Ranger EquipFollow

This is what I'll be wearing at least, I made a list of RNG suited equip up to lvl 30 and this is the armor section basically. You may disagree with some items (people have opinions), but generally I think most would agree this list is accurate.

I apologize for the formatting, it's really hard to do in this tiny text window, and this thing obviously doesn't copy tabs over, sorry.

And for god sakes, always have your Rangers Necklace on!

I prefer daggers, it's personal preference. The rings listed are +1, it just doesn't say it. Body armor isn't listed because you can use any, there is nothing specific.

As a ranger on Asura (Just got it last weekend but am already to 30). Here are my suggestions as what I have.

First of all strider boots ARE NOT in anyway cheaper. LOL. Have you SEEN THE PRICE they are anywhere from 2.5 mil to 4 mil on most servers. Now I would love one of these as think about how great of a puller you would but I dont plan on spending all of my 3 mil on one pair of boots at least not yet.

As for the bow I suggest sticking with hunters this is debatable but most high lvl rangers told me this was good and I like it for the low delay.

Dont get bone earings get silver earings. WHY? Because bone earings boost ur attack...so what as a ranger you shouldn't worry about your "attack" and only worry about your "ranged attack" i suggest getting silver for when you get that unexpected agro. (silver is opposite of bone it gives you + evasion)

I stayed away from the brave belt cause of the agility thing that might be fine for you. But I dont like missin even if it is only a .5 ra difference.

(BTW I am a lvl 30 ranger/15 nin with blink and dual archers knives, leaping boots, emperors hairpin....well you get the picture I did not skimp when it came to my equipment and always use the best ammo i suggest using beetle or horn normally and putting /equip ammo "Silver Arrows" for when you use sharpshot.

I would argue that any piece of equipment that boosts AGI or STR is good for a RNG, and even Mithra have two pieces of RSE that boost STR.

Maybe you need STR to make up for your ability to hit everything...

Maybe I need AGI to make up for my strength to actually be able to pull the string on the bow back... =)
