Ranger solo

[Darguth]

Is there a decent guide out there of solo/fear-kiting progression spots for Rangers?

Also, are there any decent farmable (i.e. reasonable loot) animals out there?

I did cougars in iceclad till maybe 37.

I know I did 37-40 with a monk and druid in crystal caverns basement.

From there I did City of Mist (some grouping, some face tank soloing golems) or fear kiting in Emerald Jungle (various mobs, they tend to really hit hard so refear early).

46 I ported to tox forest and ran across Norrath to get to EC, did the full level killing any xp con on my way (Antonius Bayle, Hill Giants, Griffons, Spectres, Sand Giants, etc).

47 I did Sonic Bats in Naggy B.

48 I returned to North Karana and am doing (Rabid) Griffons and hill giants.

Griffons are pretty easy fear kites, but are sometimes a little thin on the ground if you planned to stay logged in for extended periods. I find they are best for logging in, killing like 5 griffons and going back to IRL.

Grimfeather in NK you can get a quest item for Ivy Etched Sleeves.
Ancient Croc in guk you can get gator-scale arms/legs.

Any recommendations prior to Iceclad? I rolled a new ranger who is 14 now, but trying to figure out where I could solo at 22 when I get Panic Animal. I want to group mostly, but would also like to have locations identified for those times I can't find a group or can't dedicate a multi-hour play session and just want to kill a few mobs before logging.

I'll also have a Shaman buddy to duo with much but not all of the time, so face-tanking will be more viable than it might be otherwise.

Kodiaks for high quality tundra Kodiak pelts in eastern wastes. The pelts sell decently but rare and there's no condensed area of kodiaks.

Jimjam - Woodsmans staff was the only weapon I have used level 1 - 54. I did 48-50 in City of mist and then 50 - 54 in KC

Fear kited 52-56 in permafrost, was pretty fun, super safe, and quick xp. Will probably return to grind to 60, just haven't been playing much lately.

On my server, Vox is always up so she just banished me if I ever wanted to leave or got PvP'd.

I assume Vox isn't up all the time on blue, but unless you get real dumb and somehow train yourself without enough mana to root/camp, I don't see any trouble you could get in on that server.

You can always just bring a Gate, Everfrost, Swamp, or FoB pot so you can leave any time you want.

[Jimjam]

What area were you actually doing the kite? Surely the other animals are going to add in?

[Jimjam]

Pretty much anything blue you should be able to grind down safely as long as you have a reasonably good weapon.

Things that drop crushbone belts or legionnaire pads will be good. If in crushbone you can keep killing emissaries and the task master solo, or do the throne room with your shaman friend. Once the xp really slows down is the best time to hand in your belts/pads. Use kelethin bank to save them all up.

Oasis is pretty easy xp and can take you to 22.

Kurns tower isn't a bad option (if you are crazy enough you can save up all the bone chips to hand kaladim, it takes about 1000 bone chips to do a level in the 20s, iirc).

Highpass is alright, save orc/gnoll scalps to hand in for xp once the area greens out. The PGT can be a fun off-hand weapon to use for the proc until duel wield/double attack actually become viable enough to put a dps weapon in your off hand. There is also a big Str pad shield that drops there and an invulnerable aura potion (ECmarts for circa 700pp).

And every single one of those days spent with over 100 people on my server. How is red these days?

I really don't know how they do it on blue
