Lartanin's Ranger Solo Guide

[Khoram]

Quick noob question here - my low level ranger is constantly encumbered despite putting 20 points into strength. What are some good low level +str items that sell cheaply (I can remember things like purity belt, but that's about it), and/or what is a web site I can use to find info like that? I went to Allakhazam but despite it showing a whole slew of filters they are all greyed out and I can't seem to use them.

I bought a dented brass mask, some cheap +3 str earrings, a spiked collar, and iksar scaled gloves to deal with the encumbrance issues. Bone armplates are cheap, but you'll take a minor dex hit to wear them.

The biggest thing I found is to use medicine bags instead of backpacks. They're sold in Kaladim and I believe in South Qeynos, so you should have access to them not too far from wherever you started your ranger.

Go there. Click on what slot you are looking for. Click the Str tab to pull items with the most strength. Sort through and make a list of what items you want. If you click the link it will show the average price.

The items states above are good for sure.

Hero bracers, iiksar scaled gloves, dwarves work boots, bloodstained mantle, +3 str earring, +7str/+7int neck, ivy etched sleeves, werewolf pelt cloak[forget name] ... That's a few. If you dual wield the green jade broadsword has STR too. And sarnak hide mask I think is +5 or go mask of wurms

[gildor]

Don't overlook a springwood stave as a hold over between the swifty and woodsmans...31/42 still decent ratio and only like 400p

You can go the other way about it too by picking up cheap low weight gear such as azure sleeves (decent ac item).

Ivy etched armour isn't too hard to quest. Some of that is +str.

When out on adventures for long times try to purchase expensive gems as a way to 'bank' your unwanted gold/silver/copper. Its much more weight efficient.

Weight reduction bags are clutch for this as well.
Good ones =
Sewn bag of evil eye
light burlap sack
large soiled bag

Affordable ones = Lionhide backpack. Handmade backpack. Shralok pack.

Sory for the truth.

Should get a fungi, CoF, and Woodsman and give it another go. Pretty fun class if you have the minimum required gear.
