Well, I am 3/4 up the Persuasion FS tree and I am going to get caught short on Enhanced Senses XP.
I am going to take the Terrain Nego line during the nerf conversion. I am curious to know what the veteran scouts think will be the easiest tree to "grind" XP in, harvesting or camping? I can only take one line, or 2 in each line based on what I have available to respec.
I am looking for advice on what is "easiest" to grind XP in. By easiest, I mean best balance between amount of time and amount of effort for the fastest XP gain. I only have one more box to fill, and it sure would be nice to get it knocked out as quickly but mindlessly as possible.
Thanks for your time and thoughts.

Bueller? Anyone?
Well I did some testing, and seem to get pretty good XP from harvesting. The critters around the SP alone were giving pretty fast XP.
I only seem to get survival XP from craftin camps. I had a multi-person camp up for 35 minutes with 5 visitors, and got absolutely 0 xp for it. Am I screwing this up?
Please let me know what your advice is. I have not had scout skills since I was complete noob to the game over a year ago.
Thanks.

There won't be any camping XP (survival) in the CU, so scout XP (harvesting) is your only option.
Wilderness survival (camping, fishing, trap and camp crafting) was removed and set to 0, although it still exists in your list of mods. Any Survival XP you currently have will be converted to Scout XP post CU.
The survival lines now require scout XP. I'm guessing the Wilderness survival FS trade at the village will be removed as an option. If it's still listed, it doesn't matter since there are no longer ways to gain survival XP.

Also, in the game as-is Scouting XP gained doesn't depend on Hunting level ... kill the same creature, get the same XP. Can anybody confirm for post-CURB? Since you'll have high Exploration, you don't need Hunting unless you're looking to increase yield, if that's the case...
