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.

Stat | Level 99 | Level 125 | Level 150 | Level 175 |

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 and CRIT gear. The idea of this build is to maintain a safe distance (preferably beyond atk/skill range) from the enemy and hitlock them. 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 (since LUK bonus comes in multiples of 3, 5 and 10). 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.
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 after any attack.
The addition of temporal boots from the Old Glast Heim instance and bifrost monster cards have made auto-warg builds (and auto-attack builds in general) stronger due to the ability to equip critical damage and attack speed equipment and cards. Temporal Agi Boots with 120 AGI or Temporal Luk Boots with 120 LUK are the two matching pairs that this build will usually go with. Typically, Temporal Luk Boots will be preferred if player can obtain 193 ASPD from other sources, as it can increase critical damage by 30%. Otherwise, Temp Agi Boots are usually selected to increase Atk Speed to 193 ASPD. Cenere and Petal cards are usually used to complement the 120 stats build, or to strengthen the secondary stats.
Arrow Storm

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]

Stat | Level 99 | Level 125 | Level 150 | Level 175 |
---|---|---|---|---|
STR | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
AGI | 80 | 90 | 100+ | 100+ |
VIT | 40 | 50 | 60 | 60 |
INT | 40 | 60 | 80 | 90 |
DEX | 90 | 100 | 100+ | 110+ |
LUK | 30 | 60 | 90 | 120 |
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:
- Aimed Bolt 5 (pre-requisite for Arrow Storm)
- Arrow Storm 6 (for 9x9 Area of Effect)
- Trap Research 1 (to increase Max SP by 220 and INT +1, for SP pool)
- Arrow Storm 10
- Camouflage 5 and No Limits 5 if oriented towards Arrow Storm, or
- 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 is a build of ranger which is completely different with the common ranger builds. This build uses dagger and shield to provide more defense. Since the majority of your trap damage comes from your stats (DEX, INT, and little STR), not gears, a trapper can choose many defensive gears without having to worry about significant changes in trap damage due to the gears. This build also relies heavily on VIT and LUK as defensive stats (not AGI), since a trap ranger will be forced to engage the mobs within melee range most of the time. Hence, maximizing HP, soft DEF, and perfect dodge (optional) are your main goals in choosing your gears.
Stats breakdown:
Dex – raises trap damage, and lowers 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 regeneration, and resistance from being silenced.
Vit – Mainly for HP pool that increases your chances to survive mobs of monsters, HP regeneration and effectiveness of healing items, soft defense and resistance from being stunned, poisoned, or blinded.
Luk – For extra ATK, perfect dodge, auto-warg strike chance and resistance against being cursed.
Agi – for evasion-based defense when fighting monsters (note that your AGI won't be effective when you're fighting more than 3 monsters), and resistance against 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 you're forced to poke your dagger on the enemy.
Pros and Cons of Trapper
PROS
- Through specialized traps, you can inflict status ailments to enemies (such as sleep, frozen, freezing, burning, etc.).
- Through another set of specialized traps, you can change a monster's element.
- Can get very defensive due to ability to use shield and not dependent on White Wing set
CONS
- Damage-dealing traps have a low area coverage (from single-target up to a 5-by-5 cell area).
- Expect yourself to kill enemies slowly.
- This build is very gear-dependent and thus, it is significantly costlier than conventional ranger builds.

The aim of this build is for single target killing. Since dagger is utilized as weapon, you need to pump STR to increase your warg strike damage. The use of lucky day enchant on temporal boots is really essential, aim for 300 total luk when lucky day activated for 100% warg strike chance. at 193 aspd, your warg strike appears 7 times per second. You need to stack autocast gears/cards also to maintain lucky day to appear to sustain your 100% warg chance.
Pros and Cons of Dagger Warger
PROS
- Compared to bow warger, you are more tanky since you are using a shield
- You are also immortal since you can use 4x Hunter Fly carded dagger to leech HP from warg strike
- Compared to trapper, this build offers very high single target damage output
- Can be conjunctioned with trapper for aoe killing
CONS
- Damage is somewhat lower than bow warger
- Warg strike can miss, so it will be hard to deal with high flee enemies.
- Needs good capital to invest in ASPD gears as well as defensive gears

The aim of this build is to combine the function of trapper and melee warger. Trap skills will be used for mobbing and melee warg will be used for single target killing. Resulting an effective tanky killing machine. However, gear switching is needed to switch between two roles (trapping and warging) effectively.

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 Strike ATK 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. |

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. These gears can also be enchanted in the Mora Village with additional enchant options when the gears are refined to +9 and above.
Equipment | Location |

White Wing Suit [1] | Armor |
White Wing Manteau | Garment |
White Wing Boots [1] | Footwear |
White Wing Brooch | Accessory |
Weapon:
- Big 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. Big Crossbow (BXB) can also be enchanted, albeit with considerable chance to destroy said weapon, through the Biolab Enchants. 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 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.
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.
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
An all rounder garment to increase ASPD, Ranged Damage, Neutral Resistance, Critical Damage when used with 90 AGI/DEX/VIT/LUK respectively.
A garment that can be enchanted to greatly raise certain stats. The list of enchants is further explained in Fallen Angel Wing Enchants
Footgears
A footgear that is very effective at increasing attack speed. Can also be enchanted with various Old Glast Heim Enchantment.
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 Heim Enchantment.
Accessories
An accessory that greatly increase your critical damage for a total of 32%.
An accessory that is very effective at increasing attack speed and damage, with +10% ASPD and +7% damage. Does not have a slot however.
Works like Bakonawa Tattoo, with 10% ASPD, 5% damage to all elements and Perfect Hit +20%. Has slot
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.
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.
