Why is my range so low?

I am a 164 BM. My range is 13339-15693 unbuffed. I currently have a 156 + 6 attack VL Bow Unhammered. I have 43% Dex. I have a 15 attack SCG.

will the 10 attack difference between AFA 20 and AFA 30 really make that large of a difference in my range. One possibility I thought of was that I have 57 base STR because this BM was made a LONG time ago.

its because of your base dex cause ur %dex can be considered average I guess. anddd hmm well idk...maybe blessing of fairy or something cause I'm 149 and have 25k
unbuffed and only lvl 6 marksman boost and 73% dex, but 4 str base

Yep, ur problems lie in 57str, low% and not enough afa. Get ap reset, start cubing and of course put more sp into afa. There is a big diff btw afa20 & afa30 (in my humble opinion.). I suggest u cube things urself becuz items these days are either hack or dupes, therefore unsafe to buy.
Myself, I have reverse engaw (self scroll, self cube) 170atk, 65% boss dmg, 12% atk; 8x% dex, 27atk vss, 27atk wg, pac, czak, wearing both htp & mon, 11atk shoulder, 4atk earring, 5atk belt, all evo ring & abr, etc etc.....range=30k unbuff, 40k buffed, dealing dmg =200k. And yes, max hurricane, se, afa, pheonix, be, illusion.
LOL and yes I do have a life and career

This doesn't make much sense. My bow was 149 att with +18 att pot ( so only 5 att more) and I had a range 10k higher than yours. I think I had 42% dex too. Granted this was at 170 with a 12 att empress buff. My guess is that a lot of your range is missing because of your skills being so low. It's possible that the empress gloves/shoes/hat that I had made the world of difference also. That +15-30 dex on each items really adds up when you start stacking it with %dex too.

Ok, I think the best thing you can do right now to improve your range is to get your CK to level 120.

I don't understand why you're so low. Go get AFA 30 and a 120 cygnus and then come back.

I have around your range, with a crappy 126 legends bow, around 30%dex, and a 6att smg.
base str 4,and a bunch of ap in HP(lols.) AFA lvl 28..?
I maxed BE, if that matters.
get dat AFA30 ):C SL also helps a teensy bit.

So I either need to buy 53 AP resets for wait for the next event. I have no clue which will take longer

i'd say your base str really is affecting you (along with AFA being lvl 20). i have less % dex than you but when i resetted my ap from around your amount i gained 2000 in range.
p.s. my level does give me more dex but we should be around the same since you have more %dex.

I have found some but the are way overpriced at like 300-350m. I would rather not pay that

57 base str? PSH, I have 104. I definitely need to get an AP Reset
And my range is pretty low too. 7-9k isn't the best

You should probably get more blessing of the empress or make a KOC to get that buff too. and maybe even make a cannoneer to get the link skill. :O
And really? I thought I've seen an AFA 30 somewhere..

What's a SCG?

Wow, your range is pretty bad. It's just barely better than mine, 23 levels lower.

EDIT: unbuffed my range is 11176 ~ 14901, most of it is my lack of bow expert 30.

that 57 base str probably is part of it, I have base 4 str, you should have gotten an AP reset from hot time or legends coins like I did.

Clearly you're missing some attack elsewhere that other people have.

-24 att empress buff
-shoulders
-MoN
-AFA

The base str is also hurting you, by ~1.5k.

I have maxed BE and 20 AFA. I can't find a AFA 30 book anywhere in Bera.

Mine is like 13k-15k with buffs on. I got AFA and BE maxed tho. My bow only 111 att.

That's not low. -_-' Mine's 6000-9000 or something like that... It's all relative.

Some people have lives and have low damage, others don't and have massive damage. The lucky (or really rich) have both.
