Hey! I found some people that read comics too?
And you character equipment lessee: Spoilers!
Thieves: Use the shadow armour or the +5 leather you get from umar hills
I use wakizashis and short swords and bow to stay in character...Use boots of speed, very useful for a thief. Obviously all thief rings are useful to thieves too!

And cloak of non-detection for reasons that are apparent.
Ranger: I like to use Katanas/longswords and maces for foes like golems and such...funny i never use a bow...Any armor is fine for them but leather/studded leather if you want to be able to use thier stealth..
I dun play any other classes much, sorry!
