Are the widescan levels accurate? Ranger level 1 (supposedly widescan II) has a smaller widescan than my 49 beastmaster (testing it as SMN72/BST36 right now). My boyfriend's ranger is only level 1, so as we're both camping Dune Widow, I noticed that my widescan as SMN/BST was much larger than his as THF/RNG. I don't think RNG actually gets Widescan II until level 5 or something, because that's been the accepted level up value for camping Valkurm Emperor as ranger sub for as long as I can remember. Alas, my ranger is 75, so I can't even really test that to be sure. --Aethaeryn 06:29, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
I just hit 37 with Beastmaster and the widescan range increases imo. Maybe Wide Scan III is level 37? -Emoen
I can't vouch for the other values, but I can confidently say Widescan III is level 40. When I was 39 I had the sense (and luck) to remember to snap a screenshot from an easy-to-replicate position. Soon as I hit 40, I went to the exact same spot and took another screenshot. These two pics are edited with the green circle positioned over me, and a radius equal to the most distant widescan object.
Should be pretty solid prood that there's an upgrade at 40. Also, hi aeth. ^^/ -- Parvus (Gilgamesh) 03:48, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
SMN Widescan
SMN seems to get a bonus to Wide Scan even though it doesn't get Wide Scan innately. My 75SMN/11RNG has a MUCH larger range (approx. 3x3 map squares) than my 75BRD/11RNG or 75DRG/11RNG which have the 2x2 range listed in the article for Wide Scan II. Has anyone else tested this? --Aviance|Sylph 08:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I took some screenshots as evidence for this SMN Wide Scan bonus phenomenon. I added in the green circles taking after the example of the person doing the BST39/40 examples.
Wide Scan on 75DRG/11RNG
Wide Scan on 75SMN/11RNG
It's so weird. Should we note this in the article?--Aviance|Sylph 09:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
