Because of this last patch I am no longer aiming towards Master Ranger, which was my number one goal in this game. I have been taking my time getting there and when the patch hit I was 4,1,4,2 I am now 4,2,4,2 and not going any further. In fact because of how terrible mask scent has become and how expensive conceal is, added to the fact that I now harvest a pitiful amount from my kills, I will soon start to give up all Ranger skills but frontering, unless of course they break that next


With tracking only being up to 500m and not working that well at all ( have been standing within a few meters of large animals and have not had them show up at all) it is not trully worth keep ing either. I loved this proffesion before and was really looking forward to this patch, now I am just dissapointed and looking for a new career

Vorpaks, yes what you said about wayfaring is basically correct for a lot of us.

This is so strange, I ran all over Dathomir yesterday and my maskscent broke three times in 4 hours, and I only got aggroed once. Someone suggested it works for some not for others... it sounds like the Bio Engineers problem. Master BEs aggro creatures they sample from constantly and Novice BEs rarely do, almost like the aggro is reversed. I have wayfaring 0 (went for hunting first), and I have no problem with maskscent... does the aggroing get worse the higher you go in wayfaring until it is almost impossible in the Master class? Lol, or maybe just really bad luck? I dunno. I love maskscent, I really hope it doesn't loose its effectiveness the higher I go.

I must admit, I seem to be attacked more often when using mask scent than when not.
