Ranger Epic 1.5 walk through

[Dynne]

Ok to even start this quest you must be level 60 and have at least swiftwind completed or the alternate quest done.

Step 1:

Go talk to Athele in East Karana

Hail Athele then say "what is out of balance"

Ok now you have to go forage "Sickly Maiden's Hair" in Rathe Mountians it is LORE and NO TRADE. This forage can take a while so be patient.

Step 2:

Return to Athele in East Karana and give her the "Sickly Maiden's Hair"

She gives you back "Tuft of Sickly Maiden's Hair" that you must now take to Corun. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROOM FOR A BAG BEFORE GOING TO DO THIS PART. If your lucky like I was and surefalls is your home just use Origin, if not you must make the hike over to surefalls.


Give Corun the "Tuft of Sickly Maiden's Hair"


You now get the "Borrowed Medicine Bag" and "Magical Sample Vial"x6.

Step 3: The joy of foraging in different zones again YAY!

First off go to Dranik Scar and forage 1x "Fallen Tree Branch" and 8x "Golanda Nut"

Second go to Nedaria's Landing and forage up 1x "Pine Sap"

Third the long run to Dragon Necropolis and kill Phase Spiders for 4x " Phase Spider Silk"

Ok now for the fun combines you will need the following items "Whittling Knife" and "Smithing Hammer"

OK all your combines are in a "Fletching Kit"

first off combine "Golanda Nut" and "Smithing Hammer" in "Fletching Kit" to make "Fibrous Rope"

next take the 8x "Fibrous Rope" and combine them in "Fletching Kit" this makes your "Eight-loop Lasso".

Now take your 4x "Phase Spider Silk" and combine them in "Fletching Kit" this will give you "Phase Netting". now take "Whittling Knife" and "Fallen Tree Branch" and combine them in "Fletching Kit" to get "Long Net Pole". Combine "Phase Netting" and "Long Net Pole" in "Fletching Kit" and recieve you "Large Butterfly net".

Step 4: Animal Trapping

Ok a word to the wise equip the correct weapon before engaging the mob and make sure not to have any damage shields on this could bug the process of capturing you animal.

First Animal - "a bloated drogan spider" he is located in Droga use the "Eight-loop Lasso" to capture this poor spider. Once captured you recieve a "Captured Spider"

Second Animal - "a leperous chokidai" he is located in Chardok B use the "Eight-loop Lasso" to capture him. Once captured you recieve a "Captured Chokidai".

Third Animal - "a sickly mosquito" he is located in Cazic Thule use the "Large Butterfly Net" to capture him. Once captured you recieve a "Captured Mosquito".

Fourth Animal - "a twitching swordfish" he is located in Siren's Grotto use the "Large Butterfly Net" to capture him. Once captured you recieve a " Captured Swordfish"

NOW you need to KILL 2 MOBS

Since your probably still in Siren's Grotto head to Western Wastes with approximately 1 group depending on how well geared you are. Neurologic Huntress is the mob you are looking for.This mob hits for 600ish and is snareable, rootable, and slowable. Once dead loot up the "Neuralgic Wyvern Blood".

Next move on to Veksar. You are looking for "Asteatotic Highborn" take 1 group of people it makes clearing to his area soo much more easier. This mob hits for 500ish, it is snareable, rootable, and slowable also. ONce dead loot up the "Asteatotic Veksar Blood".

OK NOW FOR THE FUN PART: take the 4 Captured animals and combine each of them separately with 1x"Magical Sample Vial".

NEXT : take all 6 bloods you now have and combine them together in "Borrowed Medicine Bag". This will result in you getting " Full Medicine Bag" give this item to Corun in Surefalls.z Corun will give you "Corun's Notes".

Take the "Corun's Notes" to Shana Liskia in West Freeport ( she is the Enchanter Guild Master). When you get to Shana say " what diseases of the mind" then hand her the notes and you will recieve "Coruns Notes-annotated".

Step 5: To the Deep we go.

Head to the Deep with a group once there go left at the first interesection, then right at the next one and finally left again at the next intersection. When you get near the end of the tunnel you trigger "an ancient thought horror" to pop he hits for 650ish and can be slowed. Once this mob is dead loot the "Thick Spinal Fluid".

Back to West Freeport we go to see Shana again this time hand her both the "Thick Spinal Fluid" and "Coruns Notes-annotated". She will give you "Mind Crystal".

It's off to East Karana AGAIN YAY!. This time you are going to talk to Tholris( he is beside Athele). Keep saying the phrase "disease" to Tholris till you get "Violet Crystal" and "Red Crystal".

OK BACK TO WEST FREEPORT AGAIN!!!
go back to Shana and give here both the "Violet Crystal" and the "Red Crystal". She will then give you "Letter to Corun".

