After playing ToME/Theme for quite some time and getting really annoyed with the flood of fixed and rand-arts which make the game too easy, I found FAangband for a refreshing challenge. Had a look what is the least played race/class combination and tired out how hard things could get ...

Key to get to level 15 was good stealth (that early found "Leather Sandals of Stealth" where Illuvatar-send ;-) ) and retreating - retreat early, retreat often and through rubble and trees:
Sneak in, shoot 1 monster, cross the next clearing and wait on the other side for your persecutor to appear. Shot them, retreat again.
But at Eriador 8+ I'm getting into trouble: with ~5 lead shots or 3.5 arrows per kobold, this starts getting really dangerous. Even enchanting the sling or bow doesn't get the damage to an accepable level - only marksmanship saved her butt several times.
Looks like unless I find a good missile weapon, I'll be stuck in Eriador.

Had to learn that "This seems a very quiet place ..." means at least 1 unique monster on the level. And I just realized that I have screwed up royally, because I maxxed INT instead of WIS but rangers use druid spells which in turn use WIS ... .
But I can always hope for stat potions I guess. And that the archery does pack enough punch surely isn't the fault of to few points in WIS as well ... I wonder if I will get much further than this :/

Heh, I know what you mean about the level feelings. If you ever get any strong levels feelings you need to really watch out! At least you're on the other side of Belegost now. You have reason to celebrate a great accomplishment if you can just get inside the first dungeon at Amod Rudh. FA shopping list should be amended to look like this:
1. Go to General Store
2. Buy Lantern
3. Get to a dungeon
4. Kill Morgoth

Wow !! Best Petty-Dwarf, best Ranger !!
Have I only been lucy with equipment, or have I been lucky in general (skill can't be an issue)?? Must admit, had some quite 'close encounters' - btw.. there where Vorpal Bunnies in Tolkiens First Age? Minor grief: archery is not really strong, despite high DEX and strong bow .. and now I even have run out of arrows !!

Slowly, oh so slowly .. I think I DID have some luck with the equipment I found. Only thing missing now is a nice shield. Preferably with 2 or more of the missing resistances ;-)
Unless a miracle happens, though, I don't know how I should get past level 28. Archery damage is simply to low at this point, I have to run from any unique and anything remotedly out of depth ... . Guess at some point the RNG will catch me ;-)

Throwing might be worthwhile for you - the throwing axe of Gondolin will go in your quiver. Hope you keep surviving - I want to see how a high level ranger goes :)

Finally the RNG got me - "superb" level 29 of Amon Rudh with a mega-sized vault in the middle. While I was sneaking around it, a Wo'tW jumped me .. never had any chance without RConf :(

Yes - even _outside_ big vaults can be nasty. Any final ranger comments?

Final Comment:
With a 'mediocre' race, rangers seem quite difficult to me - you have a hard time to kill anything: mediocre melee and overall archery damage, even with 'marksmanship'. Add to this really annoying slow and weak ID'ing and much to high ammo loss (".. arrow disappears..") and things could get definitly un-fun at times. Shouldn't be a ranger a hunter who uses magic to spy on his prey and then attack at the appropiate moment, taking out or at least weakening his foes with archery and then finishing them off in melee? Actually, I ended up running from out-of-depth monsters, uniques, packs or simply because I was out of ammo (most annoying!). If I didn't have Narthanc and some wands/rods for ranged attacking, I wouldn't have gotten that far at all. At least the detection spells came very handy, while some of others are quite redundant/superfluous. Spell points are always (too) low. And I still wonder why rangers are supposed to be 'native' to forests - trees and arrows do not work together at all. And the forests in FAangband are quite dense .. plains suit the ranger much better... .
But I was looking for a challenge - and I found one ;-)
