I am approaching level 30 with my ranger. I know this is when I can start using holy bolts; my question is what type of mnd gear should I begin using around this level, and how long should I use a holy bolt set up?

Thank you, sorry for the noob question.

Devotee's Mitts are about it. All the mind gear you can use is listed in the Ranger 101 sticky, but I don't advocate using much of it at low levels. You still need ranged accuracy.

At 30 I'd still use as much Noct +1 as possible and sub in Devotees mitts for Holy bolts. In the 50s I threw in Hunters Braccae as well. Unfortuantely colibri are fairly magic resistant so its tough to stick holy effect and acid effect on them. kinda gave up on XBow in those levels for Bow and Gun.

unless youre stacking massive +mnd (+20 or more) stick with your +racc/+ratt at 30. The shots you land using the racc gear will out weight the barely noticeable damage increase form only a few points of mnd.

Like what other said.

Until you get to 75 and get sky god shoes, aqua rings, K Osode, don't bother with worry bout raising Holy Bolt Proc.

If you *must* raise the proc damage wait till you get apollo staff.

I would agree with the others. Do not worry about a mind build at this point. Holy bolts are great for keeping you marksmanship skill up, but I would not build around them at early levels.