BACK TO THE GLADE
head back to surefalls and give Corun the "Mind Crystal" and "Letter to Corun". He will give you "Red Dogwood Seed".

FINALLY TIME FOR THE RAID EVENTS!!!!


Our first stop on this fun adventure is The Bloodfields. Marshall Histient is the target.

Marshall Histient hits for 1100ish and is slowable. he has a 1500pt dd called Spirit Rend. Adds do pop during this event but are mezzable.

An Eager Student hits for 1000ish and mezzable there are 2 of these.

Grinbik the Fertile - DO NOT KILL THIS MOB OR YOU FUBAR THE EVENT. OFF tank him while you kill all the other mobs then have the ranger doing this event melee him down to about 15% then slowly drop him to 5%ish or until he deaggros at that point ranger hails the mob till it gives him "Grinbik's Blessing".

TO NATIMBI WE WILL GO.
ok this event is sorta like the last one kill some mobs and keep one alive.

Ok so first off after spawning the event pull the "a bound earth spirit" and "a bound fire spirit" they arent linked to the boss.

Next is the boss and like the last event over time adds do pop.

Spiritbinder Trenzar - boss mob and kill him. hits for 2050ish and isnt slowable. he has a 1500dd ae to called Wave of Flame.

Senvial will spawn during the event off tank him BUT DO NOT KILL HIM. same deal with last event ranger dps's him down to 15%ish then slowly dps's him down to around 5% or to where he will deaggro and then ranger hails him until they get "Senvial's Blessing".

Now its off to Jaggedpine Forest go to location 1386, 968 and look for a ground spawn. The item is called "Fertile Earth"(it is a container). Combine "Red Dogwood Seed", "Senvials Blessing", and "Grinbiks Blessing" in the "Fertile Earth". MAKE SURE TO DO THIS COMBINE AT THE SPOT WHERE YOU PICKED UP THE FERTILE EARTH. WATCH AND ENJOY THE SHOW.

After the nice show you get "Red Dogwood Heartwood" and "Spring Dogwood Seed".

Step 6: BACK TO THE GLADE AGAIN
go back to surefalls and give Corun the "Spring Dogwood Seed" and he will give you "Block of Purest Silver".

Step 7: THE BIG FINAL
take your "Red Dogwood Heartwood", and your "Block of Purest Silver" plus a "Fletching Kit" with you and gather a raid force then head to Ruined
City of Dranik.

Once there you head into the building near warrior epic mob and one of the rooms once you get close will spawn Svenril Fireskin.

OK this event is similar to the last ones you have done KILL Svenril Fireskin while enchanters mezz any adds that pop. Kill the adds then have your ranger DPS Uisima Lord of the Depths to about 15% then slowly dps him down to 5% or until he goes non aggro then hail him till you recieve "Wind-blessed Heartwood".


Step 8: Congratulations on EPIC 1.5

take your "Wind-blessed Heartwood" and your "Block of Purest Silver" and combine them in your "Fletching Kit" THIS IS A NO FAIL COMBINE AND GIVES YOU YOUR EPIC.

Just made this list for my own pleasure. Now I go find all these things and then I only got one thing left - talking and handing in

EDIT: What does it mean to capture? I mean, how can I capture it?

[Poote]

[Ladwenae]

Will try to answer what Poote allready did above /blush

Capture means that you only use the weapons you made for that.
no nukes, no dmg shield ( click off DS spells ), no kick etc.
when they are low hps you should get a soandso was captured.

[Hatteras]

Any dmg reports for Svenril Fireskin?
I would like to be able to share this info so my last fight as well as future Ranger's last fight can have their Raid Force as prepared as possible.
I know my team will be minimum 3 Time/GoD gear groups.

[flying_banana]

I read somewhere that there was kind of a way to exploit-win the Spiritbender fight... completed with only one group. I can't find it now, but I'll say how I think it is supposed to go.

Spawn the spiritbender but don't engage for ten minutes. Once ten minutes have passed, engange the spiritbender and fight until the the epic guy spawns. Once your guy spawns, you succor immediately. Ten minutes later, spiritbender should despawn (not sure if adds do to or not) and then you are free to get the spirit down to 5%.

It said that strat had only successfully worked once, doubt many have tried though. Really wish I could find what was actually posted so you weren't left with this half-assed strat. If it is possible, sure would be handy for those non-raiders like myself.

I heard about that strategy as well, think it was on eqrangers. It didn't work back when I tried it. One thing to note about that fight is everything is leashed to the platform.

Id like to point out the loc for the Fertile Earth is half incorrect in the original post. The second loc number is negative. It had me searching longer then I wanted to be.

[Siega]

Advice about the captures:

Make sure to carry the medicin bag too. It helps pop and if multiple rangers it seems only those carrying the bag gets the capture.
