Ranger Archive

• The rangers will need to complete their side of the quest to gain the certs for the clothing and various hunting trophys aswel as the badge.


• The tailor will need to complete their side of the quest to gain the schematics for the components needed for the clothing aswel as (various art items) and the badge.

After this point both professions have completed the quest for gaining Jakra's trust (Preliminary). Its is now up to both professions to work together toget the clothing.Below is the basic set up for the preliminary stages of the quests.

1. The tailor finds Jakra bychatting to some npcs (similar to ranger side).


2. Talk to Jakra


3. Set out on first mission


4. Get schematics for1 of the ten components


5. Set out on second mission (maybe interplanetary travel needed)


6. Get schematics for1 of the ten components (Collectively = 2/5) + Art Item (Tailor related)


7. Set out on third mission (perhaps involving participation by ranger)


8. Get schematics for1 of the ten components (Collectively = 3/5) + Art Item (Tailor related)


9. Answer questions based on parts of your profession and if answered correctly progress


10. Get the last 2 schematics (Collectively = 5/5) + Jakra Lan Badge

And for the ranger:

1. The ranger finds Jakra by talking to various contacts and tracking him down using their skills.


2. Talk to Jakra


3. Do first mission (Hunt Malrok Stag)


4. Do second mission (Cook dinner)


5. Answer hunter/ranger specific questions to progress and recieve Hunting Trophy


6. Recieve item datadisk from Jakra


7. Set out and get the items highlighted from the animals in Jakra's datadisk then return the 10 items to Jakra


8. Give items to Jakra and recieve 10 'refined' sub-componentsinreturn


9. Answerhunter/ranger questions to progress.


10. RecieveHunting Trophy andJakra Lan Clothing Certs (perhaps need to do quest again per piece?)

Ok now the tailor has the ability to craft the components needed to create the'Jakra LanClothing'. The ranger now is certed for the clothing and has the sub-components for the clothing.

The ranger will need to contact and hire a tailor for this next section and mirrored, the tailor will need to recieve custom from a ranger if he/she wants to create the clothing.

The next steps are as follows:

1. Ranger hires tailor and give payment


2. The ranger gives the subcomponents to the tailor


3. The tailor then uses these 10 sub-components to craft the5 main components needed to make'Jakra LanClothing'


4. They then head to Jakra's hunting cabin.


5. The tailor talks to Jakra and he takes him/her through the story of how it works,how it is made and what is needed.


6. Jakra introduces the tailor to the special crafting station needed to put the components together and the tailor selects which piece of clothing they want to craft.


7. The tailor then inputs the items needed (maybe materials other than components also, but all craftable on site if the tailor has the resources)


8. The crafting process starts and the 'Jakra LanClothing' item is deposited into the tailor's inventory.


9. The tailor then sells the item to the ranger (for a hefty price of course )

Ok now the tailor has completed his/her side of the overall quest.the rangeris nowfree to wear this item if he/she wishes, however to gain the true unique properties that only Jakra himself can apply to an item, the ranger must finish the final part of the quest.

This next section turns the Jakra Lan Clothing into the Jakra Lan Wilderness Clothing. The difference being the Jakra Lan Clothing has no stats, wherass the wilderness version is the one with the stats.

Here is the final questwhat therangerhas to do:

1. Do the first mission of settingoff to find final items on Jakra's home planet (This could be 5 items all lootable from various creatures)


2. Take the items and the Jakra Lan Clothing to Jakra


3. Give them to him and the enhancment process starts


4. Do the second mission (cook him dinner again)


5. Recieve your Jakra Lan Badge, Jakra Lan Hunter/Legendary Hunter title and your Jakra Lan Wilderness Clothing item.


6. Stand smuggly outside Theed Startport with your new title and clothing on

• The enhanced clothing will have the same stats as detailed in the original idea.


• The 'Jakra Lan Clothing' you buy from the tailor side of the quest is simply the exact same looking clothing as the enhanced stuff but without the stats that come with it. This way the tailors are responsiblefor crafting the main part of the item and infact the final part if the ranger wishes but the quest storyabout Jakras secret ways and legendary techniques is still maintained.


• The tailor should have the option to select from a wide range of color options whilsthe/sheis crafting.


• Once the tailor has finished and got the badge on the preliminaryquest, he/she can return as many times as they want andselect to craftwhatever clothing piece they want to. All they need to do is have the5 components ready.


• Aslong as the rangerknows whereto get the items for the sub-components he/she can return at any time and getJakra to'refine' these items into the sub-components needed. The ranger would not have to answer any questions or recieve any reward, simply say he would like Jakrato refine the items he hasso he mayattempt to get more clothing.

Final Thoughts.

There a quiet afewnew ideas thrown around in here that have taken into account alot of views from both sides.In the end i think itwould provide a fun andexcitingset of quests for bothprofessionswith nice rewards for each side.

From the original idea we established a good set of ranger missions to go with the quest, however i have no ideas of what tailors would want in terms of mission set up etc, so i left those detailed as mission 1,2,3 etc. Have you any suggestions on possible tailor missions? what would be fun but also challanging and somehow involve the mystery of Jakra in some way?

obviously the rangers around here love the idea of having hunting trophies as rewards, i have no idea what the tailors would want so instead of just guessing i put the option down as 'Art Item'. Do you tailors have any ideas on what art item they could be? what you would want? And also what name would you wantfor your badge or even would you want a new title linking to the quest?

I knowthe clothing requires alot of effort from both sides but i think this is how it should be. It should be hard to get and require you to work together. I dont think the tailor should be able to craft the whole thing whilst sitting athome next to a standard crafting station because it spoils the idea of Jakra Lan having and crafting this amazing clothing. Instead the idea has been move towards, he teaches the tailors to make the components needed so they can craft them by themselves, but in order to compile and fit together all the other pieces they need Jakras guidance and help. The tailorsstill craft the items themselves however they need Jakras help. I think this totally fits in with the main story and doesnt take anything away fromthe tailoreither.

As for letting you craftthe 'Jakra LanClothing'piece (The clothig with no stats)i think this is the best way currently (from what i can think of) that maintains the fact Jakra Lan is legendary in the ranger world and this special clothing issuper rare, whilst at the same time pushing the tailor into thequest as the mainpiece to 'craft' the Jakra Lan Clothing.

Having the stats applied to it later (turning it from Jakra Lan Clothing into Jakra Lan Wilderness Clothing) simply lets us rangers have an extra little quest on the end because after all, afterwe get you the sub-components, we basically just give you the pieces and stand around waiting.

Thanks for readting........... Again.......
