Best starting stats for a Wood Elf Ranger?

[Jimjam]

Wear cloth/tattered/raw-hide that you come across. Get a Green Jade broadsword, sword of skyfire or silver swiftwind for 50pp. Save 90pp for banded. Get some platinum fire rings for 250 each.

If you want to do some questing Ivy Etched armour is good, you can start in your 20s. Late 20s you can fear kite snow cougars in iceclad for cougar claw earrings.

If you want to hunt for armour upgrades late 30s/40s start an orc fort group in eastern wastes for rygor armour. Some nice earrings drop there too.

If you want to get to your spell levels asap I found the best way to do that is to focus on killing (decaying) skeletons until level 5. This will earn you about 30pp in loot from cloth/rusty armour/etc (try use this to negotiate a good price on a weapon) and give you 2 backpacks full of bone chips, which should be enough to take to Kaladim and turn in at the paladin guild to xp up to level 9 or 10.

If you are low on strength, you can fight in guk late teens and earn some mesh armour, which is okay AC for the level but really low weight, letting you carry more loot.
