So, I just started playing again a few days ago and decided to make a Ranger, as I've always enjoyed Sniper class. I've got a few questions that I would love to be answered. I'm getting that the main build for leveling is an arrow storm build? To level the quickest? Then resetting to a more fun crit-locking aspd build later or w/e? 

 

Let's just say I haven't played hunter class in over 4 years, so I haven't been up to date on anything related to them (let alone up to date on anything in the past two years as I quit around then). I just made a new character, Jumping Jane'd it to 99 and transed it this afternoon. I've been working my way up and am around level 37 or so, going mostly Dex/Agi so far to level quicker. Been doing mostly bounty board quests, with some eden hunting quests here and there, though probably going to just scratch eden and stick to repeating bounties instead since it lets me stay in a few places longer and get easy badges.

 

I've got a VIP account, and an alt AB to buff slave me up, so I'm not too concerned with getting to ranger. I just don't know what gears I should be aiming for. I have about 500-600mil to spend, though I'd prefer to save as much as possible for future buys. Should I pick up the white wing set? It's all new to me. I've got some older gears from when I played last, like nyd garb and etc, but I don't have any bows at all. Stuck using the Eden bow for now, then hunter's later probably, when I hit sniper... Which bows should I buy? Orcish? Elven? Something newer?

 

Also, enchanting gear is new to me as well, so how do you go about doing that? And what are all these "spell 1" and etc enchants? Last I played it was just the red Vit+2 or w/e enchants.

 

I'm planning on stat/skill resetting when I hit ranger and get a few levels into an arrow storm build, but I want to make sure I am geared up before then so I know what I will have to use.

 

Thanks for the help.

WW set is good for AS damage (really cheap too, hell, you could farm the mora coins yourself).

 

Hunter Bow is good enough till 99.

 

You could grab a +9 Elven with Archer Skeleton for when you turn ranger, that'll last you all the way to 150. Someone more experienced for 151+ can fill you in (tho you have lots of time to get there). A Big Crossbow might be good if you can overupgrade it (10+).

 

For enchanting, since it's a really broad topic I'll refer you to the wiki. It has all the stuff you need/want to know.

Thanks for the info. Will be looking into it today. I hit sniper yesterday, and am 68 right now. Just upgraded my bow to the eden 3 bow, and have been playing around in overlook dungeon. Once I finish this last quest and get a phen card, I should be able to get the low-level turn ins and really start leveling quickly, right?

 

How much are +9 elven bows going for nowadays? I see you can purchase elven arrows from the tool dealer in mora, so that will be helpful in not having to keep crafting arrows all the time. Also, big crossbows... what's the price on them? I've seen on ragial that there've been some selling for 99.9m, but when I put up a chat B>+0-9, the only offers I got were ~280m for a plain +0... so.. are they normally around that price and people get impatient on vending or?

 

Are temporal boots good, too, for ranger? Or is it better to stick to WW set?

You should get a white wing set for sure no matter what as arrow storm is going to be your primary leveling skill until you get a hang of things.  After that you can start thinking about specialty builds like auto warger etc.  A big crossbow will yield you around 20k more damage on average over a elven bow at the same upgrade level.  it all depends on how much zeny you have to fund yourself and your needs.

 

Elven bows drop from those annoying archer monsters in GH and you can farm a WW set after doing a few quests.  Big Crossbows are in the 250-350 range as of now.
