Thread: A Rangers kind of night

So last night I am out on LOK running across the wilderness towards the volcano. I am doing area tracks every 500 meters.

Well I spot a group of Gurks welps ah my 1st lair for the night.

I pull my rfle and move forward to a position over looking the lair allowing me the opportunity to cover the entire area.


From my overwatch postion I proceed to reduce the lair down to 15% and remove gurks as they charge me.

One shot, Two shots gurks are falling to my front, gurks fall to my left.


As I am working my way to the Gurk King I notice a Yellow Dot on radar to my right and then the dot turns red, and another and another.

I look over over my sholder its three Giant Dune Kimo's 80 meters away.

Ah fortune is smiling on me.


I continue to polish off gurks and I finally see my quarry the Gurk King. Advaned sniperhsot, Headshot the King is dead!

I run up to loot the King. Ah success 8 Gurk King Hides on my first kill of the night. This is a sweet moment.


I turn my attention to the GDKs now. I release Sparky my Razor cat telling him to stay until I am ready.


I move forward to the closest GDK, I throw a P-Dart to get its attention, I run back towards Sparky 80 meters back with the GDK in tow.

I get back to sparky and throw another P-dart and snare the GDK so I go prone and proceed to use Advanced Snipershot, Headshot, and StartleShot cycling as fast as I can. I have one pissed off GDK now. OH this fella really hates me now.


Drinking some brandy to boost my spirits and calm me down I look at my buddy Sparky. I give him the attack order. Sparkywith hisCL8 fury is unleashed on the GDK while I continue to pound the GDK into submission.


I notice more yellow dots appear and turn yellow I look in back of me. Three More GDK have spawned in back of me now. Fortune is smilling 3 in front and 3 in back. I continue to take down the GDK in front. I then notice off to my right 3 more GDK have spawned. Praise the Gods of all Rangers I have 9 GDKS to select from.


Well short story for the night I looted 22 GDK scales, 8 Gurk King hides, 24 +10 health scales.


I only had time for 2 more Gurk Kings and didn't loot anymore off them for the night.


But what a Ranger kind of night I had last night.


I used P-darts for the snare, and L-darts to keep a dizzy state on each GDK. My CL8 razor cat was grouped with me and I only sent it in when I had the aggro firmly on me. As long as there were no other targets close, my Razor cat lived to help me. He was hitting for 55 points every few seconds and really sped up the take downs. It kept the GDK from regen'ing the health HAM bar.


The one time Sparky bought the farm was when a GDK spawned right on top of the GDK I was killing.


All in all I killed around 10 GDKS when I was really after Gurk kings last night.


Now if I can find Gurk Kingstonight I will be a happy Camper.

Great story and great times. We must have both been hunting the same area, it was awesome last night. Looked good this morning too, until server reset. I hope the spawns are acting the same after reset!

The area I was hunting last night ran from the static gurk spawn near the Volcano to the volcano.


I think I saw 2 people there last night working over Kimos. I know I saw Snares going into affect from long off while I was hunting.


Had to remind my Guildie to leave them alone someone was busy solo'ing a Kimo.

I just wish I had known the spawn picked up sooner. Spent the better part of last night on Tat, nuking Krayts left and right. Hooked up with a couple guys that wanted to get the Ancient badge and saw I had it, didn't believe me when I told 'em I solo'd it... so I showed 'em. Nothing to show for all of it in terms of loot (one of them got a pearl tho), but I got 2 new friends in game,one an "old school" played-since-beta-unlocked-during-holo-craze-daysJedi who was super nice, and one a new player who was a newbie but certainly not a n00b.



Oh, and the memories I'll have of those "l33t" jedi coming in, trying to kill the 2nd Grand as we finished ours off... hilarious. We took out a Grand, then an Ancient, then a Juvie, and after they finished dying or generally running around screaming, we finished their Grand off too. Hilarious times. Serves them right, for coming up to ours and trying to take a crack at it and getting somewhat rude when I polited sent them a tell to "Back off, please". We all had a good laugh at them going off to take on a Juvie, only to come screaming back towards us a few min later, health almost gone and force runnin' their little Jedi butts out of there.


Yah, Ranger/Rifles (me), full template Jedi and Master Commando / CM / (not sure what else the new guy had) was a nice little group to be in, hehehe. We certainly cut a swath back and forth around the general area of the graveyard and back to the static spawns as well. Probably took out 10 or 15 dragons, only time we had an issue is when some azzhat n00bs decided to agro a couple and drag them towards US screaming "HELP! HELP!" as they ran.



Just working and waiting for servers to come back up so I can see if the devs are gonna continue to show us sweet, sweet spawn lovin' on Lok. I think I have 20-30 million worth of "parts" for RIS at the current rates on the trade forums, if not more than that. Guess I'll have to get me a custom set of RIS made, then sell the rest... what to do with all that money (other than get ADKs for my new RoTW rifles).

I am short 1 gurk king hide right now from making three full suits of RIS with my alt.


I've been waiting for the health enhancer to get fixed again before I make RIS.


I have enough stuff for 3 full suits at +350 health.


Going to give one suit away to a guildie as an award for the person who helps other the most in the guild.


The other two will be to raise some capital and pay taxes on the guild City. Hopefully I will clear maybe 20 million afterward.


The RIS I have been making hits 6395 resist for 100K condition. I know Brutal can hit huigher but I don't see the point of getting 51% resist at 6540 versus 50% resist at 6300.


Let me know if you want the RIS made I will do it for free for a fellow Ranger.

6395 with 100k condition? That's pretty sweet. I might just have to take you up on that. If I manage to get some more gurk hides, I'll gladly share as well. Gonna see if I can get a few more sets of scales first.


Loved your post on trade forum about the woolamander frags too. It's INSANE how easy those are to get now. I got just over 200 the other day spending a couple hours there until I capped rifles and scout XP. Bet nobody is gonna pay 100k per fragment anymore, tho they still seem to sell at something like 35-50k each currently. Heck, even low balling it and selling for 35k each, that's 7million in about 2 hours for mostly sitting there chatting in guild chat, and occasionally killing the poor lil woolamanders. Nice.

I should have just stayed out of that thread.


When I started up my alt last year I wanted to make armor for my ranger because I thought the prices were insane then.


I tried to make quality armor and stilll sell it cheap so anyone could affod it. But every time I did that I would get hit by some merchant reseller. So I gave up on that Ideal.


I was making armor for my guild for free but it turned into me playing my Alt more than my Ranger so that ended after about 4 months this year.


Now I just make armor when I need it or when I want to raise some credits.


I play my Ranger strictly for the fun of the hunt. I hunt for myself and thats pretty much it. Just do my thing and have fun doing it.


So the offer is always open just let me know when so I can get some layers made.


I have one suit on display now in my shop. Its the suit I made for my daughter to run around in.


She kills me grinding while wearing RIS.
