With the war sometimes we get stuck in areas that aren't the greatest for our bonus. I was wondering if it was possible to have our bonus get so bad it actually becomes a negative or will it only go so far as to degrade to our base skill?
<<It goes negative. Negative^max
Do you have an idea how bad the negative is? Are we talking 5 to 10 ranks or 20-30 (or more)? The reason I'm asking is because I want to train my ranger's combat skills in Sand Sprites but Ratha isn't too nice to a Ranger's bonus. Also I know we can pace to see if a room is positive or negative to our bonus but are there different degrees to how bad or good an area might be? Like could one area that's negative degrade our bonus in an hour and another area degrade it in 30 minutes the same amount?

Sandies is bonus positive, as is the area out the 4th tier gate. I spent months on Ratha and never had a problem tanking it too badly.
But it gets bad...real bad. Bad enough that with well over savant effective hiding ranks, a warmie with 110 perception can see me slip into hiding if I'm in town enough.
That's why I hate invasions...

There are two ways of meeting difficulties, you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to overcome them.
If you are not riding the wave of change, You will find yourself beneath it. So swim ranger swim.

Slightly different situation there. Bad bonus means you can't find any trails at all, period, regardless of ranks. It's not a case of a bad bonus detracting from your ranks.
But, yeah, a bad bonus will detract from your skills.

I believe it is percentage based, not rank based. About forty percent maximum penalty sounds right, versus a twenty percent bonus at the other end. These numbers could be off though.

This isn't entirely true. The Sand sprite area is positive. However there are only a few areas out the North gate that are positive, its almost all negative or neutral. The leucro hunting ground is I believe all positive, and while you would have to check, there was only 1 other room that I know was bonus positive outside of that area. (There might have been a few more rooms that were, has been too long since I went to Ratha.)
