JUSTICE'S RANGER GUIDE PART 1

pso1298869606.jpg

By Justice, lvl 200 RAcast.

Introduction: THE RANGER CLASS

HELLO! I am Justice, the world's biggest RAcast/Ranger fanatic. In the world of Phantasy Star and many other MMO's, I've been playing the role of the ranged class all my life. In PSOBB, Ranger is considered by many to be the most balanced and powerful class type, with considerable adaptability and a useful array of items at their disposal. Rangers play many roles in the party: Status effect spreader, enemy controller, damage dealer, support, and just all around badass.

WAIT A MINUTE THERE MR.JUSTICE... WHY DO YOU CONSIDER THEM THE BEST CLASS? ISN'T THAT JUST AN OPINION!!

Well Captain CAPSLOCK, technically you are right... it is essentially an opinion but I will explain my reasoning. ATA is one of the most important statistics in all of PSO and is the only stat that does not have a material. Rangers have the highest ATA pools, and they won't have a hard time maxing that stat either. Considering their ability to attack from a distance, they are always (if played well) out of harm's way and can easily solo. They are quite decent at meleeing and support as well depending on their class, and as far as androids go, their trap growth and usage is excellent. Mechguns are argueably the best weapons in PSO, and ranger's get the best ones. With access to all the best weapons, the best stats, and being so damn sweet looking... Rangers rule pso!

Now that we've established that Rangers are amazing, let's learn some things about them!

PART 1: WEAPONS

I will give you a basic usage tutorial of each weapon and the best way to find the best weapons!

RANGED

For those very new to PSO, Rangers have access to every gun type weapon, each having their own merits. Guns aren't just used for damage too! No, rangers also can use guns for utility purposes! IE. freezing the enemy! So switch your guns often given the scenario and don't make yourself look noobish and lazy by always using the same weapon everywhere!

There's a gun for every situation, always remember that. The key to being a great ranger is switching and switching often. Would you use rafoie on every enemy as a force? Possibly if you are a noob that fails at pso! Don't be a noob :D yay! So anyway, the key to hunting guns is to find a variety of high monster %s. Have different guns for each type to maximize your damage. Overall though, and I can't stress this enough: GET HIT. 50% if possible. Hit adds ATA past your base total which is extremely helpful. The red "miss" is your most hated foe as a ranger. Let's hit him out of existance :onion-head62:

HANDGUN

Your basic one shot, single target weapon. Faster rate of fire than the sniper but less range. Use these to pick off weak, mid-ranged enemies.

Best handguns:

BB-HEAVEN_STRIKER-TEKKER-1.jpg

Heaven Striker: Aka "HS or Striker"

Used for its high damage output with high atp/ berserk special. EXCELLENT FOR BOSSES. So try to find one with high hit % (gives more ATA past base!) and high dark %! (For faltz olga and shamberlain!) Use this at your own risk, because sacrificing your own HP for high damage is a bit risky. It will not kill you though so feel free to keep zerking' if you think you won't be hit!

- Droped by Pyro Goran (the orange guys) in ULT EP4 Subterrian Desert on REDRIA/PURPLENUM (Best Quest for them is War of Limits 4)

note: Special changes to the somewhat pointless Divine Punishment with Striker Unit mag, and the shield combo is useless too

That's pretty much it handgun wise... but you should hunt a few others to make the best MECHS... I will discuss that shortly.

RIFLE

Ah the rifle, the epitome of range! This is your furthest reaching weapon, and is great for soloing as you can often hit enemies from so far that they just stand there confused and won't chase you! KEY TIP! Learn the maximum range for rifles to best use them! In fact, learn the ranges for all your guns until it just becomes natural to you. There's nothing worse than a ranger that can't hit his/her targets.

For parties however, unless they are your best weapon... I'd avoid using rifles for anything beyond utility purposes. Most rifles are outclassed by shots/cannons (Wider array of targets), and Mechguns (greater DPS-damage per second).

