Gotta make dat $$$

[Snaggles]

You only need about 500p to make a ranger fun. Obviously more is better.
At this point you can track down wisps and sell the light stones. Kill dervs and sell the bronze weapons. Group in unrest (Harmony there is amazing) and level quick while making some cash. Same with Mistmoore in your 30’s. I’d personally do outdoor zones instead of dungeons to help your survival odds.

If intent on gearing before you grind, a solo class can level and make money way faster than even a twinked ranger. Pick your second favorite class and once you have a bit of cash give it to the ranger and pick that back up.

There is no race in this game. Kick your shoes off and enjoy the time-sink.
