Let's start with Builds;
The three MAIN Ranger builds are:
Low Stamina
STR : 15
STA : 30
DEX : xx
INT : 15
This is the build I personally used until Level 105; where I restatted to Full Dexterity. The reason for this beautiful build, is that the extra 15 stam lets you aoe with a bit of extra defence and HP to provide a more stable character to level with. And it's not TOO much stam as to cause too much damage to your ATK due to lack of dex . I recommend this build to rangers who can afford Arek Ring +15's or higher before Level 105. But this build requires a Full-Support Ringmaster/Billposter/Assist healing or a Windfielding Elementor partner.
High Stamina
STR : 15
STA : 50 - 80
DEX : XX
INT : 15
This is the Version 6 Ranger build. There isn't much to it. It's basically the same as the first build, but it incorporates more stamina for the people who prefer Hit Points ( Herein referred to as HP) over Damage, or those who can't afford the well upgraded +Dexterity items, jewels or awakens. This is a more stable build, but it is obviously the build where your damage will be lower than conventional rangers.
No Stamina, or The Full Dexterity
STR : 15
STA : 15
DEX : XX
INT : 15
This is what I like to call the "Pro" build. This build is utilized by those who can afford a pair of Speedos +3 Earrings, +18 or higher Arek Rings, Armour Sets+10 with 28% ATK or HP slots and well awakened items before Level 105. It is an extremely strong, hard-hitting build, but of course, also, a very fragile. It is also used by 1 Versus 1 Rangers (Herein referred to as 1v1 Rangers).
This build is a non-negotiable build for 1v1 Ranger as the higher Block and Dodge rate by Rangers means they will almost never get hit . It is practically a mediocre version of the Bow Jester. And a warning to those who choose the path of the 1v1 Ranger; prepare to level slowly, as 1v1 is a very slow leveling build for the Ranger class; It isn't like a blade who kills within seconds. With Rangers, it will take you up to 20seconds to kill a monster.
[Reason for speedos]: Even though you're full dex, your blockrate will still suck before 105 so it's beneficial to have them to help with your aoe, whether you be H n R or a stationary aoer.
Equipment;
Armour
Hyper/Cruiser Set; Lvl 45
1/4: No effect
2/4: Def+20, Bow Attack Power+10, Yoyo Attack Power+11
3/4: Def+41, Bow Attack Power+10, Yoyo Attack Power+11, FP Consumption-20%, MP Consumption-20%
4/4: Def+55, Bow Attack Power+10, Yoyo Attack Power+11, FP Consumption-20%, MP Consumption-20%, Additional Damage of Critical Hits+40%
The Level 45 set is used by all Rangers as a 1v1 set. If you are an aoe style, do not use this set, rather, use store-bought equipment (Herein referred to as NPC Gear) until you hit Level 65 (with Reduction scrolls) or Level75 for your Level 75 set. It is a set that relies on your having a high critical rate to utilize the high Additional Damage Of Critical Hits that you receive from wearing this whole set.
Oska/Okas Set, Lv75
1/4: No effect
2/4: Def+21
3/4: Def+50, Hit Rate+15%
4/4: Def+50, Hit Rate+15%, Add HP+15%
This Level 75 Set is the first "Green" set you will use for your Ranger. Why? You will want the +15% HP from wearing all 4 pieces of the set. This set will give you a significant HP boost to help you aoe more efficiently and level faster. I do not recommend upgrading it past +5; because you'll need to save as much money as possible for your Raze/Ranerz set.
Raze/Ranerz Set, Lv105
1/4: No effect
2/4: Def+10%
3/4: Def+10%, Ranged Atk Block +10%, Short Range Atk Block+10%
4/4: Def+15%, Ranged Atk Block+15%, Short Atk Block+15%, Add HP+15%
The Level105 Set is the 2nd "green" set you will use as an Aoe Ranger. If you choose not to acquire the "Bloody Set", then I suggest you upgrade this set as much as you can and try to achieve either an ADOCH [Additional Damage Of Critical Hits], Dexterity, or Stamina awakening on the suit, depending on which stat you'd prefer. Many rangers won't be able to afford their Acer Set, so I'd find a nice ADoCH for the damage. Or Records.
Weapons
Guardian Bow; Lvl 60
HP Rate+15%,
Crit Rate+20%
This is your favourite weapon up until Lv90,where you will be able to use the Angels Bow. The 15% HP is a great bonus for your aoeing, and the 20% crit is just a bonus for PvP [ Player Versus Player]. You may choose this as your permanent bow for PvP and upgrade it to Ultimate +0-+10 for that reason. This bow would make a DEADLY Critical Ranger with the Acer Set. [Bloody Set]
Angels Bow; Lvl 90
HP Rate+20%,
Hit Rate+20%
This bow is your aoe bow; You will always use this bow for aoe . Although some Rangers choose the Bloody Bow over the Angels Bow because they believe they do not need the HP bonus so they use the Bloody Bow's MP Bonus for the extra ATK and aoe damage. Of course, the choice is up to yourself. If I had the money, I'd go with Bloody Bow; Unless I found a well Ultimated Angels Bow.
Legendary Golden Bow; Lvl 105
Additional Damage of Critical Hits+40%,
Atk Speed+10%
This is the next 1v1 Ranger bow, perfect for the end-game
Bloody Sets~
Bloody Bow; Lvl 120
Additional Damage of Critical Hits+40%,
Atk Speed+10%,
Add MP+20%
This bow is just the Legendary Golden Bow with extra attack and the 20%MP bonus. It is a great bow for Full Dexterity Rangers who don't think their HP is a problem and just want to have a higher ATK rating and the extra MP for more skills before you have to hit a refresher.
Acer Set; Lvl 120
1/4: No effect
2/4: No Effect
3/4: No Effect
4/4: DEX+10, Crit Rate+20%, Add Def+25%, Add HP+15%
This Set is what you want if you have the spare change after 105. You might think, "Hey! Why would I want to lose my +15% block rate just for 10% DEF ,10dex, and crit rate? Don't rangers suck as crit-hitters?"
Well to answer this; Ranger's achieve perfect block after reaching 120. That means the Blockrate is pretty much useless, and the extra defence is nice against any hits you DO receive, the crit is nice for Giant Hunting, or PvP Crit Ranger style.
