I think that making camps for hours on hours has NOTHING TO DO WITH SCOUTING this also interfeers with Bountyhunter. Most starwars fans think right when they get this bountyhunter and jedi. bountyhunter should have nothing to do with making camps the trapping seems fair but please have u ever seen jango or bobba using a camp? i think they should revamp survival what do u think?

hey you know what? how about we just let you be a bounty hunter when you begin the game? that way everyone will be uber, and then we can move on to the next part of the agenda, bitching that everyone is the same!!!!!!


At least you're playing when everything is getting evened out.....this is NOTHING like the beginning. At least you can friggin craft to get the xp...back then we didn't even know what the hell a macro was!@

To speed along your survival experiance you should remeber that you get survival xp for crafting camps and traps. You also get more xp if you practice.

It's not hard at all. And it's not long.


You can get through all of survival three in less than three hours if you've got a good stack of hide and bone, a 4 crafting tool macro and a couple of friends who don't mind sitting with you while you do it. Helps to be on teamspeak, so its not too boring.


Read my guide for more tips.

im been playing the game a little less then 4 weeks. and just got survival 4 today. someone gave me the marco but i never firgured out how to use it. I camped while i did other things in real life. after 23 mins or so i would come and change my camp site. Never seemed all that hard. Watch tv for a few hours and get plenty of xp. So i see nothing wroing with it. Just how i feel.

Camping is only too long if you attempt to grind through Scout without any regard for the profession itself (BHs mostly). If you go up Scout by hunting, solo or with some friends you'll get scouting XP from the maskscent and harvesting aplenty, you'll get trapping XP from the pre-fight (you DO use traps a lot don't you? They really are quite useful) and you'll get survival XP from the regeneration post-fight. The first time I mastered Scout
(beta) I had survival IV done as my first finished tree (I miss the days where the group would sit and camp just to be social). The second time during retail I went up all trees about equally quick, and yesterday I mastered it again from 4040 without being very bored at all.


If you want real camping fun: go Ranger. First time I mastered that I played naturally (though the need to camp was very low compared to beta) and I ended upbeing a 4244 and had great fun because of it. I was the first guy on my server to put up a Field Base Kit outside Coronet and we had ourselves a heap of fun every night just grinding away at crafting and chatting among one another. If you're not having fun with camping: you're doing it wrong.

(I'm currently starting Ranger a second time, god knows why, and Frontiering I will actually be the first box I have XP for)



So no.. Scout survival is not too long. You just didn't play like a Scout, you played through Scout like a fighter without any regard for the potential of the skills we achieve. Ranger survival is arguably too long. I believe had the need to camp been as present as it used to be in beta, you would be able to play through the entire class naturally and go up the trees equally fast. As it is now, it's much more likely you'll hardly have any survival done by the time you make wayfaring and tracking.

Sigh..yet another wanna be Bounty Hunter who is whining about camping.


Bet he didn't read the sticky at the top of the forum on how to do camping quicker.


Really wish BH had nothing to do with Scout so they would stop coming in here and freaking whine likethe spoiled little **edit**z they are.


Wait until he hit investigations. He will really whine.


And what do you think Jango and Bobba (who in all actuallity are the same person) do when they are out in the weeds looking for a mark and they must rest - check into a Holiday Inn?


dumbazz- go whine on the BH forum
