I started a Ranger!
Xenomorph
Ranger. I just know I wanted to see in the dark and start near Freeport
(Kelethin is the closest Ranger guild).
I actually ended up with a Female/Human Ranger near Qeynos! This past few
weeks I have made many trips from Freeport to Qeynos and back with another
character (my Druid). So even though I may be in Qeynos, I know how to get
my ass to Freeport. Plus I have friends and higher level characters that can
provide me with a Greater Lightstone (I already bougt a regular Lightstone),
and I actually got to wear a Heatstone a magician summoned. So being a blind
human is no big deal I guess.
These are my stats, tell me what you think.
STR 95
STA 85
AGI 95
DEX 75
WIS 80
INT 75
CHA 75

Good for you!
Human is the way to go... no XP penalty. The lack of infravision is no
big deal when you can get a greater lightstone basically for free, IMO.
If you're twinking your character, you should probably get a glowing
stone band (infravision) or a 2H-silvery war axe (serpent sight,
infravision) though... it IS nice to have.

That's not a BAD distribution of stats necessarily... for the long-
term, however, I'd advise putting ALL my bonus points into strength. If
you really want to split them up, put the extras into dexterity-- high
agility is completely useless, you wasted 5 points there.

Rangers get a 25% exp penalty to start. Humans get a 10% exp bonus.
Makes it still a 15% exp penalty. Not much of a difference I know,
just clarifying it a little bit.

How much would a Glowing Stone Band cost? Any idea? I'd started an Erudite
Enchanter, but I ended up putting it on hold after the second or third time I
got lost and fell in the river after dark, or got killed by that stupid
poacher. (By the way, Nektulos is *not* the worst newbie zone in the game. Tox
Forest is *much* worse. The critter population is just as low, and the maximum
sight range seems to be about half what it is in Nektulos. Not to mention the
fog is (for me, anyway) a puke-a-rific shade of green. The terrian around the
gate also appears to be very hilly, which makes it very easy to get totally
lost. Now I know why the first thing every young Erudite does is move to
Qeynos.)

Just remember that you can now train your ranger at the guild master
in Kithicor Woods. The guildmaster is located in Kithicor's house, if
I'm understanding the posts about it correctly. If you do decide to
live in Freeport at some time, it sure beats taking the boat to
Faydwer and trying to navigate GF.
Rangers are great fun to play, you have made a good decision.
take care,

they cost?
The only thing I have that I could give my Ranger from my level 18 Druid is
maybe a few weapons (Runed Totem Staff, Tentacle Whip) and some money..
and about my stats... i've seen EVERYBODY aggree that STR is important (and
i agree, i always want more so i can carry more stuff), and everybody agrees
that STA is NOT important... but i always see people disagree over AGI and
DEX... I do not know what to believe.. i just know AGI was in green when i
made my character, and DEX was not... i can get some +2 DEX Derv rings
easily to try to balance it out(i always seem to have backpacks full of them
i just get rid of all the time).. but where can i find out the truth about
AGI and DEX?
I see AGI as defense. (Higher AGI = Less hits to me) and I see DEX as
offense (Higher DEX = More times I hit them)

it.. i was told there was a extremely high level NPC in the zone though, so
i stayed clear of it... (i died like once from lvl 12 to 18 because i play
it safe :) ) i was told it is locked with no way to get in... then again the
whole zone is dark and no one i have ever met knows whats in it or why it

No, not even close. Kithicor's house is at -556 by 1947; the new

Thanks for the correction. I hadn't checked it out myself yet, just
remembered someone here saying it was in the "house by the named
grizzly." Guess they were confused.
I'll have to check out Kith now that it has all these new mysterious
things going on within it. Although I am a bit sad, I kind of liked
the spooky, quiet, dark woods feel it had - hope it isn't too overrun
with mobs now.

except to say that DEX helps attacks and AGI helps defense. Other than that
basic principal, you'll find a lot of different opinions as to which is more
important. My feeling is to balance them along with STR and STA. If you're
going to play your ranger past level 30, then remember you get a +18 AGI
buff spell at 15 and a +15 STR buff spell at 30, but no DEX or STA buff.
This means that you probably want to spend more time and money going after
DEX and STA items and just pick up the STR and AGI items when convenient.
I'm currently at level 28 and finding a single item that can boost any of
the four stats as much as one of those buffs is unheard of at that level.
Instead I've relied on picking up pieces here and there. Since we only have
a limited number of slots, it gets to be a game in and of itself trying to
figure out what to replace with what. I've concentrated on boosting DEX and
I've got it nicely into the 100s. AGI has been well into the 100s for as
long as I can remember. STR is still only in the upper 90s, but that'll
change when I hit 30. STA is lagging and I need spend more time working on
it.
When you get to the point where you can buy player-made jewelry, try to get
those that boost two stats instead of just one. You want to get the most
out of each of your wearable slots. Rings, bracelets and earrings are nicer
than necklaces and face jewelry; you only have one face and one neck. You
also want to research jewel availability: Black Pearl jewelry is nice
(boosts both AGI and DEX), but since it's only dropped by mobs, the rarity
drives the price up. Fire Emeralds (boosts DEX and STR), on the other hand,
are sold by vendors and hence much more available. With an early AGI buff,
the Fire Emeralds make much more sense to a ranger than does Black Pearl.

Humans do not get a 10% experience "bonus", they simply have NO penalty!

The glowing stone band, very cheaply... maybe 50 plat or so. The 2-
handed silvery war axe, fairly cheap... maybe 900 plat or so. The stone
band comes from Solusek A (I think), and the Axe is from Permafrost.

