its roughly 850-1k/h depending on how fast you are. It was closer to 1k when you could kill the two guards in the castle. (sorry about that)

For a 53 Ranger (that can't really camp anything decent) hard grinding PP in Rivervale is probably the best way. It's just tedious.

EDIT: You can curve out to 1k/h if you zone out and run to the wall and kill any open guards there as well.

I think it'd be horribly inefficient to farm anything but Pegasus Cloaks as a 53 Ranger.

I can teach you how to do cloaks really well. For the amount of people that want them on server, I can't get everyone a cloak.

RV guards definitely mess with the druid epic, I wouldn't double with the Ranger as well. That camp has really taken a turn for the worse since Ella Foodcraft paths near them and buffs them. All those guards SoW really rustles my jimmies.

You're talking about Wall guards in Misty. I'm talking about inside Rivervale itself, which has 13-15 killable guards. No one buffs the guards inside. Regarding faction, I have no clue.

And the above poster is probably correct, if you can lock down SK, farming cloaks is probably better cash. Rivervale is just for easy, stable cash flow imo. It's guaranteed.

misty rivervale guards have been nerfed

pre kunark they were on 4-6 min timer now... lol good luck have fun making that 300-400 plat per hour

developers did some changes to the spawn timers

pre kunark 1k plat per hour was feasable now... go check it yourself

oh and the past few months rogues like to go into this zone, disarm pick pocket all the guards and leave them up with nothing but shields....

you need to make friends and camp big items do forager cycle sea furies find out whats the re roll of the month and profit from it

sold a mith bp for 1.8k last night to someone in need, wiki says 550 plat tops, i see them avg for 400 plat

ec is the best place to make money, no one wants to farm shit but everyone has a shit ton of plat


my 2 cp

12-16 guards... on track

you wont be able to access all of them too many reds around once you trash your faction will rape a 55+ pretty fast

As a barb shaman, I can pull every guard without agroing anything.

The only 2 you can't access without agroing are the 2 in the castle. You used to be able to send your pet in through the wall on the side with the bard, but after I fucked up the bankers too many times and they fixed it. Now the pet will path to the Mayor I believe, which pulls the whole castle.

Otherwise you can pull all 13 guards without agro. (as a Barb shaman). Seen a DE Shadow Knight do this as well.

EDIT: I wasn't aware that the timer was nerfed. If its at 16m now, your looking at roughly 180-190pp per 16 minutes, depending on if the low lvl pool spawn has a spear or not.

EDIT2: Not sure how viable Seafuries are for a Ranger solo. If there's one decent necro on the island, your pp/hr drops a huge amount. He said he can't solo the cycle and the second you introduce a friends/group structure you're pp/hr goes down as well. There's not many spots in the game for a solo ranger to make PP.. like the above said, probably cloaks is the best bet... but people here have a business in that zone and its usually locked downed or you're competing.

EDIT3: Flipping in EC is a option, so is camping FOTM items. These are good suggestions.

You are not going to Solo anything high up mob after mob even with a Fungi. You can Bow kite stuff, it will take forever to do it. Rangers are just to Squishy to do it. And yeah, good luck getting a group. I love my Ranger but they are just totally gimp in Classic in the long run. Shame they have a ton of talents.

[Itap]

Pre 50 I feel rangers have no problems tanking for groups, properly equipped, It's the Kunark mobs that hit like trucks and have a ton of HP.

I love when i group with rangers, It's like they play 10x better than any other melee, because they have something to prove.
