I have been making camps now for 10 straight hours. Break them down every 30mins and put up a new one. Thanks SOE I have had a great excitingdayin the SWG Universe. Good news is I am only 3,000 survival exp from Master Scout. /rude SOE

Oh ya sorry, forgot about the inorganics you have to get as well. But anyways, I am really annoyed with getting this stupid survival xp. I just hit survival III. Have 3k towards 20k needed for survival IV uggh..

after 2hours of midnless camping, I have come to the conclusion that SWG deserves and award fro coming up with the most mind numbing donwtime system of a game to date!!!! I thought EQ recovery was bad inbetween fights post 50.... then along comes survival exp!!!

The way camp exp works is Scouts need to be social groupers.... which does not fit with any image of a scout who tend to be solitary adventurers.

I completely agree with you on this. Scouts shouldn't have to group to get their Survival XP. Its just plain insane to have to do that, doesn't fit with the roleplaying at all, and it is mind numbing. I just hit alt + tab and post on these forums =)!

Still being pretty new, how safe I am in my camp? Is this one of these things I can setup a camp go to work for 7 hours then come back and still be alive. I must admit it is a hard one to get, after every destroy mission I try and setup a camp for 10 minutes or so just to keep adding to the XP before the next mission.

So why don't you all quit being so anti-social and group with people, your camp will max out its experience so much faster with even just 2 people in it, if you have 4 or more you will need to be in it for only about 8 min or so. Also if any of those people are Medics or Entertainers, that too will increase the speed, so quit grinding and start playing the game, it'll be more fun I promise

Trouble is if there is more than one scout in a group (99% of the time there will be), then you get into arguments over who puts up camp heh.

(I'm determined to solo until master )

U gain surv xp faster when ur camp heals wounds, just die once and clone uninsured, u'll have plenty o wounds then. Afther that u only have to have ur camp up about 16 mins (3-4 heal ticks) in order to get almost max xp instead of 30 mins.

Now I have no more wounds cause somebody healed em all (argh) and now I only get 500ish xp when my camp has been up 25 mins, instead of 720ish after 15ish mins.

Funny Story.. Back when I was survival II, I had set up my camp, and was sitting there for about 5 min, and all of a sudden this group of about 8 people started shooting right over my head! I was sitting in the little boys room at the time so I got up to hear what the comotion was and all I see are red laser blasts firing all around me.. so I look around to see a rebel base spawned next to me and these guys were doing a raid. They were there for about 45 min.. they fought from inside my camp and were of course healing the whole time since they were constantly taking damage. Needless to say I got almost a whole tier just from that one incident. It was coooool.

Well, here you go. The *only* way I've found to get that survival xp up there:

I have a 9 year old son who's on summer vacation. So I turn on the computer at 7am, get to a camping spot, and every 45minutes while I'm at work the camp disbands on it's own, I get the full 800pts and he sets up another one. I make ten multiperson camps before logging off the night before for him to use.

LOL!

Sad part is, my survival 4 will be done WAY before my explore and hunting 4. God in HEAVEN, someone tell me how to harvest quicker? In groups all this 'ninja looting' is going on where no matter what you kill, the stuff is being harvested before it hits the ground. I tried making a macro that does /harvest hide , but it didn't work... it harvest the creature so that no harvesting could be done on it afterward, but it never said I harvested it, and never gave me any xp for it either. Can someone help me to get it to work? Is there something better than bocatts (59xp for harvesting) that I can kill to do this quicker and still be fairly safe?

Thanks!

What's your hurry? why not have fun getting there?

I have been playing this game for about 2-3 weeks now and have been working my way up the scout and carbine trees. I also have artisan but only for surveying, i don't intend to be a full time crafter.

I am currently on Trapping4, Explore3, Hunt3 and survival3.

I have never once created a camp unless I or someone else needed it. I sometimes (but not always) put up a camp while samping to help my regen rate.

I have about 3/4 of the xp needed for survival 4 and cannot understand what the problem is here. I have never liked grinding xp and so far i haven't done that in SWG. I can't speak for any other professions but it seems to me that scouts use all of their skills naturally and the xp rolls in without me noticing it.

I do alot of missions because hunting/harvesting/earning cash all seem to go hand in hand, but other times I just roam around solo and hunt whatever happens to be around. Try getting a carbine, that drains your HAM alot quicker than other weapons (this may be a bug, we aren't sure what is being done about it yet). So I tend to camp alot to get rid of my damage/wounds quicker.

Good god... waiting forever to get this survial exp to get my bounty hunter novice is going to take me foverer at best.. Anyone have a good idea for maxing this outt solo?.... it just goes sooooo slow