There is a very odd rifle that you should use all the time, and I will explain that shortly...

Best rifles:

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=421

FROZEN SHOOTER/ SNOW QUEEN Aka "FS/ Queen"

(Utility)

These bad boys are a staple in ALL ranger's inventory. The special attack is beastly, allowing you to instantly freeze every enemy (Aside from Epsilon High Flying Gee, Zu, and Dorphans)This is a great way to support your party, and to solo! Ownage in pvp as well if the agreed rules allow for it.

Snow queen is an advanced form of the Frozen Shooter that cannot combo, yet pierces enemies and fires like a Launcher type weapon. You need to use a Photon Booster (traded for 50 PDS with Pagnini in the Gallon's shop EP2 quest) on a fully grinded FS

-Dropped by Hildelttor(Rare Hildelt) in ULT EP1 Forest 2 YellowBoze ID. (Best quest is Forest Offensive)

Note: These have a rare chance to freeze you

BRINGER'S RIFLE

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=89

(Utility)

Bringers has a simple purpose: Demon's. The demon ability is extremely useful for taking down big enemies with huge amounts of HP like Debititor, Chaos Bringer, Gibbles, and Dorphan.

-Dropped obviously by Dark Bringers on Ult EP 1 Ruins (Purplenum, Pinkal are best to hunt... I prefer purple for the added chance of spread needles from Arlan) Get it to 50 hit using photon crystals dropped in ep 4 normal /hard

RAINOV 303SNR-5

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2488

(Utility)

Rianov5 has a hell special and a killer one at that! This badass oldschool ak47 pierces like megid (and a launcher) so it's the closest thing we rangers will get to it. A 50+ Hit Rianov5 rips through episodes 2 and 4 so fast its almost not fair. Does not combo, but still quite godly especially with v502!!!!!

-Dropped by Shamberlain 1/104 on ??? ID in ultima. (Best quest is Point of Disaster)

SPREAD NEEDLE, aka "SN"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=83

(Attack and Utility)

NEEDLE!!!! Man this weapon is great! This rifle shoots faster than a normal rifle, yet in a spread motion like a shot. PWN IN THE FACE. You can do a lot of damage and fast with these badboys and they are insane with high hit and %s. The special is unreduced seize which paras, not the best, yet still good and its even better with v501 and androids.

The S-rank version of these are your bread and butter elite ranger gear however.

ALL S-RANKS CANNOT HAVE %, yet they come with +20 ata which is like 20 hit... so it's not that bad. The S-rank Needle can be grinded to a whopping +70! <3

Best specials to use:

Berserk/Spirit: Damage (Casts do not use spirits! THEY HAVE NO SOULS... or TP)

Demons/Hell: Fast kills!

Zalature: Handy for the soloing RAmar, RAcast

Arrest: Paras more than Spread!

Where to find:

Regular: ULT EP1 RUINS 2-3 Dark Bringers Redria (Best quest is Path to Salvation)

S-rank: C-mode prize, on ultima the only way is Naka's card... so event only :(

LAUNCHER

Useless, don't ever use one. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay maybe you can use Red Scorpio once when no one's looking. BUT THAT'S IT >:o

THESE SUCK GAIZ SERIOUSLY I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. RAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Rage fills inside me when I see anyone use one.

BUT JUSTICE, WHAT ABOUT ENEMIES THAT ARE LINED UP???

Use a damn shot or cannon. No enemies will stay nice and lined up for you to kill them unless you freeze them, but even then its a waste of time so stop trying.

FIN

SHOTS

The opposite of the shots you get from a doctor, oh so pleasant... and yet oh so abused by noobs. The shotgun will hit (and seek) five enemies close to you within short range so use these relatively slow weapons only when you can hit 4-5 targets. Don't waste your time using a shot of 1-2 targets ever, pull out a damn mechgun!!! 3 is iffy, but w/e. Anyway, these are stupendous for bosses and soloing!

