  Whats your damage range?
  
  And any tips?

  Like around 300 max? Just spam Crash Shot at groups of monsters. You can also stay far away and magnum if you want to.

  I've seen people go on there horses Crash Shot -> Windmill -> AR -> Pet-Swipe Smash -> Bolt to finish them off. That is not full archer though mixed with some melee and tiny bit of magic. About max damage I do not know.

  Same as you would on an elf, except you can't load mounted crash shot on the way there... just use Crash Shot repeatedly, Windmill if mobs get too close and finish them off with AR/Range.
  
  You want 300 max+ and ~90% crit to deal with everything effectively... the ghost will take 100%+ crit to magnum spam safely; since human magnum is a bit slower, you can use pet revolver + magnum or cross the distance with a crossbow. Magnum + Windmill works fine for the boss, though if you have strong melee you can also just spam smash and windmill on it.

  DX this makes me wanna go melee/range hybrid.
  
  Just wondering how much dex is required for 300max with a decent bow?

  Around 5XX dex. Depends on your enchants on your equipments as well. It is easier to get this amount after G13 though.

  I can get 300+ max with 400-ish dex but doing so puts me under 90% crit due to lack of crit\damage gears.
  
  With good gear you could probably even get 300+ max\90%+ crit with 300-ish dex but getting and activating the enchants requires a large commitment of ap\gold\time.

  Depending on your enchants, you want around 4XX base dex... 5XX base dex will get you to ~350+ and 100~120% crit to go along with it.
  
  Bow mastery alone will add ~37 max, though... so it will be a lot easier to get 300 max with 3XX base dex and 400 max with 5XX base. Not to mention that Archer class adds 10 base dex and lets you gain 1.25 dex per level depending on age, and with the addition of new skills it'll be fairly easy to break 6XX base.
  
  If you plan to go melee + range, g13 is quite possibly the best time to do so... although you will have to choose one class benefit over the other.

  It's fun to see someone use crash shot when their max bow damage is well pass 300 then windmill away after the first shot. xD
  
  Why am I here. You're afraid of dying in here and want me as insurance to ress you just in case but you're pretty much doing everything as I just watch from afar.

  This is totally what I do. Leeching Mission exp while I stay back and heal/support. xD

  I have over 300 max with a decent enchant set and my ego bow marle and 340 dex.
• Ailyene wrote on 2011-01-10 04:11
  4xx base dex is pretty much maxing most life skills that give dex + all range skills that humans have, if you're in the free rb age range. Pretty hard to achieve unless you're in the 3k range maybe or you started as range from the beginning of your character and haven't branched off into anything else. =/ Melee is better, although it's a lot more dangerous with windmill. -uses alchemy-
  
  However, G13 might make it a lot easier since humans at the free rb age range can actually gain dex from levels if they're in the archer class.
• Jando wrote on 2011-01-10 04:26
  Probably be helpful if I give some information.
  
  I'm melee/range with pretty much the important stuff r1 (including Crash Shot), with the exception of r1 refine and r9 carpentry being the only life skills I've ranked and no ap into support shot, defense, counter, charge and only r5 Final hit. At 50/20 I stand at:
  
  242 str (184 base)
  w/ Dual wielding and 30str title
  and: 96 - 262 attack range
  
  222str (184 base)
  w/ 2 handed sword (Jousting Claymore) and 30 str title
  and: 185 - 326
  
  and Range is: 137 - 260 (157 - 280 with metalic arrows)
  w/ 281 dex (268 base).
  
  That's with a 44-70 Ego.
  
  Equips are currently:
  Corundum Delusion Hat
  Extraordinary Falcon Clothes + x2 Corundum Giant Acc's (Need to get white horse onto the clothes)
  Diamond Raven Shoes (12/2 Role)
  WN WPC (Need a suffix on this)
  
  Lvl 27str LLB
  r1 Crafted 222 Goddess Caliburn Gem upgraded Broadswords
  101 - 167 Jousting Claymore
  
  ---
  
  I'll add more examples from SCC HM after I've played with the jousting claymore and Metallic arrows.

  That's around.... 260 dex? Still have to work on life skills =x

  In SCC, the only danger there is when using Windmill is if you lag for over a second straight.
  
  Single-aggro and Archers that can't counter pets are a joke.
