Step 7

1) Go to Siren's Grotto and locate a twitching swordfish. Equip Large Butterfly Net in your primary slot before engaging. If you don't have it equipped you'll an emote telling you to equip it.

Get a twitching swordfish below 20% HP. Make sure to NOT kill it. Use low level nukes and turn away from it so don't riposte.

Once it's below 20% you just have to be patient. Let the a twitching swordfish continue to hit you until you get Captured Swordfish on your cursor. If it regenerates back above 20% that is fine. You only need to get it below 20% once. If you kill it by mistake the respawn time is a bit over an hour.

This can be buggy. Sometimes you will not get the item. I am not sure what the solution is. I have tried resetting the mob and it doesn't seem to do anything. You may have to kill it and come back. It work for me when I killed it and came back*

2) Go to Temple of Cazic-Thule and locate a sickly mosquito. It is in back of the sewers. Repeat the same process as the Part 1 above. Equip Large Butterfly Net in your primary slot before engaging. This one worked on the first time for me. I got the Captured Mosquito on my cursor about 30 seconds after getting the mob under 20% HP.

3) Go Temple of Droga and locate a bloated drogan spider. Repeat the same steps as Part 1. This time equip Eight-loop Lasso in your primary slot before engaging. It also spawns some adds that don't hit for much. You'll receive Captured Spider from this one.

Step 18

Go to The Bloodfields with medium sized raid and when you get close to the spot on the map (+400, +750) a raid event will spawn and attack when you (The Ranger) gets close.. There are a lot of adds here so its highly recommended to have your raid pre-clear the trash before you approach yourself.

Grinbik the Fertile and Marshal Histent both spawn along with golem adds. The golems can be crowd controlled. You'll want to have a few tanks for this. Kill all the adds and Marshal Histent When Grinbik the Fertile gets low HP he will run back into the building and you'll be able to interact with him. Hail him to receive Grinbik's Blessing.

Step 23

Go to The Runied City of Dranik with a raid. Get ready for a raid fight at Red Circle 1 on the map. The raid will spawn when you (The Ranger) gets close. There are a lot of adds your raid should pre-clear out of the room before you get close and spawn the event.

Once the room is clear get close and the raid event will start. You'll see two groups of mobs and 2 boss mobs. Clear all the trash out. A lot of golems will spawn during this also. Kill everything and CC what you can.

It seems at some point the 2 named will respawn in the Red Circle 2 room. Once all the trash is dead head to that room and you'll find Sverins Fireskin and Uisima Lord of the Depths.