Best shots:

Charge Arms (50 hit! don't half ass your %s on these, it's easy!)

Did he just say "Arms"??? AS IN NOT RARE? OMG I ONLY USE RED BOXES WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-

No. The charge Arm's is rape, that's all you need to know. The idea that you have to use rare weapons to be good is a misconception. DO NOT MAKE IT. Always check your weapon shop for high % weapons with decent specials. Pick up orange boxes in ult. If they have high %, pick them up and tech to +10% and yellow name if possible (the best special) Berserk Demons, Hell, Arrest and Charge(the best of which) is good on anything but Arms and Vulcans especially!

Note: S-rank Shots/needles are much better than Arms for all other specials but are much harder to come by

BARANZ LAUNCHER

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=678

Yep, these mofo's are made from those GIANT RAPE MACHINES in ult Mines. These use charge special which sacrifices money for attack power! Very strong and very cool!

Use these for multi-target bosses at points where you aren't vulnerable. Their slower rate of fire/huge amount of damage makes them a high risk/reward type weapon!

-parts to make are found in ULT EP1 Mines,viridia greenil purplenum yellowboze, whitell (Best quest Mines offensive) as usual add % with PCs

DARK METEOR aka "DM"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=571

On ultima, this is likely the best weapon in the game. No guide needed on it.... use a Parasitic Gene Flow on an Arms+8 with 50% hit and high % in whatever else you please. Be sure to use your photon spheres on this mofo. Special is epic giant green piercing lazer beam of death.

-Dropped by ULT Olga Flow the end boss of EP2! (December only on ultima!)

FINAL IMPACT

(Utility)

You can pretty much find these by accident. These have the King's special that is great for leveling as they steal exp. It may not seem like much but it really adds up. When running Respective Tomorrows, whip these out on the reco-boxes for easy exp

BAZOOKA

The Bazooka aka cannons, the boss killer! These hit like a smaller AoE rafoie and are great for any concentrated mob of many targets. Use it like you would the spell rafoie basically (but it has no element!) When fighting Vol Opt, these cannons can hit behind his screens and cause the screens to turn red even when he is hiding in the blue! Most cannons do not combo unfortunately. These are technically launchers.. but they act completely different so I regard them (as do most players) as in a class of their own.

Best Bazookas:

GI GUE BAZOOKA: aka "gigue"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=565&sortby=class

A really good cannon you can find for the money because 50 hit is extremely easy! This is extremely powerful yet very hard to get considering Gi Gue are tough enemies to fight.

The special is seize, which is great for stopping enemies in their tracks. :)

- parts to make found in ultimate control center area (quest only areas) best quest: phantasmal world 4

CANNON ROUGE aka "Crouge"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2203

The BEST cannon. This you will see in the hands of most good rangers at boss fights. The special is somewhat useless, confuse. (Traps are faster) DO NOT USE BLACK PAPER C.rouges! These have terrible statistics with low %! HUNT THEM LIKE A BIG BOY!

-Found in ULT ep4 crater Dorphan Greenil ID

MECHGUNS

Mechguns are thought by many PSO experts to be the best weapons in the game, and for good reason. Mechguns fire nine shots at the same target in rapid succession. More hits means more chances to critical for massive damage! Have a high luk stat at all times to maximize your damage (Using RED RING, Centurion Ability, luk mats, and adept if possible). At 100 luk, I'd say a fifth of shots on average crits. So basically one combo gets at least one critical. Your critical are predetermined when you enter a game... but that's highly advanced stuff and unless you're Zynetic you don't need to worry yourself with that. Anyway, Mechguns should be used to concentrate fire on a single enemy. These are best with high hit % (make sure all your hits connect!) because they generally have a low ata hit rate. Monster %s are great as well (multihit <3). Fights against single target bosses like Dark Faltz, Olgaflow etc, should always be tackled with a mech in hand! Note that many mechs have extended range!!

