What would be a nice place to hold a ranged convention ? Cause its not much to organize i probably will call for the 1st ASC, the Atys shooters convention, in near future.

I think a wide plane or such would fit. Dessert or lakelands ? Please make suggetions for a nice shooting gallery where we can check how much destruction two dozend rifleman can do . There should be also some space for spectators...

I'd say hold it in the desert. I don't do range, but I'd love to see that too Psylo. Great idea btw.

I assume you would want some fairly high level mobs that you could dish out the damage to. Maybe Flaming Forest on in the Canyon. There are some good spots for people to watch from in Flaming Forest depending on what level and/or type of mob you would want to try going after. If one to two purple starred zerx or timmies would do, a good spot would be the Oflovak's Oasis side of Flaming Forest as spectators could watch from cliffs that run along the Scorched Forest Corridor just south of the OO Kami Alter. Spectators could also watch from the ramp and/or a few safe areas in FF itself.

The canyon would be a little trickier, but if you need 4 and 5 purpled star mobs, then deeper into the canyon, say around the Scorched Corridor area where you would have Shalahs, timmies, Zerx, Cuttlers and/or Tyrancha to choose from to be the targets of choice. It would be harder to get a large group of spectators out of the way to watch the devastation take place.

I guess it will depend on the amount of ranged fighters you can round up as well as their levels. If lower level mobs, say some red starred critters are needed, then around Dyron there some nice spots as well as Thesos. Some good sand dunes for the spectators to watch from and/or on the shores of some water in case things get wacky crazy.

Lakelands would be pretty too, but I'm not as familiar with that area. Have you thought of GoC in the Forest of Matis or maybe the Void in the Jungles of Zorai? There are some open wide spots, fields and hills that open up out of the forest and jungle in both GoC and the Void that would make for some nice big battles with spectating. Beautiful scenery too.

If you want some lower levels, the southern end of Frahar Towers (around Vast Expanse) would be good because its flat (duh) and a nice kinda "shooting range" feel to it

I tend to dessert. I think its mostly about being able to hit.

I was hoping more ranged ppl would post here to see what levels they are around. Depending on that i will travel a bit around to find a nice place.

Dont be shy, Psylo is lvl 32 ranged

phear my uber lvl 52 ranged skilllzz

its enough that I can wear the title

Yay! Sounds like fun. I'm in. Aaaalmost level 60

Oh in that case im lvl 101 1h and 2h , solo kiting clopper is great fun in WoM btw

Edit - or was prior to the lose agro feature

Open space in the desert *ponders*

Well, that's everywhere - and it does depend on the level of the "Shooters" hehe

For lower level (and to make traveling eazy) my first suggestion would be at the Karavan alter/port at Pyr.
It's very easy to get to - it's safe and it would be easy to set up for spectators or on-lookers.
It's actually pretty roomy there - with a little view of the trenches, etc.
Also there aren't a lot of mobs in that area, so you won't have herby clutter

Another intresting spot I think would work (although many may think it odd) is the isle or penisula in Dyron.
Almost everyone has access to Dryon, if not it's easily obtained as well - this is a suggestion for slightly higher players.
I can see the audience parted in the two bodies of water to watch the competition.
The competitors can line up along either side of the strip of land - maybe facing their opponents, etc.
The only issue here would be a couple of harvesters - but generally no mobs come onto the land.
The only time you have to worry about agro is when someone has gotten the attention of a far-off kipucka and has run toward and odd goal intead of the water a panic

Thesos - two spots.
The first one is right at the TP/Alter.
There is always an agro-awareness program here, but it's not too bad, plus if there are a lot of people at this event/competition a varnix or ocyx shouldn't be a problem.

The second spot is actually to the right of the market when you're coming from the TP - this is kind of like a walk-way out of the town.
This would be an interesting spot and as far as I've seen it's not an agro area.
I haven't spent a lot of time in Thesos - but the second spot seems like the best option for this town.

Now, for much higher level players you could always do something in PR.
But, of course this would mean everyone attending would need the TPs to the area you're considering.
There are actually a few open spots that would be perfect for it, but probly more difficult to make sure everyone can be there.

I do agree with the desert being the best option for this type of competition.
You can deffinately see easier there - wide open and line of sight is clearer.

I hope some of this helps

Have a wonderful day!

We did our little launcher ranged guild event in Oflovak's Oasis. Most people don't have high ranged so its a good middlie leveled area.
