*smiles* you could always fish, and then sell the meat to your nearest bioengineer. You get about 100+ xp for every fish you catch. Check out the scout forum for a guide to powerfishing.

If you get a fair numbers of visitors in your camp you can get over 600 exp pts in 10 minutes. Don't always wait 30.


Making Survival Experience 01
Easy way to make survival/camp experience
This macro repeats itself every 5 minutes and stops you from getting logged off while afk
Put the macro in toolbar slot 1 (toolbarSlot00)
Put tents in toolbar slots 2-24 (toolbarSlot01-23)
Stand up (so you forage or survey)
Start the macro by hitting the 'f1' key

The macro itself:
/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 5;/forage;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;/pause 5;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;/pause 5;
/ui action toolbarSlot04; /pause 5;
/ui action toolbarSlot05; /pause 5;/forage;
... repeat to function key 24 (toolbarSlot23)
/pause 300;
/shout come enjoy a warm campfire at -147 -5158;
/ui action toolbarSlot00

The pattern from Slot 01 to 05 is repeated.
You can substitue /medicalforage or /survey for /forage as needed
You can use a shout line to entice visitors (I also use large pets on patrol - people are nosy and will check it out)
The pause is to put some time in before the macro restarts, afk logoff takes 10-15 minutes so 300 (5 minutes) is a good time for the macro to repeat. The ui action command seems to get rid of the game logging you out due to inactivity.
The last line restarts the macro until you logout or type /dump.
When you are going to be at the campsite and not afk all day use large camps since you get points faster and can destroy them and make a new one on the fly.
When you are afk all day use small camps since they decay (large ones do not seem to anymore).

You lost me...wasen't this thread supposed to be about Survival XP? and not the kirfing Jedi punks? Just wondering

i think i get it, the jedi stuff is your sig...

and the answer to your survival question is i dont know...probably because you could macro it and forage for days and days and max out the survival lines easily.

I think the devs are making you go camping

Yes the jedi stuff is my sig...... just figured since you were foraging for that would be kinda like survival....

I started this lastnight. Bought 2-3k of bone and hide, placed the right schematic number in my medic/armorsmith crafting macro and went to town. I got half of Survival IV in 30 minutes, if even that.

Jedi,

Yes- the camp tracks the total number of visitors (not including you). So if they come in and then leave, you'll get the same credit, but not as much sa if they came in, stayed and healed.

Well, it has been two weeks since I mastered and forgot to follow up. Ummm, took 6 hours for the entire ranger survival tree to do (crafting). It took about 3 hours to do the entire trapping tree. And two hunts on dath for the other two trees. So, about 4 days of casual levelling got me master ranger. Now that I"m here, I started a new account. My alt is now BE 2-4-1-2 and Scout 4-1-4-1. It'll be mastered in both so I can poke rancor butts without detection. My main will drop ranger, again, in favor of a good PvP template. TKA has beennerf'd to the point that it isn't worthy of PvP in most measures.

Watch your xp on the skill page and you'll see it go up.

You wont get a message about it from crafting though.
