I set up camps while sampling as well as having camps with groups with lots of wounds and healing. Generally the most I get from a basic camp is 600 exp. Last night I was with a group that died and got a lot of wounds. When we all (four of us) got back to our bodies I set up a camp and we healed each other and entertained and such. We were in the camp so long it disappeared right out from under us! I got 600xp for that and deployed another camp.... After a bit we finally were all healed and I took down the camp and got another 600 exp! Qualify for Survival II now but can't afford to train it yet... (have other skills that need training first...)

Why can't other scouts gain survival xp while in someone else's camp? You're still camping even though you didn't set up the camp. Is this just the basic camp that does this? Does the multi-person camp allow more than one scout to get the survival xp?

Can't seem to figure out how to gain Survival XP. Can anyone give me some tips as to quick and effectiant ways to move up this line?

Thanks

Survival XP is earned by setting up a camp and camping for a period of time. XP is earned if you do this solo, but it is earned much quicker if the camp is visited by a number of people and if it is used for healing.

Camping is the only method that I am aware of to earn Survival XP.

Camps can be crafted with a Generic Crafting Tool. They require bone and hide.

Yes u need to make camps. if you are soloing u will need to speed approx. 30mins in a camp to get max Survival xp. If u got someone to share your camp it will take less time to gain max xp for that camp. After 30mins the camp wont do u any good xp wise so shut down the camp and make another one to start the process over again.

Thanks for the responce guys. I was having troublw with that myself. If anyone else knows others ways to gain up XP in this as well, please feel free to spill the gutts. Thanks.

17 minutes or so seems to be the magic number for 1 person to max out the camps value. Just my 2 credz

wow at this rate only take me 24 months to become a bounty hunter

sure glad the make the fun stuff so easy

yes Im being a smart @ss

thanks for this info

Survival exp is based primarily on the ammount of damage that is healed by the camp. Healing your wounds in camp will net you the most exp for the camp.

I agree with Umba Gumba's comments above!!! I've found that if I wait in my Camp for my woulds to heal once, I usually get 300 Survival XP. When I had one other person in the camp with me and we both healed our wounds once I received 600 XP....I see a trend here! All of this took about 6-7 mins, which is not too bad IMO. Also, always remember to break down your camp to get the most XP....NEVER let it de-spawn on its own, by abandoning it....you get much less XP.

Just out of curiosity, if you're out soloing and setup a camp, what do you guys do for the duration of the camping? You get more experience the longer the camp is setup, so I just set one up this morning, sat the character down in it, then took a shower in real life while I racked up experience. I had no desire to sit there and watch my character twiddle his thumbs for 20 minutes because I wasn't in a very high trafic area. what do you with your characters while camping?

I have been gaining survival exp pretty fast here is what I did.

Since you can unlearn stuff and have tons of extra skill points now, pick up novice medic. Each time you make a camp heal yourself in the camp first, then rest and let camp heal the mind dmg from healing and craft stim paks till u have exp for org chem 1.

Once you have org chem 1 you can get action and health wound healing. From then on anytime you set up a campheal your wounds and dmg yourself with medic skills, or better yet setup near someone and tell them to come into camp for some fast healing. You can heal their wounds and damage fast, in the field and get a ton of survival exp fast.

I spend maybe 5 minutes in a camp and get a few hundred survival exp and leave completely healed. If there are people around that need healing you can cap out the survival exp really fast, no one turns down free healing. )

I finally felt brave enough to venture beyond the no build zone last nite. I pitched a tent and kicked back while I healed. Took maybe 7 or 8 minutes... Got 500 XP when I broke camp. Doesn't get muh easier than that! I'll be sure to try tolac's tip tho!
