armor that boosts my agl or atk

Would Monk be a passable subjob? I've asked this same question maybe 2-3 times, and have had no answers yet.

I'm thinking that it might be a good job not only for a few decent stat perks, but mostly for the skill Concentrate, which supposedly boost Agi for 2 minutes, with a refresh time of five minutes. Seems like it could be very helpful for high evasion foes, but I'm not positive.

Anyone test this or know if it's any good?

Monk is not a passible subjob. Period.

BTW - Concentrate does not work with range attacks.

I carry around a stack of Gysahl Greens for agi+3 vit-5.
Just eat the regular Mithra BBQ/Kabob. It boosts AGI and Range Attack Power.

Really, this is pretty much the only food you should eat from lv1 to lv70.

since no one has said it, RNG/NIN is a very nifty combo

dual wield archer knives, Blink NInjistu for when things go wrong, and a nice boost in those status you need

STR = Damage to enemy
DEX-Evade = Basically how much damage you do on criticals
AGI = Accuracy (Dont confuse this with how fast you shoot your bow)

AGI affects ranged accuracy, and evasion. DEX affects physical accuracy and critical damage

Is there anyway I can not put away my bow?

I hit my ranged attack macro then shoot, but I put my bow away. So then I have to take it out again and shoot again, which adds on even more delay to my already long delay with a bow.

I'm only a thief right now, but I want to play Ranger. It doesn't really seem fun to do that. My bow does sick damage though, I didn't expect it to do so much.

Post questions

Hi everyone, few questions

1.) Best faction to be on as a Ranger? I heard Sand'Oria but I not sure.


2.) Best way to make money? Starting as a warrior first, then becoming a Ranger.

3.) Best race for a ranger going Rng/Nin for nice huge accuracy. I currently a mithraa so I hoping my accuracy be very high.

Thanks for all your help!
