Ranger Archive

First off, look for a Scout guide. Ranger abilities build on and extend scout abilities to a significant degree. Here's a quick rundown:

Wayfaring: With increases to your camouflage and terrain negotiation skillmods, you'll remain scent-masked from higher level creatures and gain increased crawling speed. Running speed up slopes is already maxed at Scout Exploration 4. There was a /conceal ability to hide you from npcs until very recently in beta. I don't know yet if it was an intentional removal or a bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Frontiering: You'll get increased success at /forage attempts and get the draft schematics for the two largest camps, the Field Base and the High Tech Field Base. These are truly huge and impressive encampments suitable for large groups. Very cool.

Field Bioscience: You'll get a huge amount of information now when you examine creatures, such as damage vulnerabilities and lists of their special attacks. Your harvesting skill continues to rise, giving you a greater quantity of meat, bones, or hides when you /harvest an animal corpse. You can make a living selling this stuff on the bazaar to crafters and medics.

Advanced Trapping: The Ranger gets area-effect traps, compared to the Scout's single-target traps. Currently there are only two, one that blinds and one that (I think) dizzies. The number of traps scouts get was doubled not long ago to nine, so I fully expect rangers to get more traps before long as well. This line also gives you the /rescue ability, which pulls non-player attackers off your friend and onto you.

IMHO, all four Ranger lines need more content and abilities to greater or lesser degrees, but I'm fairly confident they will get it sooner or later.

I wish I could learn more about how the Ranger profession works. Does anyone know of any good Ranger game guides?

My Last post didn't take because I tried to put a link in it I think. I am Zenarcher Crimsonwolf and I LOVE this Game. I have started my own EZboard forum for it and would like to invite you all to come but since I can't post the link please just go to ezboard and do a forum search with the words Zenarcher Crimsonwolf, and galaxies and it should come up. I have a Ranger Page there and will have a Rants and Flamesforum because I believe you should be allowed to say what you want when you don't agree with someone. Thanks, and I'll see everyone on Bria.

You will not find the community on EZboard by searchingfor 'Zenarcher Crimsonwolf', but you will find it if you just search for 'Zenarcher'. I'm not trying to be picky, but I want to make sure that users find your forum. By the way, it is a sad thing that Sony has decided to 'squelch' the Rants-and-Flames forums.

Thanks for the wonderfull comments Ixatch, and thanks for joining the Site. Tell your friends and come again.

Naw, the SOE rants and flame boards would just lower your IQ every time you read them.

ok

I wanted to bump this post back up to the front we are getting more folks coming in and I wanted to get everyones attention again. The Rants and Flames isnt getting used like I thought it would but we are gathering info on the game in general so.. Come on back.
