Ranger best class in game, if anyone can do it, it's a ranger !

In luclin Era, yes. In velious Era though the correct answer is monk or shaman.

weak

You're a ranger, its an outdoor zone. Why do you need faction? Just harmony/sneak through and use the vendors/banks that way. Don't forget the merchants in OT are all greedy so should only be used as a last resort anyway*. I think saving up one or two thousand plat to loan some strings will be a lot less painful than farming zerker braids if you hope to do the OThammer quest.

*My preferred method of resupplying is dieing, and buying everything I need from my bind zone whilst waiting for a rez. Turns down time into something constructive. Rivervale is a great bind for rangers; Kith has GMs, plenty of supplies in RV, has a high density druid traffic location, with more ports in WC thanks to the wizard spires. You can quickly get to highpass and farm orcs for scalps or idols too if the rez is going to be a slow one.

That wiki page is flawed. The tables aren't quite right though that is where Amiable begins so that's all that really matters. However, there is no such thing as decimal values with factions and the actual hits are +8 Venril Sathir for each turn in.

Assuming you're at the very bottom of Scowls you'll need 257 turn-ins or 1028 braids to reach Amiable. If you're at the top range of Scowls or bottom of Threateningly you'll need 138 turn-ins or 552 braids.

I am not looking forward to maxing this one...

I think it's more for the accomplishment of doing the OT hammer quest myself. Plus it's easy to log in for a few minutes here and there and kill a few zerkers.

At least you've got tracking.... don't forget to clear the knights too.

Just do your VP key.. do 2 clears = ally faction.

It would certainly be an achievement. If I were under 53 I'd probably just use such small windows to kite dark blue tigers until either the zone ran out or I ran out of time.

I hope your ranger is named Sisyphus.
