Hi folks,
Been a Ranger for about a week now and thanks to the double xp stuff I have made it to 2/2/3/0 nicely - despite my inability to make a trap stick to anything, I am having a great deal of fun. I have some questions about camps though, just a couple of things that I have noticed while setting up camps for my groups. I can build and deploy Field Base Kits at the moment, which look very cool, but I was wondering a couple of things:
- I am using fairly standard resources to make the camps, is there any benefit to using better quality resources (hides, bones etc)?
- If there is a benefit to using better resources, can camps be experimented on?
- I've noticed that my camps fail to repel hostile (red) mobs quite spectacularly- Voritors kept wandering in two nights ago and attacking us, and last night it was Cannibal Dewbacks that just trotted in an killed us all ... is there a way I can improve my camps such that they repel creatures? What sort of level creatures can I expect to repel being in a camp (the dewbacks were CL82 if I recall)
- Is there any way that I can create camps that improve the rate of healing, or quality of buffs (inspiration and otherwise) ? (again this might boil down to using better resources!)
Thanks for any help!

the oq of the resources used when crafting your camps have no effect on the camp its self, you cannot expeirment when making them either, if i remember the repel mod for camps was nerfed quite a while back which is a shame really, the only way to improve the healing effect in the camp is to have healers in there with you..

Hello and welcome,
1) -- Quality of resources don't affect camps, nor can they be experimented on.
Only camo kits can be experimented on, but it only results in a larger stack of kits -- power or quality isn't affected on camo kits, and only OQ matters.
2) -- Despite the description, unfortunately camps do not repel hostiles.
3) -- The rate of healing for camps is a fixed rate. The HTFB has a healing rate of 1.0, the same as sitting in a hospital.

I seem to recall that the description of the other ranger camps mentions the ability to repel low level creatures, but, unfortunately, this has never worked to my knowledge. I remember hearing a story about the devs taking a hunting trip, and being surprised when their HTFB didn't repel a creature. Apparently, they didn't know it was broken.

Even though the descriptions state otherwise, no camps have ever repelled creatures.
