Ranger Archive

Ok, so I am not sure this will help you guys, but this is what I had to do.

Currently I am a ranger 4040, and am working on trapping (Yes I respeced to ranger because scouting trapping at CL 80 was HORRIBLE)... but like the bonehead I am , i thought that trapping would be easier now that I am a ranger so I did not respec the whole thing. DOH! Ok, I have tryed droids,........not sure why, but they do not work at all right now. Must be a CU thing. My trapping skill is 50, and my droid has a bonus of 79, and it cant hit the broad side of a barn from 3 feet away. I just grinded (solo) 82k of trapping XP and this is how I did it. First off, I dropped my CL level down to 70. Then I bought Dweezl. This gives you a plus 20 to your trapping skill for about 14 minutes. Now with 70 in trapping, I got missions from CL 68 - 72 creatures. (Yes, I know how to track, but the WP arrow just makes it that much easier. (On a side note, I think we should be allowed to see CL level when tracking too.....maybe add that to Master Ranger)......

with Dweezl I am hitting CL 72 creatures 90% of the time. I think that the skill is parallel to the CL level. Not sure though. First time I killed the beast I got a wopping 593 trap XP. I am like oh hell.....LLLLOOONNNNGGG grind. But then I started hitting beast number 2 with a second trap when first wore off. Got more XP. Beast number three I decided to root (I am pistoleer) and used my tranquilizer on him....he didnt move after that, so I started throwing every trap I could make.... Long story short, I hit him 6 times with 6 different traps, and got 2500 trap XP.

Another side note (Phecnacine Dart is a snare trap, but after I use it with my camo on, I can sit there and fire all day long and he is perm root. Not sure if this is a bug, but for now it helps. )
