Hey all this is my second guide so I am still a little rusty at making them so feedback is appreciated. I got the idea for this build from the MM and hero Arkjok ward farming build its not as effective as the MM build but it’s a different approach and something new to try with your ranger. This purpose of this build is to be able to farm Arkjok Ward with hench or hero healer’s for either money or sunspear promotion points

items:
any max armour with any rune of vigor
max damage weapon I use endgame factions Ironwing longbow

Attributes:

you dont have to stick to these attributes you can change and edit them where you see fit but they are a rough guide to base them around.

Party:
the build works with a protection hero and healer hero or healer hench and monk hero with any build

1.) Power Shot:
Bow Attack. If Power Shot hits, you strike for +10...22 damage.

2.) Troll unguent:
Skill. For 10 seconds, you gain +3...9 Health regeneration.

3.) Barrage:
All your Preparations are removed. Shoot arrows at up to 6 foes adjacent to your target. These arrows strike for +1...13 damage if they hit.

4.) Distracting Shot:
Bow Attack. If Distracting Shot hits, it interrupts target foe's action but deals only 1...13 damage. If the interrupted action was a skill, that skill is disabled for an additional 20 seconds.

5.) Savage Shot:
Bow Attack. If Savage Shot hits, your target's action is interrupted. If that action was a spell, you strike for +13...25 damage.

6.) Lightning Reflexes:
Stance. For 5...10 seconds, you have a 75% chance to "block" melee and projectile attacks, and you attack 33% faster.

7.) Vigorous spirit:
Enchantment Spell. For 30 seconds, each time target ally attacks or casts a Spell, that ally is healed for 5...17 Health.

8.) Resurrect:
Spell. Resurrect target party member. Target party member is returned to life with
25% Health and zero Energy.



How it works:
You enter Arkjok ward and as soon as you appear you should see on your radar a couple of groups of insects.

avoid them and talk to the priest and take the bounty, then lure the group to your left. If there is Veldt Beetle Queen target that first, start spamming it with Barrage and Power shot and when it starts to use healing skills interrupt it, when its dead start on the Bladed Veldt Termite’s. After you have dispatched the left group work your way around the right hand side carefully luring one group away from the others so you don’t get swarmed. Maintain vigorous spirit as much as you can and use lightning reflexes whenever needed, this build is a strain on energy so allow yourself time to regen whenever possible. When all the insects are dead continue working your way around the right hand side and you should see some Mandragors the build works the same way for them except attack the imps first and make sure to interrupt their ravenous gaze skill so they cant heal, then start on the Stoneflesh Mandragor and interupt the Stonflesh aura skill. Once you’ve killed all the insects and mandragor rezone and repeat :D

hope you find this build useful as I said feedback is appreciated

soz to say but this is kind a pointless since there are better builds for this

Stranger of Kryta, this is a good build you have going here. Nice work on your findings.

  Belshazaarswrath on 02/11/07 17:44

It's good and all but there are solo builds that are much quicker. Also with a few slight tweaks I bet you could solo this and do it alot quicker.

  Shock Trooper 0083 on 02/11/07 18:45

this is a solo build....

btw a zealous bowstring+barrage would work wonders with energy.

  supersayaingoku on 02/11/07 18:47

nice build even tho there are faster builds its somethin u can do with your ranger as i like to farm with my ranger as i dont get to play on him much now ive finished all 3 storys with him as i play on my other characters so its nice to go back to my ranger and do some farming with him even just for fun

What was pointless was your comment. I don't think this person took his valuable time to do this so he could impress you. He did to be a productive member of the community and to help others. His reward...someone like you disrespecting him.

It is a nice build and I enjoy finding these and going out and testing them just for fun. Thanks for showing it to us.


  DH0416 on 02/11/07 21:38

P.S I just looked at your profile and noticed you haven't contributed any guides. I would think you wouldn't be quick to negative comment considering that fact.

  mango_monger on 02/11/07 23:17

i use my geo tank to kill them



  Pickletron on 02/11/07 23:55

Interesting way to farm.
As for rogh daxh's comment; Yes, there are better and more efficient builds to farm this area but it's nice to see a Ranger build for it. Also, there was no real need for that comment.
If you have nothing nice or constructive to say, don't say it at all.

as i said in the guide its not quite as effective as other builds but its just something different to do with your ranger

solo it within a minute for a ranger

  Jade Shane on 02/12/07 10:25

lol some people just dont know what to say and when to say it, but I cant give them negative cred. in here, too bad :(

I think it is a pretty good build, good place to start, like wrath said I am sure that it could eventually solo, if you can tweak it out.

  stranger of kryta on 02/12/07 11:00

=D thank you jade and in response to the tweaking thing yes people can tweak it to make the build better but im sure ive said somewhere on this page that people can use this build as a rough guide so they can change things where they think they could be better :)

  anan saman on 02/14/07 01:10

when its a solo build why you have ress?

  stranger of kryta on 02/14/07 10:27

because you do it with 2 hench/hero monks and incase they die? 0.o

  silvershock on 02/14/07 14:26

Great to see people taking time to help others.. however I agree with people that say they r better builds for this. Anywayz, still good job^^

  Deathaxe on 02/15/07 12:32

One question: What do those beasts drop? I used to farm SF solo, but those drops kinda suck.
