Naohhi,

The hardest thing I find to train is FA, in fact I've given up on training it. The compendiums still teach me a bit, but not well. (And I think I have the hardest one, has all the races in it.) My playing time is limited these days and I'm trying to maximize my cost/benefit ratio. Be nice to learn a bit of FA by keeping ourselves from going to the auto healers by using herbs. Not much experience say about 1-2% for curing one self from bleeding to healed? Just an idea. Err my FA is in 178 range if that helps.

I don't think it's just rangers I think everyone has trouble with FA once you get to 200 in FA or so, not sure of how high as mine is lower, but it takes SOOOOOO Long for me to lock it.

Sometimes Locks can be a bit of a pain to train, even with pick blind/disarm blind. I'm currently do the scout orc boxes, as the Germ's still are a bit above my melee weapons (not bow, but locks so fast). My pet peeve in the Rossman's area is that the abandoned village is considered a town area. I can understand that the manor could be considered a town area, but could we have the village proper maybe looked at to being moved to neutral? It's after all abandoned/ruined My locks are 288.

SPELLS
*WARNING WHAT FOLLOWS ARE PREJUDICED OPINONS*

Also I think some of our spells could stand to be looked at. Beseech is one that comes to mind. The initial mana cost is a bit to steep IMO. 20 Mana to even cast it, when it's improving one of our primary survival skills, I'd say lower the mana cost to start to the 10-15 mana range. Like some of the suggestions in wishlist, I'd change the name of Branch Break to entangle which would slow and at higher mana costs stun the target.

I'd like for Swarm to get some of it's deadliness back. It used to poison critters (and yourself if you weren't careful LOL). It bugs me that we don't have an AOE spell. I'd would almost do anything to get one.

Oh and one other thing can we get all the cutesy messages taken away from the messages while casting a spell?? Paklin and I went around and around on this one several years ago about the messaging I was getting on Branch Break when I cast it. Or at least to get to choose the least disagreeable messaging.

Sorry about the long post, but some things have been bugging me for a while.

You are going to have to get some Analogous Patterns spells

>I find utility and warding are prolly the toughest of the magics to train
>though I may be missing a way to do this better and happy to learn

Do you use chaos symbiosis when casting? It'll increase the difficulty of the spell pattern and you should see better experience gain. You'll have to drop the prep amount so it'll be more mana efficient as well. Invoking an utility and/or warding (non-sorcerous) empath scroll spell/analagous patterns or invoking a sorcerous scroll will definitely help.

I will give these a try. I use MAF I will see if I can adjust the other spells I train with.

Ditto on the Beseeches & magics that Sebastian mentioned. Some of the effects of beseeches are nice, but the cost to first of get them and then the spirit costs make me not use them at all. He hit it on the head with spells, our mana vs effect is really pitiful.

Crafting is also frustrating. I think if we specialize in something we should be able to learn it at a primary rate, as long as it is in our primary skill set. Especially leather armor, we should be able to get the hindrance down to no hindrance. I personally feel that leather should always be more protective than cloth unless it's paper thin leather vs a quilted gambeson. (Err that's the quilted cloth garment worn under chain mail & plate.

This is subject to change, but what Zeyurn and I came up with way back when is:

There are literal spirits of nature. Like, there could be a rock, but there could also be a sentient rock, or tree, or whatever. The Ranger confound is thus a connection to and ability to negotiate with these spirit-creatures and be in harmony with them.

Raesh and I much later discussed some radically different directions for "the Ranger thing," so we're certainly open to negotiation.

-Armifer
"Perinthia's astronomers are faced with a difficult choice. Either they must admit that all their calculations were wrong ... or else they must reveal that the order of the gods is reflected exactly in the city of monsters." - Italo Calvino

>>"Spirit" is a term used a lot in DR's fiction, so just to be clear, are they beings native to this plane or connected in some way to beings from other planes (i.e. the Spiritual Plane or, however unlikely, the Plane of Probability)? What is their rough level of intelligence? Are dragons connected to these forces in any way? They seem to be.

Again, emphasis that we're talking about something that could stand revision and will quite possibly change in the future:

To be clear, we're talking about living things native to the Plane of Abiding.

