It seems to me the higher ranks in the GS universe aren't any one man armies. They have merely survived and completed a number of quests. We already know most adventurers try to avoid goblin quests when they have a choice. The pay is poor, there's little fame and loot, and it can be more dangerous than the classification indicates. A goblin quest could be just half a dozen goblin grunts in a simple hole, or it could be 30 goblins with spell casting shamans and bigger goblin mofo guards in a complex, dangerous cave. It's not worth to risk your life for when the pay is a few coins. Thus, most adventurers wouldn't actually have lots of experience with goblins, even if they are silver or whatnot.Originally Posted by MFauli
The Elf ranger obviously earned her silver ranking by encountering goblins very rarely. In fact she must have had quite a pleasant life as an adventurer. Perhaps she dutifully placed a point in her luck skill every level up, all her life. Like you said, she's surprisingly unused to the darker side of the world for being an experienced adventurer. She's not useless, though, with those super archery skills and such, so she most certainly didn't buy her silver rank.
