Now that every dev is looking... When sitting in your comp you can call the little help droid over and over and it counts each time you call him as a new person visiting your camp. I had a camp up for 1 minute and 20 seconds and since i was calling the droid the entire time I made a whopping 600 xp in 1 minute. Finally the help droid helps me do something ^_^ Im posting this purely so that it gets fixed. Flame me for pointing it out if you want. I don't mind.

They know about this. I've already told 'em.

It's on the list to get fixed, but it's not a huge priority.

Woot then I have time to....er..I mean. Well I hope they get it fixed soon ^_^

Gee is there a connection between survival 4 and the lesser loved professions in game?

Oh wait, we are low density...meaning Master Scouts are and have been one the most rare basic professions. I think Master Artisan about ties it. One profession requires Master Scout... the awe inspiring Ranger. (Yes, there are more Jedi than Rangers).

Good news, we get to "exploit" a while longer. Bad news, I know all the tricks, as does Delta. He reported them, I beat on the Devs when it is time.

Psst - craft camps in practice mode while camping once you are done loading up on traps. You get way more xp for that.

Ok, this has stumped me. Do you get more xp for crafting them in practice mode or actually crafting them for future use? Or am I missing something here?

I think the only time I've ever crafted in practice mode and not used it was the first day when learning how to craft.

It's only a 5% bonus when using practice mode.

Scroll down to the "survival xp" part of this thread.

BTW, in the same time it takes for you to call/store a droid (or vehicle) 20 times, I can sit there crafting camps or traps and get more xp than that. Then I disband in 4 minutes with maximum XP, but that's my secret...

I'm not one to promote scout/ranger grinding, but the repeat calling of droids is probably one of the least effective ways to grind it.

Or another popular one is to set patroll points for your droid or beast and have them walk through the camp 70 or 80 times in the amount of time it takes to makes a good ten traps.
