STR +++ then AC/HP, then just derp around killing blues on track. STA gear is kinda shite. Wouldn't ever actively gear for it until your STR is capped which spoiler it won't be.

This is my ranger's Magelo as it stands:

It seems I put 20 points into starting strength, and still uncapped unbuffed/self buffed.

I hope this is a useful point of reference for you Bengala. It supports Cecily's point that gearing for STR won't easily cap you.

Since there are a few knowledgeable rangers in this thread, I politely request a quick hijack-

What would be a quick and easy way to add +16 strength (to hit cap self buffed)?

From that photo I can clearly see that you have a Windstriker. That bow has great stats for a classic item, but you could gain an additional +20 strength if you looted a War Bow of Rallos Zek. That bow pretty much fixes all your stat problems.

If anyone wants to persist the great info in this thread, the https://wiki.project1999.com/Equipping_a_Ranger page on the wiki is off to a great start, but could use some of the great suggestions here.

Ah yes, Tsiraka's Claws, a notable secondary weapon.

3 HP > 1 worn AC for defensive stats
Stam up to 205 is worth 4.2 HP at 60
Haste as high as you can is the first priority for offense
Str is easily capped at max with buffs and you're unlikely to play the game solo
Worn Haste > Worn AoB > Str for offensive stats
Get a good bow for root rotting early on and get some decent weapons
getting your survivability as high as possible should be a priority

the stat weights I use for gearing at 60 are
Str = 3 up to 120
Stam = 4.2 up to 205
Agi = 3
HP = 1
1 worn AC = 3.1
MR = 2
all other resists = 1.1

do with that what you will
