Ranger of Ithilien

"Four tall Men stood there. Two had spears in their hands with broad bright heads. Two had great bows, almost of their own height, and great quivers of long green-feathered arrows. All had swords at their sides, and were clad in green and brown of varied hues, as if the better to walk unseen in the glades of Ithilien."

- The Two Towers, Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit Rangers of Ithilien are warriors that spawn in Ithilien and Harondor. They are the remnants of the inhabitants of Ithilien before Sauron laid waste to Osgiliath and destroyed eastern Ithilien.

Spawning
Rangers of Ithilien spawn night and day in Harondor and Ithilien. They will only spawn on top of a grass block, which means that they will not normally spawn underground.

Behaviour
In the presence of Sauron's minions (most likely Mordor Orcs), they become almost invisible (ghost-like form) and cannot be spotted by an enemy NPC unless they engage in melee combat.

As a weapon, they use a Gondorian bow at long range and a Gondorian sword at close range. They are equipped with a full set of Ranger armour and can only be distinguished from Rangers of the North by their set of weapons.

With the addition of quests in Public Beta 20, the player may be given a quest by either a Mordor Orc or by one of the Near Haradrim to kill a certain number of Rangers of Ithilien and then return to the quest-giver.

Hiring
Rangers can also spawn in Ithilien Ranger Hideouts, along with an Ithilien Ranger Captain, from whom you can hire Rangers. The requirements for this are that you have at lest +300 alignment with Gondor and are willing to spend 30 silver coins.
