Rangers were added to the game in the version 1.1 update. The stat spread and abilities are similar to the previous game, and the class has the highest deftness by far once again. The biggest difference between ''IX'' and ''X'' for the ranger is that the tenth game gives them access to [[Rubblerouser]], [[Boulderbringer]], [[Mountainmover]] and [[Ridgeraiser]] as their sole offensive spells.
