Ranger equipment

Weapons
Typically rangers will carry an assortment of both melee and ranged weapons. Since they receive the Two-Weapon Fighting line of feats for free, it makes sense for rangers to have a good selection of weapons to dual-wield. Since they get some of the best ranged feats for free, it's good to carry around many arrows as well as a few longbows for different enemies.

Armor
Rangers are only proficient with Light Armor, so a Mithril Chain Shirt/Breastplate is the best AC choice. Many Rangers with high dexterity choose to go with Armored Bracers and Robes instead of armor.
