[Spoiler] Ranger Quest

[Kaga]

<DIV>When you get to level 18 (I think it works at 18, I did not get the hallmark till 19, but heard you can do it at 1<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, you are told to find Aryell Silvertongue, the little halfling at hte docks in Qeynos Harbor. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>He asks you to go to black burrow, and 'search for clues'. What you need to do is go to blackburrow and find the brewery, sneak around there till you see the half elf messenger take off, and your quest updates, remember HUNT AND SNEAK STACK, for extra hiddenism. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then when you go back to him, he asks you to go to a meeting and get some information in SQ. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When you go to SQ, from QH, follow the southern most road (the one that leads to NQ). As soon as you pass the shield shop, turn right between the buildings, and the door on the left is the one you need. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Head into the door with both hunt and sneak on(I forget the order, but if you do one before the other, it overrides, so if it overrides keep trying till it stacks). Go between the two guards on the first floor, and then turn left into the basement. You will go past 2 gnoll bodyguards, and be in another room with a wandering gnoll, wait in that room, and kill this gnoll. Proceed through teh door and you will see a Dark Elf informant sitting there. Kill this informant (blue to level 19, bard), and get the information you need, head back to Ayrell Silvertongue, and get your bow, and the ability to be ranger at level 20. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Reward: Ranger bow, 19% xp. </DIV>

when i went into the basement, the 2 gnoll bodyguards attacked me. fortunately, i sprinted and zoned. how can i prevent this?

[pseudocide]

they didnt attack me, so maybe you just need a higher level of sneak or hunt, its a shame they dont stack anymore (SOE: we want fast sneak!)

[ginathepumpk]

<DIV>I had adept1 hunt @ 18 and they didnt see me, maybe you need a higher level of ability if you want to do the quest early?</DIV>

[Kaga]

<DIV>Lots of people don't realize, hunt, is the upgrade to sneak. I only use sneak on the rare occaison I use shadow lunge to start a fight, stacking it with hunt. </DIV>

[Matathi]

ya im gonna wait till lvl 19 for this part

[NightFalc]

<DIV>can someone post the stats for the bow?</DIV>

[toastedwy]

<DIV>dumb question... where in black burrow is the brewery ? i've been sneakin around and haven't seen no drk elfs runnin away.. 3 room area right ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-- Brewery in Blackburrow is down where the spider nest is.. swim under water where the waterfall ends & you'll emerge in the brewery !! the elf runs by every few secs..</DIV> <DIV>-- they gave great detail on the 2nd part of this quest. it's just as easy as described above..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can do this at lvl 18 easliy. i used Hunt Ap2 and sneak Ap3 and had no trouble at all..</DIV><p>Message Edited by toastedwyrm on <span class=date_text>11-21-2004</span> <span class=time_text>01:23 AM</span>

took me a while to find it. go in the back entrance and make a left as soon as you can and you will see it. back entrance is on the islands in the most South East part of antonica

[Zomax4]

The coords to the Back entrance are -1100 , 1100 Its and underwater entrance, so you have to swim into the cave portion then enter BB. Once in you cannot go but 10 feet and you get the quest check.

<DIV>Spoiler or maybe not?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Whats the deal with the secret door in the first room to the second part of the quest? Its got a chest blocking it and there seems to be stuff behind but I searched the entire place several times after finishing and couldn't see any way of getting in there. Is it just to show they have weapons stashed away?</DIV>

[Loli]

<DIV>I did fine with just the simple Hunt App1, no sneak, just Hunt.</DIV> <DIV>Was level 19, had XP into 20 though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Stats on bow:</DIV> <DIV>Skill Required: 95 -120</DIV> <DIV>Slot: Ranged</DIV> <DIV>Damage: 9 - 45</DIV> <DIV>Delay: 4</DIV> <DIV>Range: 27</DIV> <DIV>Weight: 3</DIV> <DIV>Modifiers: Health +9, Agility +3, Power +5, Strength +2</DIV> <DIV>LORE, NO TRADE</DIV><p>Message Edited by Lolien on <span class=date_text>11-22-2004</span> <span class=time_text>07:25 AM</span>

I too was wondering about the hidden room. Tried for a while to see if there was anything to do with it. But alas... Found nothing. Seems a waste to put that much effort into building the room with n interactive door and not having anything to do with quest...Ah well... Such is life.

[Gurn]

<DIV>Ta for the spoiler Kagara, worked wonders!</DIV>

[norcal]

thanks for all the help guys i am doin the quest right now and i was havin some trouble. Thanks!

[Trelixas]

<DIV>Confirmed - </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>App2 Hunt and Adept 1 Sneak will make it past the guards at 18. The two kills in the basement are easy.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Trelixas on <span class=date_text>11-24-2004</span> <span class=time_text>05:31 AM</span>

Hunt app1, no sneak, level 19, nothing in the place aggroed me.

[Lothol]

<DIV>just wanted to say thank you for the great write up. I easily got my subclass quest finished yesterday. Now I just need to hurry up and ding 20 =)</DIV>

[Dieg]

At 18 with app 1 in hunt I was unable to pass through the guards. Hunt app3 wasn't on the Broker so I purchased app2 from the merchant. Worked fine.Thanks for the write up. It helped a bunch.<p>Message Edited by Dieguy on <span class=date_text>11-27-2004</span> <span class=time_text>08:05 AM</span>

[JeffN21]

<DIV>Also, the Guards are orange to a lvl 18</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Dzenes]

<DIV>Wish Everyone read this I would stop gettin Tells on how to do it LoL</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Zejen</DIV>

[chaosbu]

<DIV>ummm... maybe you all should try alt+r (turns run off) and see what happens when in stealth mode...  thats how i got my first Predator mark with app1 sneak.  couldn't have gotten it done with app1 any other way, maybe its the same for ranger class.  dunno haven't made it yet.</DIV>

[Shoenasty]

<DIV>I used adept 1 Hunt and made it past everything in there except the wandering patrolmen up on top floor and one lvl 25 bored guard behind a door on second floor,  and I was lvl 18 at the time.  I was able to get past the lvl 25 bored guard using the lvl 18 trait that puts you into a hide mode,  can't remember name but think it may be called "Stealth".  It only lasts like 1 minute or so but you can stack it with Hunt adept 1 and get past just about anything that would be aggro even with Hunt adept 1 on.  Pretty awesome skill I think.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The quest bow is pretty nice,  except I don't like that the range is 10m less than the easy Gregor's Old Bow quest that you can do at lvl 7 or 8ish.  I think this bow should have a much higher range on it than that,  just my opinion.</DIV>

[MillsFairchild]

They did not see me at level 18 with Hunt(App2) and Sneak(App2). Piece of cake.

[bli]

<DIV>If you wait till level 19 you can do this with Hunt App I and don't have to worry about upgrading it for a while (like, till level 22 when it starts to go whiteish)</DIV>

[Gareorn]

<DIV>One small warning...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Down at the brewery in Black Burrow there is a door that exits to Antonica.  DO NOT exit through this door.  It leads to a cave that is full, I died to fast to tell what kind, of mobs that see through sneak and hunt.  I died before I could turn around and zone back out.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>While attempting to recover my shard, I found the entrance to the cave through a long underwater tunnel.  Looks like I might have to eat this death because if i stick my head up out of the water, I'll surely have another death to deal with.  I should have just Called to Q once I was done.  The exit seems to be a safe place away from roaming mobs to cast Call to Q.  Save some time and exp debt, don't pass through that door.</DIV>
