How can I improve my marksmans range?

Hi everyone~ I'm kind of at a loss now when it comes to improving my marksman's range. I have limited funding, so I would like to make the most of it. What would you suggest I buy or upgrade? Any advice is appreciate. Thank you!

Definitely your crossbow first, then maybe work on scrolling your glove.
Take it slow if anything.

Get better crossbow ._. Weapons first, then %

I've no idea about Bowman Empress gear in Scania but in Bellonova they're dirt cheap (10m max on most gear, 15m overall, 500m and dropping shoulders, 80m xbows, 1b capes) so putting potential on these items would be efficient (3%dex is ideal unless you're willing to cube/purchase 6% dex), if you're an alchemist just fuse those items that go horribly wrong (2 junk line rare ___). Obtaining Mystic accessories (Face and Eye) are practically free, they're 3rd-tier, come with attack and can be potentialed. On the overall I'd recommend swapping it out to an Empress if you can find a cape as the 30 att and 30% boss would be much more efficient than the 9% and 5 attack currently being used. Scrolling and putting a potential scroll onto your crossbow would also be effective (stick with 60%'s). Regarding the cape they're probably about to experience a significant drop in price as they can be obtained from the Evolving World Instructors (If you feel up for it/want to bring a friend to try, Irena will drop them but not at a 100% rate)

TL;DR: Pot bowman Empress gear for 3% dex but if you fail then fuse them via Alchemy, get Mystic Accessories (Silent Crusade questline), move to Emp Overall + Cape, scroll xbow, kill Evolving World Irena for a chance at a cape drop. If you choose to, chaos scroll your equips after you potential them for more attack.

There's probably better advice but that's my advice for you on your budget.

Knowing how much money you're willing to utilise (NX/mesos) would help quite a bit.

@ImJustARanger: Is that really most cost-efficient, though? I've heard from many many people that if you go by the NX:meso ratio, it's much smarter to simply buy % DEX equips than to cube your own empress gear. I can't merch at the moment, and I really want to be [i]extremely[/i] efficient in my spending. If I can get a higher range by converting NX into mesos rather than using NX to cube my equipment, I would rather do that.

Could have Sykped me sweetheart.

I'd say work on the crossbow first. make whatever item you have 2 lined 3 lined. and wait for me to get left over cubes~

How much funding do you have to spend right now?
That's the most important thing we need to know.
