How to increase the blue bar?

I'm now an R/W level 9 allready and would like to know how I can increase the blue bar. My red heath bar is perfect but the other1 almost stays the same. Help a n00b out plz.

Getting items with +energy is the only way to increase it.

Basic energy for each class (Please correct me if I am wrong)

Warrior: 20
Ranger: 25
Necromancer, Mesmer & Monk : 30
Elementalist: 30+3xevery 1 point in energy storage attribute

Then only way you could possibly raise the bar is using energy items and/or getting armor that raises you energy total. Since you are a Ranger though and usually use bows it's not very conventient to switch to items other than bows.

However: You are also a warrior, you *can* equip in your shield hand a Focus item that gives you+12 and/or more while wielding a sword/axe/hammer but as I said Ranger's are better with bows.

Tip: Put point in Expertise, it lowers the cost of your Ranger skills by 4% for every point you put in. (Maximum you can have in this is 16 -64% on all your skill costs)

As a ranger, you can use Druids Armor, it gives energy bonus.

Thanks guys (or girls), I'll check it out. Much appreciated.

As level 9, He wont be able to get Druids armor until Venturi Refuge. He will he level 13-15 by then.

...or you can customize your interface and stretch it to the edge of the screen ....

you can get druids in lions arch

Hah HILARIOUS! Yeah you'll get a LONG blue bar :P

Anyhow put points in Expertise, Expertise is a rangers best friend.

ummm i got a problem with this expertise thing...i've put 12 level into expertise and still the energy cost of my traps and preparations stays up there in 10-15 where it was originally. Am I doing somthing wrong?

Actually, thats what I thought he meant when I read the forum title.

Chobby, the energy numbers dont change in skill descriptions, but they are in fact lower. Just try it out ingame, you will use less energy on ranger skills.

Oh ok, cause i notice the seconds and damage description changes as you increase the level of skills just the energy has no changes. But thanks, I'll give it a try.

Yeah, I thought that too, until I realised one of my spells that costs 10 energy now only costs 7, yet it says the same :P

Base energy for every profession is 20 energy. It's just that every class except Warrior's has armor which adds energy - which is why nec/mes/monk/elem start with 30 energy.. they have a +10 energy bonus from their armor.
