  I prefer: A path that would make me rich and powerful. :D

  Either get AR and go range or rank defense and go full melee. Ranged and AR both give str so its a boost in melee.
  Or alchemy if you want.

  I hope you're getting rank 1 refining, instead of just leaving that at 3 D:
  I also suggest getting LB5 for the faster cast time, seeing as you have it at 8 already.
  Taming wild animals is another option that you should consider before your CP gets too high.

  Rich...?
  
  Go rank Metallurgy/Refining/Metal Conversion. Iron Ingot stacks will win.

  I'm a DK so it's not really needed, right?

  If you plan on doing G8, it's needed. Only like RC, even less if you rank Control of Darkness past RF.

  If you're willing to invest a few million gold into getting Adv. Magic, that'll make you pretty rich in the end. You can get a ton of money from rafting for tipping suits and mana herbs, and using Blaze for normal training is surprisingly mana-efficient.

  Melee first (Other than Refine ect..)
  
  I suggest finished Smash and CM right away then do Final Hit to 1 for the 4x STR. It's worth it.

  1. Finish Windmill and Critical Hit. They go hand in hand.
  2. Finish Refining or rank it to at least rank 2 with all fails complete.
  3. Rank Combat Mastery (your HP is so low) and Production Mastery (helps finish Refining and gives you stamina).
  4. Finish Smash or get it to at least rank 5.
  5. Rank Lightning Bolt to at least rank 5 since you're so close to faster casting time.
  6. Go into magic or ranged or finish melee.
  7. You will be powerful and able to make money easier. Goal achieved.

  Okay, I'll try some of those things.
  
  For starters, I'm currently on G10, on the first shadow mission (Where you rescue someone, with the 4 shadow ghosts in the beginning.) Killing the shadow ghosts is still way beyond my skills. ^^"
  
  I guess getting adv magic for high damage or combat mastery for more tanking HP is my option for now.
  
  I really don't have a clue about alchemy though. lol

  You don't have to fight those Shadow Ghosts, fyi; just run around them. Getting more strength and damage equips should be your priorities atm. Alchemy can wait.

  This.
  
  I suggest ranking ranged skills after reaching r5 lightning bolt and r1 Carpentry.
  
  1. Ranged Attack: r5
  2. Arrow Revolver: r5
  3. Ranged Attack: r1
  4. Magnum Shot: r1
  5. Arrow Revolver: r1
  6. Crash Shot: r1 / Support Shot: r1
  
  Wait until G13 to rank support shot. It's a ****ing nightmare. You'll also need plenty of dexterity for ranged damage. Weaving, Handicraft and Playing Instrument are AP efficient. Also consider ranking barrier spikes. It's extremely useful when using ranged/magic/alchemy skills.
  
  Arrow Revolver will be your primary ranged skill because of it's flexibility and reliability. Magnum Shot is most often used to open attacks on your opponents and break through high defense. Crash Shot can be used to cut through groups of enemies without drawing agro and is likely the most efficient rafting skill. Support shot is great in party play but can also be used to triple your own melee damage.

  For those short on AP, leaving AR at rank 2 for a bit could be time-saving. (60 AP for one rank? wtf!!?!? orz!!!)
  That being said, unless the player uses magnum shot alot, it shouldn't be a priority to rank, as it doesn't give dex bonuses.
  
  With support shot, I believe melee damage is +70%, not +200%. Besides the fact, I don't think it's very efficient to use it solo. You'd have to do something like Support Shot + Switch weapon + Windmill + Defense + 1 + Switch Weapon + Support Shot or something.
