Top 10 D&D 5e Ranger Magic Items | Nerd Immersion
Top 10 D&D 5e Ranger Magic Items | Nerd Immersion
So choosing a top 10 magic items for ranger is a little tricky. The main reason being there are so many different versions of Ranger floating around for 5e, I don’t know which one you’d be playing with. Also you could easily be a Strength or Dexterity based ranger, which could impact what items you’d want. I’m assuming you’re going to be playing a Dexterity based Ranger and some mixture of all the printed versions.
Top 10 Ranger Magic Items:
10. Insignia of Claws
9. Oathbow
8. Cloak of the Bat
7. Amulet of Health
6. Sentinel’s Shield
5. Figurine of Wonrous Power
4. Quiver of Ehlonna
3. Bracers of Archery
2. Dragon Scale Mail
1. Scimitar of Speed
Let me know what other lists you’d like to see in the future! Next week it’s Top 10 Magic Items for Rogues!

I’m going aarakocra gloom stalker. I have 19 Dex at lvl 3 and I’m going for 20 dex and 14 int next ASI.
What items would you recommend for me?
Cloak of the Bat on a Gloom Stalker Ranger …
What are you man?!
I’m Batman.
Great video, been looking for ways to buff my ranger in an Ack Inc game. Keep it up 🙂
Are you ok man? 🤣 seem like you’re not enjoying this at all
The sun blade is also really good as a melee counterpart to your bow because it’s a +2 sword and it has versatility and finesse which is really good if you have high strength or dexterity. The only downside is you have to use a bonus action to ignite it and it requires attunment
All of these are great
Rogues (specifically Assassins) should have a weapon of warning!!
Arrow of Slaying > Oathbow
Goggles of Night on a gloomstalker. Gives a solid +90 darkvision to what your race have.
For fluff. Amulet of the Planes for a horizon walker.
Heh, archery…
my ranger only punches
I love taking 1 level dip into Cleric so you can use fun Quarterstaffs like the Staff of Withering.
stop touching your nose.
Beast master ranger does the most consistent single target no resource at will damage of all classes if you don’t use feats.
Just choose giant poisonous snake.
Best item for a player that picks ranger is a set of dice and a player’s handbook to help them make a new character.
10:49 Bracers of Archery are a +2 to Damage rolls only, it says nothing in the text about any increase to the attack rolls. Am I missing something?
The sad thing is people, especially new players, want to play Rangers. They are pretty weak though.
The revised ranger UA makes it somewhat better.
I know I’m late to the party, but I wanted to point out 2 things. First, the Bracers of Archery only give a +2 to damage, not to attack. Second, based off the Oathbow and the description of generic magic weapons, bows don’t have a +modifier. They have effects, as far as I’ve seen. The arrows have the +modifers
Oathbow sounds amazing with elven accuracy.
I’m looking at playing a Ranger in a Party with no Wizard or Bard. Probably take the Goggles of Object Reading to get Identify.
The Cloak of the Bat is honestly pretty cool, as a Gloom Stalker I kind of hope I can find one someday. Bracers of Archery are probably the simplest most obvious one too I suppose. Kind of want that Pendant of the Claw… but that would require my DM to allow me to tame another animal / act on her cryptic hint of reviving my old one, so that’s more like RP flavour then anything at that point. Given I’m the only one in our group that still uses their starter weapon, I’m sad to say Oathbow looks fantastic, even if half of it is made null cuz of Sharpshooter ……..
Ranger is my favourite class.
Doood, u need a coffee đź‘Ť
Workin too hard…but thanks for the content.
For magic bows, there is a magic hand crossbow, can’t remember which adventure it’s from though.
Are lengendary items off the list because they are too high level and hard for parties to get them?