Best Mechguns:

GULD MILLA

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=626

The Holy Grail of PSO. The ever coveted Guld Milla, these are the true sign of an elite. These have extended range, high power and a dastardly special that works even when Faltz is shielding. The special is gush, and it gets its own unique bullet sprite. This special is a must have for resta-less racasts (racaseals too if you're a pro-noob) and it actually gets a boost when a robot uses.

FINDING IS THE TOUGH PART!!!!

- To make you need to combine a Handgun: Guld, with a Handgun: Milla. Milla can be easily got by Dangerous deal with black paper 1... but Guld... well the drop rate is soooooo small it's just like WHY SEGA WHYYYYYYY YOU ASSHOLESSSSSSSS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HEHYYYYYYYYYFDGDFGDFGFDGSDFSD

*cough*

It's really like that... like Christ almighty be ready to sacrifice a lot of hours if you plan to hunt these godly mechs.

- To find...

Handgun: Guld1/28808 from gran scorcers, whitall... ULT ruins... This isn't as bad as the actual milla... but to get good %s... like zmog GL BRO (best quest: Path to Salvation)

Handgun: Milla 1/680894 YEAH F- THAT... (Best quest: Dangerous Deal with Black Paper Zu Route Ult only)

MILLE MARTEAUX aka "MM"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2201

O la la! C’etait tres tres bon! The sexy French beauty is my personal favourite mechgun. It’s strong as French perfume and on odd beats it has extended range (with autotargeting). Even beats you get divine punishment, and to that I ask what am I being punished for??? Best way to look like a noob: spamming DP. Divine punishment hits everything on the screen, and its a great way to get exp but it doesn't help all too much. Its mst based so Robots get a fixed number. Holy damage makes it somewhat useful against Shamberlain and Dorphan but other than that stick to using light/heavy attacks.

Hunting this one isn't too hard on Ultima! :D To get you must combine Opheile Seize and Heaven Punisher. OS is much easier to find than HP so look for a 50 hit OS to make (its easy so stop whining and make the best gun you can!!!!!!!!)

- To Find

Opheile Seize: HARD girtablulu Crater, any ID (Best quest is the start of POD in my opinion)

Heaven Punisher: ULT Forest 2 Hildeltorr(rare hildelt), Bluefull ID

DUAL BIRD

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2556

Pretty much the coolest mechgun ever... The guns do not look the same and it shoots BLUE BULLETS! BLUE!!!!!! Hmm, yes. I digress. The King's special makes this a decent gun for speed leveling... Mmmmm recoboxes... This gun also has excellent range (extended) and isn't too hard to get! Make sure, like always, you make one with hit. How? Spamming Mine Offensive of course! Master raven is an award for beating that tough quest in Ultimate, if you grind it you can get one with decent percent.

-To Find

Master Raven: Reward for Ult Mines Offensive

Last Swan: Reward for Hard+ Dangerous Deal with Black Paper 2

Charge Vulcans...

Yep, same deal as the charge shot. You don't need to break the bank to be a good ranger! Well technically you do since its charge.

S-rank Mechguns are fantastic for all other specials. I'd say they're 'killer' with Hell. Hardy har har

MELEE

Yeah, that's right I said it! MELEE. Put down your gun and grab a stick to bop those silly satillite lizards! Some situations do call for meleeing! MOST OF THEM ARE IN EP 4. I am going to post an indepth monster/boss fighting guide later so right now let's just worry about the Melee weapons we'll use! I will go less in depth here because I'm not a hunter and I really don't want you to fight like one either. Use melee only when necessary. Usually your mechguns will do the job much better.

EXCALIBUR aka "Excal"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2173

Beserk, Multing deathmachine. Of course we'll use it. Any class that can equip this beautiful golden saber can and will use it. Use it the same way as HS, but instead of PEW PEW it goes Slice Slice! But seriously, its multihit is fantastic for Barba-ray when he comes up for some rape, when the dragon takes hit just kill-me nap and any other similar situations. Those pesky Satillite lizards like to travel in close-knit packs too, so whip out this silly sword and show them how you really feel.

