New Looking for tips

No matter how much faster xp may be on another race/class combo, it won't be xp on a ranger, and if that is what you want to play then that is what you should play.

Honestly, the xp penalty on a character you enjoy isn't that big a deal - all it means is you get to spend more time enjoying levelling on a character you enjoy.

All three servers are mature enough that you will find people just hand you decent gear if you are falling behind the curve.

I was fighting in Kurn's tower in my teens with some combine (bad vendor purchased) weapons, and Chantalicious saw me then straight up handed me a Rod of Lamentations (drops from the level 60 boss of the undead area of Old Sebilis, the highest level xp zone on green at the moment).

The racer levellers have all hit 50+ now, so people don't really care that much if you are bringing a big hybrid or race xp penalty to group. It's all twink alts and chill paced people levelling atm.

If you don't enjoy the ranger you can always reroll.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I did not stay with the ranger, in fact I now have a level 12 Paladin. I would see a dwarf in-game and almost every time I wanted to make one right after.

I have a more fun than expected with this game. I managed to make 100 plat or so have found someone to make me the brand armor for my Paladin. Now trying to find a decent weapon, mine not great. Any ideas what where I can get a decent weapon and shield fore level 12 dwarf Paladin?

Crushbone has Orc Trainer camp on the Hill that drops Shiny Brass Shield you could probably nab in a group around your level.

Weapon wise, you're best bet is saving up a bit more and getting a ghoulbane, but Polished Granite Tomahawk was always a cheap and fun weapon for lowbie tanks and it should be had for 50plat or less on green according to the Wiki.