We never really settled on a general level of intelligence, though I always favored depictions of them being more animal than sapient. Life Magic, in general, doesn't scream for an association with sapience and higher thought the way Holy or Lunar does.

Dragons are... kinda sorta. Life Dragons were explicitly written to be a possible tie in to Ranger stuff in the future, but don't need to be. Dragons are totally tied into a magical symbiosis with nature that both magical and industrial pollution screws with. Whether Rangers are doing the same fundamental thing remains undefined.

How about genus loci?

Spell Flavor Messaging
Jalika's bb:
>You shake your head angrily at a zombie stomper.
>You contribute your harnessed streams to increase the pattern's potential.
>Small globes of blue and orange light appear and dart upward like fireflies.
>Creating an ominous shadow, a wide leafy limb falls from above!
>The limb slams heavily into a zombie stomper, knocking it completely out!
You also see "flavor" in See the Wind.
>As a growing amphibian sense washes over you, pale glowing lines appear before your eyes, delineating the ever-shifting currents of the wind.
The angry head thing works for my character. I've never really seen Jalika as amphibianesque but at least that doesn't show to other players.

Scouting
Automapper and scripts are faster than the majority of trails. I only take 2 trails in game - The one from Hib to shard west gate to avoid the ice patches, and the one from outside Gryphons to north of Langenfirth to avoid the rope bridge. The only reason (outside exp) to take a trail would be if it gives some kind of benefit. These shortcuts are often much longer, especially if you have wounds or burden.

Ranger "Bonus"
I often make the decision not to participate in something because it will penalize my skills and take time to fix them. THis might be attending an auction, visiting triage at temple or empaths, a group of friends chatting at a market table, etc. MON helps, but has limited duration and you need to be back in a wild spot to re-cast.

Companions
Once you have them at fully grown, there isn't much reason to keep them around (except RP). It only then continues to age them, bringing them to senile if you're lucky enough to have not lost them by then. I only bring my wolf out when I want to deliver a package. Raccoons weren't too bad with the corn and long term food storage. Maybe dried jerky meat that doest' spoil would make it simpler. But fear of losing hours of "growing" your companion because you went into the crossing bank and forgot to send them away, or took a trail, or accidentally smelled the wrong meat and instantly poisoned them to death gets old after a while.

Beseeches
Beseech the Sun to Dry - Bit of a party trick. Doest' have same quality for alchemy as pyramid, takes a long time per item. Would rather bulk dry. Okay for popcorn I guess.
Beseech Elanthia to Imbue - Only useful for trail rock?
Beseech the Wind to Clean - Practical, although janitor and compost duplicate.
Beseech Elanthia to Cradle - This is actually cool. Not sure if it gets utilized enough.
Beseech the Wind to Preserve - Not sure anyone uses this. I preserved a flower once.
Beseech Elanthia to Petrify - Hardens armor but adds hindrance. I never hear anyone talk about this. Not its used much.
Beseech the Dark to Sing - This is great, but the stun/collapes when it wears off means I'm more likely to hunt in the dark in an area I'm familiar with than put this beseech up.
Beseech Elanthia to Seal - Mostly useless with the Depart options and raising that is common these days.
Beseech the Water to Solidify - Cool solo, though big RT. Terrible with group mechanics. Your group will walk, but if they have low Athletics, they will get dragged by the river even though they are supposedly walking on top with you. THen you have to move back to their room (with large RT) and walk again, only to have them dragged. Made worse if multiple people with low Athletics.
Beseech the Wind to Refresh - I actually forgot this existing.
Beseech the Wind to Echo - A lot more work than a crystal ring.
Beseech Elanthia to Transfer - Useful! Probably my most used beseech, after I do decide to spend some time in town. If your bonus is too far gone though, you can't boost it up.

Personal Trail Markers
I have these have been pretty well hashed out, but clearing trails is something rangers should excel at, but they will really only be used if they give some kind of advantage. I don't think it has to be huge. Duration could go a long way with this. I don't know if its feasible, but perhaps allowing a trail to bypass a natural barrier if the rangers skill is adequate to cross it.


