Rank refine. 150 dex aint that bad. Just buy some fail pots.

Finish refining and then work on Production Mastery... I had around 200 dex when I started ranking Refining, and in retrospect it was incredibly easy compared to some of the other life skills so don't give up.
High ranked Production Mastery is a lot more troublesome than dex when it comes to refining, as you can always spam scarecrow (try until you get -9 dex) on everything including shield and accessories. Refine in Filia using finest firewood (from Carpentry), spam drink Vales Fire and wear "experienced death" title for even less success %. Worst that can happen is having to buy a few fail pots... I only used 3 or 4 in total, and only at r2.
After you've taken care of refining, r1 Magnum as fast as you possibly can and perhaps rank Windmill along the way... Support Shot, First Aid and Playing Instrument are easy +dex skills that you can rank every time you need a break from Weaving and Handicraft.

Elf rangers without decently ranked life skills fail badly. So unless you rank refine, you won't get far in your mabinogi career.

Get refine out the way. Compared to weaving, its a cake walk. After that get mag to r1, that will make some serious awesomenes. I'm jealous of your r5 Barrier spikes so its good that you have that. After that work on mirage missile and support shot and abuse your elf benefits of dex then work on life skills/final Shot to get yummy dex.
Then after all that, and you have r9 WM, which is plentiful for anyone thats not melee to have then get Crash Shot.

Any serious archer should always aim for r1 Windmill, it's your last line of defense and it gives a lot of crit from Will.

Erhm, Critical Hit.
Refine shouldn't be hard even with 200 Dex and r1 Production Mastery, to the point where you don't need to spend gold on ores or NX on potions.
