When you are exploring the above world in search of dungeons and adventures, take this advice: a ranger should never touch the ground. Using the climbing skill and the leap ability, you should stick to trees, mountains, or anything else so long as you can fight monsters without getting touched. Although in non-forest terain the ranger can move about and be equally, if not more effective.

In terms of your abilities you should only have 4: Leap, Multi-shot, Wind Trap, Haste. You should have 1 point in all your abilities except for Multi-shot, which is the skill that most your points will end up in. Every point that goes into multi-shot adds one more arrow to the ability. The way to clear towers is this. When you go up the ladder into the upper floors, you should use Leap and jump to a corner without mobs. Then you should put up to 3 wind traps on the ground next to you and build up a small column while the mobs are being repelled. Then use Leap to jump onto the column of blocks you just made and short charge your multishot into the crowd of mobs below. This way of playing is less efficient than the warrior or mage as they can just spam whirlwind or breath of fire but this is the only way of playing ranger without dying. Because of multishot, you should be able to completely decimate everything below from above. This way of playing ensures your safety when raiding towers. Another thing about this playstyle is that multi-shot does not consume any mana which means that all your mana is reserved for leaping or putting down wind traps, meaning you can make do with a small mana pool unlike warriors and mages.

The ranger best benefits from high levels of Dexterity as Dexterity adds ranged damage as well as critical strike chance and defense! This is very overpowered and hopefully the use of Agility for ranged damaged and Critical strike chance should even this out. No points should be currently put into any of the other stats except for Wisdom and even so, only put in like 5 at the most. This is because you can get enough stats in the gear you forage and all your extra stat points should go into boosting your damage.

For a pure dexterity build you only need to put all your points in to dexterity, carry a bow with high damage (and dexterity if it has it), and get gear with stats in the order of Dex > Fort > Wis > Int > Strength (Agility may be implemented later, but as of right now has no effect.)
