New Ranger - Self Found - What items to seek?

[Jimjam]

A vendor bought claymore makes a good starter weapon for 'self found' characters.

Jagged pine crook for magic attacks.

Bloodforge hammer is a quest you can consider.

Once you can kill wisps you can farm lightstones/greater lightstones to hand into gypsies or south ro dark elves for xp / cash items.

I did this on my self found warrior until about level 17 and had enough platinum to buy a full set of vendor purchased plate! You could get the vendor purchased chain if you aren't interested in smithing; don't be put off by the high price because the resale value is actually pretty good.

+1 Was pretty happy when I learned that. Makes filling in slots on random alts easy. It sells for 10% less than you paid for I believe. Effectively making the chainmail cost roughly the same as banded from a player.
