Getting Started
It is assumed you've already found the guild structure and have already joined the Rangers' Guild, if you have not you can use the DIRECTION command to locate the area. But now that you've done that, and made use of the JOIN command to become one of us, what' next? And, just what exactly is is that Rangers are supposed to do?
Survival Skills
Rangers are survivalists first and foremost. The majority of your training as a Ranger will focus on improving your survival skills. You must dedicate yourself to actively training at least eight different skills within the survival group at all times in order to advance within the guild. While there is some flexibility on which skills you choose to focus on, there is a hard requirement to train our guild-specific skill of scouting.

Combat Skills
Beyond being a master survivalist, Rangers are also adept hunters. We pride ourselves in our ability to go nearly anywhere and fight nearly anything. Because of this, the guild requires that you keep up with not only weapon skills but also armor skills as well. The choice of what weapon and armor to use are purely yours to make, however this guide will give you a little advice in what to choose and how those choices will impact your advancement later on.
Weapons
Dual Load
Snipe
Armor
Magic Skills
While not one of our primary focuses, Rangers still make use of the magic skillset to accomplish feats that are beyond our natural abilities.
Lore Skills
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.
