You can only use long ranged weapon skills if you sub RNG or if your main job is RNG. In order for it to show up in your WS menu you'll have to be a THF/RNG.

Well I've noticed that you are going to be an elvan ranger and would like to point out that once you get ranger as a job you will already have higher than normal bow skills and flaming arrow from the start. Don't forget about agi + equipment since you are an elf. Also, elves hit the hardest.

Elvaan hit the hardest in melee, but they make for the worst thieves and rangers. Elvaan have the lowest Dexterity and Agility of all the races. Thieves rely on DEX, and Rangers rely on Agility. I certainly hope you like challenges.

An elvan ranger will still hit the hardest with a ranged attack and I already know that they need more dex and agi. That's what equipment is for.

Icemage - Elvaan make horrid Thieves because Sneak attack and trick attack are critical hit inducing skills. And critical hit damage is directly related to Dexterity, which elvaan are crappy in.

They make good rangers because Bow damage is directly related to STR (which the elvaan race have the highest of).

Agi just affects accuracy of Bow... nothing else.

For instance, when I was level 9 in ronfaure I used Eagle Eye Shot on this rabbit, hit it for 334 Damage. =)
