What's the most common TP and WS arrow for RNG?
And what atma do they use mostly?
Kinda tempted to level the job and get a gandiva, but I don't know much about it and I'd like to actually learn before I level it up at all.
Also what merits? :D

Level WAR.
Antlion Arrows are good, but I'm biased because I can make 'em. I know for Unlimited shot you wanna use one of the CP arrows that has rediculous stats on it. Gl lvl'n rng. It's on my dream list too!
Alright thanks :D
I love the looks of RNG but I really want to learn about how to play the job properly before levelling it up.
And unlike the other DD there isn't much info on it.

I personally like to use guns, I am new to the job as well but i do have cor. Gandiva will be the best weapon inside abyssea for you though, outside slugs/sidewinder will probably be the winner. Kinda up to you on what you prefer, I think if you use guns + silver bullets it will be about ~50k/12 stacks cheaper than what arrows have to offer.
i use to be main rng.. still play every once in a while but yeah demon arrows are standard the other arrows cost way to much so i cant afford to use them... im working on emp... so for now i use sidewinder ... atmas i use for sidewinder are stout arm and VV... last atma i use sea daughter for fast TP gain.. as far as unlimited shot.. i dont use anymore cuz SE makes it share a timer with dbshot... :-( and even tho ive got merits into unlimited shot.. it doesnt knock time off dblshot kinda stupid... merits... if ur gonna go bow... merit archery... ive got unlimited/rapid shot 5/5 cuz well the others suck in group 1...
in group 2... 5/5 flashy/snapshot
in group 2... 5/5 flashy/snapshot

edit: with the new crit upgrade, Arching arrow/Heavy shot are probably way better than side/slug in abyssea. For that reason, I would suggest RR/GH/Sea daughter atma setup.

You'll want a siege bow from Chukwa or vision bow from Kur in the meantime.
You'll want a Loki's kaftan from Turul.
Merits you want snapshot. It's haste for ranged attacks

Ah yeah cheers, Siege bow isn't hard for me to get really, Loki's Kaftan I've heard some horror stories.
Has anyone got some gearsets available for me to pore over?

I can maybe make one after lunch, mine is really outdated and probably wouldn't be very optimal. I think there was a thread recently though.
Ah cheers, just a general idea, I couldn't find much info at all.
I'm still working on it, but this is how I'm going with merits:
Group1: 5/5 Camouflage, 5/5 Rapid shot
Group2: 5/5 Snapshot and probably 5/5 Flashy shot
Sea daughter is a must have in abyssea :o
Other than that, just be ready to spam lots of ammo, can't really play cheap on this job :/

I saw that, I was wondering if there was more tp builds and stuff.

Vision bow NM is easy as is Turul. Turul can be done mnk + whm, have whm sub blm and stun thunder4/5. MNK + WHM for kur as well, nothing he does is really bad, Counter/para/flash > HF. Sub thief on MNK (or bring a THF) and proc blue, that's about it.

If you're not using unlimited shot, might as well put the merits in Camouflage recast for the enmity reduction.
This is what I did when Double Shot was added. Reducing enmity should usually be your main concern on RNG and Camouflage is pretty damn powerful when used right.
As for atmas, Sea Daughter is always awesome. For conservative rangering (Slugwinder) I'd probably use SD/Stout Arm/GH. Switch SA to VV if you want or need more regain.
For when you finish that Gandiva just switch GH to RR and you're set.
For group2 merits I like having 1/5 Flashy Shot, 4/5 Stealth Shot and of course 5/5 Snapshot.
Thanks for the info guys, really looking forward to level this job now.
Threw this together real quick
You may have to screw around with the store tp for hit build and whatnot, but this should be a good baseline to work from.
Also worth mentioning: you can macro in snapshot gear at the beginning of a shot, then change it to something else before the shot goes off. For instance, change the impulse belt to a scout's belt or w/e.

Ah cheers row
And I assume /sam all the time

Ah ok thanks :)
If for some reason you need to go /nin, two augmented crit + daggers from dominion ops are good to use also. two +6 crit dmg is pretty decent but you lose so much without /sam.
There's really no reason whatsoever to sub /nin. At least I can't think of a situation where I would.
On another note considering /war outside Abyssea might be worth it. Berserk, Double shot and Camouflage and go crazy. Even better if you activate aftermath before it.
