I went back to look at the ranger skill list and just want to make sure that the changing of our restricted skill is correct.
Restricted Skills
Sorcery
It was originally stealing
Currently we can use stealing.
When Socharis posted the New Ranger Circle requirements on the 16th, Stealing was listed as a restricted skill for Rangers.
When I went back to the post to verify the new circle requirements I noticed that restricted skill for Rangers had been changed to Sorcery.
I have not seen a post from Socharis since the original about changing which skill was restricted for Rangers and am looking for official confirmation.

Your name and this question amuses me.

Keep in mind that this was an estimate, and [personally] I'd expect all times to slide as the development staff is made up of volunteers.

Welcome to the ranger guild! And don't apologize for asking questions--you can't learn if you don't.
DR has been working on a massive rewrite of the game. All spells will be modified in some way, all combat will be changed, all learned skills will be modified (either getting combined with other like skills or rewritten in some way. And I know I have forgotten something and I'm sure my fellow rangers will correct me : P .
So please ask if you don't know. Also, please visit Olwydd.org for a nice site on rangers stuff and other guilds. Also, please visit Elanthipedia.org for a thorough and informative site on DR.
If you don't mind me suggesting this, there is a small library in the tree house in Crossing guild that has good reading. Also there is a note posted on the main tree one can sit under. A lot of folks never bother to read these, but I found them helpful.

There's also a ranger mentor night every Tuesday at 9 PM Eastern. Varies between Cursings and Riverhaven. It's usually on the front page where you log in at. IMO it's to help all rangers, but especially the ones that are just starting out. All the rangers there are very helpful. You might want to come by and let some of the more experienced rangers help you out. If you show up I can almost guarantee you'll understand why we say "NO RANGER STANDS ALONE".

A few questions:
So after the combination of Hiding/Stalking, and Foraging/Escaping... My 8th survival is to be around 175 ranks, while all my others are going to be close to 500.
By my calculations, at my circle, I'm going to need 302 in that 8th survival skill.
I believe mention was made of grandfathering up to level at the expense of pulling bits from your pools. Is this the case?
Also, which skill will be grandfathered? The one that is closest in that skillset to the needed ranks?
And because it is up for consideration how is disarm/lockpick being combined formula wise?
Last question, will stealing count as a trainable survival for circles?
I'm trying to decide which skill (if any, are going to get some "free" ranks), whether it's going to be stealing, firstaid, or locksmithing. Right now, those 3 are about 50 ranks apart with firstaid in the lead, and I'm not sure I want to train that as my 8th survival. It might be time to backtrain boxes.

>I believe mention was made of grandfathering up to level at the expense of pulling bits from your pools. Is this the case?
Those skills that already exist or are derived from existing skills (athletics, small blades, etc) will pull bits from your pools. Those that did not exist in any form will not. Rule of thumb would be if you could have trained them but didn't, it'll pull bits. If you couldn't, it won't.
>so, which skill will be grandfathered? The one that is closest in that skillset to the needed ranks?
The top X in a skillset will be brought up to minimums. If your 1st survival, for example vanishes, then it will bring your second up to your first, your third up to your second, etc. etc.
>And because it is up for consideration how is disarm/lockpick being combined formula wise?
No different than the others. You get the highest of the two, and the other gets put into the bonus pools.
>I'm trying to decide which skill (if any, are going to get some "free" ranks), ... I'm not sure I want to train that as my 8th survival. It might be time to backtrain boxes.
Yeah, if your last x skill is not the one you want to be brought up to circle minimums, it would probably be a good idea to start cranking the skill you do want to be there.

Yepp.
>>And because it is up for consideration how is disarm/lockpick being combined formula wise?
Highest of either IIRC.
>>Last question, will stealing count as a trainable survival for circles?
I believe the only restricted skill for Rangers is Sorcery, so yes Stealing should be able to count :)

Whoops, missed that one.
Yes, it will. Or at least, as of last time Ranger requirements were mentioned it was not said to be a restricted skill.

Thievery is usable to circle by the following guilds (nth Survival)
Bard
Necromancer
Trader
Thief
Ranger
All other guilds, it is a restricted skill (can't be use for circling).
TG, TG, GL, et al.

> Has anyone taken the time to make a circle calculator for the new reqs? would me nice to know what I need to start working on.
If you use genie, the circle calc plug in is updated and works in both prime and test. I can't vouch for it's accuracy for all guilds, but seems pretty solid to me.
