	===Starting Stats===		===Starting Stats===
	Setting up your new Ranger for success. Each person has his or her own ideas on starting stats for a ranger, but here is one that can be used without too many problems and will enable you to advance fairly quickly in your profession. Rangers have three stats in our main sphere of influence. These are Reflexes, Agility, and Strength. In addition, since we are a combat guild, we need stamina and discipline. Since we do things across all the spectrum (survival, weapons, armor, magic, and lore), we tend to need to start out boosting our stats to be fairly even so we can train fairly well with just about everything. Each race comes with a specific stat set up and you have 600 ~~TDP's~~ (Training ~~Developement~~ Points) to adjust your stats for your first hunting session. The final set up you end up with is determined by the race of your character. As a starting point get stamina to 14 for races with 10 or more starting stamina. This is good to enable you to use more weapons including heavier ones, wear most armors without too much difficulty, and to take a few hits without going down on the first hit. If your race starting stamina is under 10 then get stamina to 12. Then as a basic rule of thumb try to get the rest of your stats to 12, ~~specially~~ the 5 key ones and intelligence and wisdom. Any ~~TDP's~~ left over can be placed where you want them. But bottom line, use all the ~~TDP's~~ you can use. Any that are left over will carry over to your next circle. To raise your stats, use DIR LIST TRAINING to get to the various stat training areas. Once there TRAIN, then STUDY to gain 1 on your stat. Each stat is also a command that will give you information on the stat and how many ~~TDP's~~ it will take to raise it one. For instance, using STAMINA will give you the basic information on the stamina stat.		Setting up your new Ranger for success.

	* CRAFT SKILLS - The five craft skills can be learned in the same basic manner, ~~though~~ ~~ENCHANTING~~ is not yet ~~active~~ yet. To learn the skill you must get tools from the society buildings (or buy them at really high prices from trader shops) and a book for the craft you want to work. Each ranger has a career and hobby they can select. I don't recommend selecting one till all of crafting is released. Crafting allows you to make things such as armor, weapons, adventuring gear, healing remedies, and other things as it gets filled in. You won't need a career or hobby to work crafting so don't be afraid to try any and all of it to see what you like.		* CRAFT SKILLS - The five craft skills can be learned in the same basic manner; however, some of the disciplines have not yet been released and cannot yet be used.

	** Snipe Mode - The snipe mode can be done a number of ways. I will give you one here but there are enough steps you can change how you do them if you want to. It basically boils down to getting your weapon in hand, early you don't want to use a shield as it adds to your load time. As you get much older you can use a small shield with spells to reduce the load time but that is down the road for this discussion. Key things to do when using a bow. LOAD MY <Bowtype>, {{com\|AIM}} <chest> (note aim will default to what your facing), {{com\|HIDE}}, {{com\|STALK}}, when the aim is ready, {{com\|POACH}} (note at circle 40 you can get snipe and change POACH to [[snipe]]. Snipe will allow you to stay in hiding after the shot if your stealth skill is good enough.). At this point you have options, Poach will bring you out of hiding. So you can repeat the process or {{com\|RETREAT}} one if your getting hit too much before loading and restarting the process. If you kill the critter, retreat twice and use {{com\|ARRANGE}} skin your critter, and {{com\|LOOT}} the critter. Now there is a reason you want to stalk the critters. First they tend to try and leave the room with your arrows stuck in them when your hidden and they can't find you. So stalking helps you track the one down your trying to kill and not loose too many arrows in the process. If it leaves the room {{com\|TRACK}} should take you to the critter so you can finish it off and get your arrows back.		** Snipe Mode - The snipe mode can be done a number of ways.

	** Stealth Secret - Ok everyone needs to understand how you learn the most stealth. The two methods above work well but why? First each critter limits how much stealth you can learn off them. If you are at melee range you can learn 5 times off each critter. Pole range 3 times. Missile range 2 times. Early you might not be able to use a bow at melee range so it will teach a bit less stealth for you. That's why ambush mode is listed. To learn well you will most likely have to use both methods. As a ranger you really need your defenses so I suggest you work both. In fact when you start out use melee weapons so you can build up some evasion skill to help you avoid getting hit when using the bow.		** Stealth Secret - Ok everyone needs to understand how you learn the most stealth.

