About Rangers at 50 or 60

The monk epic is also a good deal easier to get than ranger epics.

I don't recall the monk epic fights too well off the top of my head but I do know the ranger one is relatively easy once epic fever gets rolling. Certainly no 10+ hour camps involved in the ranger epic a la Raster.

the ranger class to get over the fact that it is inarguably the worst class in the game until Luclin/PoP

It's certainly not inarguable. Knights and mages have to be right up there.

Ranger epic requires the shattered emerald of corruption which is unspeakably rare. It can't really be camped, so you have to just wait for it to drop some day and hope you get it. Lots and lots of people simply never did. They increased the drop rate in like 2004 or something and put it on trash mob loot tables as well, so don't trust the allakhazam comments where they say they got it from hideous rats and stuff. It used to only drop off the PoH mini-bosses, and with a 1% chance or so. Considering the competition on this server, less hardcore players will have a hard time getting this.

Ehh, like is mentioned above, the emerald originally dropped off Inny himself, every time two at a time I believe. That one wouldn't be too much problem to get since only rangers need it, just a matter of getting up to Hate for an Inny kill.

Yeah, VS would be a bit of a pain here to wait for here, forgot rangers have to share that drop with druids. Still, I believe VS drops 2 at a time, every time, on a 3 day spawn.

Except gods will still be instakilled on spawn by quick to mobilize guilds and VS drops Kunark legs so that will be on perma lockdown as well. So, unless you're a ranger in a guild that can poopsock/race for these mobs... probably not as easy as you are making it out to be. Your memory is incorrect or you did epics well after they were put in game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Neither, I got mine in early Kunark on a server where guilds worked together.

We'll see. Those guilds that do kill VS *should* offer up the stones somehow after they no longer need them themselves. May auction them off or something? I dunno.

As to the Inny stones, they're going to rot probably after the first kill or two post epics for pretty much any guild (no guild having more than 4 50+ rangers). Again, the guild that kills him will either auction up the stones or simply let rangers loot them if the ranger has the means to get to hate in the first place (they wouldn't have nearly the value of VS stones).

Anyways, I guess monk is *easier* but i personally hate doing anything on this server that requires retarded camps. And like I said, the stone in Hate isn't rare, drops off Inny every time. It only dropped off minibosses post revamp. Nothing needed for ranger epic is rare.

Yeah, good luck on your drop off of Inny and your drop off Venril Sathir that druids also need for their epic.
