Level 18 now.. still Havent started using bow yet.. I guess that is a must or I get thrown out of the ranger club :-) What ingrediens should I start combining for arrows? Som vendor selling them near SK?

Takes a point, shaft, fletching, and nock to make an arrow. There's pieces called vanes which look like shafts but are extremely expensive. Just please double check the names before you buy, because an accidental stack of wooden / ceramic vanes could easily wipe out all of your plat.

When fletching I make the cheapest arrow possible to get started. From there I just make the next cheapest arrow with increased range until I am making 150 range arrows. Sometimes I'll make arrows with a slightly higher trivial to further raise my skill and improve success rates on the 150 range arrows, once you are at 90 skill the combine seems to be more or less as reliable as it will get. http://wiki.project1999.com/Fletching includes a table that shows the stat mods different components result in and a table showing most of the possible combinations.

In east karana close to bridge you can buy fletching supplies.

Cecily could tell me a little more about vanes & shafts

[Cecily]

Of course I can! You have your whittling knives?

[Cecily]

Also if you have your smithy hammer ready, I know quite a bit about boning.

So rangers can solo blue con mobs from 22 to 60 using panic animal? Just curious, where would you hunt from 51 to 60 using this tactic? Panic animal was never around when I played my ranger.

There may be a better spot for low 50s, but Western Wastes basically. Mastodons are 45-50, brontotheriums are 45-51, and Velium Hounds are 48-53. I checked out the area a couple days ago (at 60 mind you) and was downing mobs with a snare and about 5 fears. If you kill slower, say twice as long, that's only an extra 50 mana. Pretty excited for all of you that get to chain kill level 50s instead of 2 lv 45s every 15 mins with an exp penalty.

Just make sure you're friendly with CoV or it'll get ugly quick. Besides that the only danger is the ice burrowers which can be easily avoided in the field with a little paranoia. I felt extremely safe hunting there.

You can level straight to 60 in WW, but it's honestly easier to suffer in EW until 52-53 before heading over because the mob HP pools are just enormous. At 51 (with FPD/CSS, CoF, Sky cloak - I'm no gimp) it took around 10 to 12 fears per mob, per kill - the mana wasn't an issue, but it gets tedious, especially with the tiny brontotherium hitbox. It gets easier as you outlevel the mobs and do more dps, I'm sure.
