I got to school and attend many afterschool clubs... and only play 3-4 hours a day. I can't get survival experence. It takes to long, and is way to boring.

Assuming it isnt illegal, how do you set up an AFK macro for camps

Larson,

That hurts. I'm sorry.

Do a forum search for "macro" on the Scout boards and you'll find it.

Hey, it's not the destination, it's the journey.

Chill, take a deep breath. Go read some posts on how NOT to get scout. One clown on the Ranger forum is grinding, and never ever learned to disband his camp. Yes, I flamed him. Don't grind. Have fun.

btw, the OBX rock, too bad I am stuck inland

thanks ill run that serach

You know...i am grinding survival right now (im 4/4/4/3) and I plop'ed down a camp 400m from the Coronet starport (just outside the south entrance). I had people stop by non-stop....just hanging out and chatting in my camp. At one point there were 9 people sitting around the camp fire....people that i didnt even know. Yah...I am sitting in camp and making practice camps (which give so little xp)...but what I learned from this the most is that placing camps in heavily populated areas makes the grind a bit easier when you actually meet new people and stuff.

Building traps while camping gives additional survival xp also.

Fishing also gives you money in the pocket, unlike campgrinding.

I fished my way through the first two boxes of Ranger without even knowing it. Then I sold the meat for 80k.

Now the new player will just have to learn to kill countless npc's hoping for bait as loot...

Can't buy it. They are usually too poor.

Wait, forage for it! Is there xp in foraging?

Dude.. you want boring try Image Design where first you have to find someone willing to let you ID them and then you finish and get 25XP.

I have been building survival by just hunting in groups and always setting up camp as the group goes into combat and being there for the ones who need it. Then I drop camp when the group starts moving on and repeat. I get Xp and cash for the missions and I am a passive participant of the hunt providing a need. I was also an entertainer/medic so I could heal people in camp as well - bonus.

BUt yeah.. the fishing works as mentioned above and I have acquired bait from checking out logs and nests as I run by them going on missions.

Whats the rush man? Just play the game, camp when you need to, and you'll eventually get there. You got a deadline or something?

the fun part of being a scout is to do a "walkabout"...just travel from one side to the other. make a few camps, chat with people, wink at a dancer. the sky's the limit....(or is it the limit's the sky?)

*grin*

I agree with you Hakai, which is probably why my scout is still not a master even though I've been playing him since the first week. However, some people view Scout in general, and Survival in particular, as just a hurdle in their path to something else. In any case the best thing is to enjoy the journey, but that oftenseems impossible to the ultra-achiever mindset.

The NumLock key? <looks over at how long he's been playing> Doh!
