Hey there!
I wrote this guide to help aspiring Rangers. This guide is
for 1v1 Acrobats->Rangers, and not AoE. Here's what the guide will cover:

Acrobats/Rangers
Introduction
Once
you reach level 60 as an Acrobat, you will be able to job change into a
Ranger. Rangers use a bow as their main weapon and they have a wide
variety of bow skills available, from Area of Effect skills to 1 on 1
skills. The main stat points for a Ranger are Dexterity (DEX) and
Stamina (STA). Dexterity adds block rate as well as damage to their attacks. Stamina adds health points and defence.
This is what makes this class so great, you can have high damage while
being able to tank a lot of monsters. In addition you have some pretty
cool skills that help you become an agility master.
The Pros of a Ranger:
• High block rate
As stated above, this class has a very high block rate because of the DEX points and because of a skill this class has. (Perfect Block)
• One of the best class
Currently Rangers excel in PvM and PvP. You can be either a damage dealer (with high survivability) or a tank. It's a very good class for giant hunting, boss hunting and PvP.
• Usefull skills
Awesome kit, from AoE and 1v1 to escape skills.
• Tank/Damage dealer
• HnR AoE available
• Ranged class
Saves you time from running all the way to the monster.
• High Critical/Attack Speed Rate
• Good at Giant Hunting
The Cons of a Ranger:
• Equipment is expensive
Keep in mind that prices change all the time! At the time I posted this guide prices were a bit high.
• Arrows can be expensive for a level 15 player
Builds for an Acrobat->Ranger!
Recommended build 1:
If you're planning on leveling and sometimes giant hunting AND you don't have a Ringmaster after you buffing and healing you, then I recommend you the following build:
Keep in mind: DO NOT ADD STR/INT as it doesn't benefit Rangers in any way!
Without any buffs and equipment!
STR: 15
STA: 40
DEX: XXX
INT: 15
Recommended build 2:
If you won't giant hunt then I recommend going full DEX.
Without any buffs and equipment!
STR: 15
STA: 15
DEX: XXX
INT: 15
Skills - which ones do you need to max?
When you create a character, you won't receive infinite SP (skill points), you receive SP upon leveling up and job changing. Level 1 characters start out with 0 SP. There are lots of skills available but never enough SP, so you cannot max all skills, at least not until you level up to a very high level. Therefore, be careful in which skills you put points in. Add points only in skills that will unlock the skills that you need (specified in the guide). Most of them have requirements, a level requirement and a previous skill requirement. (e.g. Skill Y requires 4 points in skill X
and it also requires you to be level 20 to unlock it). SP gain depends
on your level, the higher the level, the more SP you get upon leveling
up.
Maximum skill level
First Job: level 20.
Second Job: level 10.
Third Job: level 5.
Vagrant Skill Tree
Don't spend any points in Vagrant skills, save those points for your Acrobat skills.

Rapid Shot, Bow Mastery, Perfect Block, Fast Walker, Dark Illusion.

Ranger Skill Tree
Now this is a bit tricky beacuse the most useful skills are for AoE. As this guide is for 1v1 I won't be mentioning the AoE skills. You will obviously need Special Bow Mastery and Eye of the Hawk too no matter if you're 1v1 or AoE. Those are Master and Hero Skills so I won't be adding a description.
Fast Shot
Lv. 65
Lv. 65
Nature
Lv. 70
Max Nature if you need some Magic Defence. It will give you +125 Magic Defense at max level.Lv. 70
Silent Arrow
Lv. 75
Lv. 75
Max Silent Arrow if you're planning on PvPing. It's a good silence skill.
Awakenings
You will have to aim for ICD/DEX/STA/CRIT awakenings. Since you're 1v1 you're going to rely on critical hits. Therefore, ICD is the best awakening for you.
ICD = Increased Critical Damage. (also referred to as ADOCH)
Helmet: DEX/STA
Suit: ICD/DEX/STA
Gaunts: CRIT
Boots: ICD
Weapon: ICD/DEX/STA
Fashion: ICD/DEX/STA
Pet: ICD/DEX/STA
Gear
This highly depends on your budget!
Levels 15-30
If you're not a new player and if you have enough money, you can awake and use some NPC gear. Alternatively you can use a Lvl. 15 green set or complete Reonan's chain quests as they will reward you with a Lvl. 15 +3 set. If you keep completing these chain quests, he will give you a level 30 green set which is pretty good!
Level 45
Method 1: Hyper/Cruiser Set
The level 45 green set is the best option. You can even use it until level 150-H. It's basically end game gear for a 1v1 Ranger. It's the best to have it upgraded and awakened. As you can see below, the set effects are very good.
Method 2: Continue using the level 15/30 green set or use awakened Vagrant armor.
Levels 60-120
Method 1: Continue using the level 45 green set.
Method 2: At this point you should have some money so either use awakened Vagrant gear (best option if you can't afford a level 45 set) or use the level 75/105/120 green set. I'm gonna say this again though, the level 45 set is the best especially if it's upgraded.
Weapons
Levels 1-44
Any bow that you can wear, depending on your level. If you're still completing Reonan's quests,
at level 40-ish there will be a quest that will reward you with a level 40 Bow upgraded to +6.
Level 45
It's now recommended to buy a Flaming bow.

General Tips
- Completing Reonan's quests would be a wise choice if you don't have penya.
- It's a very good idea to have a Ringmaster around.
You can multi log, so get your Acrobat to level 34, then get your second character to level 15 (Assist-RM) and you will be able to plvl yourself.
- Always have a leecher while leveling.
- Join an Advanced Party while leveling.
