Rangers are experts in ranged combat. With their bows, they can attack for full damage from even the back line! Their Barrage ability allows them to unleash a hail of projectiles at the enemy!
Description

The bearer of this certificate is deadly accurate with bow and arrow and is deemed worthy of the title of Master Ranger.
Mastery certificate description

The Ranger, also known as Hunter or Archer, is a job class in Final Fantasy III gained from the Fire Crystal. Rangers are highly skilled in the way of archery, but can be expensive considering the need to purchase arrows. With a bow in hand and arrows readied, rangers can deal the same amount of damage from either the front line or the rear line. They can also wield boomerangs.

The Ranger from Final Fantasy III marks the series's first appearance of the Ranger/Archer class archetype, though bow and arrows existed as weapons since the previous game.