Ps: are there legendary items good for rangers? Haha
Hey one magic item that almost no one uses is the robe of eyes which gives you 360 degree vision, advantage on perception checks, 120ft of dark vision, see invisibility, and the ability to see into the astral plane up to 120ft; to this even better it is a rare magic item so if your me playing a human rogue and you get the observant feat at 1st level then you’d be seeing everything
also with the quiver you can draw weapons from it unlike the bag of holding where you have to take the time to get it out of the bag
The new updates for ranger was needed. I’m a total noob and my ranger is a dmpc healbot npc, but he needed something more than all the stuff I did to make him a mobile shelter for the PC halfling. High AC for level 2 and healing spells. That’s it. Granted he doesn’t need much more as the rogue is the heroine, but still.
Looking forward to warlock, but I think you should split between a meleelock and a controller., because iv got dual shortswords, planning a dip in swords bard.
I’m playing a ranger sword 1D6 dagger 1D4.
A sorcerer in our group hits 5 enemies at once causing 39 hit points of damage plus knocking guys down. All with one spell. Who would you rather be
o sue outao titanrry uff darasdgon e uma nmerirda
I also like the “weapon of warning” from the DMG. Ranger should have their head in a swivel and be on the lookout for ambushers.
Druids,rangers, and warlocks are my favorite classes
Edit: Did you do warlocks yet?
Any Horizon Walker specific suggestions?…for those interplanar treks and destination outpost hub requirements.
Why would you be sorry, I play a ranger and constantly cause more damage than anyone in my party which included an OP Demi god that can cast chain lightning
*Relevant and Supportive Comment*
Scimitar of speed is a bad choice. Rangers have a ton of bonus action abilities and spells. Also dual wielding negates its use which you almost always want to do since hunters Mark is per hit. I’m playing a ranger now. From level one up to level 12 currently. One of the biggest things a ranger needs is AC. Even just a ring of protection or magic studded leather is huge. My character has a cloak of displacement which is great for a ranger. Especially if you have the Hunter’s multi attack defense
The Quiver would be a great item to store mundane arms in for later, like when you need to arm prisoners or peasants for a revolt if you don’t have a bag of holding
Spider climb is rangerly.
Is revised ranger not to be used anymore? I mean it is unearthed arcana so it was never official in the first place.
Not sure why everyone hates rangers so much. Could the kit use slight amounts of work? Sure. It definitely does enough damage though
I have just started playing a beastmaster ranger strictly from the PHB to really see how bad it is. In comparison the party is made of a conquest paladin, life cleric, and zealot barbarian. So I am greatly appreciated that this list was made to help me focus in on what things I’ll need to get a hold of.
Great video and I think it was fairly well balanced list.
Im homebrewing a variant of the Oathbow to make it a culminative item. Rather it being stuck in a bow I’m turning them into missiles for ranged attacks that once stuck into a creature every successive attack on that creature deals 1d6 piercing damage. The character gains more as they level up by the time you’d attain a very rare item you’d have 3. So the maths works the same but allows it to be spread out on multiple enemies or stacked up on 1 and without the command word BS
Ok rangers are good and fun if you use the optional features. The one thing that does suck is all the subclasses are bad a boring other than gloomstalker and drakewarden
I love you nerd daddy 🙂
Pretty solid.
Years ago in third edition i played an elven wizard that most confused for a ranger because i carried a long bow and a quiver of Quiver of Ehlonna the difference was i only carried 10 arrows but 35 scrolls rolled up on arrow shafts and 5 wands (Detect Magic, Magic Missile, Lighting Bolt, Fire Ball, and Cure Wounds) the DM was so shocked he let me do it.
folks should look up the dragon magazine number 43 I think. in the mag
it has a special class called ranger/mage. just something everyone
should look into
Could you be anymore disinterested in doing this video ?
Yes rogue is next!
the amulet of health is useful for any character as it removes the need to invest into constitution allowing you to put your ability scores and their improvements into other things like getting a feat or increasing your mental attributes
You reckon you could do a recurring list of the best (in your opinion) homebrew items on DnDBeyond? You could also do a recurring video of the worst/most OP ones you have found on there. 🙂
