Newbie ranger weapons

[Samoht Farstrider]

Hi all,

Just got my ranger up to level 4. Actually might be 3 now that I just died earlier this morning.

Anyways, I was lucky enough to receive a Nature's Wrath from a kind ranger. I accidentally destroyed my newbie sword so it's the only weapon I am using right now. I was able to save up and purchased some patchwork armor from vendor so I got that covered.

I managed to foraged a couple of Morning Dew and have been trying to sell them so I can buy some weapons.

What cheap newbie magic weapons should I lookout for?
Do I need to keep all the weapons skills up or stick to 1-handers?
