Ringwielders: Totally Not At All Like Those Guys from That One Book.

Starting out

Starting as a Level 1 RW: One Does Not Simply Walk into Yevath to Hand Ahrikol a Job Application

Don't fucking join RW off the bat like some clueless chump. You'll have shit for trainers and won't know the first thing to do to not be killing rats in the sewers for the next 20 levels. Plus, your ring will suck for ages and you'll end up an incel or some shit. Just stop.

Okay, but I really want to be a Ringwielder

Be something else first. Go see the world. Ahrikol needs you to have at least 30 quest points anyhow (or 60 for goblinoids because the world fucking hates you and you should reroll as something better), so go get some training under your belt in a guild that doesn't have awful trainers and minimal significant opportunities for ticking skills below certain thresholds. Get some accomplishments under your belt that will increase your ring capacity so you'll be able to start out with more runes on your ring than just aerinax and ispiri (not that you should waste ring space on either). Here are some suggestions:
