 The Ranger is a hybrid mix between a Warrior and a Druid, sharing the skills of both. He's most at home in the great outdoors.

[[File:C ranger.gif|right]]
Part [[Warrior]] and [[Druid]], the Ranger is a hybrid class combining some of the combat skills and the magical abilities of both.  

Rangers are a lightly armored offensive class which focuses more on delivering damage than tanking.  In terms of combat skills they can use all types of weapons and get dual wield, double attack, and kick.  They also get a number of defensive skills including dodge, parry, riposte and disarm.  However, because they are a hybrid class Rangers learn most of these combat skills a few levels later than pure melee classes.   

Rangers have higher offensive skill caps than any other hybrid class. However, they are lower in a number of defensive skill areas.  They have a lower skill cap on taunt, riposte, disarm, dodge and parry compared to Warriors, and slightly below the Paladin and Shadow Knight class on some of these. As light tanks, with some of the best aggro inducing abilities in the game, they can but should not be left to tank for significant periods. They have no skill to reduce the monsters hate for them until the Kunark expansion in the form of the spell Jolt.

Rangers get the highest tracking skill in the game, which helps to find people or enemies within the area. This is particularly useful in the large outdoor zones of Kunark. 

Rangers are one of only two classes that can do critical blows with archery starting at level 12. However, this skill is only useful in limited circumstances before the Velious expansion by way of the Trueshot Discipline. In the Luclin expansion archery becomes significantly more viable for the class due to Alternative Advancement abilities.

In terms of magic Rangers get a range of nice utility spells.  They receive both Spirit of Wolf and later take the form of a wolf benefiting from both run speed and a significant ATK bonus. They also get spells to reduce monster frenzy ranges, and this enables them to single pull out of a group.  They have both healing spells and damage shields (the latter of which inflicts unresistable damage).  This is coupled with a solid series of HP and AC increasing buffs, as well as some minor stat buffs.  Damage wise they receive both direct damage and damage over time spells.  They can also snare and root mobs. Despite their magical power they do not have the ability to bind or gate. You can view the full ranger spell list [https://wiki.project1999.com/Ranger#Spells here].

A challenge playing the ranger class can often be aggro management and staying alive. Rangers can draw monster aggro easily through their damage output in combination with their fire damage over time spells, which generate a lot of aggro. This makes them shine having high "snap aggro" when the situation calls for it. But when it does not their lower armor class, hit points and defense capabilities compared to tank classes can get them into trouble.

If you are looking for a class with decent damage output, the best tracking in the game, and a little bit of magic to spice things up this class could be the one for you. You will be able to deal damage, spot heal, and act as a light tank in group content. Just be warned that your road to 60 could be challenging, as rangers often have lower priority on group invites for the damage role, and struggle to tank effectively in post level fifty content. This class is not for the faint of heart, but still versatile and fun nonetheless bringing value by adapting and utilizing all it's abilities.

==Picking the Right Race==

The first thing you have to pick then is your race.   Which race you pick will determine the foundation of you character for the rest of your life in Norrath so it is kind of important you pick one you like.  

Wood Elves are quite a good race for rangers. They have naturally high agility, and can wear both small and medium armour. Wood Elves also have natural infravision, and start in the tree city of Kelethin. 

Half-Elves are limited to medium sized armour. They are very well balanced, and have slightly better starting stats than the wood elf, though they lack some of the natural abilities. They have the highest natural dexterity of any ranger race, and also have infravision. However, the druid part of a ranger is let down with a low natural wisdom.  Half Elves start in Surefall Glade near Qeynos.

Human rangers have very balanced stats, across the board. They have the highest natural strength of any ranger race, and all other stats are certainly in an acceptable range. However their natural agility is quite low compared to the other classes.  Humans have no night vision, which is perhaps the largest reason that many people decide against playing a Human Ranger. Rangers do however receive an infravision spell at level 30, and an ultravision spell at level 56.  Human rangers start in Qeynos.

All of the ranger races level at the same rate, and faction wise are all well received in any town with a neutral or good alignment.

==Spending Your Bonus Points==

Rangers have a number of stats that they benefit from. Because they can receive benefits from a lot of stats, the recommended bonus points can vary a lot from person to person. End game buffs from Shaman allow a Ranger to receive roughly +120 STR/DEX without Avatar (+100 STR/DEX/AGI) and +50 STA if you want to plan your starting stats based on this.

*'''Strength'''     - Effects maximum and average melee damage, both from auto attacks and from special attacks like kick.
*'''Stamina'''      - Effects your maximum Hit Points. Gives a small hp boost(roughly 1-2% of base hp for 25 point investment).
*'''Dexterity'''    - Effects the speed at which you learn weapon skills and the rate at which your magic weapon effects go off (a little).
*'''Agility'''      - Effects how often you are struck by enemies, and lowers the average damage you take from enemy hits. The impact is generally agreed to be small. It is something though.
*'''Wisdom'''       - Effects how quickly you raise general and craft skills if higher than Intelligence. Effects maximum mana and the speed at which you raise spell skills.
*'''Intelligence''' - Effects how quickly you raise general and craft skills if higher than Wisdom.
*'''Charisma'''     - Effects the prices you pay for vendor goods, and the prices they pay for your goods, a little. Your reputation with a particular vendor factors into this somewhat and there is a cap.

