Ranger twink

[Trollhide]

I'm about at the point where I can sell off pretty much all my alt gear and barely be able to afford a fungi, but I'm not sure which option is going to result in faster leveling for a ranger:

Option 1:
Fungi, FBSS, cheap .5 ratio weapons like Jade Maces or Lamentations, shitty armor like banded or ivy etched

Option 2:
Iksar BP that I already have, FBSS, and about 30k in piecemeal armor like SC wristbands, better weapons (Woodsman's Staff), WW Dragon armor, Black Sapphire Electrum earrings, etc

What would you do? I'm kind of leaning towards the fungi cause a lot of the gear in option 2 could probably be replaced by thurg chain when I near the 50s.

If I put my mind to it I can probably scratch together around 5k a week for future upgrades toward option 1
