I'd like to ask for a little help with this thread actually. I have not had a lot of time to put the bad touch on all the new targets to confirm they are solid targets, and I don't wanna spend all my time confirming them if I can avoid it. I still do plan to run some bosses but I don't want to feel like I have to do them all.

Juicey, lennymon, and RebelHero (hope I'm not missing anyone) seem to have gotten this even more down than I did, as evidenced by the fact that they've been killing new stuff or stuff I tried but didn't get.

Accordingly, if you guys want to rate targets, and confirm each others targets, I will take confirmation of difficulty from any of you.

We'll see how this works. Thanks for your contributions, everyone.

wow my story has been long. after trying to do this build with out a sup expertise (and crshing and burning miserably) from not haveing enough gold to afford an offhand with +12 energy. now i have actualy killed Xeukeo (not sure on spelling. in fact ive done so 6 tims and not a single green drop. that s kinda depressing. but i will keep going. i found that a easy way (if not longer)was to hide behind the pillars so the marksmen cant hit you and use life syphon on them. at 12 blood it is 3 pips of degen and you can cast it on all 4 of them. pretty funny. also i have noticed on him that if you kill everything there, besides the one group in the little crevice and the 2 groups that are like guarding the entrance to this place. then if you go to the right of whereyou killed the archers the group you didnt kill will run away triggering X where you can kill him w/o worrying about his posse. pretty wisked sweet.

well ima go try another boss. gl everyone.

Sure! I'll continue trying to find bosses and would be glad to help rate any other bosses found.

Absolutely count me in to help out. I really enjoy pushing the boundaries that is ranger hunting. heh, I actually even killed Amadis once... and just once, cant replicate yet. Activated his patrol and wated till there was only one guy left from fighting carps/leviathons, took that one out (quickly) and ran to regen but kept him on my leash (in and out of his notice, but not aggro technique) then back in. I can't repeat though and sadly no drop for me. I did discover that its good to poke into aggro and out untill he throws the maelstrom. He's painful.

Delic: hard to very hard, but not that difficult just time consuming clearing his groups (would anyone care to replicate this? I still haven't gotten his dang wand either). Not really a farmable I'd say but certainly doable if you want his gear.
Aurius: I usually group with delic and clear the patrols before delic first, but if you dont take delic you can run all the way through them to the top of the hill where lorelle ends patrol, you have to take 2 patrols there (seperately) and can then pull Aurius up near oni bridge or go down after him. Usually he ends up with only one guy left after killing the carps too (bonus) - medium for time.

I'm in too. Even though the next few days I'll have to be studying like hell, so feel free to flame me if I post too much :P. I have been trying to kill Razorjaw Longspine, no luck yet though. The patrols are a mess out there, and pulling him in time is tricky. Well, back to studying...

That Frothspit fellow... Razorfin? Super easy. You simply pull yourself within range of the Luxon Priest. Kill off his posse while he's stuck in the wall, then move to him and the priest will follow. Super cake. Nice Vamp Bow, too.

The Skill Eater and The Pain Eater Rit Bosses can be killed also, but you must take care to lure them separately. They aren't linked to the undergrowths and kirins around them so a longbow lure generally does the trick.

I havent gotten any green drops from them but according to the wiki they are there for the taking. Not too hard to kill, add them to the list!

Just for completeness, I've never failed to take down Delic and I've got it down to roughly 15 minutes now. Here's EXACTLY what I do:
http://loptastru.org/photo2.html

final picture full size is:http://loptastru.org/Delic/delic6.jpg

razorjaw longspine is 1: hard to get to safeley, and more importantly 2: almost ALWAYS get ganked by Sentai or another roving outcast patrol.

Not entirely true... he does get ganked often, thats the hard part imo... It is possible to lure him in time, but it must be done after he killes the first outcast group but before the next group attacks him. I have done that a few times. Once I got killed by a turtle patrol, and a few times due to balthazars aura or 2 scuttle fishes that didnt want to die by outcast hands and found it their life's work to annoy me...

lennymon, your guide on Delic is good stuff, so I'm gonna add him although he's not independently confirmed yet. I'm gonna dd that in to the top if you don't mind. (Just tell me if you need it taken down). Delic confirmed hard.

Quansong confirmed medium.

Still needing confirmation:

Flower
Jayne
Skill Eater
Pain Eater

On another note, is the Easy / Medium / Hard rating system making sense to everyone? I wanted to give readers the best possible bang for their buck in terms of time spent versus greens dropped, which is why I did it that way.

Untouched Ancient Ky: Now his name is just plain wrong, cause I just touched him good . Enter Raisu Pavilion from Imperial Sanctum and (use map for guide) run to where some docks appear on the map, he is there.

Like the 2 Rit Bosses, its unlinked to the surrounding group, so some creative luring can pull him away. No green drop yet, but according to wiki he drops Ky's Chalice (divine icon) worth approx 10-15k in guru price list. Overall its pretty easy takes about 10 mins or so. Now for some of these other Raisu Bosses......

EDIT: I should say that Ky is unlinked to the enemies already there. If you go too close to that spirit portal thingy and more enemies pop from there, they are linked and you can't really lure him by himself in that case.

I am planning to make a few videos about farming with diffirent professions. Among which the Touch Ranger will be the first. As I said, I am very busy studying right now. But I will start with this at the end of this week. Hope you can wait that long

We already had this discussion a few pages back. The best option is the blood set (I think Gordacs?), the cheapest and easiest option is Milthurans staff or the blood knife + a +5 energy weapon.

Personally I like the 2 collector items:
Blood knife from Jefri Whylir in Aurios Mines 5 bone charms
and
Pronged rod from Kiishen in Shenzen tunnels just at Nahpui Quarter (explorable) gate - 5 plague idos

Advantages: 2 x 20% recharge for Oob is really really good sometimes. You *can* still damage things with a wand if you are waiting for a recharge or something. FREE with easily obtainable collectables.
Specs for Oob are the same for blood @ 12 or 13 so +1 to blood only effect is 3 more health on touch (insignificant) an armor wrapping on collector blood staff would be better in my opinion that milthurans - which *would* be great for a blood necro primary, or as a switch from the +5 energy & 20/20 offhand.

YAY!!! I finally got the stupid wand from Delic

Edit: I'm happy to help a brother ranger out with getting these also as long as its understood that I already have a full time job ;P

I'm using the Pronged Rod from the weaponsmaker at Vasburg and the collectors icon from the desert (+15 energy -1 energy regen). That gives me a nice 59 energy to play with and every 5th OOB is faster.

Started with corpse denial for the death necro bosses using Necrotic Traversal (also usefull when facing Kirin). Ghial goes a bit faster that way.

Edit: when facing Ghial there are no-one who puts conditions on you, so I switched in Troll's unguent and placed the remaining 6 points in Wilderness, giving you a health regen of 5. Makes getting energy back between fights using OOB easier.

I'll check these out, since I already have enough to make a few of them. =-)

Thx for gear recommendation.
