human or wood elf ranger (female)

[wagorf]

Before I invest heavily (few hundred k) - aside from min/max stats perspective, which race you prefer?

To me, I see the following.

Human: No night vision. Can wear robe. Custom helm not unique (same as male).

Wood elf: Cannot wear robe. Slashing animation looks weak. Custom helm is good looking.

It might be helpful to make a list of the ranger-usable robes for your consideration:
• Guardian Robe - super-rare, but farmable. Blue-and-purple with 12ac, 5sta, 8int, 45mana, 7mr, and 7fr. https://wiki.project1999.com/Guardian_Robe
• Robe of the Azure Sky - not sure how hardcore you are about raiding, but this wouldn't be an option for any but the most hardcore on P99. https://wiki.project1999.com/Robe_of_the_Azure_Sky
end of list

Also, you can get a Glowing Stone Band to put on at night for Infravision; and it's actually easy to get a Helm of the Tracker, which grants Truesight (See Invis + Ultravision). https://wiki.project1999.com/Helm_of_the_Tracker

Definitely human Ranger. The wood elf racials offer no benefits really since rangers already get hide and forage. And the possibility of a robe one day is nice.

Also you’ll want to get the helm of the tracker asap which has an ultravision effect so make sure you go Tunare.

[Tunabros]

Human ranger!

you'll thank me later when you see the custom helm of the tracker

wood elf hat is funny >_<

[fiveeauxfour]

Whatever you do, just know that worshiping Tunare is a thirst trap.

Praise be to Karana!

I did male human ranger for my twink toy, but for female I’d go wood elf.

[Tethler]

I made my ranger on green Half-Elf because I like the half elf armor models. If you're dedicated enough to get a robe, definitely Human though.

[Tunabros]

all people should be human character

PD robe for da win!

[Snaggles]

Wood elf fungi fashion is by far the worst. I usually wear a tranix anyways.
So half elf :D

I'm tempted to try to farm a guardian robe sometime. Though I'm half-elf with no robe model, my guise will make it show up in DE form, which also sounds super cool.

[wagorf]

i am thinking of wearing ccom for fashion, so human lack of night vision is a bit frustrating

not considering half elf because its female custom helm doesnt look good

[Tethler]

Rangers do get infravision spell at 30 (eyes of the cat) ultravision at 56 (chill sight) if that makes a difference.

[Crede]

Wood elf war is the real move

Fixed. Solid mask even without the ultravision.

[bricke75]

Male wood elves with Tracker helm look like they have Downs syndrome.

[Pint]

Human unless you're RPing as gay in which case choose elf

Mine is a wood Elf male - the robe thing wasn't on my radar when I created and remains unimportant to me. What was on my radar was the night blindness- to me, waiting 30 levels to see in the dark or having to wear particular items would be a chore. That said, only you know what is right for you! And the female custom helm IS awfully cool looking

Can't really go wrong either way IMHO.

Getting to level 30 is so easy nowadays. I wouldn’t roll a race based on such a short stretch. Focus on things you’ll appreciate when doing the long 51+ Grind imo where the real challenge starts and when you’ll figure out quickly how much you like your race.

That is a really valid point. If he's dropping a few hundred k on his ranger this isn't his first toon. My ranger was my first toon past 20ish and it took me a solid few months to get him into the 30s, if memory serves, but that will not be his situation at all.

thanks for all the feedback, this thread is particular for female wood elf vs. female human

i ended up choosing human, because (1) can wear robe and (2) there are far too many female wood elf melees, whether warriors or rangers and (3) attack animation on female wood elves just don't seem powerful

got her full plate with black custom velious helm, and i cannot be happier with the look (did the same on wood elf but after many visual comparisons from various angles I still picked human)

Solid choice, probably the most rare ranger build.

[unleashedd]

gonna make it less rare by starting one myself (ranger and rogue are the last classes i havent played yet)

Glowing stone black

[wagorf]

wait, how does that help your vision at night? and its only prim and 2nd slot, how do you wield weapons when using gbs

put in open inventory slot

[Kirdan]

GSB = Glowing Stone Band, which is a ring that gives you worn infravision. Great cheap answer for nightblindness on low level humans.

[unleashedd]

yep
