Turn in gnoll fangs in Halas at the warrrior guild master, ok. Collect em in blackburrow. You'll make some money. When you're about level 12-14, go over to West Karana and kill bandits. You can turn in their sashes to Chesgard in qeynos for a bronze weapon. You'll figure out all of this on your own. Training up fletching is not a bad idea, but it's expensive past 92 ( or so ) to train. At level 15, if you make 3 damage arrows and got a decent bow for your level then you'll be surprised how effective rooting + bowing is. Don't forget to train bind wound. You don't get a better heal until level 21 or 22.
And it'll be hard. Go here to see what I mean:

Just think.. There will be 50% less of you (rangers) at level 60 than at levels 1-9. Your population share in a given lvl range will always be less than 4%. But if you truly have a thing for rangers in your soul, you'll do fine.
I recommend reading Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit for inspiration about what rangers are. Another source of ideas is to go over to wikipedia and take a look at this:

May the light of the sun and the path of wisdom guide your way, sir.
