I was just reading that others were having issues with mask scent so it may be a bug.

Okay, make sure you have scout 4x4x and not 2x4x. The extra mask scent will help. If that still doesn't help invest in getting some jawa beer. Chefs can make it quite cheaply, and offers an additional 15-20 points of mask scent bonus. If that still doesn't work (i can use this on MRs) then you may have to get master scout.

Jawa beer

Always always always drink jawa beer. It is an artisan food that takes light additives so it's easily made and readily available.

Things alway get wonky after a patch. Yesterday sevorrts were warping all over the place and I notice if I was incapped I'd slide across the desert if my pets killed the animal that incapped me. I even chased a few flying sevorrts. They're pretty creepy looking from underneath.

The trouble with the claim that "masked scent has been nerfed", is that this has become one of those "boy that cried wolf" issues, where for as long as I've been playing, there is at least one or two such claims with every major patch and it has yet to be true. One of these days somebody is going to report an actual problem with masked scent, but when they do, nobody is going to believe them

But I totally believe you when you say you had those problems, just the same. I've been there myself, lol.

My mask scent seems to be breaking more often, but I've been assuming it's because of more spawns. Double the number of spawns and you double the chance of mask scent breaking, more or less.

I had a similar issue.

I was working on DNA sampling on a Bol lair on Flurry and would continually have my mask scent broken with no agro's anywhere on screen.

I think this has to do with the rubber banding they just fixed and the server inaccurate reporting of mob locations. I suspect this because anytime a creature began walking while I was sampling it would "warp" about 100 m away before I could finish, and wheni got there it would walk back towards its lair and warp back to the point where it had been originally, like some kind of dead-zone.

This could lead to agro mobs being reported by the server as in range to detect you when there would be no graphical representation of it. Sort of like them being in 2 places at once....wait....oh no.......SOE broke the universe with this last patch....great. They'll probably get around to smugglers before they fix it.../sigjh

I reckon that maskscent is the same as it always was.

I was out with my needle earlier getting MH and GSP samples (No prizes for guessing what I use them in )

My maskscent broke when I got about 80m form the static spawn of MH, and then didn't break at all until the MH and KMH was dead (Although 1 of them did aggro me) Got 15 MH, and 2KMH samples with 1 aggro,out ofabout 4/5 MH.

When I got to the Static spawn for GSP on Talus, I had no problems with them (But then they aren't aggro), however the normal SPs had a bit of a go at me once or twice.

All in all seemed like a normal mid level DNA sampling trip without major complications.

I was usingscout 4xxx, Mask Scent clothing around +14/+14 (I left my trousers behind) and Jawa Beer +18. I do know my total Mask Scent skill was 104.
