I don't know if its been mentioned before, but the High Tech Field Base gives no exp. I know to anyone with Frontieering IV it doesn't matter. However, you are able to use these camps at lvl 3 if others make them for you, and depending on how many skill enhancers you have that give +camping then you could use them even earlier.

Yeah, I noticed that too. What's wierd is that with most things, you can still gain XP regardless of the skill you currently possess for that XP type. Take Scouting XP for example, I have 100,000 Scouting XP eventhough I am now a Master Ranger. Same thing goes for Teras Kasi, I have 900,000 XP in reserve. Maybe they simply forgot about it. But then it's still not all that important, the Field base kit does basically the same thing and saves you on resources. I mean the only bonus you get is that it doesn't disband as easily (from my experience), gives a 0.05 bonus to healing, and has an additional crafting station.

No you can not give higher level camps to lower level scouts or rangers. They dont have the skill to deploy it. That is the reason behind in getting trained in Frontering. You need to learn how to set it up and deploy it.

Well you can apply scouting experience to other skills. But camping is unique. Perhaps thats the reason.

I tested this the other night on an exercise. You cannot give this camp to a lesser ranger to deploy. I tried giving one to a frontieer 1 ranger and a survival 4 scout and neither were able to deploy it....

not true, usually you can *use* a camp one tier before you can make it, i handed a friend 20 improved camps so he could get from surv2 to 4, i dont recall if he had to wait till surv3 to use tho, but those require master scout if i recall, or at least surv4

The high tech field base is a nice campbut considering it doesn't give you experience you SHOULD be able to fight in it without the risk of it being abandoned and the creature repelling percentage should be higher than it is.

Make sure you /bug it.

Also, the High Tech camp doesn't heal wounds or keep MOb's out. I /bugged that myself.

Neither does the High Quality camp.

I sat down next to crazed durni's....they are green to me. The came right in and began to attack me....camp disbanded due to it too....

Yup...I see how THAT repels aggressives. (And no, I didn't try to shoot the durni's first etc)
