I hate to ask, but do you mean move your toon in and out of the campsite over and over? Or build and instantly destroy over and over? Thanks

For a single-person camp, the max exp is 600. That is only if you leave it up for it's full duration. I haven't seen any significant bonus from having multiple people in camp. However, you may be able to beat the curve if you have more people in camp because you can erect multiple camps in a short amount of time and get more points than 600 in the same time span. <shrugs> I don't know what would be the most effective. In any event, for a one person camp, the max is 600 a shot.

If you can craft camps, and are an artisan of any type at all, survey, find a good concentration, go there, set up your camp, and /sample from inside the camp. After a half-hour or so, disband the camp for 600 XP, plop down a new one, and continue to sample. If you like, you can even set up a sample macro and craft while you sample, allowing you to get survey XP, crafting XP, and camp XP all at the same time.

having more people in your camp makes the points go up faster for example single camp duration is like 30 minutes with two people it maxxes out in 25 minutes those aren't exact times i haven't researched it but i have noticed it takes less then 20 minutes to max out a single person camp with 3 people in it

It's true... Run in and out of it so it makes the visitor count go up to say.... 20... then leave it up. 10 Minutes = 540.... 15 minutes = 620

No healing, just sitting and crafting.... Might be higher if you forage cause the camp will help heal your action... will try that later. But for now, it is true we've proven that visits do calculate into the survival exp.

Single camp:

20 visits
10 minutes
540 exp

-------

20 visits
15 minutes
620 exp (max)

-------

Multiperson camp:

20 visits
15 minutes
760 exp

I use a cooking timer and set it for 15 minutes... Craft a boat load of Stimpacks (for exp) and remake it. Seems to work out nicely when you don't feel like interacting with the game much and want to websurf or watch TV...

Sitting in a single-camp for 15 minutes gives 600 xp and usually gets rid of most of my stat wounds. I usually spam my friends with messages while I'm sitting around. heh

any other way to get it other than using a camp? and, does a camp have to heal something on you or can you just sit in one for say 15 mins and get max exp?

Probably the best way to get maximum use from your camp is to take up Surveying from the Artisan profession. This damages your Action and Mind pools which will recover and give better exp for your camp. Every time I was out in the wild and had to go away from the keyboard for a meal or to go grocery shopping I'd set up a camp and start sampling whatever was around. While I was gone my character would keep surveying til he was exhausted then recover. When I'd come back I might have a lot of really crappy material that I'd give away but I'd have full exp for my camp (600 for Basic and 800 for the second Multi person model).


As a Creature Handler you can also knock down your Mind and Action pools really fast by having your pet perform it's Trick over and over again but (and I'm still not sure one this) recovering from this damage doesn't seem to give exp with the camp.


Anyway good luck and good hunting.
