Baby ranger weapons/shield question

[formallydickman]

I've recently leveled a Ranger to 30 and here's my opinion fwiw. Kiss the shield goodbye and embrace Dual Wield and Two-Handers. The best option for you is a two-hander until your off-hand is striking enough in a fight.. usually around 130~ skill it starts really being noticeable and 150+ you can dual attack on your OH attacks. I used a Shiny Brass Halberd and it blew any of my dual wield combos out of the water until lvl 26 or so. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the basic calculation when comparing weapons is (bonus dmg + (wep dmg*2)) / delay right? So the melee bonus isn't actually making it a 7/22 more like a 6.5/22. At every level 1-50 the SSoMorin is inferior to the Ebony Bladed Sword and should be relegated to the OH slot to be replaced with another Ebony Bladed Sword, Sharkjaw Cutlass, or (eventually) Electrum Bladed Wakizashi.

Ebony Bladed Sword 0 7 24 0.5833333333
Short Sword of Morin 0 6 22 0.5454545455

Ebony Bladed Sword 1 7 24 0.625
Short Sword of Morin 1 6 22 0.5909090909

Ebony Bladed Sword 8 7 24 0.9166666667
Short Sword of Morin 8 6 22 0.9090909091

A followup question: which bonus damage is that referring to? What is the source or cause of the bonus damage that is referenced there in that formula?

Main hand damage bonus. It's 1 pt at level 28 and adds a point every 3 levels.

Very nice, thanks.

What's driving me nuts right now is trying to farm the micro servers for the Trueshot quest. Have killed dozens of rogue clockworks in Steamfont without getting a single micro server drop. Is there anyplace else in the game to get that component??

That's the only place. And this is the easy part. Getting fletching high enough to have a reasonable chance at succeeding the Trueshot combine is the tedious/expensive part.

Spoiler: Unless you have a hard-on for doing the Trueshot quest on your own, buying one is probably a lot cheaper than levelling up fletching.
