Ranger solo

[demokatt]

It's not hard to get to. Have a druid port you to cs then follow you and zone into sirens. Then you both succor and you will end up at WW zoneline. :-)

As a ranger, you can sneak round the sea horses in SG without drawing aggro btw. Make sure you have an invis on to get past the mobs at zone in.

I tried that once but those damn seahorses saw me dispite being invis and I ended up dead on the bottom. Fortunately, the one who helped me show the way was a Cleric [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

you didn't read the post..

You need to use SNEAK to get around the seahorses, the invis is just for walruses

I know it's obvious, but so we're all clear - you have to remain behind mobs for sneak to work.

Anyone have any experience trying to fear kite bats/bugs in SolB and any tactics they might suggest in doing so?

gotta make sure to land a snare and it helps to clear the bathing beetle, buys you more room. maybe carry a tash stick, the bats are a little resistant in the early 50s

Ive been toying with making a semi twinked alt. I dont have the funds for things like fungi tunic, but certainly a decent set of armor, a woodsman staff, etc. i know rangers are not top tier soloers and have read through this thread and various guides linked. My main is a shaman (closing in on 50) and a bard who i strictly duo with my buddy (shaman) in the mid 40s. I am interested in making an alt because I miss just running around and exploring the early content. Ranger just seems like a fun class with the tools they have. So my question is. Given a rangers ability to solo, be it face tankng, bow kiting, fear kiting animals, etc. if I stick to camps that are 6 minute spawns ie bard diet, deputy guards, easy camps where one can set a timer and walk away. Will the 6 minutes of downtime be enough to recoup my hp and mana? Is this doable as far as kill speed? Again I know ranger is not the best soloer or the fastest. I just want to know if it is viable without sinking more than 8-10k in the character. Also for this play style, wood or half elf?

Use bats zoneline. I'd fear them at the top and root them if they got too close to other bats. Others suggested refearing to change their direction.

You can calm animal to reduce chance of adds while breaking in. Hopefully someone will be keeping the nox PH down to make it extra safe. Fighting with sneak on can help too. Remember bugs can't be calmed or feared by you.

Was good xp with 47 ranger (no fungi, no epic.), but was kinda edgy. The level of the bats means xp starts to slow down by 54, which is compounded by the fact 54 is a hell level.

You're wrong Aramis.