Crafting Affinity
Someone else mentioned leather as what rangers should be good at. I have always seen Jalika as the archer type and appreciated the old fletching system. Perhaps a ranger only instruction that Tolle (Lang Rather Guildleader who taught hunter's bows) which gives sniping edge? Or an add on (think scope, but something that fits better in Elanthia).



Lack of Advocate
I think this has been the most demoralizing for a while. Haven't seen any real dev outside making sure our magics didn't break during 3.0. Thank you for taking this on!

I second most of what jalika said as for the whys and why not of using our special abilities. I also feel the same about bonus, wish it wouldnt fluctuate as rapidly as it does. Spell messaging never bothered me my branch break makes me look like a super saiyan and thats cool. I would be happy to see more advocacy and companion development. There are many good things we already have but don't use enough bc they are a little restricted.

Overall Im still pretty happy playing my ranger over other guilds tbh.

-Charlize

I ditto those messages.

Scouting - Training scouting skill using "hunt" should, in my mind, keep up with perception training -or- scouting training should increase from running trails. Or both, even.

Companions - Is the wolf companion quest even working? Is it checking outdoorsmanship skill instead of animal husbandry? I've just begun my quest to find a wolf companion and haven't had luck so far, but maybe I'm doing something wrong? Has anyone gotten a wolf since 3.0? But agree - no reason to have a wolf/raccoon other than RP at this point.

Magic - I like our spells, but I just don't think we've got a reason WHY we have magic, how it works. The earlier discussion on the shaman versus Aragorn is a good discussion. I don't think I have a preference, though I like the idea of having a connection to living spirits in nature, I just want it developed.

Trails - I haven't done the math on these, I just know that it's quicker for me to run a travel script than to take a ranger trail, which I think defeats the purpose. Question - are there any trails that bypass the gondola? Because I feel like there should be. There should/could also be trails that travel from Boar Clan to Siksraja given their proximity on the map.

I'll try to come back when I have more time and can log in and test some things.

>The See the Wind flavoring is tied to a value on your character similar to the PIN. The last value, iirc.
>As for the other messaging, what would be more ideal for most Rangers?
I think the different animals are fine. And I think some of the BB messaging is fine to, I think the larger issue is they are being assigned to us as opposed to us having a choice in defining our characters traits/styles, especially the ones visible to other players.

>// Scouting
>Heard on scripts/automapper being faster. I think when the ferries and such were adjusted down, Ranger trails were not looked into. What other things slow the trails down besides wounds?
I believe its wounds, burden, skill (and if so, bonus tied to that?), and wounds/burden of any group members you have. I know if your bonus (or skill) is low enough you can't see the trail at all.

>// Ranger Bonus
>Ideally, is it just that MON needs to have a longer duration, or that the drain of bonus needs to be slower to facilitate event participation for Rangers?
Personally I'd like MON being longer, though I don't know that everyone would feel same. If drain of bonus is going to be slower, I'd assume that regaining bonus will also be slower and I don't think those without BESEECH TRANSFER are going to want to sit around for longer after getting into the mooing like a cow stage.


>//Compaions
>Would it be ideal for companions to not age / die?
I like that they are real creatures, and not just a familiars. Death shouldn't happen accidentally so easily though.
>Would it be ideal for rotten meat to change it's TAP when it's gone bad so you can more easily identify it?
Yes.
>If we were able to make "meat lockers" more available in lower than auction-quality capacity, would this make it easier and more desirable to utilize the current companion system?
Not sure what auction capacity is. I have one of the boxes that cools them, so it slows the spoiling but not enough for it to be worth keeping up with (for me personally). But yes, if we could freeze them in low capacities, I'd think that's helpful.
>What are all the ways you can currently lose a companion?
Things I've heard - going into "bad" rooms like the crossing bank. Taking a ranger trail. Not knowing what rooms might be bad basically means we would all signal them to leave, move to our new location, and then call them out again for fear or coming across something that might just make them disappear. I've seen wolves sent out to find someone and whimpering. Not sure if they can get lost on missions but that always terrified me to. I think its been difficult to pin down exactly what the issue is until you whistle and suddenly realize you don't have a companion. And of course, spoiled meat insta death.

