    RNG stuff, couple questions.

    My gear so far...
    Kriegs/Frans/Vulcan's/Obow
    Wyvern Helm+1/Opt Hat/PCC
    Triumph/Bush
    Kirin's O/Crimson (Getting Blood)/Behe ring+1/Raja's
    Ahemet+1/Precise belt(waiting for dynamis..)/AF2 Pants/Af2 feet

    Want to buy..
    E bow, Dusk Trouser's +1, Kyudogi.

    Yes/no?

    What am I missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    I hear Buccaneer's Belt from Einherjar is pretty nice for RNG, supposedly better than AF2 belt. I'm not a RNG myself, but I do know a few really good RNG's.

    Bucc. Belt , don't worry about Kyudogi. Get that oBow switched out asap, even selene is a better choice.

    ^ Truth.

    Ebow is a must have, I got it when I was 75 and was sorry I didn't save the 22 million it was going for when I dinged 55. I still wouldn't part ways with the one I have.

    Kyudogi is lame, plain and simple, save it for the Sams who think subbing ranger is a cool thing to do.

    Ranger is like the last job that really wears an Osode anymore, it's still pretty damn nice for us.

    Dusk legs? Really? They are pretty expensive, and you shouldn't be really hurting for Ranged acc with the gear you are wearing.

    My gear is

    Weapon: Vulcan's/str strap
    Kregs/Franny/Trailers <---- Trailers is nice if you are subbing nin for super evasive mobs

    Ranged: Ebow or Hellfire+1 when going to Fafhogg, but I pretty much fulltime Ebow
    Head: Wyvern/ Ohat when RACC is lacking
    Neck: Rangers Neck for tp(next up for hope so I don't wanna waste gil on Collar) and Breeze Gorget for WS
    Earrings: Drone/Genin when /nin (I like to stack AGI) Fenrirs when night time
    Body: Osode
    Hands: CFG for tp S. Kotes for WS
    Rings: Raja's/ Flame for ws Behem+1 when Tp'ing
    Back: Amemet+1
    Waist: Rng AFv2 belt, was going to buy Bucc belt next Ein then i got belt drop, its very sex
    legs: Afv2
    Feet: Afv2

    I also swap trotters in and out when pulling blah blah running blah blah running away from DI lol.

    I also have a question about gear though. I recently got Oily trousers from sandworm, was wondering if I should ws in those and ditch my rng af2 pants. I lose two ranged acc, but I get four more agi.... Any thoughts?

    How is Selene's better than obow? Seems like obow has far more favorable TP and DPS, tho I'm a ranger noob.

    Is there any particular reason you use Scout's Braccae over Palhuwan? You lose 3RACC, but get 3STR back as well.

    ebow = must get, kyudogi = never get, dusk +1 = sure, doesn't have to be HQ tho, af2+1 is nice aswell. the guy who asked about oily trousers, i think they're useless, give em to cor or thf or something, don't see why you'd want em on rng, tons of better options

    Is Ebow a must get for Taru as well? I figured since we have such low STR and high AGI that it would be best to go the marksmanship route.

    skadi legs are nice if you can get them (+brutal earring and rajas for 6 hit build w/ ebow). and yeah, kyudogi is a waste for rng. zha gho's barbut is nice too if you have the time to SCNM.

    Everyone is on the Ebow bandwagon like there is nothing else. Truth is, if you can stick acid bolts then Obow is best. Ebow if you can't. Sbow only on certain moon phases is comparable to Ebow.

    TPing in AF/AF+1 head is also an option. It all depends on your ACC.

    If you're showing up to Faf/Nid as RNG, you need to level a different job.

    even with the agi offset from being a taru, "going the marksmanship route" isnt goign to give you any better results from marks, over archery, macro in STR(not AGI), and use whichever suits your style, too much to get into to try to make a comparison of the two, but if your choosing one over the other cause uve got high AGI, that not how it goes D:, AGI should really be the last stat u think of endgame

    and whats wrong with rng at faf/nid?, i do quite fine there, and often out TP whomever my partner is (usualy a THF lol) rng puts up consistent, solid damage, dont see why its looked down on, most especially on something like faf/nid..

    I have oily trousers because I have thf, just wondering peoples thoughts on them thats all. Also I don't have Purple pants, so thats why I wear Af2 pants.

    Also the showing up to fafhogg as Rng was when I didn't have a different job about three years ago, now I have a few options.

    In all honesty, Vali's isn't that hard to get and the drop rate isn't too terrible with a TH2+ THF. I leveled into Vali's and the performance increase from going from 54 > 55 was incredible. Once you get it, you'll never look back.

    I know for a fact Cobra Unit Bow > Selene's Bow (Unless you have a shit ton of attack then it is debatle and the moon phase is right.)

    I cant decide whether Bucc belt would be better than Scouts belt though.

    i use bucc for tp, and scouts on ws, it varies for diff situations/buffs/whatnot of course, and u could find situations to justify using them in the opposite configuration, but i usually do something like this for things that aren't very evasive

    i went 1/6 no competition at all, hardest part was getting myself motivated to run to fei yin, highly recommend ppl to camp it if they don't wanna buy, well worth it, even buying the bow, then camping it after suffices

    I've had a few people say that you should macro in Hunter's Socks +1 for Barrage because you need all the ranged accuracy you can get; however, eyeballing it I didn't seem to notice any varying discrepancies between using Scout's(which is what I use now) and Hunter's. Should I keep Scouts, or is Hunter's noticeably better in the long run and not eyeballed?

    I guess I should put in there that I have Hunter's Bracers +1 to use after this Sunday so that is the main reason I ask is for once I swap Seiryu > Hunters on merit mobs/other low evasion stuff.

    Although the belt is good for both jobs though. I kind of want a Delta Earring too so I cant decide which to get first!