 '''Allocation Recommendations'''
 DPS: 20 Strength
 Raid Min/Max: 20 Stamina

== Experience Statistics ==
No race that can play as a Ranger has an innate experience modifier. The 40% penalty for hybrid classes was removed from the [[green]] server on 8/6/2021 with the implementation of the [https://wiki.project1999.com/Patch_Notes#January_14.2C_2001_Producer_Letter| January 2001 Velious Patch].

As of [https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=211758 9/21/15], hybrid class experience penalties are no longer in effect on [[blue]] or [[red]] servers.

==Religion==

Religion does not have a large impact upon the Ranger class.  The two choices are Karana or Tunare (except for Wood Elves who must choose Tunare).  Picking one will not alienate you from another, although only followers of Tunare can equip the {{:Helm of the Tracker}}.  Choose whichever appeals to you more.

= Disciplines =
Ranger disciplines were introduced with the Velious expansion; they offer short term advantages with a long re-use: These are most useful in dragon/boss encounters.

{{:Class_Race_Quest_List/Ranger}}

= Hybrid Casting =
Hybrids that cast spells in combat were taking double penalties at higher levels. The casting times of their spells went up, and the amount of melee damage they did per second went up. This results is having to take longer to cast spells, and losing more damage/second for each second taken in casting. To help offset this, Rangers, Paladins and Shadowknights casting non-beneficial spells that have casting times greater than or equal to 3 seconds, now get a 3 % reduction in casting time for each level over 50. 3% at 51, 6% at 52, etc., to 30% at 60. Again, this applies only to non-beneficial spells. This will speed up the casting of your nukes, dots and dispels. It will not speed up pet summoning, buffs and heals (lifetaps are considered nukes). This is live on Blue but will not be on Green until February 21, 2001's patch.

=FAQ=
'''Q:	Does a ranger ever get to critical hit? I am able to critcal with the bow occasionally, but never with my 1hs/2hs.'''

A:	Rangers can only get critical hits with a bow. A higher DEX will increase the chance of getting a critical hit but does not increase the base damage dealt with a ranged attack. That STR and not DEX increases base damage is believed to be a bug.
 

'''Q:	What level do you suggest doing the ivy etched armor quest? And how difficult is it?'''

A:	There are different Ivy Etched armor quests, each with different level NPC's you have to fight in order to obtain the items needed. The easiest and lowest level Ivy quest being the bracers, (which you can be complete easily in your 20's in a group), and hardest being the tunic/leggings, (which can be done solo in your 40's).


'''Q:   I cant scribe low level Velious spells! Halp!'''

A:      A lot of spells were added later on in Velious during live such as Panic Animal and Firefist, and as such might be unlocked later in Velious in p99
 

'''Q:	Do Rangers get the ability to summon animals?'''

A:	Unless you have an item that has the effect of summoning an animal, nope.
 

'''Q:	What does increasing your level in tracking do?'''

A:	It increases the range of your tracking.
 

'''Q:	I forgot what is needed for the trueshot longbow quest, I thought it was a spiderling eye, something from a robot spider, and I had to talk to 2 other people for something. Could you please tell me who/what to get what items from?'''

A:	<ol><li>Spiderling silk from Spiderlings.</li>
<li>A Micro Servo, which can be obtained from rogue Clockworks in Steamfont.</li>
<li>Dwarven wire from Tratnor Everhot, who gives you a quest to get some Tumpy Tonics.</li>
<li>Treant wood. Jyle Windshot in west freeport in the bar gives it out in exchange for small lanterns, which can be bought in east freeport.</li>
</ol>

Combine the items in the container Maesyn gave you and return it to him. In return, he will give a Treantwood Bowstave. Ask him how to assemble the bow. You'll need a high Fletching skill to make the Trueshot.
 

'''Q:	Do rangers ever learn to track their corpse or the corpse of other player characters?'''

A:	You can track other character corpses only if they are in your group, and they have died while your in the same zone. Their corpse will stay on your tracking until they zone back in.
 

'''Q:	What cities are the ranger guilds located? Are the guilds the only place a ranger can go to practice and buy spells?'''

A:	Surefall Glade, Kelethin and FV are the only cities a ranger can practice with their guilds. A single trainer named [[Morin Shadowbane]] is also available in Kithicor Woods.  A large portion of ranger spells are also druid spells, which are available throughout Norrath at druid guilds and rings.


'''Q:	How does a ranger make arrows and at what level are they effective?'''

A:	You first need a fletching kit, a point, shaft, nock, and fletch. Fletching uses... the fletching skill. Put one of each component into the fletching kit and hit combine and hope that it works. It's good to practice your archery skill so you can pull effectively with it.
 

'''Q:	Would a Ranger get less experience if they are in Wolf Form?'''

A:	Nope, experience stays the same.