	** Breaking and Entering - Or as we like to call it burgle mode. When the guide was first created Burgle did not exist. But since it does now you can use burgle to train Stealth. In addition it also can train Locksmithing or Athleticism and Thievery. There are a lot of ways to do this but as a new Burgle professional, you need to know the easy safe way to get you started properly. First major towns have pretty high fines if you are caught (Crossing, Riverhaven, Shard, Theren, Leth, etc.) and the higher your circle the higher the fine. It can go over 160 plat kronars. So you should burgle in small places like wolf clan, tiger clan, dirge, kaerna, Arthe Dale, etc. because in those places they either beat you up or cut off your right hand when you are caught. Now step one don't wear armor or shield. When you go into a clan for instance tiger clan, if you use JUSTICE you will see if the area is a justice area. So you can burgle in tiger clan. If you have spells to boost reflexes (SOTT) or help you hide (EM and or blend) use them. You should always get in the habit to HIDE in the room at night you don't need to but in daylight you do so just get in the habit to hide first. Then use HUNT, this will tell you if someone is adjacent to you an NPC or a guard. If someone is in your room wait or move to another spot, I do the same for adjacent. Then Step 2, you can buy a heavy rope from the supply shop if the rope is in hand or a lockpick is in hand or you are wearing a lockpick ring or lockpick case, you can then do BURGLE. If you have the rope you learn ATHLETICISM if you using a lockpick item you learn LOCKSMITHING and you are now in the kitchen of some poor unfortunates home and hidden. The easy way to handle this is then you either RUMMAGE COUNTER or SEARCH COUNTER (either will work) if you find something its then in your hand and you have just learned some more THIEVERY and you came out of hiding. Your goal next is to get out so GO WINDOW and you have completed your Burgle attempt. You now have a timer to wait till you can do it again for Rangers its 25 to 30 minutes unless you are F2P which is 60 min. BURGLE RECALL will tell you when you can do it again so at this point go train something else or try to sell what you got at the pawn shop. If while you are inside the home you hear footsteps get to the kitchen and go window quickly or you will get caught. I also suggest you read ~~{{com\|~~Breaking_and_Entering}} and {{com\|Burgle}} as well there is good information ~~there~~ to absorb.		** Breaking and Entering - Or as we like to call it burgle mode.

	* Locksmithing - As the popular adage goes, "Waste not, want not." In this instance you are required to train survival skills, so why not make use of the various boxes that creatures drop in order to facilitate that training. It is this line of thinking which has given rise to the popularity of Locksmithing skill among the Ranger guild. For beginners, you might want to do some hunting of [[Sleazy_Lout\|Louts]] outside the East Gate of [[Crossings]] or [[Zombie_Goblin\|Zombie Goblins]] outside the North Gate of [[Riverhaven]]. As a warning, if you do decide to visit the Riverhaven Zombie Goblins, it is recommended that you have a few ranks in combat skills before adventuring to the area. Efficient training of the locksmithing skill requires a lockpick. Also read the Stealth section above on Breaking and Entering.		* Locksmithing - As the popular adage goes, "Waste not, want not."

