Just levelling up a Ranger now, and a mere level 36, but here's what I can offer so far on my experiences, for the lower level Rangers:
- at 22, when you get Panic Animal, the DW crocs in Oasis are easy pickings. This can easily take you to 23/24ish. From here, I grouped until 30 in Highkeep.
- at 30, the cougars in Iceclad were *amazing* xp. I fear kited these all the way to 35 with absolutely no concerns. In that entire time I had *one* add, and had to root park them and camp to clear aggro, but that was the only glitch. Very safe spot. Very good xp. And managed to get 6 earrings in those 5 levels (2 for me; sold 4 at 200p/ea).
- at 35, I moved over to the teleport circle area and picked on dire wolves. Slightly tougher, but much better xp. This got me to 36 without a problem.
- at 36, I've now moved to Overthere. It seems the OT level spread is very similar to Iceclad: Cougars = Rhinos; Dire Wolves = Sabertooth tigers/tigresses, for the most part. So this was more of a lateral switch than an improvement, but it is certainly easier to get groups here if you decide you want a break from kiting; and it could be my imagination, but xp seemed a *little* better in OT. I could be wrong though.
- at 40, I'm going to consider the tigeraptors in WL. You can harmony the camp, pull singles, and kite them in front of SS. If that proves to be a profitable camp, I should be able to ride that to 42/43ish. Another option is EJ stuff, I suppose, but there's a lot of roamers to worry about there. You could also roam the karanas and fear kite griffons at this point, but I find you spend half your time tracking the rare griffon spawn than you do actually killing.
