Strider Boots > Winged Boots is arguable. I'd rather loose 3 Dex and 1 Agi in order to get to the mob faster for the pull, or to allow me to run away if things go bad.

how about if I use strider to pull.. when back at camp..use a macro to switch to winged for the dex and agi?

Too lazy and don't want the list to be unnecessarily large :p

[Mithrankittycat]

linen cuffs+1 (str+1) before wool cuffs+1

[Kuaiffxi]

id would wear striders 24/7 just to run fast all the time

[Anakron]

Wouldn't the AF1 boots (4 AGI) be better than the War Boots (5 or 6 R. Attack)?

The War Brais (4 AGI) should be pretty decent between AF1 and Dusk Trousers/Crimson Cuisses, no? I believe most Rangers use Striders while kiting, and since the 12% increased movement speed from the Cuisses and Strider's do not stack, wouldn't the War Brais, excluding AF2 pants, be better than Crimson as endgame armor, for both accuracy and WS damage?

Also, I've read quite a bit about Byakko's Haidate being good for RNGs. Aside from the relatively insane defense and the DEX boost for criticals, isn't it a fairly useless piece for RNGs?

[RangerDade]

+movement speed is crap if your fighting(unless your chasing something kited), War Brais is good until 72, then dusk are better. Byakko hediate is for tanking, or meele skillups. I have heard both ways on crimison pants stacking with striders, and would like to know >.>

I'll edit this post to includ examples but the term best gear for RNG is kinda vague there are several approaches you can take to this problem.

1. Best Overall Balance of gear - Balanced gear for Attack accuracy, TP, and speed.
(this will varry the most)
Strength: Versitile, Reliable , Fast TP, Accurate
Weakness: Expensive, shares a hint of weakness from all the sets mentioned below

2. Most Accurate ranged gear - High AGI and Ranged accuracy
(this is for RNG who base their dmg on sidewinder hitting a lot)
Strength: Reliable consistant damage
Weakness: Lower damage

3. Highest damage output gear
(this set is best if you are fighting something you probably wont miss often)
Strength: High damage
Weakness: May be difficult to land sidewinder/slug shot and you may loose damage when that factors in.

4. Retrenchment Approach (evade, emnity-, parry+, - damage%, etc.)
(this is gear designed assuming the RNG will get hate fast and will have to immediatly defend themself as much as possible)
Strength: Less likely to hold back damage, high defense and more likely to avoid attacks
Weakness: Less accurate, lower damage

5. TP gain
(gear designed to get rangers tp to 100 as fast as possible)
Strength: More weapon skills
Weakness: Slightly lower accuracy and damage

I'm sure there are other sets you could list like
Asthetic, Regional

The fact is everyone has a budget and its a good idea to pick gear you like that doesn't break you.

hahahah that list is nice, it is a WISH list correct?

strider boots- good luck, they suck for rng, if you want them for show, thats fine, they are impressive to have, but umm yeah +2 agi over +3 str(rse) or +3 agi(leaping/winged) or +4 agi(af)...come on buddy, im sure you do alright for yourself but come now 2 mil for boots that are for show, if you dont have 50+ mil thats not very smart IMO.

RK+2 now that is gil well spent
nomads+1 gil well spent
Amemite Mantle+1- best value a ranger has at 200k this is godly

you forgot marksmenring at level 40, gives +1 ranged accuracy and +5 accuracy (due to no negative accuracy)

jaged gorget has to be the biggest waste of gil i've ever seen, a free necklace VS. a 600k necklace that adds +1 ranged attack

umm from levels 24-30 you have three pairs of pants? dude you have no barrage you will not notice a single once of difference, just stick to marshals till you get nocts+1



I also noticed you have Af over some noct pieces, IMO nocts+1 gloves are better then AF gloves.

mithra RSE boots are better then hunter's socks

ok heres my gearset for my almost level 50 rng.

emp. hairpin, wingedboots/rse boots, dual hawkers knives, battle bow/serpintine gun, lightning/ice/scorp arrows/bullets/spartan bullets, nocts+1 everywhere but head and feet, sarashi (for farming) merc. capt. belt for xping, nomads+1, jaged gorget (witch i plan to sell as soon as i need to level nin a little more and get a break from rng leveling.


Oh and to all the rngs that think uber gear makes you a good rng, think again, my friend jowens and me got rng same day, i have always been rich,he as always been poor(never had 200k at one time ever) he is a level 60 rng, and he is uber, widely concider the best balista rng on titan, and he doesnt have near the quality equipment i have.

this game isnt about skill i know, but rng takes skill not just gil (ooh that ryhmed)

[Elsurion]

Amemite Mantle+1- best value a ranger has at 200k this is godly

that one is now around 900k

not on titan, but even at 1 mil its the best value a ranger can have IMO.

I mean most +1s increase the stat by 1 or 2, but 5 come on buddy thats too good to be true.

i mean think about pre-61, nomads mantle-40k nomads+1 400k for 1 agi and 1 def???? no sir!!!! not worth it (i didnt say it wasnt good, just not worth 350k more IMO.


Oh and i know your not including weapons, but its a big mistake to just single out weapons...

xbow vs bone and shell mobs using what ammo??

bow using bod. arrows mmmm i like it.

Plus i'm a big fan of 2 WSs to my SC partner's one WS for the SC, and yeah xbow lets you build tp fast, but for what, crappy WS dmg.

sorry for trying to convince you otherwise, but if your head fast on going marksmenship, get a gun post 52.

umn 15k for the normal mantle or 900k for the HQ Mantle, it's for me a big diff where i choose the cheaper one. the +5 isn't the 885k worth, that 885k gives me many levels as RNG. More Leveles even with more misses then with the HQ Mantle.

Ok thats a valid point, but im not the type to jump into any ole party to get any xp is good xp. because thats BS, anmy xp is not good xp.

if you could be farming or fishing or crafting for gil and use your time more effienctly in good parties.

alot of players have had static partys, mine has only one rule, we dont xp untill we all have the +1s, these are all play jobs, i.e. mine was blm (but) my blm ended up passing my rng because we leveled sooo much faster then any of us had in any other static.

+5 ranged attack isnt worh 800-900k, but +1 ranged attack is worth 300-400k(i.e. the jaged gorget i see tons of rngs with)

[Bigbird]

Amemet+1 is the best Back armor for RNG and Any Melee Damage Dealer.

800k is definetly worth it for a Mantle that powerful.



(Ok.... Im alil biased cause i make and sell XD)

I wouln't buy 1 RAtt fpr 400k. Like i don't buy E-Bow, since there is 1RAtt 1Mio, not worth the money.

Fact is, RNG ist one of the most Powerfull Jobs in the Game, we still blow the mob out of his shape with no RAcc and RAtt Gear compared to other jobs. All this +1 Stuff is to look leet but in the endeffect you spend more money in Gear as you spend on Ammo. You still be a good with normal Items like Archers, +1 Rings, normal Mantles, +1 Bows. Yea, you aren't leet with the normal stuff, but why want you buy your gil to support this job in that way? Don't tell me you save the 20Mio just by Farming only for all that Gear you wanna have. Up to 2Mio, it is possible to farm and stuff the money but over it's not possible in a good timeframe. I play here a playing Game not a Farm2000 Game.

strider does NOT stack with crimson =(
