Ranger solo

Red is pretty amazing. No need to ever wait in line for a camp you want. With serverwide OOC you can find groups immediately. No need to ever solo on a ranger. Necromancers don't even solo on red.

Red's group bonus makes it dumb not to group. On blue, with real Everquest rules and a high population, it's nice to solo time to time to get away from people.
The point is rangers can efficiently solo, to 60 even, if they feel like it. It's a nice change of pace for rogue like myself instead of LFG. And fun.

<Thunderdome> is a lot of fun. No smell of shit filled socks on this server.

Recommendations on mobs/zones/strategies for Level 54 Ranger to solo at? I have a fungi and woodsmans but no epics, can buy consumables if that'll speed things up some.

Thanks

54... Seafuries will probably work out pretty well for you. Gets a little easier with chloro. I killed them mid 50s till they were green, 57 I think, and stayed there to farm until 58. Very slow exp for that last level, but w/e I made 30k.

Mid 50s, with some CoV faction, consider checking out WW animals for fear kiting. A guild mate was having problems with resists at 52, but it should be pretty good exp if you can get your fears to stick.

Permafrost fear kiting like the guy from red suggested sounds intriguing as well. Maybe give that a go 56+

Actually he did perma 52-56... I say 56+ because that's when roots got reliable for my druid, but rangers never do get an OP root so yeah.. If you can figure that place out and survive the double spawns, Permafrost will be the absolute best exp in game for you. Bad place to find a rez though.

Bring a skinning knife and some threads to make leather padding while you're down there. You'll have enough HQ skins and padding to max smithing and enough hand made bags for every alt you ever make.

Are there any decent cash spots/spawns that a Ranger can solo, and at what level brackets?

[Cecily]

I remember DL mobs kicking my rogue's butt unless I got a fear off back when intimidate worked better. And KC I wouldn't touch until mid / higher 50s solo. Those mobs were always pretty tough fights.

I'm super hazy on low 50s, but I think I did a mix Highkeep nobles (outdoor zone and rogue mobs) and the 3 barbarian guards near the tundra in Everfrost. Those guards are on a 6 min timer and fairly tough, but were a nice uncontested camp. I wanna say that took me to 55-56 and then I did seafuries till 58, very very slowly, and walked out of OoT with 30k in gems.

LDCs in SolB make a good duo camp with a fungi monk. You can split the damage between the two of you and provide some crowd control / support buffs. I did that at 57 with a 53 monk and it was pretty nice exp.

A guy on red suggested permafrost bear pits and fear kiting. This is something I want to check out and verify / figure out how to do it. CR from hell and hard to get there, but that's gotta be the absolute best exp option mid 50s to 60s rangers have.

Thanks, I check those Nobles out in Highpass Keep, never been xping in that zone. But I suppose I will be kos in there after a few kills, are there a nice spot near zoneline I can stand or how do I avoid being killed?

Assuming you are a Ranger there isn't any reason you should be killed doing nobles. Harmony for single pull and make sure the mob is snared. If things get hairy, root and back off. Don't turn your back and run because they will backstab you so hard you will delete your ranger and reroll a rogue.

If you can't handle one noble you can try Captain Boshinko hes a little easier mob and is right next to the zone. Think he's on a 6 min or maybe 10 min spawn.

Don't kill the bards or Isabella and it will make your life a lot easier.
