Prac all 1st level skills to 71% or 75%.

Set skill learn to parry.

Spam Parry to 80% at level 1 wielding the practice sword then switch to Whip (Dagger if you are a hunter.) You can do this and become at home in the wilds at the same time.

Advance to 2nd level practice 2nd level skills, wear a leather shield.

Put one practice into Camo. As soon as you are at home in wilds spam to perfection insode of 10 minutes.

Level up to 9th. Practice Dodge, go to FoN, stash all your gear so your weight is under half. (Don't stash around mobs there. They pick things up) wield mace, dirt a dozen beasts slugs and laxians. (I avoid Angnos they seem to me to have a higher hit roll than laxians). Group them up. Wield your whip (Should be around 80% by now) hit laxians, switch as they get hurt to slugs then beasts. You will have 80% dodge inside of 5-10 minutes, maybe 15 for a giant. Set skill learn to dodge. Your parry will probably be in the mid to high 90's by now with 21 wis races. Upper 80's low 90's with the rest.

Go rank. At 10th you only need shield block if you are a hunter or animist. Spam it the exact same way as dodge but leave skill learn on dodge. Then forget about it until your dodge is in the 97% range. Then switch skill learn to it.

Once dodge and shield block are at 97%, switch skill learn back to parry. If parry is already there set skill learn to Herbs. All this should be finished around the 20th (or sooner with luck 25th with out luck or low wis)

When you get Ambush do Ambush Onslaughts with the whip inorder to generate more fails. You'll master it by 25th with any race.

DON'T BOTHER WIELDING SPEARS OR STAFFS. Your ranger spears and staffs learn like souped up balator weapons at the ranks they come in. When they do come in practice the skills associated with them. Pugil, pierce, charge (If a plainsrunner), thrust (if 22 or greater str)

When dual wield comes into play, wield two of the same weapons, axes, daggers, maces, swords. Make one of them (preferably main) a Balator blade until 90th (A wizi imm once told me balator bonuses drop off well before 90 but I wield them exclusivley until 90% then ditch them and switch to another set. After you get 90% in each wield the whip again, dual wield the other weapons and do whatever floats your boat.

Always look for water when it becomes available. (Spamming on trails will get you mastered in 5 to 10 minutes if you really want to)

For creep find a wild area that loops like the mists or void or oceans for mariners and take 20 minutes to master it.

After each fight CAMO then camp. On the tick do herbs. This is a time saver, bigly.

At 35th go to the trolls or elves of FoN. Hold a non-weapon, non-shield in off hand, a rat tail in your main hand and get 15 or more mobs on you. Master Wilderness fam in 15 minutes. Bonus: if you are a marshdweller or a Cavern Dweller you can master you special defenses like swampmire at this time at the same time.

I have to go but aside from a few brief pauses for critical skills you can be grouped with others the whole time.

It doesn't take much imagination to adjust this for thieves, assassins, warriors, paladins etc.

With mages it's even easier.

Laters.
