The Ranger's Offensive

The Ranger's Offensive was a special event which was held during Welcome Back Weekends, during which a number of repeatable special events were available. There were a number of quests for every 5-level bracket (25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50), and while these quests did not give XP, some of them did give reputation. Two special quest givers were active during the event:

• Nidgyl at West Gate, Bree ^{[29.7S, 52.6W]}
• Handarod in Esteldín ^{[9.7S, 40.7W]}

Since the F2P model went live, "Welcome Back" events simply provide bonus XP on kills and Ranger's Offensive quests are not available. Prior to F2P, during "Welcome Back Weekends", Turbine would allow former subscribers free access to the game, extra XP from monster kills and these quests as something special.

This event has not been active since the game went F2P in fall 2010.
