Overview

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.

Builds

Auto Warg Strike

Build suggestion

Stat	Level 99	Level 125	Level 150	Level 175
STR	1	1	1	1
AGI	90	100	120	120
VIT	40	40	70	90
INT	1	1	1	1
DEX	94	100	100	100
LUK	30	90	90	120

AGI provides ASPD, FLEE, and other bonuses such as bleed immunity. Flee is mostly only useful in one-on-one situations, or if another player is the primary tank for mobs of monsters. This build is more oriented for MVPing rather than leveling and is optimized with ASPD / FLEE / CRIT gear. Warg Strike is the main attack for this build, which relies on LUK for proc rates. VIT is for more survivability, stun immunity / resistance, and better potion rejuvenation. With a proper enchanted and upgraded White Wing Set and other gear, this build is still capable of performing well for AoE / leveling purposes. Camouflage will allow the player to avoid damage from monsters that are not Demon, Insect, or Boss Protocol. But, keep in mind that Camouflage was changed (nerfed) and has to be recast it after any attack.

Arrow Storm

Build suggestion

Stat	Level 99	Level 125	Level 150	Level 175
STR	1	1	21	33
AGI	1	1	1	1
VIT	90	90	105	120
INT	47	57	70	100
DEX	90	120	120	120
LUK	30	30	77	80

This is the primary build for leveling and / or AoE damage output with Arrow Storm. This build is optimized for both soloing and partying due to its high AoE damage, survivability, lower cast time, and better SP pool and regeneration. Lvl 10 Arrow Storm has an 11x11 AoE but lvl 6 Arrow Storm may be adequate to one-shot monsters at the lower levels, and is also the first level of Arrow Storm that gets an increased 9x9 sized AOE. The player may choose to get other skills like Camouflage first before maxing Arrow Storm. One downside to this build is the lack of ability to quickly autoattack single targets, and may have to resort to using Arrow Storm even for single targets, or alternatively using Warg Bite or Double Strafe. Combined with Camouflage, this is a very effective leveling build and also a great source of AoE DPS for parties.

Hybrid (Autowarg and Arrow Storm) [Leveling/End-Game build]

Build suggestion

Stat	Level 99	Level 125	Level 150	Level 175
STR	1	1	1	30
AGI	80	95	120	120
VIT	40	40	53	95
INT	40	40	40	55
DEX	90	100	100	110
LUK	30	60	90	90

This is a balance between pure autowarg and arrow storm builds. It benefits from having decent SP pool for Arrow Storm (AoE), while having high Flee, ASPD and Warg Strike Proc rate for single-target killing when required as well. The 30 STR may come useful to increase weight limit and to certain extent, ATK.

Leveling
At the early stage, emphasis is given towards Arrow Storm, as it is the best AoE skill for leveling. Given the right gears (such as full white wing set and hunter/elven bows), a lv 100 ranger's Arrow Storm damage will be sufficiently multiplied to enable 1-hit kill of monsters with a HP range of 10K (Arrow Storm 1) - 21K (Arrow Storm 10). Refining the white wing suit and bow, and applying the right elemental converter will further boost the damage.

Due to the low VIT and INT nature of this build, SP leeching gears are highly recommended to make up for the low SP pool/regeneration rate (please refer to the gear section for more details). Healing items will also have low efficiency, so investing in a healing gear such as Witch Pumpkin Hat + Alarm Mask or Rudolf Hat will be financially cheaper in the long run. These equipments, however, can be expensive to new players. Therefore, partying at the early level is highly advised to improve survivability and continuity.

End-Game
At the later stage (lv150+), the focus begins to shift from leveling towards effective MVP-ing and soloing instances. Therefore, high ASPD and LUK (for Crit and Warg Strike proc rate) are the main points to focus on. It is generally recommended to increase LUK in multiples of 30, to fully benefit from it. Having high ASPD and Critical Rate will usually enable rangers to hitlock the target, thus preventing the enemy from reaching within melee/casting range to attack back.

Recommended skill progression:

1. Aimed Bolt 5 (pre-requisite for Arrow Storm)
2. Arrow Storm 6 (for 9x9 Area of Effect)
3. Trap Research 1 (to increase Max SP by 220 and INT +1, for SP pool)
4. Arrow Storm 10
5. Camouflage 5 and No Limits 5 if oriented towards Arrow Storm, or
6. Warg Mastery, Tooth of Warg 10, and Warg Strike 5 if oriented towards Warg.

Pros:

• Easier transition from sniper where AGI and LUK is required for Blitz Beat leveling method.
• Benefits from having decent Flee and Perfect Dodge at early stage to dodge a few monsters.
• Eliminates the necessity of stat reset at the late stage of leveling.
• Easily achieve 120 AGI by lv 150 while having decent SP pool for Arrow Storm.
• A flexible build which is really useful in solo-ing instances such as Old Glast Heim Memorial and Hazy Forest where there are mobs and MVPs to clear.

Cons:

• Compromised on VIT at the early stage in favour of AGI. Soloing at early stage may not be viable unless proper SP leeching and healing gears are available.
• SP Leeching gears (such as Rideword Hat, Vanagrand Helm, Incubus Pet) are expensive and may not be viable to new players. Pirate Folly, however, is a good low-end SP leeching gear.
• Gears can be very expensive as multiple sets have to be acquired (some for AS purpose, while some for auto-warg).

