It is possible, anything is with enough money. Seems like an expensive way to do it. Besides there are a few flaws in the current area track system the reduce the effectiveness of this solution.

Certainly you can and many do hirerangersor get ranger friends to help.I'vehired myself out in fact- but as I'm also MCH I just keep the rare babies for myself. Don't get a lot of repeat business for some reason


Kidding aside,one can spend a very long time lookingfor a rarewithout any success. So it can be difficult to find someone who is willing to invest a lot of their playing time running around finding nothing. And if you do find someone, you could potentially end up paying out a lot of creds and get nothing.


I think most CH find it easier tojust try to find the lair of whatever creature their looking for on their own. Or get missions if they can.

i tamed all the current rares at least once, and have never found on with the use of a ranger..that is not to say i have never tried using one, as i have a good ranger friend...it just seems using a ranger, the few times i have tried has never worked for me, i always do better alone

GAHHH, I dont know how you guys can stand being ch's without takeing the ranger tracking skill, I was a ch for a bit without it and after a very short time I realized looking foranimalswithout this skill is like beating my head against a tree. Without it the whatever it is could be just out of sight range, across a lake ect.

but i would never know, and never knowing if I was missing my chance would Drive me nutz!!!!!!!!! So i spent the zillion points to get the skill its one of the most overpriced skills in the game because nothing else in ranger is that great or works... conceal would rock if it worked


I vote animal track should be a ch skill


but if u have spare points you might wanna think about taking this skill it will save u some headachs wondering if your big tame is just out of sight

I have not found my ranger skills useful while looking for rares. While looking for things to harvest, it comes in handy, but for pets, most of the time, I just scan my radar for them. For those that have missions, it is easier to take missions. For those that do not have missions, they usually spawn in certain locations, so it just takes a little time. When I had my first (and only) GPS encounter, it was by seeing that red dot all by itself and tabing on it.
