Once you make it to the Forest, how to you load up on arrows? None of the monsters seem to drop them and the local vendor (Faerie) doesn't sell them.

My ranger needs more arrows. What do I do?

If you can't find arrows you need to rely on other weapons. Polearms and spells can be used from the back ranks.

Your rangers swings per attack and therefore damage output will increase a lot when you switch from missile to melee. Don't even bother buying arrows.
