A good idea would be to bring it to that of a Lv 20 ranger, or 60-65 skill, which as a Lv 30 you should be able to do solo without too much difficulty. The jobs that should be able to do this are:
* THF (C+ Marksmanship, C- Archery)
* RDM (D Archery)
* WAR (D Marksmanship, D Archery)
* SAM (C+ Archery)
* DRK (E Marksmanship)
* NIN (C Marksmanship, E Archery)
* COR (B Marksmanship) If you have a job at Lv 75 and want to be a more potent ranger, meriting is an option available to you for additional preparations. Recommended merit categories (where possible) before starting the job are: 1.
* Combat skill - (marksmanship or archery; see "selecting a ranged weapon type" below) 2.
* Enmity decrease - (higher hate threshold allows you to put down more damage before getting killed or having mages use mp on you) 3.
* Critical Hit Rate %+ 4.
* STR+
