Scout Archive

I thought as a Master Scout (Novice Ranger actually) I had the ability to harvest a creature up to 3 times. So far I have not been able to figure out how to do it. Can anyone tell me what i am missing?

Spider,

Not stupid, just confused.

You're mixing up harvesting and foraging.

You can only harvest a creature for hide/bone/meat ONE time. And for only ONE of those options.

As a Master Scout you can forage up to 3 times PER forage, but this is currently bugged. The most you can pull is 2 right now.

I wrote a similiar answer to a thread earlier today, but I can't seem to find it now.

The problem is that one of the loading screens describes harvesting in the way the original poster mentions...well, sorta. It claims that on one creature, one scout can harvest the meat, another the bone and another the hide.

The screen may have been taken out (haven't paid attention), but it was in there for at least 3 weeks after release.

Thanks for the clarification

ActuallyI heard that too... fairly recently in an interview, I believe. That if three scouts are grouped, and they kill a critter, then one can harvest the meat, one can harvest the bone, and one can harvest the hide (if the critter has all three, of course). The proportion of resources extracted and scout xp received will be less than if they were solo, however, but closer to 2/3 than 1/3, so there is still a benefit to group-hunting.

Zephyr,

When the 60% rule is initiated then every scout in every group can harvest whatever they want from the creatures. The only get 60% of the XP and resources, though. But they can harvest hide/meat/bone and it doesn't matter who else harvested. That may have been what you read about.