So stalking helps you track the one down your trying to kill and not loose too many arrows in the process. If it leaves the room {{com\|TRACK}} should take you to the critter so you can finish it off and get your arrows back.		** Snipe Mode - The snipe mode can be done a number of ways. I will give you one here but there are enough steps you can change how you do them if you want to. It basically boils down to getting your weapon in hand, early you don't want to use a shield as it adds to your load time. As you get much older you can use a small shield with spells to reduce the load time but that is down the road for this discussion. Key things to do when using a bow. LOAD MY <Bowtype>, {{com\|AIM}} <chest> (note aim will default to what your facing), {{com\|HIDE}}, {{com\|STALK}}, when the aim is ready, {{com\|POACH}} (note at circle 40 you can get snipe and change POACH to [[snipe]]. Snipe will allow you to stay in hiding after the shot if your stealth skill is good enough.). At this point you have options, Poach will bring you out of hiding. So you can repeat the process or {{com\|RETREAT}} one if your getting hit too much before loading and restarting the process. If you kill the critter, retreat twice and use {{com\|ARRANGE}} skin your critter, and {{com\|LOOT}} the critter. Now there is a reason you want to stalk the critters. First they tend to try and leave the room with your arrows stuck in them when your hidden and they can't find you. So stalking helps you track the one down your trying to kill and not loose too many arrows in the process. If it leaves the room {{com\|TRACK}} should take you to the critter so you can finish it off and get your arrows back.
	** Stealth Secret - Ok everyone needs to understand how you learn the most stealth. The two methods above work well but why? First each critter limits how much stealth you can learn off them. If you are at melee range you can learn 5 times off each critter. Pole range 3 times. Missile range 2 times. Early you might not be able to use a bow at melee range so it will teach a bit less stealth for you. That's why ambush mode is listed. To learn well you will most likely have to use both methods. As a ranger you really need your defenses so I suggest you work both. In fact when you start out use melee weapons so you can build up some evasion skill to help you avoid getting hit when using the bow.		** Stealth Secret - Ok everyone needs to understand how you learn the most stealth.

	** Breaking and Entering - Or as we like to call it burgle mode. When the guide was first created Burgle did not exist. But since it does now you can use burgle to train Stealth. In addition it also can train Locksmithing or Athleticism and Thievery. There are a lot of ways to do this but as a new Burgle professional, you need to know the easy safe way to get you started properly. First major towns have pretty high fines if you are caught (Crossing, Riverhaven, Shard, Theren, Leth, etc.) and the higher your circle the higher the fine. It can go over 160 plat kronars. So you should burgle in small places like wolf clan, tiger clan, dirge, kaerna, Arthe Dale, etc. because in those places they either beat you up or cut off your right hand when you are caught. Now step one don't wear armor or shield. When you go into a clan for instance tiger clan, if you use JUSTICE you will see if the area is a justice area. So you can burgle in tiger clan. If you have spells to boost reflexes (SOTT) or help you hide (EM and or blend) use them. You should always get in the habit to HIDE in the room at night you don't need to but in daylight you do so just get in the habit to hide first. Then use HUNT, this will tell you if someone is adjacent to you an NPC or a guard. If someone is in your room wait or move to another spot, I do the same for adjacent. Then Step 2, you can buy a heavy rope from the supply shop if the rope is in hand or a lockpick is in hand or you are wearing a lockpick ring or lockpick case, you can then do BURGLE. If you have the rope you learn ATHLETICISM if you using a lockpick item you learn LOCKSMITHING and you are now in the kitchen of some poor unfortunates home and hidden. The easy way to handle this is then you either RUMMAGE COUNTER or SEARCH COUNTER (either will work) if you find something its then in your hand and you have just learned some more THIEVERY and you came out of hiding. Your goal next is to get out so GO WINDOW and you have completed your Burgle attempt. You now have a timer to wait till you can do it again for Rangers its 25 to 30 minutes unless you are F2P which is 60 min. BURGLE RECALL will tell you when you can do it again so at this point go train something else or try to sell what you got at the pawn shop. If while you are inside the home you hear footsteps get to the kitchen and go window quickly or you will get caught. I also suggest you read {{com\|Breaking and Entering}} and {{com\|Burgle}} as well there is good information there to absorb.		** Breaking and Entering - Or as we like to call it burgle mode.

	* Locksmithing - As the popular adage goes, "Waste not, want not." In this instance you are required to train survival skills, so why not make use of the various boxes that creatures drop in order to facilitate that training. It is this line of thinking which has given rise to the popularity of Locksmithing skill among the Ranger guild. For beginners, you might want to do some hunting of [[Sleazy_Lout\|Louts]] outside the East Gate of [[Crossings]] or [[Zombie_Goblin\|Zombie Goblins]] outside the North Gate of [[Riverhaven]]. As a warning, if you do decide to visit the Riverhaven Zombie Goblins, it is recommended that you have a few ranks in combat skills before adventuring to the area. Efficient training of the locksmithing skill requires a lockpick. Also read the Stealth section above on Breaking and Entering.		* Locksmithing - As the popular adage goes, "Waste not, want not."