I think it would be cool if instead of a companion dying from you going to the wrong room, or poisoning them, or you look at them funny, they instead "abandon" you because of a lack of trust. Can get them back either by passage of time or miniquest at the same stage of their growth. (This being a bandaid, and not the full rewrite I believe companions actually need).


>// Beseeches
>Sun to Dry - Probably a consequence of the changing systems and should be updated to be more ideal.
Cool!

>Elanthia to Imbue - Are there other uses that could be identified?
Maybe this beseech "slot" could just get overhauled into something useful. Do we really need to magic zen our rock to be able to mark a trail?

>Wind to Clean - What other potential uses could be worked into this?
Maybe a short duration fatigue boost ala zephyr?

>Elanthia to Cradle - What does this do and why is it not being used anymore?
Staunches blood flow but knocks you to the ground. Allows you to regain vitality before breaking the vines and running for help again. BUG - CS will bring you up to your feet while cradled. I think most people don't use it because most people don't use beseeches in general. I know I personally usually forget they exist, which is sad since its our cool rangerly thing. Plus with the plethora of empaths you can usually get there pretty quick before you bleed out. It has saved my life a few times though.

> beseech elanthia to cradle

You feel your spirit weaken.

>Wind to Preserve - What's the primary function? Was this an older alchemy system use that's not needed now?
It can preserve flowers in a pseudo frozen state. No one does this because how many flowers need preserving, and isn't that what flower preservation potions are for? It also slows meat decay, but again no one uses companions (Well, one ranger does but she's been through dozens of wolves. Sorry, Zinaca)

>Elanthia to Petrify - How much hindrance is gained? Can the hindrance be lowered in any way?
I wear the nightmare leathers plus a bunch of metal pieces, so presumably this is only effecting the hindrance
My normal hinderance - But considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently fairly (5/14) hindered and your stealth is lightly (4/14) hindered.
After petrify - But considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently somewhat (6/14) hindered and your stealth is lightly (4/14) hindered.
I'm unaware of a method of lowering the overall hindrance added by petrify, except general armor ranks training down hindrance.

>Dark to Sing - What's the stun/collapse like? How long?
I had remembered this worse than it is. 4 sec Rt, thrown to ground. I think its the thrown to ground in combat part I wanted to avoid like the plague.

>Water to Solidify - If the Ranger has low Athletics, does the water also drag them? Should solid water work for non-Rangers in the Ranger's group?
This is the messaging when the "Bridge" forms.
>The water ripples in overlapping circles as the shells of small turtles rise from the depths, creating a small path over the water on the safety of their backs.
I like the idea it works for a rangers group because its our version of water trailblazing.
You step lightly upon the footings appearing suddenly before you.
Roundtime: 7 sec.
You stride west, leading your group.
Its annoying that before I'm even out of RT from the walk, someone in my group gets dragged. Then I go back a room (with walk RT) and then forward again. This just gets multiplied if you have multiple people who get dragged. I've found it faster to simply drag a person through the water instead of using the beseech. Crossing the Faldesu to Haven I've even gone back and dragged a second person faster than the beseech would have allowed. I don't know about the low athletics being dragged. I don't think so, because I've used it to walk into the "death" area of the Jantspyre a long time ago and never got dragged down, but can't say for sure.

>Wind to Refresh - What does it do?
Vitality restoration with RT and throwing you again to the ground. (I'm noticing a trend now)

>Wind to Echo - Presuming this is a low-grade private messaging system that's one way, what would be a good way to expand it and make it useful? Is the cost too high? Does it take too long? How's the cooldown?
Yes, you beseech to a particular person and while its active are able to beseech echo messages to them. Wiki says its in k gweth range, though I'd assume that's before the gweth range changes. I tried with 31 align and 60 align, both of which gave me just over a minute of echo time. No cool down between being able to beseech again, though the spirit health will be the limiting factor on aligning. I'd say the cost isn't high, since we don't use spirit health for much but the duration doesn't make it worth it. Maybe only useful for those without gweths/crystal rings? Kind of like a really crappy Thoughtcast.


