Silver swift blade> spring wood staff > woodsman'a staff > epic. If you're looking to mess around a little I'd suggest looking at a crystalline short sword, lupine dagger, lamentation, jade mace. Those are all about 1:2 ratio and although a drop off in dps, sometimes a fun change of you have money. Steel jilted flint dagger is also a fun toy but not a serious weapon

Keep all of your weapons skills up as you level. You'll regret it if you don't.

These people are correct. A good Ranger maxes all weapon skills every level. Swiftblade is the best weapon for quite a while. Woodsman is best overall except epics, which you will have a really hard time getting. I would say swiftblade + haste are your first priorities. Probably both will run you around 10-12k, depending on the sash prices. Swiftblade itself is cheap.
