Well, as far as skinning and what not go, I think you should be alright in Bristleback peccs in Rossmans. Very ranger friendly, good spawn, etc etc.


They don't drop boxes, tho.



Adan'f warriors/blood mages in shard (the barrows, NOT the ice caves.) will teach decently in those ranks as well. They drop coins, gems, and boxes, AND are skinnable. Just mind the mages, they cast a fairly nasty spell (DO) that'll throw you for a loop if it catches you. Cut ya right in half if they get ya right. BUT at your ranks, you should be fine to dodge it.

Personally, I would go to bristle back peccs until 390-400, then go to basilisk until about 475. Then young gryphons until about 550.

You sure you mean young? I hunted those with 200's in combats... Doesn't seem like they'd teach to over 500 very well.

Dug up my last exp from young gryphons in Shard:

Shield Usage: 481 12% -> (33/34) Leather Armor: 466 08% -> (3/34)
Heavy Chain: 404 69% -> (4/34) Light Plate: 386 39% -> (7/34)
Heavy Plate: 389 57% -> (1/34) Cloth Armor: 404 39% -> (1/34)
Bone Armor: 408 74% -> (9/34) Parry Ability: 475 56% -> (4/34)
Multi Opponent: 446 20% -> (4/34) Short Bow: 254 93% -> (12/34)
Long Bow: 251 40% -> (12/34) Light Thrown: 251 27% -> (25/34)
Brawling: 257 86% -> (20/34) Life Magic: 454 52% -> (25/34)
Harness Ability: 454 80% -> (31/34) Power Perceive: 438 31% -> (8/34)
Arcana: 367 54% -> (10/34) Targeted Magic: 345 60% -> (17/34)
Evasion: 500 24% -> (1/34) Perception: 594 07% -> (1/34)
Scouting: 589 17% -> (1/34) Hiding: 574 52% -> (2/34)
Stalking: 575 91% -> (2/34) Skinning: 441 90% -> (8/34)
Mechanical Lore: 293 29% -> (34/34) Appraisal: 453 64% -> (12/34)

As far as i remember, shield was locking quickly, multi and parry were slow. Evasion was not moving anymore (just a small fraction of a pulse now and then).

>I locked evasion right up to 549 in young gryphons in rossman. I am still locking armor and other stuff. Yep, I meant 550. Seriously though, its like a switch, 549 they teach, 550 they dont. Never hunted gryphons anywhere other then rossman.

Given the rate that they train in the 300's, I couldn't handle milking them that long.
