Ranger Archive

- Each scout in a group with loot permissions for a corpse may harvest from the corpse. Harvested group kills yield 60% their normal resources and xp, but may be harvested by each scout in the group.

Have we had much clarification for this? If I'm the only Ranger/Scout in a group and I want toharvest 100% of the resource,does this mean I have to be the only personwith standard looting rights? Is there, or shouldn't there be an option for harvest loot?

I hunt with a BH friend often and she doesn't want to share theresources and would rather see me get it all. But when we gun down NPC's, she wants to split the credits and loot but I'm afraid the whole looting rights thing is really going to mess this up.

While I completely understand and think this is all in all a good idea, I just don't want to get shafted for 40% of my normal resource intake either considering I hunt with my friend most nights of the week.

Just harvest your 60% , have her harvest her 60% and give it all to you at the end of the night You'll actually be getting more , 120% as opposed to 100% . Good luck

60% rule applies also if you disband the group.

My question, is what if I am grouped with my pet do I only get 60% too?

ummm.. duh? Why didn't I think of that?? hehe

Thanks!

Still a problem if you're the only scout/ranger.. but better than ninja'ing.

i am so glad to see that the ninja harvesting problem will go away.

just tested it out with my pet and I was getting 6 hides for being grouped with them and then 11 hides off tabages when I was not grouped, so right now it looks like if you are part of any group you only get 60%.

Bug this, pets should not decrease your scout Harvest. If anything they should have a command that allows you to declare "harvesting rights" in a group. If more than 2 people do it, then it should be split 60%.

Dang. I /bugged this on TC last week.

I was hoping they would have resolved it BEFORE they released the new changes.

Oh well, I guess I stay ungrouped from now on.

That's a really good idea. Simple and effective. It's not only about the resource harvesting, but the XP as well. My BH friend and I can combine for a total of 120% of hides, but I'm still only going to get 60% of the XP. And now that they've increased the requirements for the XP, it just pushes aspiring master rangers into going solo.

Tell her that she HAS to harvest now or that would be wasted resources, and if she doesnt want them she can give them all to you before you guys log.

You will ultimately get more resources.

BONUS tell her to harvest meat and you take hide, now you essentially harvested two different resources from the same creature, aren't you badass now!

I'm sorry but what is ninja harvesting?

Is this when you call it when someone mysterously harvests before you have a chance to get up and walk over?

If so...excellent name for it hehe


What would be perhaps a good trade off is if you get 60% of harvest but the same XP as you would have othewise...just an idea.

"Is this when you call it when someone mysterously harvests before you have a chance to get up and walk over?"

- Yep

- This was always a problem in rag-tag groups (thrown together for the purpose of experience). Mostly the younglings in the group would get over ambitious and simply rush to harvest any corpse that appeared, whether it was their kill, or their turn to harvest.

Forcing other people to harvest for one person's benefit is no better than forcing scouts to fight over harvest rights.

If this is the new system, it's as much a disincentive for grouping as the old one.
