I would like to add. For me harvesting Rancors (all kinds) for 800-1600 xp in a group of 20 was the fastest way for those skills.

i dunno about anyone else, but i could only get one lot of scout xp per creature and it was only ever no more than 240 for eranged rancors. the xp did trickle in but it wasn't a torrent. i found that either kam defiliers or rancors of various types have me 900-1500 scout/trap xp per hit, plus a load of hide and bone for the camping grind. I've done all of ranger bar wilderness 2-4 in a couple of days playing.


plus it was fun taking on enraged rancors in a group. has anyone seen the 'monsterous brute' rancor? it spawned out of a nest with a lot of enraged bull rancors. didn't have greatly increased stats over a normal bull rancor. it went down just as easy. nice name thou

I have been playing my Ranger/Rifleman for about two weeks now and am at 4-3-3-3. Not by grinding but by going out with my guildmates having fun and opening cans of whoopass on Endor.


Much more rewarding than opening a FS slot. They love me for the Field Bases and the camo

Camping exp - 3 hours 15 minutes.

You will require the following (I bought mine, hide at around 5cpu, bone at 4cpu and metal at 2cpu):

40,000 units of hide

25,000 units of bone

14,000 units of metal

4 generic crafting tools

Pitch your tent and start crafting the most advanced camps that you can make. Disband and rebuild your camp every 20 minutes.






Hmm, let's see: you change your camp every twenty minutes. In 3 hours 15 minutes that means that you build about 10 camps. How can you possibly master the 4 skillboxes with 10 camps, when each camp gives you about 800 - 1200 Camping XP but for the last box alone you need about 65.000?

Tell me that...

Do you not know that crafting the tents using all the resources he mentioned will gain you a high amount of camping xp? I did this method to get through the tree though I spaced my grinding out over several weeks and nto one play session.

Crafting Traps gives survival XP too, not much, but some.,

It's called "grinding" in the artisan sense of the word. Why do you think he specified 4 crafting tools? The experience points you get from actually camping is pretty insignificant compared to the amount you get from building tents as fast as you can.