Here's the truth.
Agility up to 80 increases your running speed, any more than 80 makes
no difference. When you DO get overloaded, the higher your agility the
further it has to go to get below 80 and slow you down. Every couple
points of agility increases your armor class by one, much like every
couple points of stamina increases your HP. Above 100 you get a
bonus for high agility, but it doesn't seem to make a big difference if
you get MUCH beyond 100. Agility has no effect beyond this.
Dexterity has a *noticeable* effect on melee chance to hit, chance of
your weapons proc'ing, overcoming interruptions in spellcasting,
effectiveness of your dodge, parry, and riposte skills, and most trade
skills.
Strength is by *far* the most important stat. Higher strength adds
directly to your ATK value, in that 1 point of strength is 1 point of
ATK. It also increases your max damage and increases the number of
times you GET max damage (along with dexterity) at high levels.
Finally, +AGI items are pathetically easy to come across in the game.
Dexterity and Strength much less so.
Go for STR and DEX.

dexterity is paramount for a ranger since dual wielding is really the
only way to go with a ranger. You want to be hitting as often as possible
and weapon effects will go off like fireworks (double Ykesha's anyone?).
Not to mention I do believe agility and dexterity are also important
because they factor into parrying, dodging, and riposting. Of course,
rangers are now even better at dodging and parrying thanks to the new
patch, so there is even more incentive to pump agility and dexterity.
Strength? What, so you carry more stuff and you do max hit for 1 more
point of damage every 6 or 7 points or strength? Big deal. I'll take
a quad attack and kick that actually hit instead. Rangers don't wear heavy
plate anyway, I'm only at about 54 pounds with all of my equipment.
Stamina? Useless. Strength? Sure I'll take some if it's for free. Wisdom?
It's just mana, rangers are tanks, not wizards. My agility is somewhere
around 173 and avoiding all three attacks, a double slash and a bash, is
a real treat. Three attacks are routinely around 250 damage at
higher levels. Keep in mind rangers are meant to be a lithe, agile class
hence the insanely high dodge cap and the exclusive cat feet spell.
In retrospect I can't emphasize how much more important dexterity is than
strength for offense. At higher levels it means your weapon effect going
off for 60+ damage, two or more times per mob.

Avoid the TT whip. It really is no good, I am just lucky I sold it for more
than I bought one for. If you are looking for a weapon for your Ranger, get
a Dragoon Dirk. The dmg/delay is very good, but this is all just my opinion.

philosophy, IMO. You can acquire a Shiny Brass Shield for
protection until you get Dual Wield ability. Start out with
a mino axe and work your way to Dual Wielding dwarven axes,
until you are good enough (or rich enough) to acquire
magical weapons.
I just made 20th yesterday, and I generally DW dwarven axes
until I have the opponent under control. Then I place a
Dragoon Dirk in the off hand to try and get my piercing

I didnt want to turn you off of the TT whip too much. If you have the
scimitar, you should be doing great with the whip as a backup. I am just a
little bitter because I had scraped everything I had and sold my dwarven axe
to get the whip. I got very lucky that I found a buyer for the whip and
found a dwarven axe cheaper than I sold mine for.

Sorry?
There are ranger only weapons out there. Trust me.
And keep your 2hs good as well. You'll need it mid
twenties,
I currently use a Blackened Iron Bastard sword
(2hs, big damage, slow)
Polished tommie and silvery war axe/Dragoon dirk
(waitin on a promised fix from GM to change dirk to lost axe)
Polished tommie and chitin shield
depending on exactly what I'm fighting and my group
dynamics.
My piercing is 8. Which is horrible. But every day, I log
in and check to see if its changed to the axe yet.
No luck so far ;)

Honestly, I wouldn't get too upset over not being able to pick up a pair of
them. The bug (assuming you've heard about it) is every bit as nasty as
people are saying. Been hanging out in Guk on the live side for a while (a
whole lot fewer trains), and managed to get a pair. Great ratio, and when
the spell goes off (doing 49 damage at 39th lvl) the swords just seem
amazing. The nasty part is the bug. When Ensnaring Roots goes off, it
cancels out any Snare or Root spells on the mob, and doesn't allow any of
those spells to take hold for up to 10 or 15 seconds later sometimes. If
you've got a good group who's used to it, you can get around that by using
stun spells to stun all the runners and either chop them down, nuke them, or
eventually snare them. Works ok with one or two mobs and can be worked
around, but when you're in a tight room with 4 or more mobs and you hit most
of them at one time or another making a roomful of unsnareable/unrootable
runners, you've got the potential for some serious trains. Outdoors and
when there's not a real danger of trains I use the swords all the time, but
as soon as I head indoors to Guk or Sol B, the 2 swords go straight into the
Box and out come my trusty old claw and Dragoon Dirk. Less damage, but far
less likely to get your entire party killed.
You have to love the irony of it, though. The sword was obviously meant to
complement a ranger's specialty, snaring everything that moves and
preventing runners, but all it really does is causes unstoppable runners
that get everyone around you killed. <sigh> Hopefully they'll either get
around to fixing it or put all those new weapons in soon, possibly even in
today's patch.

lucky. I was about to rest for the evening (log off) when
my partner Btear, who is 100pp richer, was attacked by the
named gnoll. By the time it was dead, we were both down to
2 bbls of health due to 4 or 5 other gnolls of various
types accompanying him. I had to zone and he was smarter
and went to the Captain of the guards.
Although I have not battled much since then, the berserker
strength goes off most fights and I routinely start the
fight with the dragoon dirk in the off hand. I think my
piercing is all the way up to 12...hehe. Of course, if it
is a green, I use the dwarven axe instead of the dirk, due
to no skill advancement against the greens.
Thanks Btear! And does anyone want to buy a dwarven axe? I
have 3 in the bank now :)
