Ranger Archive

• Does it indeed require Novice Scout?


• Does it use the 60% group harvesting rule?


• Can this rule be circumvented?


• Does it use its owners skill?


• If so, is the creature harvesting skill on the module a bonus to the owner?


• If so, can a master scout with 2 modules and veghash gain a +100 or higher creature harvesting skill?


• Can the droid be used to harvest more then one resource? (answered by Calc in other thread, No)

I'm not on testcenter so I'm not able to test myself but thought it might be convenient for those who are to have a bulleted list to test. Above list is composed of my own questions and those I've seen in other threads. Feel free to add to these points.

Maybe we can use this droid to get some of our Ranger wishes.

Example 1: the droid can be used to harvest a second resource. At Master Ranger you get the ability to control 2 droids so we can harvest all 3.

Example 2: the harvesting modifier on the droid is stackable up to 6 modules (not sure, just thinking away) and not capped at 125. Allowing the ranger with droid and veghash to get a 200-300 creature harvesting skill. A droid with 6 modules should only be effective with a master ranger. The other 4 modules can be put in the wayfaring tree.

Let's not look at this droid as the deathblow to our beloved profession but as an oppertunity to get some of our stuff in.

• Can this rule be circumvented? See above.


• Does it use its owners skill? Unknown as yet, seems to harvest pretty much the same amount.


• If so, is the creature harvesting skill on the module a bonus to the owner? See above


• If so, can a master scout with 2 modules and veghash gain a +100 or higher creature harvesting skill? See 2 above


• Can the droid be used to harvest more then one resource? No


• (New) Can the droid be used in combat? Yes

Check out this thread

And of course, this is only 1 module, droids can have more than 1 module...
