Earning skill points on a ranger

[ehanks]

Anyone have any successful strategies/farming spots for earning skill points quickly with a ranger? So far my best bet seems to be farming minos in Elona with ReZon's stance tank build. I've tried doing EoE bomb on grawl outside port sledge, but I just haven't been able to make it work consistantly. I used a R/N with mark of pain, but I seem to die before I can make it all work.

So any suggestions would be appreciated. :)

Hmm, try farming stone kirins(search somewhere in this forum about it, by andrewf)

There's about 20 of them in Pongmey Valley, personally I think it's pretty easy and they're lvl 23s..I think I average around 30-40k exp an hour clearing that :)

Last I heard EoE Grawl farming got the nerf stick. It's doable, but alot harder now.

I've been farming trolls in the caves outside droks for exp. Combine that w/ scrolls for good fast bonus exp.

The trolls work very well. 168x12orso= exp gained (its around 2000 without scrolls. and very quick.)

Try my R/E Shockwave Trapper build =) it makes the run a bit faster than normal 4 traps run..

You can always use ReZon's build to farm grawls; they're easy picking and they give more exp than minotaurs. You can also farm ice imps and siege golems with barrage, and yeah someone else mentioned the kirins and undergrowths.

Personally, I like farming kirins and undergrowths because I got bored of all the prophecies farming spots.

I'll second the Kirins and Undergrowths suggestion. They each give 154 exp per kill, and that's with no scroll. Using the Live Vicariously+Vig Spirit+Barrage build decimates them quickly, and I'm sure other builds could do the same.

Kirins travel in groups of 3-5, with 4 being the "norm". Four kirins killed gives you 616 exp. There's usually at least 3 groups in Pongmei Valley, sometimes more, so one quick trip will net 1848 experience or more. At lvl 20, it takes 15k exp to level...so you'll get a skillpoint every 8 runs, tops. Use a scroll, and it goes much quicker.

Personally, I like running a barrager on the jade arena. Just make sure to bring frozen soil.

Normally I would take henchmen to do this (longbow, interupt, archer, myself, illusion, protection, healer spirit), but an 'order' necro could very easily substitute the illusion henchman.

The longbow henchman brings favourable winds, I usually bring winnowing and frozen. Wait for the enemies to get close enough together then run into them turning them hostile and barrage away. Between your barrage and the longbow henchman's barrage you should be doing plenty of damage, the frozen soil keeping them down.

This nets you 3k experience and 400 luxon faction.

Hell, I just get into FoW B/P groups and do the 5000/10000 xp reward quests.Soon stack up the skill points.

grawl bomb nothing gets you exp faster.

5 skillpoints an hour if you know what your doing.
