How to increase range?

So I got my BW to 163 which I'm pretty proud of as a personal accomplishment (next goal is 200), but I keep hearing people talk about having a "low range of 50k" and things like that. My range is only 20k buffed and I'm just wondering the best way to increase that currently. I only have 2m right now but I do have a few Independence Day hats I can sell and at least one each of the SAO familiars that I can sell as well (though I was thinking of holding onto those for a year or so and trying my luck at selling them then).

2 semi easy ways I haven't completed yet are getting a Lumi to 200 for the +80 INT character card ability, and the +30 M Att from Empresses' Blessing + Noble Mind on the BW.

@Ecarina: This is not my first character by far, been playing since just after the game's release (with a pretty long hiatus here and there mind you). I would get a CRA set but I'm too damn broke. PCed the hats and they're only worth roughly 70mil so that will get me a couple items but still not enough.

@AznFlip: Ah, good to know. It seemed like a pretty OP class when I first started playing but now at the higher levels it seems a little less than stellar (mostly comparing it to my old kaiser)

Edit: I just started doing all the Commerci stuff also. Is it worth trying to get equips from that or would it be better to try and get equips from there, sell them, buy CRA and then go from there?

I wouldn't necessarily call 20k low especially since BWs have the lowest ranges in the game. Other classes have the advantage of a high weapon multiplier, but BWs are stuck at whopping multiplier of 1. BaMs and Evans also have this multiplier but they have plenty of buffs to make their ranges on par with other classes.

20k is low but if this is your first character it's not surprising. The longer you play the more your range will increase just by participating in events, improving your equips, making other characters, and getting link skills. Not sure what those things sell for and yeah take ^'s advice, cra sets are really good for range.

full RA set will probs be around 500m (pants will probs drop to 100-300/400m, wep ~100m, hat + top 25m), so get that for starters
