i normally dont wine about stuff being to hard but scouting xp is.It shouldnt take a total of 25 hours of play for a novice pistoleer to get 15000 xp.I like chalaneges but this isnt a challenge,its just a long,drawn-out,boring process.Once i get hunting 4(so i can qualify for bio-engineer),im never trying for scout xp ever again.It just takes too long.Its harded to get 5000(my remainang xp to hunting 4) scouting xp than it is to complete the entire organic chemestry tree.In fact all the xp for scouts is too hard.Well not hard just too boring.I wish the devs would find a way to make scout more exciting and maybe even more challenging.I tell ya if i didnt want bio-engineer so bad,id drop scout all together.There should be better and more traps

Um... read the stickied post by Brisc at the top of the forum.


I really don't see what the problem is. I max'd scouting xp second, both trees, right after traps. Its the camping that takes forever.


Also, you are whining to the wrong people. Go to the BE forum and ask them to change your profession. We like ours like it is.

If you are pistoleer, all you need to do is get into a hunting group and skin everything the group kills. You should have xp in no time.

I went though the last two levels of exploration and hunting in about an hour and a half hunting on Endor.

Scouting is easy if you get the heck off the starter planets.


Go to Dantooine, get out your vehicle, cast mask scent, and start driving. Seriously. Scouting is probably the easist skill to get, followed by camping.
Spend some time killing stuff and you'll get even more Scouting.



Having said that, go complain about the scouting requirement in the BE forums. Maybe you can get it changed. But don't complain here. We like our broken skills the way they are, thankyouverymuch.

Have to agree with the posters who are not the originator of the thread. Scout is extremely easy to get. We had a scout in our hunting party (3 of us hunting on dantooine) last night. He went from 2-1-2-1 to 4-3-2-2 in a couple of hours, and that was with a couple of breaks to go off planet to load up on some stims and such.


And surival exp is easy too. When you're resting at your camp, break out the crafting tool and practice on some camp kits. You get exp for crafting camp kits and traps as well.


Amazingly easy class to master.

Everyone is talking about going to Endor and Dantooine. Heck I did all of mine on Naboo and Tatooine and it still didn't take THAT long. Plus it's fun to me.

this is a joke right? You can make 30k scout xp an hour just riding your speeder bike with mask scent around Dathomir.

this solution is simple.... I get tons of scouting exp plus trapping exp by just joining a group hunt in dantooine. If you join a group that hunts vorts those give about 900 exp per. so you should be able to nail exploration 1-4 and hunting 1-4 in about 2-3 hours, depending if you with a good group.

I think scouting XP is really easy to get. I havetwo scouts(Intrepid and Bloodfin) whoare rapidly approaching master. I hadn't even intended to follow the scout tree on Bloodfin. I just picked it up to make some extra cash (harvesting critters) as I worked to master brawler (holo 1). I've ended up progressing just as quickly with scout (masking scent, harvesting, camping to heal between fights) as I have with brawler. I just picked up medic, and now it even goes faster. I wait to camp when I'm down to almost 0 action, use a bunch of stims, forage until it won't let me anymore, use more stims, and voila 350 survival xp in about 5 min.

Too bad I loathe technology (except my laser rifle) or I could be getting tons of XP.


Oh well, back to me, my feet, my clothes, and my rifle.
