Ranger Archive

This may not work for everyone either, but I leveled the 3rd trapping box for Ranger this morning in about an hour or two this morning. Found an Imp base on Dantooine (Ahazi) with a ton of stormies around, and found a few wild spawns in the area (savage quenkers, a few random grassland voritors, and a couple of nests of pikets). I just ran aound, milked all the pikets, pulled either a voritor or the group of quenkers over to the imperial base, and all the stormies just ripped everything to pieces for me. For the nests I'd just thump the nest a couple times to get everything to aggro on me, then burstrun over to the imps, spam peace all the while, and let the imps and ATSTs engage everything. Once they had gotten into it with everything melee and pretty much drawn everything off me, I would put a bleed and some damage on each creatrue (mindsho2 + mindshot1 + headshot) so that I could harvest after they died, then I just happily stood there and lobbed traps as quickly as I could. It was amazingly fun,and inonly an hour or so (maybe a bit more)I completed Advanced Trapping 3. The only bad part was I was having toturn to stims just to keep my action up from throwing all the traps! (Of COURSE I was doing this unbuffed andlargely unarmored - I'm a RANGER after all )Racked up scout and trapping XP very quickly, got a ton of hides and some pretty decent milk that my BE is loving me for, and had a TON of fun.

Then off to Coronet to train trapping 3, frontiering 3, and field bioscience 4 (and now proudly wearing the Tracker tag). I hope that the spawns are that good later tonight, I'll probably try and get most or all of Trapping 4. Then just a matter of running up the Wayfaring tree, and I'm to Master Ranger. I'm betting I complete all 4 boxes of Wayfaring before I actually get the Frontiering done...

Zapper , I just noticed that you're on Ahazi too... if you're interested, I'd be happy to help you out in game if we happen to get on around the same time. Always availble and willing to help a fellow scout / ranger. Send me an email or a tell in game (Dekiion) and I'll do what I can to help. I've got a reasonably decent little R3 tank and I'm working my way to Master Rifle, I'd be happy to help you rack up trapping or anything else. Want to come hunt on Dantooine? Or we could make a trip out to Yavin (lots of quick Scout XP with maskscent there), or any other place you'd like.

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone had some tips for a crafter going ranger. Anything worth decent trapping will kill me or incap me if I try and trap it. Is there any way around this besides teaming up with someone?

Thanks.

This is by far the easiest tree in the entire game. Yes, even easier than the crafting in artisan.

Heres my guide from novice scout to Advanced trapping 4

1. First and foremost: WIre Meshs are your best friend. Can be thrown over and over on the same target. Probalyl something they'll never fix. Use it. Love it.

2. Find a Capper Spineflap outside any Naboo city and throw meshes at the little bugger. Train. Repeat until you have trapping 3. Estimated Time: 20 minutes

3. Locate Fanned Rawl or Greater Shaupaut. Same process as step 2 until you qualify for Trapping 4 Estimated Time: 5-8 minutes

4. Once mastered scout and obtained novice Ranger this is where it gets easy. Same traps. Dantooine. Find a Huurton Matriach and go nuts. Estimated Time for Adv Trapping 1: 10 minutes at most

5.Now that you have Adv Trapping 1 feel free to head to Endor and find yourself a Merek Death Head. 937 trapping experience per trap thrown. Finish the rest of the tree in 45 minutes

Notes: Easiest and most useless tree. Fill up a toolbar with 24 sets of wire meshes and just go to town. Have fun... I've mastered ranger twice and have followed this easy path both times. Cant go wrong.

I'll add you to my friends list, Aragorn. Btw, my name in game is Jadis
