Apparently they made it much better back in March by adding a repeatable quest, though I thought that started at level 10?. If nothing else, we could do the quest over and over (it's daily), and go play in a different campaign if we get bored.
I'm just making a new character now; both of my active characters are in the other campaigns. With that note, what are you, exactly? You said Ranger, but Ranger/what? Or if you don't have a second yet, what do you intend to be? I'd try for some actual team versatility, here, and since I'm starting from scratch here anyway... It's been long enough that I can't really think of any preference on what class to play in the first place.
... ah, whatever. I guess I'll just make a Necromancer minion master. Always amusing. Phantasm Goddess.
