Ranger (Extra Job)

The Ranger is an Extra Job, a job that must be quested for upon reaching level 30 before it becomes available to your character. As such, you will have a good working knowledge of the FF XI world by the time you are ready to attempt the Ranger Quest (see below for information on the Ranger Quest).

Switching to the Ranger job for the first time (just like switching to any other job for the first time) means that you start at level 1 in the job.


The Ranger

The Ranger is a lightly armored warrior who specializes in ranged combat. The Ranger’s specialty in archery and marksmanship allows them to deal significant damage before their foes get to melee range.

The Ranger job is the best job in FF XI with missile weapons.

Most Rangers use the recurved bow, as it has longer range then other bows. Other Rangers use muskets, accepting their inherent inaccuracy for the massive damage they deal.

In groups, Rangers usually initiate combat (pull the monster) with a ranged attack. This allows the party to start the combat further away from the monster, and also gives them additional time to ready spells and missile attacks of their own.

Once the enemy reaches melee, Rangers can serve as a light tank to help finish the monster off.
