Ranger Epic

[splunge]

Theres a thread going on over at the Rangers Glade trying to solve the new Epic 1.5. Aparently theres some simple fletching combine in it, and it involves a Whittling KNIFE.

Theres already a whittling BLADE on regular fletching vendors, but Lucy shows it as the Knife as something different.. and EQTraders own Verdandi sumbitted the item to Lucy.

So, Verdandi, where does the Whittling Knife come from? =)

It has the same graphic as a 'Shiv' whic has been a mystery recently cause it has the Tradeskill tag. Hmm....

[Verdandi]

Eh? I have NO idea hehe. I did some extensive vendor mining today (some great finds!) and afterwards had submitted/updated 205 items. So no idea...sorry

Edit: It's no drop? Someone must've linked it. Wish I could help!

Fallen Tree Branch
LORE NO DROP
WT: 1 Size: Medium
Class: All
Race: All

Foraged in Dranik's Scar.

Confirmed in Planar Fletching Kit as part of the Long Net Pole.
Other component of Long Net Pole is a Whittling Knife.

Whittling knife

I was wondering if you had done any hunting during that same time. Since the whittling knife is no drop, it was either on a mob you encountered or on a vendor since you can't sell no drop items to vendors. =)

Ok, us ranger have been trying to figure this out for hours.

I was using a Collapsed Fletching Kit, and searched for 'NET'. Three recipes came up - Large Butterfly Net, Long Net Pole, and Phase Net (I think that was the name of the last item). Recipe for Phase Net was 4 Phase Spider Silks (from Dragon Necropolis) and a Pine Sap (foraged from JPF/Nedaria), both no drop. Trivial, 15.

The Long Net Pole was a Fallen Tree Branch, foraged in Dranik's Scar and a Whittling Knife, sold on the General Merchandise merchants in Abysmal Sea for around 5 or 6 silver. They are No Drop. Trivial, 15.

Those two items combined make the Large Butterfly Net, a No Drop 2hb weapon. Trivial, 15.

I didn't have time to go to DN this evening, so I haven't been able to make my own net yet.

I found the knife. It is sold in abysmal sea on a vendor named Duath Untez. he is a general supply merchant across from the bank. cost is 5 silver 2 copper

Ok theres a huge post now brewing on the Rangers Glade.

The first section (im guessing) of the epic involves finding 6 sick animals and capturing them with fletched items. It appars all the fletched iitmes and sub combines are trivial:15 which most of us know as secret leet tradeskill code for 'no-fail' =)

3 Animals have been found, verified and captured. 3 to go.

Great work, folks!

Would love the following once the dust settles and you can figure out which end is up:

1) complete recipes, trivials and right-click info for ingredients and sub-combines for the Database Submissions forum (or the Omens Submission forum - am not picky as long as we don't have to chase all over for the info)

2) a writeup of just the tradeskill portions of this quest for the Quests Requiring Tradeskills forum, so we can get it from there to the site as things are sorted out.

Someone wrote up a FAQ on the Ranger's Glade, detailing what is currently known about the new ranger epic. The parts that (might) pertain to EQtraders are :

TRAPPING WEAPONS

There are two ways to trap the four mobs listed above. What they are, and how they are made are below.

Large Butterfly Net - Used to Trap a twitching swordfish and a sickly mosquito.
It is made using your FLETCHING KIT(Please use only normal, or Planar). 15 Trivial.
REQUIRES:
Phase Netting(Made with fletching kit) - 4 Phase Spider Silks(Phase Spiders, Dragon Necropolis)
Long Net Pole(Made with fletching kit) - Whittling Knife(Acquired from Trasec Dreeng in Abysmal Sea), and Fallen Tree Branch(Dranik's Scar, Foraged or Ground Spawn)

8 Looped Lasso - Used to Capture a bloated drogan spider and a leprous chokidai.
It is made using your FLETCHING KIT(Please use only normal, or Planar). 15 Trivial
REQUIRES:
8 Fiborous Ropes(Made with fletching kit) - Golanda Nut(foraged in OoW zones) and Smithy Hammer(purchased from smithing merchants)


In these, the smithy hammer is returned. Nothing else is.

Sorry, I didn't think to get item details, in case they were needed for database entries. However, the relevant part is that presently there's only 2 trapping weapons. Both are 15 damage 40 delay, the lasso is a 1hs the other is a 2hb.
