Ranger/Archer build

[Darth Yoda]

Hi guys. I have a 6th level ranger that is about to level up. He just got a +2 bonus to any ability I want to put it on.

The problem is............. low damage 1d8+2 per arrow. I'm looking to up his damage any way possible. Thinking about Arcane Archer but dont know enuff about them so here I am.

He is a Fetchling 6th Ranger using a longbow +1 or two short sword +2. I have about 30000 gp to spend as soon as I level.
Stats are S13, Dex 18 nat (26 magically enhanced), Con 12 (18 magically enhanced), Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 10.

Feats are 2 weapon defense, 2 weapon fighting, weapon finesse short sword, Endurance, Improved precise shot (granted), point blank shot (granted)

While this is a Pathfinder game, the DM allows almost any PRINTED feats, abilities...etc. So, where to go from here? I would like to have a newly printed character for Thursdays game so when I level up TADAA!!!! Instant character.

Looking forward for your suggestions and thanks for the help.

Rapid Shot is an absolute must for any Archer. Deadly Aim too, if you're PF. The Two-Weapon Fighting/Archery combo really doesn't work too well; Two-Weapon Defense in particular does nothing for you, and Two-Weapon Fighting falls behind the iterative attacks. Plus you don't have the Strength to do damage in melee anyways. Various isolated Bane Arrows are very convenient to have; individual Arrows cost only 1/50th of the equivalent weapon cost so +1 Bane arrows are only ~160gp a pop.

You also want to stack various weapon enhancements on your bow. And if you have a party caster who knows Greater Magic Weapon (Cleric/Wizard/etc.), ask them to cast it on your weapon each morning. Don't waste money on things like +2 Short Swords when you can get the enhancement for the price of a single Pearl of Power (that you donate your benefactor).

Thanks for the reply.
This character started as a 3rd level pregen, hence the dumb 2 handed stuff beside the bow.

The +2 swords were dropped by a bbeg so werent really at a cost to me.

Again thanks for the reply.
