wise to ensure that it's something that's farmable
Hmm... don't know server you play, but on Orien and Argo this raid runs regular, usual LH or R1, sometime R6+
I personally farm enough runes to upgrade Blackrazor on both, also many other stuff too... and i don't run raids 24h+. I give such option exactly because think it's enough easy farmable.

A raid being "farmable" is a matter of perspective. While a raid maybe often run, it's tough for new gamers to join one, much less on a regular basis.

because I'm a glutton for mediocrity I still want to play an archer on my alt. Problem is I'm lazy and kinda mentally challenged.

Has anyone figured out the ideal end-game gearset yet?

3 pieces from Sharn
1 piece from slave lords
1 Piece from black and blue quest

Aerania, the Blotbow

My Ranged ranger alt is the only character I have who could make a saltmarsh set work. ( Not caring about tactical or spell DC helps as the saltmarsh set bonuses are pretty generic Artifact +3 Stats / Ranged Power / PRR / MRR / Healing Amp ) Currently has a dex of 79 and a con of 64. A PRR of 157 and capped MRR of 100.

Like you insightful Dex proved a problem and I had to use a Collective Sight to get it.

Bow from new raid is pretty good as an option for chaosbow. For insightful dex sometimes is better to spare a +5 augment from the champion hunter (if you spare 1) than a gear tetris, i mean dex is important but not that important ofr bows, can't speak for other ranged weapons.

Anyone figure out the gear-tetris for this with MD gear? As mentioned above I'm lazy and looking for people to do the work for me.

Not me, using 2 Dread sets on my bow build. Too lazy to farm pieces tbh but still banking wherever i found.

I havent figured out total gear replacements, but looking to incorporate the following from MD and Night Brigade
Legendary Goggles of the Berzerker (replacing Study Spectacles and slotting Diamond of Int 14) Enhanced Bloodrage/Relentless Fury - Solar Slot (i have currently swapped this in)
Periapt of Dexterity (Trinket) - Dex 15/Insightful Seeker/Qual Dodge/Reflex - Solar Slot - (i have currently swapped this in)
Legendary Agartas Belt (Str 14/Rams Might) - Lunar Slot (Havent swapped this in yet)
Legendary Stornas Pendant (Gives Profane bonus to all stats) Lunar Slot (currently farming this)

Losing Forbidden Knowledge doesnt hurt the build as the only things it brought to the table was Profane Stats (covered by Necklace), Profane Bonus to PRR (can be covered by lunar slot), Profane bonus to attack/damage (covered by lunar slots )15 profane bonus to ranged power (covered by lunar slot). Solar slots can be used for whatever you want.

I still have to figure out whether the abilities on the Forbidden knowledge can be replaced, how that fits together, but in a nutshell i am planning to replace
Goggles
Necklace
Trinket
Belt
Gloves
Bracers

Will change stats on Dino ring as Dex will no longer be required, but a work in progress

Before I TR'd away from Ranger I ended up with a mix of gear (including MD) but sadly I didnt take notes.

I can probably rebuild it based on still having augs in the gear I used.

Edit:
Here are some thoughts (note there are quite a few gaps because I havent spent time specifically farming for any of the items). This also means there are a few overlaps, and there are some missing buffs which maybe could be covered by augments. I dont do serious end game content so would probably go with whatever I could find.

Eyes - Leg. Goggles of the Archer (Doubleshot 9%, Dodge Bypass 5%, Greater Marksman, Insight Armor Pierce 11), Green, Colorless, Sun
Head - Dreadstalker set / Devil's Inferno
Neck - Leg. Pendant of Silence (UMD 6, Melodic Guard, Soundproof, Sonic Resist 56), Green, Colorless, Moon
Trinket - Leg. Periapt of Dex (Dex 15, Insight Seeker 6, Qual Dodge 3, Reflex 13), Green, Colorless, Sun

Feet - Leg. Admiral's Gumshoes (Speed 30%, Seeker 14, Deception 11), Green, Colorless
Ring 1 - Leg. Ring Unnatural Accuracy (Qual Dex 3, Qual Doubleshot 3, Greater Marksman), Green, Colorless
Ring 2 - Leg. Ring of Prowess (Deadly 10, Accuracy 20, Ranged Power 8), Green, or maybe a Leg. Celestial Sapphire Ring (Str, Imp. Deception, Dodge 13%, Profane Well Rounded 2), Yellow
Wrist - Leg. Bracers of Unseen Assassin (Imp Deception 21, Deception 12), Green, Colorless, Moon
Armor - Dreadstalker set / Devil's Inferno
Weapon - Leg. Twisted Willow (or Chaosbow or the MD raid bow) (Keen, Elastic, Poison 6, Armor Pierce 20%), Red (I went with Leg. Coalescent Ruby)


MD Augment options:
Sun (Artifact): 2 available
Dodge 15%
Dex 4
MRR / PRR

Moon (Profane): 4 available

A few months later I figured it out and the improvements were noticeable.

Three piece Stalker.

MD Raid boot, necklace, bracers, belt.

Two MD raid bows, one with salt, the other with dust.

Autumn Equinox (FINALLY!)

Other ring for spell power (22 imbue dice)

Bunch of augments.
