Earthcaller
Ranger Epic 1.0 1H slashing sword with the Earthcall proc — a slow + damage effect on melee hit.
Earthcaller is the Ranger Epic 1.0 reward — a 1H slashing sword wielded as the final step of the Ranger epic chain alongside its partner blade

The Ranger turns in components to Xanuusus in North Karana to receive Earthcaller after delivering the Refined Mithril Blade + Shattered Emerald of Corruption.
The sword's defining feature is its proc: Earthcall, which fires on a successful melee hit and applies a slow + small direct damage to the target. In an era where Rangers were primarily ranged DPS, Earthcaller gives the class a melee option that contributes to fight pacing through the slow proc, not just personal damage.
Why it matters

Together they represent the canonical "Ranger goes melee" build — the slow proc on either blade frees the group from needing a Shaman/Enchanter slow on dispel-vulnerable fights.
The slow is the headline. Earthcaller is not chosen for raw damage; the 14/24 DMG/Delay puts it well below later raid weapons. It is chosen because a Ranger landing the slow during a fight reduces incoming melee damage on the tank without burning a slower's mana bar. On fights where slows get dispelled, Earthcaller can re-apply on every successful hit.

The Last Camp any-race-class note
Ranger is canonical to Wood Elf, Half Elf, Human, and Halfling. On The Last Camp any race can roll Ranger. The component chain runs through several Tunare-aligned NPCs (Telin Darkforest in Burning Woods, Faelin Bloodbriar in Faydark, Foloal Stormforest in Firiona Vie) plus a Plane of Hate raid step. Non-canonical-race Rangers (Dark Elf, Troll, Ogre, Iksar) face a long Tunare/Faydark faction grind before the chain becomes accessible. See Faction for Custom Combos.
The Earthcall proc itself is class-locked to Ranger by the wielder check, race-agnostic.
