lvl 17 ranger put the stats badly

[mismiso]

Hello!

Im a completely new player to everquest, and my first character just hit lvl 17, and people told me to look up on eq wiki how to advance further.

As i was browsing the wiki i found the ranger character creation menu, and it said that i put my 20 starter stats to the wrong stat. (i put 20 to dexterity instead of str)

Should i restart my character, or can i later fix this issue?

Thx for the replies:

Doesn't really matter that much. Since it's your first char and it generally takes longer to level, you might want to just stick with it.

If you really feel like restarting, hit me up via PM here or in game and I'll get you to level 10 or maybe a little further.

Don't sweat it. DEX should help you with your archery hits as well as proc rates (unless I am mistaken).

Don't worry about it.

You'll easily hit the STR hard cap at end game (it's much easier than you'd think) and you put it in DEX which helps bow damage [citation needed] and weapon procs, so you're fine.

Unfortunately you probably should - 17 is pretty quick. Otherwise your entire eq life you’ll wish you had more strength...and btw str is the most undervalued stat imo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure bow damage scales off of STR here.

Edit: @OP If you want to reroll, do it now before you invest any more time into your character. If you reroll and want to min-max, make sure you pick Tunare as your deity.

Also, you should reroll if you picked a Half-elf, because Half-elves are dumb.

Maybe you're right.

I know STR raises ATK, which probably improves bow damage. It probably applies to all weapons.

I'd stick with it. It's easy to find gear with STR. My ranger is 54 and has okay gear and I sit at 230 self buffed.

Nothing really matters.

The true slogan of Rangers.

I'd leave it as is. When you get higher, you'll start wanting proccing weapons, and you will find yourself very glad you rolled so much dex. Leave as be is my advice. And yeah, archery crits too, but lets face it that's not huge in this era.
