If I take wayfaring I and use camo kits (for the 3 planets you get with I) will you get more scouting xp then just using mask scent?


I am debating if I should wait on the wayfaring tree till after I finish the tracking tree, but if camo kits wield more xp then I might just go that route first.

You can get more xp because you can conceal others as well and when they get xp you get their xp on top of yours as well.

Actually, you DO get scouting XP when your concealment protects others, but it is less than the amount you get if maskscent (or conceal) protects you yourself (I don't believe there is any difference for the amount you get from your own).
HOWEVER, you can only get scouting XP for concealing from each creature once, so if you are travelling at the front of a group and you get, say 36 scouting XP for concealing yourself from a rogue bagaraset, and then your camo conceals all the members of your group from that same critter, you do not get the xp for each of them being concealed.

The Scout XP you get from using Camo is 2/3rd the Scout XP you'd get from using Mask Scent vs. the same critter.

Arachne Webmasters on Endor give 120 Scout XP if you run past 'em with Mask Scent, but only 80 Scout XP if you run past 'em with Camo.

do those xps stack 120 + 80 = 200 in your example?

/maskscent and /conceal are mutually exclusive..



  • Meaning you can only have one active at a time.

Therefore you would only receive experience for one or other, but never both.
