Default Question for Rangers and the Firiona Vie zone.

Will your track at approximately level 40 cover the entire Zone? I'm trying to trackdown 'Kwinn the Outlander' but i'm not entirely comfortable running through that zone alone.

Not sure about the tracking question but that I think that NPC wanders around the NE part of zone near the NE swamp ZL iirc. You could enter FV from that NE swamp ZL and wouldn't have to cross the entire zone. Be warned, though..even with little ground to cover there are a ton of fast moving frogs and stuff that wander back and forth.

No. Kunark zones are huge, "zonewide track" on live was just a hollow brag.

Interesting formulas though Jeff, thanks for posting!

Running through packs of hostile things is a ranger skill. Consider running through the zone and tracking in quadrants. It'll get you experience for doing seb keys later on. But I realize Kunark is terrible for its see invis, is FV all scowls w/ camo? Either way, you're faster than the mobs.

Not sure if there are see invis or not. But there are definitely froglok shamans that sow themselves. So not sure about outrunning everything.

The froglok's are few and far between in the area that he roams. There's one or two that path right in front of the giant camp but easy to avoid. You can follow the cliff to the wall, then the wall all the way to the northern corner.

Maybe 1 out of 10 drovlargs see invis, if not less, and they have a small aggro radius.

It's not nearly as dangerous as it seems even without invis if you pay attention to your surroundings and just keep moving.

I mean, I used to fear kite on my alt rogue in the middle of the field there. Did wonders for my awareness.

What techniques do you use to maximise your situational awareness? From your stories I basically run on the assumption you are super human. Do you cycle view modes? are there key binds to switch between specific view modes? Do you have any videos of you fear kiting in OT, FV, etc?

I did some work on my ranger in WW and was finding it tricky to be aware of even huge things like ice burrowers around me.

This was probably back in 2014. I picked a spot that only got occassional roamers and pulled to there. Just lots of camera panning and keeping my current target a good distance from any mobs I saw inc. Circling around in 3rd person is easy enough outside. As far as Western Wastes, it's a nightmare if you're KoS. I've never survived hunting ice burrowers with my druid KoS to dragons. Ice burrowers, on the other hand, are pretty easy to avoid. Huge / slow. Just keep a respectful distance and be paranoid.