-To find, Dorphan ULT Crater, Skyly, drops Lame D'argent (Kill like 20,000 or something monsters to unlock...)

Note: This weapon gets a resistance and attack speed boost with Tellus mag, however note that it will not stack with battle boosting units like H/battle or V101

DAYLIGHT SCAR aka "scar"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2182

This is a dagger type weapon that rangers can use. Kewl... Beserk special... yep. It's what you use when you don't have an excalibur. Get high hit and you're good to go in battle mode.

-To find: very easy... you'll have a bank full if you hunt in ep 4... ultimate mode bootas in crater drop them like candy for every ID

ASTERON BELT

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2510

MALE ONLY

This is a really decent melee weapon to use, too bad its event only so you'll have to work hard to find one. Its special is unreduced hell, which is always a nice treat. Its a partisan, as such it attacks multiple targets in a sword like motion.

-To find: Vol opt v 2, december event

VIVIENNE aka "Vivi" or "That girly pink thing"

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2191

FEMALE ONLY

Liek omgz this thing is only liek the prettiest most cooliest double saber liek everz! LIEK UR TTTLY GUNNA LOOK SO HOT SWINGING THIS SILLY PINK THING AROUND. Ahem, its great for RAmarls since it can steal TP!

-To find: EP4 crater... I don't really remember where you find it. Ask a girl or something.

GIRASOLE

http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2462

Badass, if you find one give it to Justice immediately.

Great melee weapon alternative to Vivi for male rangers.

-To get: 100 million points in max attack 4 ult ep4 quest

(TOUGH TO DO)

OTHER:

Clio/Principal's Gift Parasol support weapons for RAmarls... Great for soloing :)

Iron Faust: Better than c-rouge but android only

That just about concludes the weapon section of my guide! Feel free to correct anything and add your own input! More to come soon!

EDIT: I put in tons of grammar errors just to annoy you Zynetic. No, I won't change them because this isn't a school essay.

Lol that was funny...good guide man. I did notice a few mistakes though. For one you get last swan from black paper deal 1 on normal not hard. You can also get cannon rouge with yellowboze, and you can also get heaven striker from greenill and pinkal also.

Best way to look like a noob: spamming DP. lol ive seen noobs do that b4, its pretty funny. +rep for the effort.

I hate you Justice. Anyway, some advice:

Rianov-5 is a useless weapon without it's combo. It's basically just a DM Special, with no combo and less ATP. The Hell special isn't useful either, as the piercing bullets cause some complications (I tried a combo'ing one elsewhere and it was just terrible) and no combo is very low ATA on the first S.

Good Hell weapons (for Episode 2, on certain enemies) are:

Hell Raygun 50H+ (My favourite for single enemies, easily obtainable from RL)

Hell Laser 50H+ (More range than Raygun, but abit less animation speed. Obtainable from RL)

Hell Needle (S-Rank) (Good for mobs that are clumped, or sets of 2 enemies that you can target together)

Hell Shot (S-Rank) (Good for hell'able mobs that are spread)

Heaven Striker is also a good for Handgun for... everything. No, like, seriously. Everything. Heaven Striker is used everywhere in the game. After using your chosen Shot on groups, switch to HS to pick out any enemies that may be left remaining from miss, and since Striker has an auto-aim special, you should be able to pick out the enemies pretty easily, and if you have sphered Strikers, you shouldn't have any problem killing what's left. It's also good for picking lone solo targets, obviously, unless the target has high HP, in which you should use mechguns.

