Ranger Grouping Bonus

[Trixie]

So, I keep seeing 'do rangers get a bonus for grouping with another ranger' being asked. I thought I would check and find out if they do. Short answer, yes! Here are some numbers that I saw.

First, I was doing fambaa missions and harvesting meat (because that's what I needed at the time) these fambaas were all 'skinny and unhealthy' and I tested several combinations with the following toons.

Master Ranger #1 Kos (110% harvest for being a Trandoshan)
Master Ranger #2 Ousti (100% harvest for being a Zabrak)
Scout xx4x Nudar (45% harvest for being a rodian with scout)
Non scout Arcsine (no harvesting possible)

800 units : Kos alone

960 units : Kos grouped with Nudar (out of range)
1152 units : Kos using a 114% harvest droid while grouped with Nudar (out of range)
1440 units : Kos grouped with Nudar (in range)
1728 units : Kos using a 114% harvest droid while grouped with Nudar (in range)

960 units : Kos grouped with Ousti (out of range)
1152 units : Kos using a 114% harvest droid while grouped with Ousti (out of range)
1680 units : Kos grouped with Ousti (in range)
2016 units : Kos using a 114% harvest droid while grouped with Ousti (in range)

960 units : Kos grouped with Arcsine (out of range)
1152 units : Kos using a 114% harvest droid while grouped with Arcsine (out of range)
1440 units : Kos grouped with Arcsine (in range)
1728 units : Kos using a 114% harvest droid while grouped with Arcsine (in range)

1575 units : Ousti's harvest while grouped with Kos in range
471 units : Nudar's harvest while grouped with Kos in range

So, my conclusions are.
Having a ranger in a group, but not right there doing the missions (out of range) is the same as having any other character in the group.

Having any other character in the group within range gives the ranger a bonus to harvest, even if the other person is not able to harvest themselves.

Having a ranger in a group, within range gives another ranger a bigger bonus to harvest

This is absolutely correct. It is best to hunt with another MRanger nearby. The bonuses do not stack, so having 3 rangers will be the same as 2 rangers.

This is a good idea

And it works well
