Would anyone mind giving me a bit of advice on what to hunt next? I would prefer to stay on mainland if possible and I can't seem to squeeze much more experience from vines. My stats are as follows:
Main Weapon: 125
Main Amour: 132
Evasion: 123
Parry: 120
Shield: 90 (I'm still working on this one)
Thanks so much!

well, being a ranger, im assuming you have SoP. at those ranks i went into black leucros. i always had sop up, and never more then 1 leuc at a time. i was able to lock everything up, even MO cause leucs were far enough above me that 1 taught it.
but ultimately i would suggest leaving the mainland and goin to aesry to hunt 1st tier snow goblins.

Thanks for the advice, all.
As to ogres, a follow-up question: I've been told before that they are of an appropriate level for me, but I find they only teach me weapons (and shield, of course), even after dancing.
I would really like to be able to get my defenses (evasion and parry) back up above my weapon, but it seems I can't adequately train them with ogres. Is this the nature of the creature or just something I may be doing wrong in training?
Thanks, again.

>The only thing that Sand Sprites would teach with his skills is shield. Young and Scout ogres are a possiblity
Would also teach other alternative armor, multi, and secondary weapons as well as parry if that's lacking.

To work parry, you need to find a creature around that level with a weapon you can parry against. This may or may not mean you lose the skinning trainability. This is one of the nice things about goblins at low levels. They train all of those skills for you.
Evasion moves faster in swarms.
Use http://www.elanthipedia.com/wiki/Bestiary_Level_List and http://taffeisjournal.com/What2Hunt.html to help you figure out what to hunt. You can target the skills you want to learn then try a few out. For multi, something where your multi is mid-range for the creature and it swarms is good. For parry, make sure it's carrying a knife, sword, cudgel or something.
Depending on what's out of balance, you may not be able to work all defenses at once. I'm learning zero evasion where I am now because my evasion is just that much higher. That's why I stepped down, to get the other defenses up. I'm also sacrificing training skinning to do it.