Elanthia to Transfer - What does this do and how high is the cost? At what point is your bonus too low?
Transfer boosts your bonus back up. I think always to full if successful? I believe the issue with bonus being too low is that you can't successfully ALIGN spirit health when you're out of touch with nature. I don't know when that point is exactly. I was able to beseech with 40 align. 40 is pretty close to all the minimums for beseeches and I don't believe there's one that needs more so I've gotten used to using that as a baseline.

// Personal Trail Markers
This one got sort of touched on in the Wishlist thread, so I think I know enough about the current system to understand this.

>// bonus, wish it wouldnt fluctuate as rapidly as it does
>What's the timing like?
I haven't personally tested. Wiki says over 100 minutes to go from full bonus to full penalty. I've always felt it was something like hour and a half or two hours to recover from rock bottom, so seems right.

>// more advocacy and companion development.
>I'm by no means becoming the Ranger Advocate, but you can consider me an interm one.
Fair enough. I'll agree with Charlize that I enjoy playing my ranger best. Beats my next highest character by 90 circles. Rangers are cool, and would love to see our guild specific abilities become cool again to. Plus, awesome skillset placement.


Jalika

I think the majority of Rangers' woes are due to the fact that most (if not all) Ranger-only systems have not been updated to current development standards since they were created. I honestly think that each system needs to be reevaluated to see how it fits in to the current development environment.

Scouting:
The skill is tedious to train. Trails are pointless in an automapper world/reduced ferry times. They take far, far too long. Skill should reduce the time it takes to run trails down to 5-10 seconds at high skill levels. They need to teach WAY more to make them worthwhile. Other guild skills are on a new experience model that gives you an option to get a huge drop of experience at once, with some kind of timer. I think Scouting needs a similar update. It really doesn't make sense to run a trail back and forth and back and forth for the pittance of experience they offer. We need better options.

I also think the skill must be renamed for the guild to really have a coherent development plan moving forward. Scouting doesn't make sense for any other applications other than trails. This is extremely limiting.

Beseeches:
I've literally only used each one once, to see how it worked, except for Transfer which I might use when I remember that I have it, but because you can't actually use it when you need to use it (when you're out of bonus), it is also rather limited in use. The system has not been touched in years and years, and with all the changes the game has been through, every piece of the system needs to be reconsidered. Most of the utility of beseeches has been completely eliminated by newer systems. The fact that it uses actual spirit health is seriously outdated. Beseeches should be the way that Rangers express their "Ranger-ness."

Bonus:
As others have mentioned, the Ranger bonus is overly restrictive and punitive. There really needs to be some kind of happy medium wherein Rangers can participate in events, spend a bit of time out of the wilderness, but not totally tank their bonus. MON needs to be given steroids. I think like Thieves' Confidence, we should be able to train Charisma to a point where our bonus is somewhat preserved, even when we've "been bad." The system needs to be updated to fall in line with current development standards.

GENT

You inhale deeply, a resounding howl breaking forth from within you, resonating strongly into the distance as if to announce your mastery of the wilds!
You howl strongly, like that of a wolf calling its kin to assemble for a hunt. The sound echoes commandingly through the area.
You inhale and howl strongly, the cacophonous sounds reverberating around you.
You howl like a wolf calling the pack!
You open your mouth and throw back your head, howling with a tentative but fairly resonant tone that wavers only slightly.
You take in a deep breath air and howl softly.
You howl meekly, unsure of yourself.
You take in a deep breath to howl, but it comes out as a whimper, like a lost wolf looking for his pack.
You howl quietly to yourself, echoing a soft, desolate sound that doesn't sound quite right.
You take in a deep breath to howl, but it comes out as a whimper, like a lost wolf looking for his pack. (This message appeared again, possibly a bug.)
You take in a deep breath to howl loudly, but instead cough and choke on the air around you.
You open your mouth to howl, but you merely sigh like the softest wind through the trees. Sadly, not even a leaf flutters with your "mighty" breath.
You open your mouth and roar with everything you've got! A few soft sounds reminiscent of a baby robin's first song twitter sweetly from within you.
You give forth a mighty... yelp, which sounds more like a domesticated puppy than anything else.
You open your mouth to howl, but it sounds more like a dying chicken than anything else.
You take in a deep breath to howl, and let loose with a mighty... Moo?! The sounds that erupt from within you sound startlingly like the loud bleating of a young heifer giving birth to her first calf.

