Rangers Rolling Again!

Personal Trail Markers!
The Personal Trail Marker system is a new feature using the SCOUTING skill. A Ranger can use a rock to create a trail marker. They can also find trail markers left by other Rangers, teach other Rangers to read their own marks and track down a Ranger whose trail marker they come across (follow a fellow Ranger's trail). Verbs such as COVER, ARRANGE, TURN, and KICK can be used on the trail marks to make it easy or hard for another Ranger to find

How Does It Work?
Using the Personal Trail Marker system is easy, when you follow the following steps.

1. Get any rock and use BESEECH ELANTHIA TO IMBUE on it
2. Do not RUB the rock like you normally would when using the beseech
3. Get a carving or skinning knife, and go to the room where you want to make your trail marker
4. MARK your rock to form the trail marker
5. STUDY your rock

Congratulations! You have left a trail marker. Now, when you want to get back to your trail marker:

1. STUDY your rock - study your rock to remember where the trail marker was built
2. SCOUT your rock - This starts you (and any in your group) on the journey back to the room where the trail marker was built

The Ranger has many option available in this new system. Some thing you may want to experiment with are READ and LOOK at your rock, COVER, ARRANGE and LOOK at your (or someone else's) trail marker. Of course there are also some other features to this system! You'll need to experiment more to find out just what they are!

TRACK Updates
The TRACK verb has received rework and upgrades. Tracking non-moveable non-player characters is no longer allowed. Rangers can track while hidden if they pass a skill check, remain hidden when tracking if they pass a skill check, and hide theirs and other players' tracks.

The amount of time one can hold a tracked target is based on a skill check and will last for up to 15 minutes. Tracking experience will now be calculated more accuratly and based on the distance to the tracked target. Roundtime will now have a greater fluctuation and be based on skill.

Rangers can now lead players with them while tracking, providing they pass a few skill checks. Tracking messaging has also been reworked.

Rangers Slow Down Pesky Graves
Ranger Roopardua made an appearance recently and showed Rangers how to BESEECH ELANTHIA TO SEAL. This beseech will extend the time on a character's grave before it starts ejecting items. You will need to go see Guild Leader Tomma in Shard to get started on the quest. This beseech is for Rangers of at least 50th circle

Treehouse Spyglass
The spyglass in the Ranger guild treehouse has been changed a bit. You can now see all the ordinal points (compass directions). Have fun!