	Like with Magic, Lore is not a primary focus of this Guild. However, you are still required to learn a bit from this skillset in order to advance within the guild. The requirements are minimal, however they must still be met. Lore skills fall into two categories. Craft skills (Engineering, Forging, Outfitting, Alchemy and Enchanting), and Other Lore skills (Scholarship, Performance, Appraisal, ~~Tactics~~ and ~~Mechanical Lore (which wont exist once all of crafting is completed)~~). Each ranger is required to move at least 2 lore skills though we don't need much in them. Some professions even have their own lore skills, such as empaths and EMPATHY skill, etc. For rangers there is no specific ranger lore skill so we must use the main 10 lore skills.

	* MECHANICAL LORE - Eventually this skill will go away when the crafting system is completed and you will transfer the Mechanical Lore skill into one of the craft skills. Currently the best way to train this skill is to braid grass and vines, or pound teeth/fangs into arrowheads. Forage 2 items of grass and 'braid grass' until it becomes a rope. Keep foraging grass and keep braiding it. You will learn mech lore from this.

	* CRAFT SKILLS - The five craft skills can be learned in the same basic manner, though ENCHANTING is not yet active yet. To learn the skill you must get tools from the society buildings (or buy them at really high prices from trader shops) and a book for the craft you want to work. Each ranger has a career and hobby they can select. I don't recommend selecting one till all of crafting is released. Crafting allows you to make things such as armor, weapons, adventuring gear, healing remedies, and other things as it gets filled in. You won't need a career or hobby to work crafting so don't be afraid to try any and all of it to see what you like.		* CRAFT SKILLS - The five craft skills can be learned in the same basic manner, though ENCHANTING is not yet active yet.

	* MECHANICAL LORE - This skill right now can be trained and used for fletching bows and arrows. Don't consider fletching till you have at least 100 skill in Bows. Store bought bows and arrows will be better than what you can make up till you hit over 100 skill in Bows. Eventually this skill will go away when the crafting system is completed and you will transfer the Mechanical Lore skill into one of the craft skills.

	* Evasion - Simply put, evasion is the skill which determines how well you avoid attacks. Aside from classes in the subject, the only way to learn is to get out there and stand at melee range in combat.		* Evasion - Simply put, evasion is the skill which determines how well you avoid attacks.

	* Athletics - The main use of the Athletics skill is to overcome natural obstacles, such as climbing a tree or swimming a river. Provided below are some simple suggestions where to practice this skill based upon which area you have chosen to start at within the game. You can learn Athletics through swimming by just moving from room to room that has water, such as a brook or river. Deep water requires you to use the {{com\|SWIM}} <DIRECTION> command. Likewise, learning by climbing requires you to use the {{com\|CLIMB}} <DIRECTION> command.		* Athletics - The main use of the Athletics skill is to overcome natural obstacles, such as climbing a tree or swimming a river.

Likewise, learning by climbing requires you to use the {{com\|CLIMB}} <DIRECTION> command. You can also learn it by reading the Stealth section below on the Breaking and Entering material.
	**Crossing - The easiest place to start learning Athletics near the Crossing is a brook out the West Gate. Once out the West Gate go down the path and head west until you hit the brook. The brook can be seen on this map [[RanikMap4]]. You can also try asking at the Ranger Guild and a fellow Ranger or player can guide you there. This brook should teach to about 100 ranks.'''Caution:''' The path to the brook is a hunting area with [[Musk_Hog\|Musk Hogs]] on the road so be careful traveling to it.		**Crossing - The easiest place to start learning Athletics near the Crossing is a brook out the West Gate.

