INTRODUCTION
T
his guide is designed to help you
learn the proper ways to play a Ranger in Aion, as well as all of
the steps for leveling, PvP'ing, obtaining the
various skills you want, and everything else related to playing as one of the game's most lethal characters. Also, we will be covering both races (Elyos and Asmodian) in this guide! By the end of this guide, you should fully understand everything there is to know about the Ranger and also have a good understanding of the differences between Asmodian and Elyos Rangers (although there is not much difference between the two). Please keep in mind that although you may already know a lot about the class and the game, this guide is going to have a lot of “newbie” information in it as well. This guide
has been written for both new players and
experienced players, allowing everyone to benefit from the information contained within!
Now let's begin.

mobs here and earning enough experience to level up here is fairly fast. Levels 4-6 you will be picking up in and
around Aldelle Village. There are quests here for before and after level 6 as well, just work on them as you are able to. Levels 4-9 will be completed around Anturoon Crossing. There are others you will be picking up along your journey to complete these quests as well, however the bulk of them are going to be found at the Crossing.
Starting with level 10 (technically level 9 and maxed out experience) you will have a couple of different places you can find quests at.
The first place to quest at level 10 is in Pandaemonium, the main village. There are not a lot of quests here but you will need to
do the Daeva's Ceremony quest at the very least (this is given automatically after doing Ascension). It is highly recommended that you explore this town while you are here because there are a lot of useful NPC's around that can help you with your journey. Also, don't forget to get your new skills! After you are done with Pandaemonium you are ready to move off into your next zone, Altgard.

EQUIPMENT
W
Tricks To Abyss Items
hen it comes to equipment the
best you will be able to obtain is the Abyss gear. This should
definitely be your main priority when it comes to trying to gear yourself up.
There are a couple of tricks that will make obtaining your Abyss items a lot easier to do. The first one is to always obtain the items as soon as you are able to. The amount of
Abyss Points you earn (or lose when you die)
The second best gear is that you can obtain through instances or off bosses. These will be good items, although not as good as the Abyss gear.
If you are unable to do either of the above, it is best to just live with what you already have. Since you will not be tanking a lot during PvE, due to your ability to kite effectively, your armor is not an issue. When it comes to what to go for first in your gear, always worry about your weapon. If needed, think about purchasing some weapons off the Trader. Don't worry about
what you will be using for “end-game” when you do so, just get what is required to level
up at the time. I've found that even level 20 items will last you well into your 30's.
depends on your Abyss Rank. As you
purchase items your rank goes back down, causing you to earn more and lose less again! When it comes to obtaining the points, the easiest way is in PvP but only if you are winning more battles than you are losing. If you are losing a lot, you will be earning fewer Abyss Points than you could be. The best way to obtain the Abyss Points needed is by killing mobs in the Abyss. This is best done with one or two others (just in case players from the opposite faction come into
your area), however if you are close to your base you will be fine as well. The amount of
points you obtain per mob is less than you would get off a player, however there are more mobs which also means less searching!
The biggest thing to remember here is that
your main currency end-game is going to be your Abyss Points. No gear is better than that!

generally use bows, however up until level 10 there are absolutely no bow skills. Note that this section will be used even in future levels when you are in groups and have the job of being a melee damage dealer.
Your first step for melee combat is to set
up your hot bar the way you feel is most comfortable. You will be using a lot of skills and it is significantly easier to press a key on your keyboard rather than having to click each skill.

explain your combat strategy choices are various points in the game (levels 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50). Levels 1-9 are melee-only levels so we will look at this level spread separately. Note that this section is also split based on
whether you are in a group or solo setting
(detailing the melee or bow skills to use). Along with this, the differences between PvE
and PvP will not come out until level 25 and up (when you are able to enter the Abyss) so for the lower levels we will look at nothing but PvE strategies.
Your hot bar should consist of every skill you will be using on a normal basis, not just your damage dealing ones. If you wish to replicate mine, I have my first bar set up with the following: 1.Attack

If you really want to rack up the DoT
(damage over time) you can have your

can see, we are starting to pool our highest damage skills together to make them all work in the most efficient manner. From this point on just help kill the mobs with your group (or partner) as you would
normally. Up until level 10 (after the
Ascension) there are no elite mobs, so this is the best strategy for now. Kills should be pretty quick and painless.
To recap, your battle plan for groups
should be as follows:
Rangers are much, much better in groups
than solo at these levels but especially at low levels they may be hard to come by. Both of these strategies are very solid and will assist
you with maximizing your damage output (which at this point is the most important thing). Keep in mind that damage output means less damage taken, therefore boosting your survivability as well!
Something that can greatly assist you with leveling up at this point is Power Shards. These will increase your damage, although
not by a huge amount, but are greatly beneficial since you will be using duals (swords, daggers, or one of each). At the
same time, this benefit comes at a big cost. If you are not worried about being as rich as possible by level 10, I would highly suggest
investing in Power Shards to help you reach that level as soon as possible.

Clerics and Chanters are, again, quite tough to kill when they are played properly.
A very important thing to remember aside from that is you need to keep a decent amount of distance between them and you.
They both have a few skills that have the ability to stun you or knock you unconscious in mid-air, so keeping distance will keep that from happening. In the case of these battles, your roots and stuns are by far your best friend. Since neither Gladiators nor Templars are ranged classes, you have the ability to attack them even when they can not fight back.
When it comes to using Hide, it is of great
benefit in these battles. Neither of the classes is able to view players who are hiding, so you will have the ability to sneak up behind them for some quick “surprise” attacks.
Clerics/Chanters
The two skills that will be more important
now than ever before are Sleep Arrow and Silence Arrow. One will sleep the target and
the other just keeps them from being able to heal. To know the best strategy to use against the healers you must first understand how many healers play. It is very rare (at least at
this point) to find healers that will keep their health at a high level. Many are more worried about dealing damage instead and will then only heal themselves at around half
HP (or some will even wait until their HP is lower than that). To us, this is a huge advantage.
When attacking the healers it is important
to save the most powerful attacks for the “finale.” Instead, start going backwards from how we normally battle. Use the weaker ones first. Once their HP is around half (if they are
