Solo Forest farm at FoW,
by Genesis Sylvoxe

Hi all, this is my first guide. With this build you can farm as a Ranger/Mesmer at the ‘’Forest’’ in FoW (Fissure of Woe).

WEAPONS
First, you will need a few bows.

Bow 1:
Sundering Flatbow of Fortitude (can use Dragos Flatbow)
Dmg. +15% while health is above 50%
20/20 armor penetration
+30 health
This HAS to be a FLATBOW. Because, the of all kinds of bows, flatbow is the one which can shoot the most far. With this flatbow you keep out of the spell-range of monsters.

Bow 2:
The –2 Stance Longbow
13-25 req. 6
+10% in a stance
-2 in a stance
this bow will help you on preventing damage.
NOTE:
You can’t find these bows. You get it from the blankets for the settlers quest. Get yourself some good bowstring and place it on the bow. (E.G, use a fortitude +30).

SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES
Attributes:
Inspiration Magic: 8
Wilderness Survival: 12 (11+1)
Expertise: 11 (10+1)
Markmanship: 9 (8+1)

Skills:
1. Kindle Arrows (Wilderness Survival)
2. Poison Arrow (Wilderness Survival)
3. Savage Shot (Markmanship)
4. Dodge (Expertise)
5. Storm Chaser (Wilderness Survival)
6. Troll Unguent (Wilderness Survival)
7. Mantra of Lightning (Inspiration Magic)
8. Physical Resistance (Inspiration Magic)



How to work:
Take a Chestrun-group, TELL THEM YOU ARE A FARMER, so you don’t get a fight about the farmer/runner thing. When you are at the forest, say your runners bye and wish them good luck.
Your key-skill is Poison Arrow. Use this skill on all monsers you find.

Monsters:
Spirit Shepherds - use Mantra of Lightning and ur FLATBOW so u keep out of their nasty Lightning attacks.
Rockborerer worms - use Physical Resistance bow doesnt really matter, they die easily.
Spirit woods - keep Troll Unguent on, interrupt theirs with Savage shot
Armored Cave Spiders – WATCH OUT! These beasts are nasty and they fall out of the sky. Interupt their healing spring and kill them ONE BY ONE!
Skeletons – DO NOT ATTACK THESE! Just run by them using Dodge.

I hope you enjoyed my build. Watch out for patrols and ‘hell’ spawns. Good luck and find some obsidian shards!

no.. Flatbow can shoot as far as the longbow.
to make of for this it has bad accuracy.

ok, to make it all clear for you, i'll quote something from guildwiki:

QUOTE

Weapon  Refire Rate  Range1  Flight Time2  Arc Size  Special Feature
Longbow  2.4 seconds  1.6  0.59 seconds  Normal  None
Flatbow  2.0 seconds  1.6  0.88 seconds  Large  None
Horn Bow  2.7 seconds  1.4  0.59 seconds  Normal  10% Armor penetration
Recurve Bow  2.4 seconds  1.4  0.40 seconds  Small  None
Short Bow  2.0 seconds  1.05  0.59 seconds  Normal  None


now STOP saying stuff that aint true!

btw, nice ranger-farming guide thou.

Longbow Refire 2.4 Flatbow2.0 hahhaah In ur Face and flat has a bigger arch size thus alowing you to ummmm...... do sumthing that looks bigger Muhahahh SO STOP SAYING STUFF THATS ALMOST RIGHT

The larger arch size isn't good, the less the arc, the more accurate the arrow.

Longbows have a longer refire, but are more accurate.
Flatbows have a shorter refire, but are less accurate.

So, there are advantages/disadvantages to both. This is called balance.

Would you please think about things before you insult another person?

  cswella on 06/30/06 06:47

Nice guide. :)

  Eddepet on 06/30/06 07:12

Because the enemies don't run away when you are attacking them, the refire rate is more important than the accuracy.

Nice guide, I tried this and really worked, I managed to clear the whole forest :D

  Silver Genesis on 06/30/06 09:03

ty all for comments, btw, its both 1.6, so I don't get ur comment, Yidd

  Duke Terrien on 06/30/06 11:15

This is the EXACT replica of someone else's guide.

no it isn't and good guide but i prefer not using mantra of lighting if i listen to you you say that with the flatbow you get out of there range of there lighting attacks so why use mantra of lighting? i prefer takin with me healing spring if i got my dodge on

the normal attacks of the shepards are also lightning dmg, so you still get +2 energy for each attack hitting you

  Silver Genesis on 06/30/06 13:48

to Duke: I didn't knew that, sorry for the one who made it..

to tristanb: thnx for comment, but they still attack u (to lower damage use Mantra), and they can interupt ur healing spring.

So I prefer Lightning and keep Troll on. but everyone his own prefers.

  Blackmane_of_Fenris on 06/30/06 21:35

To Cswella: I dont think what silver genesis wrote was ment to insult... it was more of a joke. I may be wrong though.

  The Soysauceman on 07/01/06 00:46

Only 1 skill different from other r/me forest solo.

  eiirish on 07/01/06 17:08

This is exact same build as i learned fromThis post

  Rork_The_Relentless on 07/02/06 03:26

  tristanb on 07/02/06 14:30
