Question - Need advice

[tsunstar77]

So I am trying to work of the bugs here. I have been using the hunter role for a ranger to farm for drops in a quiet zone. The current set of events is as follows

Problem 1) monsters in the zone summon, and I found myself in an infinite loop of returning to camp and being summoned

Solution 1) I made the pull zone encompass the entire zone so I wouldn't leave the zone and have to return

Problem 2) There is an area that is located up high on the far end of the zone and it is trapping me. Think something like volcano with crater on top, The ranger runs up there to kill spawns and never comes back down. changed the Z axis all the way up to 300 but it just sits up there and looks for spawns in range.

So, either I need a better way to fix problem 1, or a way to fix problem 2

set the z axis to 5000, see if that help you

I'm assuming you are using MQ2Ranger. Hunter Tank should work as long as you have a good mesh and the zhigh and zlow set correctly. You can also use pull arc from one side of the zone to eliminate the area causing issues instead of the 360 default.

no, just my own ini for kissassist. I can eliminate any area just fine but I need a way to make the macro stop returning to camp and fight if it has agro

Question: Are you running a group or are you just running the ranger? If you are just running the ranger then you might want to look at some conditions to help do what you want.

Solo, farming tradeskill loot in a lower level zone

I haven't messed with conditions yet, I'll have to look into it

Huuummm! Lets look at the first problem that you mentioned.

CampRadius 30 Any # Determines how far your characters interact based on your initial camp spot. This value should be less than MeleeDistance. See MeleeDistance in the Melee section for more information.

CampRadiusExceed 400 Any # Disables the ReturnToCamp setting upon moving large distances from your camp. (Summoned, warp, teleport etc)

ReturnToCamp 0 0/1 0=Off/1=On - Determines if your characters return to the camp after each fight. (Note: Set ChaseAssist to 0 if using this).

The above are from Kissassist manual.

So the next question is since you are only using the ranger, are you setting the role as Hunter? Next question is if you are only using the hunter why do you need a camp? I would hit a zone and just let the ranger run the zone so if he got summoned just kill the mob. Unless you are trying to pull a mob from a group of mobs. Since you are trying to gather drops and farm the zone the trying to cut a mob from a group that can summon then you will need help (another character one that can mez or harmony the mob group.)

Also if you are just running the ranger then take control of him/her. I would need some more information in how you have Kissassist set up to see if you need to change things.

I haven't messed with campradius so maybe that's the setting I need to try and play with

return to camp is off, but this zone has summoning mobs and if you get pulled outside the pull area, it tries to return to camp anyway

I set the role as hunter because I just want it to run around and kill things and that role seemed to work the way I wanted it to. I just want it to run around a zone and kill everything it sees without getting stuck, but there's one place I do get stuck

Edit: also not trying to do any fancy pulling, the ranger can handle any number of mobs
