Rune Oak Bow. 150pp I think
Silver Swiftblade - 100pp


At low levels 1-10, you can practically one shot mobs.
Beyond that, the bow is a decent 1-2 shot dmg right off the back to drop your mob to 80% or so before you start attacking.

If you don't have a Silver Swiftblade.. GET IT. It is by far your max dps you can possibly get for a Ranger from level 1-20. 16/25 2hs is insane stats for a new ranger. Keep a crap 1hs weapon when you are in a group to keep your skill up. Spend 10-15mins on each new level using the 1hs to max the skill then go back to the Swiftblade.
