The Dream of an Affordable Ranger Twink

[halfer777]

Howdy y'all. I'll cut to the chase; how much money will it take to twink a ranger up? I currently have a 41 enchanter, and i've been having a great time multitasking this game on money spots that give any amount of exp. (i milked the sister's island in OOT until i couldn't get any more experience from them, and bought myself Jboots; one of many childhood dreams achieved. I love clickies!)

These days i'm charm soloing halfling guards for their spears. Deputy Budo is quite the force to be reckoned with! All this enchanting is making me thirst for the fun of those nice big melee numbers, however. I already bought a Silver Switftblade and a Runed Oak Bow, still hunting for that Springwood Stave until i can somehow haggle down the price of a Woodsman Staff.

So i have weapons covered, as far as i can tell. Any more helpful suggestions that don't cost over 2k would be well-received.

What's an approximate amount of platinum i should expect to spend on a twinking adventure for a ranger? just so i'm decent, i don't have infinite platinum reserves, although i sort of do, it will just take a loooong time.

And just to pre-emptively strike at the statement, I am going to be a ranger for roleplaying purposes, as well as snaring the hell out of everything. I really like the druid line of spells, and what better time to play a hybrid than when the hybrid penalty is removed?

Thanks for whatever suggestions you have!
