Master 1s for Rangers - where do they drop?

[Jay]

<DIV>I know a lot of the high-end folk have various Masters under their belts, and I'm hoping you all can share where they dropped or how much they cost with the rest of the class. I've never even SEEN a Master1 on Butcherblock, but I'm not doing a lot of high-end raid content yet either. Anyone?</DIV>

<P>Hey bud if you go to Runneye, and head down towards where all those clay golems are there is a room off to the right with a whole bunch of those boar things.</P> <P>The named Boar in there dropped a Master I Crippling Blade for me.</P> <P>Also there is a named Goblin Muggu (37^^ I think) in EL that can be solo'ed (just make sure you kill the seer in the group first and fast or he'll root you and its game over).  I'm pretty sure thats where I got my Master I Pickoff.</P> <P>A great place is Nek Castle.  At 39 you can solo most of the sisters, which range around 35 to 35^^.  I've seen Master Chests drop off all of them.<BR>Being how their are a bunch of them you can work your way around pretty smoothly and kill them all.  </P> <P>Its also the best place hands down to Duo with an Illusionist/Coercer.  They stifle the casters and you just beat them silly.  Its a nice place to farm and make some cash as well.  Pretty much anything they drop can be solo for some decent coin.</P> <P>Nial <BR>Antonia Bayle<BR></P>

<DIV>A guildie got a Huntsmans Trap Master 1 from a sister in Nek Castle and gave it to me.  That and Miracle Shot Master1 are the only 2 master Ranger skills that I have seen.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, the named boar in RE will sometimes drop a Palladium Torque, for those of you that need it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kwent</DIV>

<DIV>Master drops are received from a metal chest.  I wouldn't say that there is any place that you can go and camp them, they are pretty random in their places of discovery.  Hunt named mobs and there is a small chance for a metal, then just keep your fingers crossed for a metal.  I have received 90% of my masters from epic raid mobs, but again, there is no real mob that you can go and get ranger masters.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Linyen</DIV> <DIV>50 Ranger Permafrost</DIV> <DIV>Fires of Heaven</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks to each of you for the replies so far. Gossin, I wasn't asking "which mob do I kill for Ranger masters." I just asked if ppl could share where they saw or received ranger drops. I wanted to get a better sense for the kind of mobs that drop metal chests and hear some examples; so far, so good. Runneye and Nek Castle will be getting a bit of solo ranger love someday soon. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Incidentally, Nek Castle is where we got the only Fabled item I've seen drop, the Ring of the Warmaster. Looked tasty - +9 AGI and another big bonus to STA, IIRC. Thanks again, y'all.</DIV>
