Ok, so I'm gonna continue leveling RNG and I would like some advice from those who have taken it to 75 as far as what stats to focus on the most. I'm at lvl 44 right now but I have been told by some that I have focused on the wrong stats and therefor my damage has suffered a little. What do you all recommend? Also, I have been having a hard time getting a party, any good solo spots for my level?
 
STR and ranged attack for per-hit damage. Ranged accuracy and AGI for hitting more often. Dunno if DEX effects ranged crits or not. I was having a hard time finding parties at that level, but I also wasn't partying during peak times that often.
 
Should any of these STR and ratt gear be macrod in and out with AGI and racc gear? what mods affect ranged ws? i think ive seen AGI and STR as mods but not sure.
 
Use as much RACC for Barrage as possible.

For TPing: STR>RATT>RACC>AGI

For WS: STR>RATT>RACC>AGI

This is the formula I followed, though it may be different for some. On exp mobs, accuracy is hardly ever a concern for RNG. I always used Meat Dishes and focused on the absolute max STR and RATT I could use.

Especially pre-slugwinder, you'll want to stack as much force into your shots as possible. WS damage is incredibly lacking at those levels.

AGI Modifiers for Slug Shot are very lack luster. STR will give much better returns because it gives RATT and is a modifier for every physical attack on top of that.

I have no idea how to increase Ranged Attacks critical rate.

Solo may be difficult but possible, it could definitely be duo'd with a mage. Try to stick with mobs that are weak to piercing damage.
 
All right thanks for all that, gonna drive home now to try that out!
