Thanks, for the guide, it's pretty useful for a new ranger. I dinged 18 today, and the cash is flowing in Lesser Faydark, although the xp is starting to slow down.

At what level should I think about replacing my silver swiftblade? It's still hitting pretty hard, but I'd like to keep an eye out for deals on higher level weapons.

Arrows aren't cheap, I can't wait till I can use a Tolan's Bracer. But I've started getting crits with them, and wearing stuff down before I melee it has definitely reduced my downtime. I didn't think to med in between shots until I read this. I do med between casts healing myself, which has helped a ton.

Honestly, that nice ratio on the Silver Swiftblade will serve you well for a while. Just be sure to keep root mem'd once you've got it, especially if you're grouped with a warrior tank as many low-/mid-level warriors will have trouble out-agroing the Swiftblade. Save your pennies for http://wiki.project1999.com/Woodsman%27s_Staff (it's not necessarily as expensive as the wiki shows, I saw one just today auctioned for 6k).

It's kinda stupid that there's a single non-epic weapon that's so head and shoulders better than everything else for your class, but on the bright side Ranger is not super popular here and not every Ranger realizes just how much better the Woodsman's is than everything else, so the price is very reasonable.
