Voln to GOS at 45 training's - doable?

[Druhar]

I have a human sniping archer that is a member of Voln that I stopped play because of my frustration with the inability to crit many undead with arrows and being spotted by them regularly. I recently read a post by Droit indicating that GoS was really perfect for rangers. Would I be crazy to switch to GoS at my current level? Is it doable?

[JNewhall]

Totally doable. Sniping in warcamps rocks.

[loxe]

my ranger switched from col to gos at 50. just remember vine and breeze are your friends

[Vorpodu]

Warcamp orcs seem to be very perceptive as well.

[JNewhall]

Yeah, orcs and guards are very perceptive. Snipe trolls and giants, and take out the guards first.

Once I mastered GoS with my paladin I gave up warcamps, they are just sort of annoying, mostly because of force on force formulas. He has 25 ranks in MOC and it would still be problematic. I would say you better make sure you have some MOC if you want to switch since you will get caught out at times and without it a warcamp is death on a stick.

It comes back full circle though... In the last month or so, I've had an absolute blast doing warcamps at cap. It may not necessarily be faster/safer XP than bounties, but it's definitely more fun, and it's really enjoyable to get a group going...

It's nice because it isn't a replacement source of exp, it's a supplemental source of exp. If I get a bunch of bounties I have no interest in doing, I can double my chances of a good task by checking with the outpost every 15 minutes too. When I'm sitting around town with a completed gem task and 0 exp in my head, instead of gearing up for a full scatter hunt, I'll just pop out to a warcamp literally 3 rooms from the town gates, run in and kill a warchief and his goons, and fry in a couple minutes. I'd be back on node with a saturated head in no time at all, plus I'd have that completed warchief task to turn in for more saturation once the gem task gets absorbed. So convenient.

I am currently in RR so I may have to move since clerics and healers are a bit scarce. Any thoughts on the best place to GoS hunt from in terms of war camp availability, emergency services and orc/giants/trolls in the landscape?

just looking at this http://gsguide.wikia.com/index.php?title=GoS_Hated_Enemies it looks like the landing is best.

Icemule has a lot of giants and trolls in your level range, and it has a solid population for rescues. All the camps are trolls and giants though, which are significantly harder than orcs.