Trapper

Build suggestion

Stat	Level 99	Level 125	Level 150	Level 175
STR	1	50	50	50
AGI	1	1	1	1
VIT	60	90	110	120
INT	90	90	90	94
DEX	90	90	100	120
LUK	1	44	77	77

Trapper is a build of ranger which is completely different with typical ranger build. This build uses dagger and shield to provide more defense. Since most of trap damage relies on status (dex, int and little str), not gears, so trapper can choose many defensive gear without having to worry the trap damage will change significantly. This build also rely on vit and luk as defensive stat, not agi, since trapper mostly mobbing. So max HP, soft def and perfect dodge will help a lot. Stats breakdown:
Dex – raises trap damage, and lower the chance of being stripped.
Int – raises your trap damage (huge damage increase for hunter trap skills, and adequate damage for ranger trap skills), gives more SP pool and regen, resists bad status such as silence (you can’t trap while you’re silenced).
Vit – Mainly for HP pool that increase survivability since this build will mob a lot, HP regen and healing items efficiency, soft defense and resistance of bad statuses such as Stun, Poison and Blind.
Luk – For extra atk, perfect dodge, auto warg strike chance and resistance of bad status such as curse.
Agi – for flee based defense when fighting monster (remember, agi is not good option for mobbing since flee is reduced if mobs amount is more than 3), resistance of bad status such as bleeding. take note that high agi wont let you spam fire trap faster, it is capped to 2 fire traps per second no matter how high your agi is.
Str – Mainly for weight limit and damage when using knife.

Pros and Cons of Trapper
PROS
- Many debuff to inflict bad statuses to enemy
- Ability to change monster's element
- Can get very defensive due to ability to use shield and not dependant on White Wing set
CONS
- AOE skills only cover 5x5 area
- Killing somewhat slower due to lower damage if compared to Arrow Storm
- Needs good capital to invest in gears and trap expenses 

Equipment

Headgear Suggestions

Equipment	Location	Additional Notes
Rideword Hat [1]	Upper	HP/SP leeching gear. It has a higher HP leech proc rate than Vanargand Helm, which makes it suitable for trapper build. At +9, HP/SP absorption amount is doubled.
Vanargand Helm [1]	Upper	HP/SP leeching gear. At +9, it has a higher SP leech proc rate than a +9 Rideword Hat.
Crown of Deceit [1]	Upper, Mid	General purpose variable cast time reduction gear. Quite useful in reducing Arrow Storm cast time.
Evil Marching Hat [1]	Upper	for +7% attack, +5% ranged damage, if upgraded to +9.
CD in Mouth	Lower	Autocast various bolts while physically attacking. Good gear to increase DPS. Note however, that autocasts from CD in mouth is not counted towards hitting Emperium in WoE.
Autumn Headband [1]	Upper	Wind Walk SP -20 and increases ranged physical attack by 5%. At +7, increases ATK by 2 for every 5 base INT. At +9, increases Arrow Storm damage additionally by 2% per 10 Base Level. This gear is pending further change from WarpPortal [1].
White Drooping Eddga	Upper	STR+2, DEX+2, 10% additional damage on Brute monsters. Chance to transform into Eddga, giving additional (25 * refine level) ATK. An excellent headgear for Auto-Warg ranger to increase arrow damage.

Weapon Suggestions

Weapon	Purpose	Additional Notes
Elven Bow [1]	Arrow Storm, Auto-Warg	Ranged attacks +50% when used with  Elven Arrow. Best bow to increase arrow damage (mind, that Warg StrikeATK does not take into calculation any ranged damage bonus).
Hunter Bow †	Arrow Storm, Auto-Warg	Ranged attacks +50% when used with  Hunting Arrow. A cheaper version of Elven Bow, and also the best bow to use as a Hunter/Sniper.
Orc Archer Bow	Arrow Storm, Auto-Warg	Ranged attacks +50% when used with  Steel Arrow. An inferior bow when compared to Elven and Hunter bows, as it has a lower base ATK and slotless. This is usually the preferred bow for Arrow-Storm Shadow Chaser.
Big Crossbow [2]	Arrow Storm, Auto-Warg	At high refine, it is the best bow to increase Arrow Storm damage. Biolab Enchants can be done on the bow as well.
Creeper Bow [2]	Auto-Warg	A good bow for hit-locking an enemy as it autocasts Fiber Lock when attacking. WARNING: Attacking an MVP that is trapped will be registered as a "Rude Attack" and cause the MVP to teleport. Biolab Enchants can be done on the bow as well.
Main Gauche [4]	Trapper	Enables up to four cards to be slotted into the weapon for a highly flexible playing style.
Fortune Sword	Trapper	Perfect Dodge +20. A good weapon for pull/tanking purposes. Malangdo Enchants can be done on the dagger.
Combat Knife	Trapper, WoE	A good weapon for WoE, PVP or tanking demi-human monsters.

^† Socket Enchant can be done on the gear to add card slot(s).

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.

White Wing Suit [1]

White Wing Brooch

White Wing Boots [1]

White Wing Manteau

Weapon:

•  Giant 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. 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. FLEE equipment is also helpful in one-on-one situations. One example would be  Dragon Manteau [1] &  Dragon Vest [1] slotted with  Whisper Card &  Alicel Card.

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 HeimEnchantment.

Accessories

•  Bakonawa Agimat Tattoo

An accessory that is very effective at increasing attack speed and damage, with +10% ASPD and +7% damage. Does not have a slot however.

•  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.
