Ranger G-spot & Unlimited Shot


Oooh. A little to the left. Mmmm. Okay now, move up more. No wait, that's too much. Sweet feathery Jesus, OMG that's it!

Still trying to find the Sweet Spot to maximize your damage with your pew pew? Yes, it varies with gun, bow and crossbow...and maybe even that pebble you like to throw at worms. So you want to find it faster so you can quickly lay that monster...to the ground? Here's what you'll need to do:
  1. Go to the book store and buy Dr. Ruth's copy of "How to satisfy your mate with Windower".
  2. Skip to chapter 4, "Finding the elusive G-spot with your Distance plugin".
  3. Depending on the size of your weapon, you may have to stand closer or farther away. Get a ruler to see how your weapon measures up or just go here.
The distances on FFXIclopedia aren't the same as what you'll see exactly using the distance plugin, but you'll figure it out in the end.

And remember to always practice safety first as well. You don't wanna be sticking your Patriarch Protector's Arrow into something unclean without first slapping on Unlimited Shot. You'll need three macros to get the job done.

Ranged Attack
Use this while shooting for TP. Unequips any ammo and equips TP ammo, then fires it while announcing your TP level. The last line is optional, but is helpful for those that aren't typically engaged while shooting for TP.
/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Demon arrow"
/ra <t>
/echo TP<tp>


Unlimited Shot
Unfortunately, this one isn't entirely stupid-proof. If Unlimited Shot is still on recast, do NOT use weaponskill! If you chose not to WS or the JA is not up, it will switch back to your normal ammo after X seconds. X is equal to whatever you're comfortable with. If JA is ready, then be sure to fire off your Sidewinder macro before X seconds.
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>
/equip ammo "Patriarch Protector's Arrow"
/wait X
/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Demon arrow"


Sidewinder
Time for the money shot. Thrust this macro before "X" second from the above macro. It will send your PPA spiralling and then safely return to your regular ammo.
/ws "Sidewinder" <t>
/wait 1
/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Demon arrow"


I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. And remember folks, you don't wanna go out like Willy Lump Lump. Slap it on extra tight!
