15k?

Well I suppose that depends on where you hunt right?

Bella Vistal, Correlia - 5k tops (for them darn butterflies). 2 - 3k for the Durnis (easy to find and easy kill).

So, where do you hunt? And what are you huntin'?

Aram,

I was getting the 10-15k ones on Naboo...carnivorous nunas and spinelflap soldiers.

I'm sorry, it's a little late at night for me to scan every post to see if this has been mentioned, so if it has I appologize.

My friend mentioned the new hunting missions and that I should try one, especially since I was working on CH xp by killing newbie mobs around the city anyway. Since I was on Naboo, I picked a chuba mission. Kill 45 for 4k credits. Sounds nice. I run around with my cupa shooting and then having it attack (btw, if you have your pet kill it by itself, it doesn't get counted towards your mission, possibly should be changed IMO) I kept a watch on how many chubas I had kill and had left to kill, unfortunately halfway through the mission I had to sign off. I signed back on tonight, and since I had logged out in the field, I stood up and shot a nearby chuba. "You have 44 chubas left to kill"..... 44? So wait, now it's saying I only killed one, after killing 20 yesterday?? I figured these missions would carry over like the normal missions do when you log out, but I guess not. It's kind of annoying, and I really wish I had known before. I just thought I should mention this to give everyone else a heads up, and also hope I'm not the only one slightly annoyed with it so maybe it gets changed. Again, sorry about the rambling... neeed sleep.... ;-)

Brann,

I've had no problems with the recon missions.

And some of the hunting missions, for me at least, are worth 15k or more.

You may have just caught two buggy missions.

Ah, I actually did mean to mention that I was only killing flesh-eating chubas, since they were the actual missions (I just call them chubas to save time, sorry :-) ) It happened again today, and I decided to test something else. I got a second hunting mission, flesh-eating chubas again, and killed some more of them. Odd thing is, instead of going through one mission and then starting the next, my first kill would go to the first mission, second kill to the second, and so on, so basically the kills were going back and forth. And of course letting your pet do the killing still doesn't count towards your hunting mission, and I kinda think it should. I mean, when my creature helps me destroy a lair for a destroy mission, I still get credit regardless. Well, at least these missions don't have worse bugs attached to them, but now we know they at least have some. :-P

I've yet to get exp from Mask Scent, but it does work. I've had tusk cats spawn on me and not been attacked (but had to be checked in for heart tramua!!), but never have had an exp update. I'm relatively new, and never had mask scent before the last patch, so I don't mind not getting exp, but it'd be nice to hear from the devs one way or another if it is. Even still, I think it's worth it to run under mask scent now, I haven't been agroed from yellows breaking it, and it works well enough to have a second chance to not have mah lekku chewed on by a mean ol' kitty.

Well, still getting same results form MS. Only things on Tatooine that agro on me are the canibal Dewbacks. Not all of them, but one in a while one or two will come investigate, then attack me. Again, no message about MS getting broken/canceled. And yes I /bugged it.

Camping: I have tried my Improved kit, and the multiperson. Both seem to be gaining xp faster then before. With no healing and no visitors, I get max xp in about 15-20 minutes. I forget to check on the multiperson, but my Improved camp kit did say it's healing rate was .75. Which is higher then the .65 they all had before, another change they said would be with update. Good job devs.

Also, no more pick up for camp status diplay. Fine with me.

My traps seem to do a little better, lasting a little longer, hitting more often on the yellows and reds. Also, I could be thinking this wrong, but I think I get more trapping xp from traps now.

Thats all for now.