Jalika's hit most everything on the head. I completely agree.

One thing she's missed is that there's not a trail to bypass the gondola, of if there is I'm not aware of it.

Bluefalcon

Sorry that I'm late with this post, but my new computer has been sent to shop, so I've been without a computer for a week. I'm currently using an old computer.

The thing that frustrates me most as a ranger is that it seems that the amount of time I spend in a city very quickly reduces my conection to nature, but when I get back to nature I very slowly seem to regain that connection. I wish they were on an even keel.

>Because climbing under the gondola isn't rangerly at all.

Not the point. I can bring friends on trails. Sometimes those trails already skip certain athletics checks so that bringing the friend along with lower athletics who can't make that climb/swim normally doesn't have to wait for a ferry. Even if the scouting ability had to be equivalent to the current athletics check for the undergondola shortcut, there is still a benefit to having a trail. It'd be great even if we could just have a path to circumvent the long, head bleeder shortcut.

// Check Bonus without sounding like a barn
I can get behind that. Might be better in the wishlist thread, but it's still noted, so no need to double post.

// Loss vs Gain of Bonus
I get the feeling that looking into this one is going to lead me to many dead ends as looking into MON did yesterday, but noted all the same.

//not a trail to bypass the gondola
It's a giant chasm. There's a way to climb and bypass it, currently.


//The ranger guild tent in Haven is actually neutral
That seems incorrect. Can you please submit a room bug while standing in that room in game?

//There is no way to regain bonus except to wait it out.
How much do you gain from Beseech to Transfer?
Is the 6-8 cooldown minutes or hours?
What kind of CURRENT things SHOULD help regain bonus? Ie, nothing that requires a NEW system.


//Memory of Nature appears to barely do anything, even at an 80 mana cas
Testing with Saracus, I found that it works like this:

1. On cast, you must be in a wilderness room. The more wild, the better.
->>If you "max" the spell, you get an extra bump. The extra bump translates by adjusting an enviro TWO levels closer to wilderness.
->>If you do not max the spell, you get a normal bump. This translates by adjusting an enviro ONE level closer to wilderness.
--->Neither of these bumps seem to work in HIGHLY urban rooms and are more ideal for "neutral" rooms.

What I'm hearing is, ideally, MON should work in any room because you are "carrying a piece of wilderness" with you that permeates the area around you and should last longer. Am I hitting this correctly?

// companions for everyone
Companions are Ranger only and I don't intend on ever being a part creating a system that opens them to non-Rangers.


//more guild clarity or division
Specific to lore or what?

Snipe mechanics in general could use a look-over IMO. This isn't a thing that's unique to Rangers since that's just a survival prime Thing, but I'll throw that out there.

>How much do you gain from Beseech to Transfer?
>Is the 6-8 cooldown minutes or hours?
I've always found Transfer to boost me way back up, though again, you're not able to use it from rock bottom so not sure if it automatically brings you to max or that's been my experience. Per wiki, 6-8 hours IRL.

>What kind of CURRENT things SHOULD help regain bonus? Ie, nothing that requires a NEW system.
I'd agree that "rangerly" survival should maybe give small boosts. Swimming, climbing, foraging.


>What I'm hearing is, ideally, MON should work in any room because you are "carrying a piece of wilderness" with you that permeates the area around you and should last longer. Am I hitting this correctly?
Would be great if you could cast MON to bring nature to where you are, even if you are in an urban room. A re-up while participating in an event without having to leave. I think a duration boost OR being able to cast anywhere would be good, since either would really have the same result (I'm learning towards re-cast, since you could just keep going, even though eventually your bonus would be overcome by the evils of urban rooms). I dislike that it doesn't give any boost in highly urban areas. What's the point then?
