So I'm having a problem. Level 114 and am only getting 2.5-3.5 bars per lix! When on a lix i use a xp, heroic regen, haste and traveling lix. Still, only getting a little amount of xp! Here are pictures of my stats and gear I'm using full meteoric armor and weapon. I'm using freezing quiver of beasts as off hand. For jewelry I'm using earth talisman, +20 cold damage charm, +3 pierce bracelet and +4 cold damage brace, I'm also using grand bolas, grand archery, grand sharpen weapons and royal sharpen weapons. All help is appreciated! I'm currently leveling on purple wraiths and an occasional green when no purple are up.

Hooooo where to begin.

Get rid of the damage bracelets. Try to buy two wyrm bracelets that buff both Strength and Dexterity. Get rid of the archery ring and replace it with a ring for a combat skill, like Longshot or Doubleshot. Here's a good idea of my build, which could work well for you. Definitely get a haste ring. You will hardly feel the wait for your next attsck, especially with Meteoric. At 120, get an adamant bow until frozen bow. You will definitely need a haste ring for this.
Max Heal
Max Bolas (Should give you 130 bolas, which is great for you level)(Put on your bolas ring only when you need it. It is a MAJOR energy sap.)
Max two combat skills (Double Shot and Longshot work great. Double can't evaded.)
Put the rest in steady aim (Switch sharpen for steady and get some steady aim rings)

For your stats, I'd put about 40% in Dex, 40% in Strength, and 20% In Vitality.Try this build out and it should work okay, make any adjustments you need to function.

Also, use either combos only, or parasite level.

To elaborate, find a rogue. Level with them, and use an xp here with them. Seeing as you're a ranger, you can't contribute much, so focus on heals and debuffs.

Well, you should be a str build totally. Ur gonna love it. I'm currently running this build, and I beat Gemwing in a duel with my str build, but that was a while ago and he's leveled up more than I have.

Anyways for a str build, ur gonna wanna pump most your stats into str and a minority of it into vit and the rest in dex.

Then for skills, drop bolas cause it wastes time and ruins your dps, and after all your looking to level quicker, easier and more efficiently.

Then for the rest of the skills:

Light Heal-Max
Steady Aim-Max
Sharpen-Max
Double-Max
Rapid-Max

Also, you aren't getting that little, except 2.5 may be too little. I usually get 3-4. I usually get Maybe its where u level? You should try the trees and golems.

Also, like Gemwing said, haste ring is awesome :D

If he has a haste ring, rapid is redundant, especially with an already fast bow. And bolas is not a waste, when leveling on boggans, I can get in two longshots before bolas expires. And I actually don't remember us duelling.

Haste rings are a constant haste for a single buy, whiles hastes can go 2-6k in certain servers.

At your level, and judging by your gear you should look into removing some points from str and put them into dex. You will most definitely get more dps from spamming skills, long, sharp etc, rest in steady and sharpen. Str build is more viable for higher levels, generally. Try to get royal and grand long rings they will increase your dps more than the archery ring, bolas is not essential while lixing, your health regen lix and high dex should keep you alive, if not put points into light heal or use pots if you're not budget constrained and want to minimize downtime. Good luck.
