Hi my friends
I think that camo is largely better than maskscent. At Master level the duration is cleary higher, the effect is higher too. Aside this it happeded sometimes to be detected by a krettle on tatooine ... 
With the camo on I can shot 3 times head3 before the animal realizes to be attacked. I use it against animals up to level 25 and I can get them in a super fast way. Think a Bantha Matriarch, level 25. With a good rifle u can get it with 4-5 head3. I attack it first when there are no bulls around and I get it for free ... Without the camo I have to use the concealed shot that isn't so effective as head3.
The opportunity to camo freinds is really great. When u hunt in group having a friend attacked is worste than have him concealed!
The best I could get was 9 charges. Does anyone got a better result in the charge?

Just posting to confirm what Beri is saying. You are capped at +25 even though the display lists higher.
You can confirm this rather easily with camoflauge. Make a kit using a specialized general tool at a public or private crafting station. You will only have six experimentation points.
(I helped confirm this cap and how the Bothan bonuses figured into skills a loooong time ago when we were having this same discussion by testing with experimentation.)

You can use Ranger experimentation to increase the quality of the camo. When you do this, the charges go up. I frequently get camos with 12-16 charges, though it does depend on the quality of the meat/hide/bones you are using. (I am at work and am uncertain of the actual number, but I am positive it is in the double digits)

A quick question for Seiryuu: are there maskscent or camo AAs or CAs? I never use them so I cannot remember if I ever saw one in a vendor.
There are, but it is much easier to get clothes with BE tissues in them. With two pieces of clothing your skill will be at +25, with room for some other tissues possibly.

That just affects the number of charges you receive. The higher the percentage, the more charges. The reason I say that is because I have never noticed a difference in the rate of having my camo broken when I just scoop up the materials needed and make a quick kit compared to when I drop my HTFB and experiment to increase charges.

i had a quick question that I think would fit in here. Does the quality of the camo kit effect anything. I.e. when I craft them i get around 18%, does this mean it would be less effective than say an 81%?

As for which I use? It largely depends on the planet for me it seems. On endor, /maskscent almost never breaks. Don't fix it if it's not broken right?On Dathomir, It seems /camo works better for me, so Iusually go with that, when I am on my feet and running with some pals. IF I am on my speeder or mount I will just /mask till i get where I am going though. So I guess I rely more on /mask overall. Excepting dath (master ranger required for camo kit) like on Dantooine, I'll offer to other rangers if in group if they want to /camo me...for that scouting xp
Hmmmmm, interesting.
I always use /maskscent and /conceal of group members... However, you gave me an idea. Next time I go planet hopping (for updating SWG-Craft) I'll be testing what and where works best.
Thanks Camina !

Yes, finally I got 15 charges on a dathomirian camo kit. It's a matter of stats of the resources and yes I always do experiments on it in the high quality field base
See you!
