Ranger Archive

Ok, so I am not sure this will help you guys, but this is what I had to do.

Currently I am a ranger 4040, and am working on trapping (Yes I respeced to ranger because scouting trapping at CL 80 was HORRIBLE)... but like the bonehead I am , i thought that trapping would be easier now that I am a ranger so I did not respec the whole thing. DOH! Ok, I have tryed droids,........not sure why, but they do not work at all right now. Must be a CU thing. My trapping skill is 50, and my droid has a bonus of 79, and it cant hit the broad side of a barn from 3 feet away. I just grinded (solo) 82k of trapping XP and this is how I did it. First off, I dropped my CL level down to 70. Then I bought Dweezl. This gives you a plus 20 to your trapping skill for about 14 minutes. Now with 70 in trapping, I got missions from CL 68 - 72 creatures. (Yes, I know how to track, but the WP arrow just makes it that much easier. (On a side note, I think we should be allowed to see CL level when tracking too.....maybe add that to Master Ranger)......

with Dweezl I am hitting CL 72 creatures 90% of the time. I think that the skill is parallel to the CL level. Not sure though. First time I killed the beast I got a wopping 593 trap XP. I am like oh hell.....LLLLOOONNNNGGG grind. But then I started hitting beast number 2 with a second trap when first wore off. Got more XP. Beast number three I decided to root (I am pistoleer) and used my tranquilizer on him....he didnt move after that, so I started throwing every trap I could make.... Long story short, I hit him 6 times with 6 different traps, and got 2500 trap XP.

Another side note (Phecnacine Dart is a snare trap, but after I use it with my camo on, I can sit there and fire all day long and he is perm root. Not sure if this is a bug, but for now it helps. )

Greetings to my new ranger buddies!!

I am but a newbie to the ranger way of life, and after reading as much as I can around in this forum, I decided I should aquire a good trapping droid. So I aquired one with +111 bonus to trapping. However.. it seems that my new little buddy can't land a single trap. He misses with every shot. Is there a trick to it, or did this bust along with all the other droid problems with Pub 18?

BTW, I am MRifle/Ranger xx44 for now (yeah...a respec...and trying to learn)

Welcome to the Ranger profession it's a lot of fun. As far as the droid goes it'll either have a CL of 18 or 30 depending on if it was made before or after publish 18. However I believe, and I could be wrong but I seem to recall reading this on the DE board, that if you group with it it'll have a CL of 1, which the CL is what the droid goes by regardless of the + trapping it has and has been that way since the CU, so at least that's one thing Publish 18 didn't mess up lol. The good news is that considering you have Trapping 4 in the ranger line you don't need a droid, you'll have a lot better chance of getting a trap to stick by just throwing it yourself. Hopefully that was of some assistance, good hunting.