	** Snipe Mode - The snipe mode can be done a number of ways. I will give you one here but there are enough steps you can change how you do them if you want to. It basically boils down to getting your weapon in hand, early you don't want to use a shield as it adds to your load time. As you get much older you can use a small shield with spells to reduce the load time but that is down the road for this discussion. Key things to do when using a bow. LOAD MY <Bowtype>, {{com\|AIM}} <chest> (note aim will default to what your facing), {{com\|HIDE}}, {{com\|STALK}}, when the aim is ready, {{com\|POACH}} (note at circle 40 you can get snipe and change POACH to [[snipe]]. Snipe will allow you to stay in hiding after the shot if your stealth skill is good enough.). At this point you have options, Poach will bring you out of hiding. So you can repeat the process or {{com\|RETREAT}} one if your getting hit too much before loading and restarting the process. If you kill the critter, retreat twice and use {{com\|ARRANGE}} skin your critter, and {{com\|LOOT}} the critter. Now there is a reason you want to stalk the critters. First they tend to try and leave the room with your arrows stuck in them when your hidden and they can't find you. So stalking helps you track the one down your trying to kill and not loose too many arrows in the process. If it leaves the room {{com\|TRACK}} should take you to the critter so you can finish it off and get your arrows back.		** Snipe Mode - The snipe mode can be done a number of ways.

There are a lot of ways to do this but as a new Burgle professional, you need to know the easy safe way to get you started properly.

Your goal next is to get out so GO WINDOW and you have completed your Burgle attempt. You now have a timer to wait till you can do it again for Rangers its 25 to 30 minutes unless you are F2P which is 60 min.

If while you are inside the home you hear footsteps get to the kitchen and go window quickly or you will get caught. I also suggest you read {{com\|Breaking and Entering}} and {{com\|Burgle}} as well there is good information there to absorb.
	* Locksmithing - As the popular adage goes, "Waste not, want not." In this instance you are required to train survival skills, so why not make use of the various boxes that creatures drop in order to facilitate that training. It is this line of thinking which has given rise to the popularity of Locksmithing skill among the Ranger guild. For beginners, you might want to do some hunting of [[Sleazy_Lout\|Louts]] outside the East Gate of [[Crossings]] or [[Zombie_Goblin\|Zombie Goblins]] outside the North Gate of [[Riverhaven]]. As a warning, if you do decide to visit the Riverhaven Zombie Goblins, it is recommended that you have a few ranks in combat skills before adventuring to the area. Efficient training of the locksmithing skill requires a lockpick.		* Locksmithing - As the popular adage goes, "Waste not, want not."

	* Thievery - While not very common of a skill for most Rangers to train, the Thievery skill is none the less part of the survival skillset and can be used for circling within the guild. You can steal an item from a shop by doing {{com\|STEAL}} <ITEM>, such as {{com\|STEAL}} WATER. You can start training this skill by stealing small in-expensive items. In the Crossing you can start with water from [[Chizili's Alchemical Goods]]. This should teach to about 40 ranks. You should only steal from the same shop about once a real-life hour. You can steal from multiple shops to do a "stealing run". As a general rule of thumb, smaller and in-expensive items are easier to steal, larger more expensive items are harder to steal. See [[Stealing List]] as a general stealing guide on what to steal where. The more proficient you get in stealing you can steal multiple times from the same shop within that hour time frame. It is also highly suggested to {{com\|HIDE}} while stealing. This not only makes it easier to steal an item, but you can also learn some [[Stealth_skill\|stealth]] during the process. Thievery can also be taught. However, teaching or listening to Thievery within the City limits can get you arrested. Be careful! '''Caution:''' You may also try to steal coins or gems from another player using {{com\|STEAL}} <player name> though this teaches rather poorly. Be warned that stealing from another player is considered a [[PvP\|Player vs. Player]] action and will leave your character open to PvP for 4 hours.		* Thievery - While not very common of a skill for most Rangers to train, the Thievery skill is none the less part of the survival skillset and can be used for circling within the guild.

	* First Aid - First aid is really important for rangers. We are after all considered a combat profession. There are going to be times you will get hit rather bad and like MOST rangers will perform some kind of miracle and escape with a massive bleeder. Only the lesser professions die in combat. We are the masters of survival. So always think positive you will survive! Now having escaped, if you have no first aid skill you will bleed to death or if you don't have the ranger {{com\|BESEECH}} Elanthia to Cradle you will also bleed to death (and you won't get this beseech till circle 25). So you really need to work on the first aid skill. You can of course get a lot of skill from a class but how do you get this skill without a class? Right now there are 3 main ways to get the skill, two of which you can use at anytime and the third only during invasions.
