Ranger Archive

First off Hello, I’m a Ranger on Lowca. With a little luck in the next day or two it will be Master Ranger.
Working on my last box now! Below are a few things that I have not seen posted or a new take
on things that I like that were posted.

Prime Harvesting:
Make Rangers the Master Skinners, Meat Processors and bone collectors we train to be.
Grade A Prime, we know how to get the best meat off the critter and how to skin him just right.
Of course there are less Prime resources on a creature then normal resource.

Add “Prime Harvesting” to field Bioscience 2
Add “+Prime Harvesting” to field Bioscience 4
Add “++Prime Harvesting” to Master Ranger
(Or it could be spread out in tree like a lot of people want the other skills to be)

When you Harvest you get 97% normal and 3% Prime at FB 2, at master it would be 90%/10%.

Prime Harvesting adds X% to the stat of the resource.(Not really adding it, we just know what the best part of the critter is.)

Ex: Todays meat Stat. Harvested by a Scout.
DR=923, FL=737, PE=786, OQ=790

Ex: Todays Prime meat Stat. Harvested by a Ranger
DR=943, FL=757, PE=806, OQ=810

I am sure there are a lot of different ways to twist this as well. This would add something high level to Ranger without lower(Nerfing)
the harvest qty. of the Scout or raising the Harvest qty. of the Ranger. It would give the Ranger something to sell that a Novice Profession cant.

Live Animal Trap(Net)
Somewhat like a post by(Tierin) I just went and looked that up.
(Only on babies). Only works on creature levels that are tamable by a CH.
Idea 1. You walk up to creature and throw the trap. Then you fight him like normal but instead of the creature dieing it goes Incap.
Idea 2. Because babies are so easy to kill. You just throw the trap if the trap doesn’t fail then the baby goes Incap.

Then you go pick him up by clicking on him. Now he is in you backpack as a Trapped Animal Deed(like a BE deed). Now the only person that can use the Deed is a CH. When the CH clicks on it, it dose a taming check, if the check fails the creature dies(Wild Animals don’t like to be caged). If the check is good then the CH has a new Creature. I know this one may step on someone’s toes but it’s an idea. Also unlike taming, the baby is not leaving with us willingly so all other critters of the same type in the area will argo on us. Note this is not a trap you leave on the ground and you have to be there to use it. Also no one can release the animal, its ether tamed by a CH, it dies from a failed tame, or it is delete from the backpack. That way people can’t go into town and release it. Why should we have it well we are Trackers and a Trappers, you do the math.

Hunting Blind and /gametrail
/gametrail, there is a lot of different tracking ideas here is one more. Do a /gametrail this pulls up a screen like the survey tool dose with the different creatures that can be found on planet. Select Creature, you look around and get % number of the possibility that that creature will walk thou the area “A Game Trail”. Once you find a good % you drop a Hunting Blind. The Hunting Blind works off the last creature that you did a /gametrial on. The higher the % the better chance and faster the creature may come along(spawn). The HB should give you a System Tell from time to time on how things are going. “Its not looking good”, “You think you hear something”, “This is not a good day to Hunt”. To change creatures you should have to put down a new HB. HB should also give +’s to Camo.

And Just for fun
/whittle – show me an outdoorsman/women that dose not whittle something out of wood. We need to be able to forage small amounts of wood. Now while we sit in our camp under the trees of Endor we can whistle and whittle a little piece of art. Oh no, is there a /whistle, if not guess we need to have that to.

Yes this is my first post, why is it in the Ranger Forum because Rangers are simply the best.

-----------------------------------------------

basically, what Calc said.

It's a great idea. It would be neat to have implemented, but like calc said, difficult to have put into the game. However, there are other ideas for Ranger harvesting that you may find interesting. People have suggested the ability to harvest multiple times, up to three times at Master Ranger. That way you could get 3 times the meat if you needed more meat or you could get several resources if a couple were good. There's also the idea for a /harvestall option which would take all three resources in one grab.

oh and welcome to the Ranger forum. There are a few rules here:

Parties are BYOP: bring your own punchbowl. Party goers are not responsible for any Bothans left swimming in your punchbowl.

No shaving the hairy humanoids. Bothans are not greyhounds.

What Paks says, goes.

If you see Calc in a city, kindly point him towards the exit, since there's no way he'll find it himself.

Fred Skinner is stealthy in his own mind. . Just pretend you don't see him there, lurking in the forums, waiting to pounce on TH.

Owen-Lars can use the force more than Luke Skywalker...only his only Jedi skill is having good ideas. Appease him.

Phenix is an alchoholic...but a fun one. Gimme booze if ya see me. Lots of it. I share my own stash too.

Drunk Bothan jokes are ALWAYS funny.

Most of all, have fun here. Eventually, these rules will make sense. They're kinda inside jokes, but you're coming in the nuthouse so you'll so be on the inside...

one of us! one of us! one of us! one of us!

Welcome. If you follow what Phenix just said then you will fit in fine here. Good hunting.

Welcome!

What you have here is a variation of an age-old RAnger request. The ability to 'refine' resources has long be a cause of Ranger drooling. There is even talk of a mineral refining profession that was in Beta, but never made it into the Live version of the game. The main drawback to this idea, as stated by the Devs, is that when you refine a resource, it would make a new database entry. Therefore, there would be many more database entries if you included all the resources and a refined version....

Great idea, well thought out, and I can't wait to hear more from you .
