Ranger strength just says it increases your ranged damage so I'd think that would apply to both regular and magic no.
I'll have to put a point in there next time and watch my stats before and after for both regular and magic.
As I said I never use those skills so they were wasted points. When you activate them you mostly miss with the shot anyways so it is wasted.
Heard you may be able to reset points later in game though so those will get taken away and used for something else if that is true.
Side quests get you a lot of experience though towards leveling up during the reward portion. I just always take the experience option when turning in a side or main quest. The armor or weapons they give are pretty much worthless as well as the money.
Take the experience I say.
I'm level 22 and have not even gotten my battle tower yet.
Just going back there right now to get it, cleared out broken valley of everything, then sentinel island of everything before the book with the warning and the one quest I need to fly for.
Cleared out Oroba fjords as well. Well as much as I could at least before I hit storyline walls.
Leave the little of Orobas you can explore till last before getting the battle tower if you want as it is extremely hard to get anywhere in there till your at least level 18 or 19 I'd say.
Got my level 2 demon and high powered 1000+ hitpoint creature now though so I can just set them loose and go eat a snack and then come back to advance.
