Must camp, need sleep.

LOL I feel for ya, I'm almost there myself.

The longest last stretch you will ever make... Have fun camping.

Why is it that I have the opposite problem?
I have everything but Wayfairing...

Where are you people powering up your scout xp????

Wow, have fun getting that last one. Do you try to figure out the math too? Let's see, if you can get 800-1000 xp per caming experience, you'll only need something like 75-95 good camps. Hahaha. I do that for Creature Handler sometimes. "Only 123 more creatures to tame and I can go up a level!" Oh the grind....

Scout XP has been the easiest.

Get a good fast gun, head to a start town. I used Tatooine.

Run circles around the town killing/skinning all the Rills, Worrts, Rats and you can make 5-10k in an hour this way. Im a pistoleer and with a scout blaster I can one shot everything out there at an amazing speed.

Yeah figure about 75 camps at 10 minutes or so per camp(thats if you have a friend with you) so only 750 minutes to go! Or, 12.5 hours Oh the pain....Ironically, at this rate, you'll probably max out your camping cp about the same time the patch gets implemented and you can get alternative Survival XP lol.

I'm telling you peeps... you guys all complain that macro-camping sucks.. but I've been using HTFB for over a week now... and I will fully admit that I did 99% /afk.

Sad... but true.

I got lucky today, I guess. Headed out to Lok just after getting novice ranger, and managed to join 3 large groups, two of which I was the sole camp person for. Made a total of 7k survival xp today.

yep tthe same here I only need camp 3 and 4 and wayfaring 4

Well never thought I'd ask this but with Frontiering IV looming large on my screen I'm thinking of macroing it while I'm AFK.

I haven't made one macro since owning this game so I'm really very unsure how to do this.

Can someone do a "newbie guide" to camp macroing, please?

Since last patch it's almost impossible to macro if you want to do it fast.

a FBK maxes out at 20minutes if you're alone. 1134 XP is the cap so unless you want to sit around for an hour for it to disband automaticlyuntill you can put a new one up.

However I do use a looped sample macro to gather the metals/polymer I burn through each day.

Here's what you can do to make a looping sample macro. As example were gonna be using the first slot on one of your hotbars. When you're done move the icon one slot and the loop will stop.

---

/stand; /sample; /pause 3; /sit; /pause 28;

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

---

Create a new macro, pick an appopiate icon for it and type the exact text into the textfield.

10-20 minutes? Bah, I had to wait 30+ minutes with wounds to get full camp xp. I am not sure who suffered more - me in my camp, or my friends who I bugged via tells for a lot of the time. Actually I found myself surfing the net a lot during those long tedious hours.
