I haven't played galaxies in the last few days and today I just noticed that ranger got it's long awaited harvest increase. I was wondering if someone could list the actual changes done.

Thanks.

The new SWG paradigm brought to you by the ROTW expansion/CURB: "It's okay to make combat players have to form large groups to kill bunnies and puppies, but don't you DARE force a combat player to interact with anyone where the interaction involves anything other than hitting and shooting in unison."

Someone will probably beat me to it BUT:

Ranger Bonus
+50 to the harvest mod at Master Ranger

Group Bonuses
+20% when in a group
+30% when in a group with a Ranger
+40% when in a group with a Master Ranger

Keep in mind, if you are a Master Ranger a novice scout will get 40% more harvest if they are grouped with you but you will only get 20% more harvest for being grouped with her.

The only way a Master Ranger can get the 40% is to be grouped with another Master Ranger. The same goes for the non-master level Ranger and the 30% bonus. For example: If a Master and a non-master level Ranger are grouped, the non-master will get a 40% increase and the Master will get a 30% increase.

And that's a lot of fun !
I tank critters,whilst an MRanger Rifleman depletes the critters minds.... It's awesome (Can't wait to log back on to continue hunting with my fellow Rangers!)

Typical.

I spend 6 months as a master ranger, then two weeks after I drop ranger for more combat skills (made me feel more useful in group outings to the vette/DWB) they finally worked on rangers.

My friends knew how I agonized over dropping ranger, and when the change came through they told me about the harvesting increase (which I could care less about). However, it was when I noticed that they dropped the group penalty for a bonus in harvesting that has brought me back. I spent a good long time as a solo hunter, and I much prefer hunting with friends.

Now I just have to choose between staying a TKM or mastering rifles. To tank or not to tank, that is the question.

Myself and another Master Ranger were out on Yavin hunting recently and the bonus is great. Especially on high spawn planets like Yavin. The changes make group hunting and harvesting fun again.

Hope you didn't drop too many boxes.

Heh.

Dropped all of ranger, and all of the trapping tree in scout. But I don't mind working it all back in. Since I will generally only hunt in groups, the wilderness xp will come quickly. I'm just glad I kept all the crates of HTFB that I had made, I have at least 200 ready for use.

Now I just need to convince some guild mates to go ranger so that I can enjoy the larger bonuses in harvest