You really should use Charge Mechguns on your character if you have Shifta. Mille Marteux, Yasminkov 9000M (which is still a good mechgun with NNN combos or NHH (depends on target, knockback-able = NNN)), Guld Milla and Dual Bird all have really low damage compared to the Charge Mechgun. The increased range or addition of Gush/DP/Whatever really isn't worth it since Charge Mechguns have the ability to do thousands of damage, while another mechgun can't even come close. The other mechguns may have more damage if you're a solo cast, due to the damage formula but I haven't tried that.

Same with Meteor, actually. Never tried it fully sphered with max-ATP RAcast, so Charge Arms could still be better.

NOTE: Asteron Belt is REDUCED Hell. It's the only 10+ Star weapon with reduced special.

Iron Faust has less ATP than Rouge and can't combo... So Rouge is still better.

S-Rank Needle with 40H+ is good for Paralysis on a CAST. Use Arrest Needle on a Fleshie.

Berserk/Spirit is okay for damage, but really only on frozen targets / targets with low EVP. Hell is obvious. Demon's isn't too useful, in my opinion.

Bringer's Rifle also isn't too great. You're better using FS from range, going up and using Demon's Mechgun. Demon's is only good on Epsi/Girta/If you have no ATP on CASTs.

Also, gotta go. I'll update this later if you want.

Excellent input Zynetic. <3

I knew you'd correct my mistakes. :3

:onion-head63:

Also, I am listing the best for each class of weapon... not THE best. I'm aware that Iron doesn't combo, but it is still better in its statistic variations and is much easy to find with 50+ hit... I suppose if you manage to find a c.rouge with max stats AND high hit well yeah.

Either way, the whole Iron/ crouge thing is debatable so I listed it merely as a subnote.

On rianov: Matter of opinion really, I really enjoy using mine... hopefully this server will get a combo unlock like schtserv. My exp. with the weapon comes solely from that server. I do agree that Hell Raygun/Rifle are superior at most times, but I just love Rianov5... go figure.

Bringer's is not great, I agree... but as far as utility weapons go, yes it is the best option for demons should you so chose (along with demon needle). You aren't too big of a fan of demon's and neither am I... ALAS, this guide is for everyone not just the elite who do not require them.

Note: Yasminkov 9000M are decent, but generally not the best... with gratia they are much better but that's extremely situational. The Mechs I listed had extended range. As far as damage goes, obviously Charge Vulcs are the best, no disagreement there but it isn't THAT much of a huge gap. You underestimate the usefulness of special abilities and extended range.

Regardless Zynetic, great input. :D:onion-head21:

When I said "I hate you, Justice.", I was referring to:

EDIT: I put in tons of grammar errors just to annoy you Zynetic. No, I won't change them because this isn't a school essay.

Are you implying I'm actually mad or something... ? :\

Also, extended range isn't actually useful on mechguns unless the enemy you are attacking cannot suffer knockback. The extended range mechguns require you to use H attacks for their maximum potential, and the problem with H attacks is that they knock back an enemy, so you will one, two, maybe three or so attacks if you're attacking an enemy from range that can suffer knockback. It's the main reason I actually suggest Charge Mechguns because their highest damage potential doesn't require you to use a knockback.

The reason Yasminkov 9000M is useful, in my opinion, is there are enemies that are really far from you that cannot suffer knockback, so you're free to attack things with NHH, and even if the enemy can suffer knockback and it's rifle range from you, NNN should do decent damage too.

And I'm sure Justice wouldn't mind some amendments to his guide. :P

Great guide and comments all! I wish I'd read this before I put 100+ hours into my ranger and learned half of this the hard way but I definitely have some new plans for what items to chase on the next hundred. Thanks justice!

Quorra

Be aware that while it was ok for the time, some of the info has become outdated or incorrect since. Iron faust and rianov 5 do combo (and rianov is not hell but lesser tier ohko special), we've had many new items added since (Ultima Reaper makes great aoe melee and hell for example), and there are many other popular options such as adding specials to yasminkov weapons (charge/demons/gush yas9000, hell yas7000, etc.).
