Make a buttload of arrows and solo a red con mob with sow. This sounds like a waste of time but getting a hero bracers way before you can tank and spank, or a short sword of Morin, orc impaler. 6-30 damage and not getting hit is nothing to laugh about in classic.

Cannot stress this enough. I was able to farm Karg Icebear (level 35/36) solo at level 15 using nothing but vendor arrows and sow pots (couldn’t land any spells on him). It felt like a huge accomplishment to get the gigantic zweihander and his cloak. I’m still using the zweihander and I probably won’t ever sell it because it’s my “trophy”. Big game hunting is very rewarding on the ranger.

Also, thanks Lartanin for your awesome guide.
