  I don't understand why Stiff and Musician enchants are considered "range friendly" since both give -10 dex additionally.
  
  Also you should add the new enchants you can get from rafting, Glowing and Rainbow. Both are great enchants that add both critical and max damage simply by ranking the magic shields.

  Those -10 dex penalties only apply under skill-based conditions. Stiff will only penalize you at high ranks of Lightning Bolt, a condition that was already addressed under the description of the Lightning Bolt skill (by the way, this part still says it's r9+ for the penalty when it should be rA+). You do not need to rank that skill to enjoy the 10 crit bonus. Musician's only penalizes you if Playing Instrument is below r9, and if you are at all serious about getting as much dex as you possibly can, that condition will not apply to you. In any case, it's much easier to get dex from skills to make up for the damage lost through those enchants than it is to build up your crit rate through will-giving skills, so long as you use those enchants wisely (e.g., using a Stiff Tail Cap with a Lizard Long Bow and Musician's Long Greave Boots with r1 Playing Instrument, as opposed to having two Stiff gears and Musician's boots with high-ranked Lightning Bolt and an insufficient Playing rank).

  Okay, so I changed my mind about the ELB build that Rime suggested. If you want a bow that gives super high crit AND decent damage, try the 127 Elven Short Bow. This build gives a hefty 47% crit while still maintaining a max of 32 - way more than the 124 ELB gives. Of course, you're limited to zero shooting with it, but it shouldn't be a problem if you're going on the offensive.

  The enchants section needs a few revisions and perhaps a few additions.
  
  The "Pirate" enchant is actually a suffix, not a prefix as is listed.
  
  The "Expensive Looking" prefix enchant is worth adding to the guide, which is a rank 9 prefix for light armor that adds +5 str, +5 dex and +2 defense.
  
  "Raven" is listed under footwear enchants, but it is a weapon only enchant. While there are notes on the raven "Long Greave Boots", it isn't made clear that the boots they're on already come pre-enchanted. This may be confusing for newer, more clueless players.
  
  The rank C suffix enchant, "Soldier" (All) gives +1~2 strength, which is a decent melee enchant that's great for cloth armor and such.
  
  The rank A suffix enchant, "Fighter" (All) gives +3~2 Str when lvl 8+, it is good for the same reasons as above.
  
  The rank E prefix enchant, "Fox Hunter's" (All) gives +4~2 Max Damage while lvl +3, which is also worth mentioning. While not as nice as fox, it is easier to obtain and safer to enchant.

  You might want to add in a FAQ for training skills or ect, perhaps even a training guide and AP allocation paths, something worth considering, if you want this guide to be as informative as it could be.

  Since you're a pro range elf, you could always make a guide like that hehe.

  Just an Enchant suggestion for Weapons, but if you want an extra 5% crit but don't want to spend too much getting it (but it does come at the cost of -10 Stam, which isn't that much if you have high stam), use Simple (it goes on weapons, I have it on my Comp Bow upgraded using the same path from this guide)

  Any chance this guide will get an update for g11~12 content? I'd like to see some of the new personalized enchants listed, as well as possible advice and more detailed information regarding Crash Shot and rebalanced Support shot.
