Inky,

While its true a Ranger can camo him up and send him on his way I'm pretty sure that if it breaks or wares off allong the way he can't reapply it himself.

I'd encouragehim to master the Wayfairing skill tree.He might like whathe finds enough to take on Tracking next. Thenhe can use AreaTrack it find whathe's looking for. It's nice...very nice.

With the changes to bio engineer, I need to sample dna from some of the nastiest things in the game. When mask scent breaks I’m dead so I was thinking of getting into ranger for the camouflage boost. And I think tracking may be useful too any advice for a BE with almost no skill points to spare.

Well, you don't need to get ranger in order to conceal yourself. If you find a ranger willing to help you out, we have the ability to apply a camo kit to you (or any non Ranger/Scout for that matter).

So, we can camo you up, and you can save your skill points, and do your BE thing .

I definatley agree with ya Nova, i'm not saying he shouldn't master the wayfaring skill tree, im just giving some alternatives. If you got the skill points, go for it. I will definatley help you out. I was just saying if you found a ranger willing to do so (such as me) I wouldn't mind comming along with you, camo'ing you up when you needed it, and even giving an /areatrack every now and then to make sure there are no aggro mobs up ahead of us.

It would probably be better to find a Ranger to come with. Pay him a bit to conceal and areatrack for you. Save the skill points. The camo kits are fairly worthless, IMHO. Areatrack is awesome, but I think your skill points would be better used elsewhere and it would also help you avoid the scouting grind now that Maskscent no longer gives XP.

"now that Maskscent no longer gives XP."

Interesting... When did that happen?

Does it no longer give exp, or did you just hit the exp cap without realizing it?

I was able to gain XP for /maskscent this morning after the big Wednesday patch. So unless they changed something while I was at work, as far as I know, it still gives Scouting XP.

Probably does give XP, but that Master Ranger capping tends to work quick.

I knew i read something in the patch notes about /Maskscent not giving xp anymore. I just checked the notes and i copied this directly from them.....

Scouts

You can no longer gain scout xp by using scentMask vs. creatures in an interior (when you are outside, or in a different part of the interior).

So maybe somebody read this and misunderstood what it said.

I have been using mask scent and my speederbike to get get mega scout xp with no worries and no groups. On Dath running around the rancor valley I was picking up around 35k xp and hour, I just put dismount, mask scent, and mount on my toolbar and when it would break drive to a safe area and hit the 3 keys. I got at least 150k this way.

Only time it back fired was when a nightsister force choked me off the bike, which was kinda cool to experience. She incapped me but didnt kill me. Other than nightsisters I seemed to be untouchable on the bike.

I suspect this will be nerfed soon, as it makes getting wayfaring and tracking way to easy.
