um. u guys are a bit misinformed. ill try and clarify. u absolutely do not need any artisan skill to craft any scout/ranger items ever. as far as getting a lot of failures i find that hard to believe, i rarely fail; perhaps u have a really crappy crafter youre using- crafter quality is very important when calculating success rate. nothing craftable on the scout/ranger tree has any stat quality requirements with the exception of camo kits, and then only for the purpose of stack size. there is no such thing as a high quality trap, camp, etc. they are all the same. not quite sure but my opinion is that its meant to be this way so u can sell/trade the high quality organics u harvest and use the junk to make traps, camps, etc. crafting scout/ranger stuff does not earn u general crafting xp it earns u survival xp. every ranger trying to grind up the survival tree for master knows this. on a sidenote fishing also earns u survival xp. as far as making money off of organics beleive me it is very possible. i dont even bother with missions anymore. theyre a waste of time and effort. besides mission lairs spawn differently than natural lairs. a ranger who is worth his salt can milk a natural lair for at least 2.5 times the creatures u can get from a mission lair.with harvesting skill before they gave master rangers the boost and changed group dynamics rangers could harv about 30% morethan master scouts. after theharvest changes the bonus a master ranger gets, especially when grouped with another master ranger, is enormous.as far as the money is concerned consider this. my last hunting trip brought me to dathomir for an avian meat spawn. this was pre-cu so avian was still highly desirable by docs and fetching 125cpu on the open market. as im a nice guy and dont believe in gouging my fellow players i sold mine for 100cpu. i farmed the spawn for 3 days. approximately one buff a day. might have got an extra one in there. i ended up with 160k of dath avian meat at 100cpu thats 16 million credits. in 3 days. lets just say the solo nerf didnt effect me at all because i never needed to get in a solo grp to make a living. anyway i hope this cleared things up for u guys. hope i got it in before the flames hit u. good luck young rangers and remember. practice, practice, practice.
