well i went from trapping 1 to 4 in about an hour, how do i do this?

i picked up this little probot, quite the wonder.

So heres what to do,

wander around with a good supply of every trap you can make

find a red, have the probot tank it, start trapping, this way each trap used on it gives around 340 exp. If the bot dies, just peace before so the red dont come after you, set up camp bring back probot, rinse repeat. going from 3-4 only took 10 mins prolly once you have all your traps set up. It actually took me longer to find someone to teach me the skills then it did to achieve them. Its a added bonus to get the large amount of scouting exp from these reds corpses too.

Probots are the way to go,

Never heard of that way, but it sounds good. Personally I have a way too....

Get a bunch of traps, then find a creature that is really slow and really big, pretty much anything that you can kite effectively (I prefer Leviasqualls, and Dune Banthas). So throw a wiremesh trap, (as these are the kind that you can through multiple times and still get xp for each throw), and then keep kiting themuntil your traps run out (I usually carry quite a few). After you run out of traps, either kill it using a ranged weapon by kiting it... or hit peace while running away and it will eventualy stop chasing you.

So you don't lose your droid if he dies?

Nope. Probots come back after they've been killed. don't traps fail more often on higher level creatures? I'd figure on something red enough to really power level traps you'd fail more than 75% of the time.

My droid is my best friend. Go to dantooine - huurton stalkers yield 480 scout xp per trap thrown. Have thedroid tank - then yoiks and away!!!

Great...this will wind up nerfing either Probots or Trapping. Either one sucks. Why can't people just play the game rather than worry about powerleveling!?

I'd make one change:

Wire Mesh Traps get exp every time you throw them, so just make a bunch of them, and keep throwing until you're out of Action points.

Other traps won't work if the effect from the previous trap of the same kind is still working on the creature.

This is how some people play the game. Just play the way you want to play, and leave other people alone.

Sheesh... nothing better to do today?

Nope - all I do is troll these boards. My point was that bragging about this kind of powerleveling on these boards will likely nerf us all. If this is how you want to "play" the game, so be it. But when it starts to impact other people (like the /scentmask fiasco did), then I think everyone has the right to weigh in on it.

1) You're a scout, and you don't know it's "/maskscent"?
2) "everyone has the right to weigh in" -- yep, don't forget that people talking about the way to level are weighing in too.

OMG...I made a typo!?! Thanks for pointing that out. Wow...I never said anyone should take their comments elsewhere, just expressed my opinion. If you don't like it, tough. Just because I'm not a l33t uber powerleveler doesn't mean I can't disagree with their manner of "playing".

Gee another cheap exploit. Now, what will the result of this one be? You got your trapping IV. Congrats, lamer, but now what? They will have to nerf trapping to keep others from using this lame exploit.

Thanks a bunch. First you exploiters force them to nerf forage, then you exploiters force them to nerf maskscent. Now you are working on Trapping.

How will you manage to get them to nerf scouting? I await your answer with bated breath.

My bet is they nerf the Probots and pets first - make them like faction pets, so they have a permadeath associated with them. There are already calls for this all around, so this would give them one more excuse.
