i was wondering if there was a macro that i could run to get camping and surival xp. I will NOT be sing it afk, just too lazy to disband camp and re-start one

if anyone has a macro plz place below..thx

Mordor,

There are about a zillion of 'em floating around the forum. However, none of them are going to be as worthwhile as you disbanding the camp yourself.

The current macro is really only good for AFK camping, and even then it's not that great, as it relies on the 55 minute auto-disband. In the time your AFK macro is working you could have gotten 10 times the XP using the other methods described here or in my guides.

Do a quick search for "camping macro", and it'll pop up. You can also use the "trap macro" in my Scout guide for camping too.

There is a *much* better way of getting xp -- find a group.

Every person in the camp reduces the time it takes to maximize your xp. It is the only one I know numbers on, so I will use the first camp given under Ranger.

It takes 30 minutes by myself in this camp to get the full 1020 xp. (You can get a little more out of it if wounded or you stay extra long, but it's only 10's of xp at this point.) With one other person I received 1040 in 15 minutes. With six people in my camp, I was getting 1000-1100 xp every five minutes. (Each person raises the cap slightly.)

The lower camps cap out faster, but the concept is the same. Find the time it takes to maximize the xp and divide it by the number of players you can get in the camp. Build, take down, rebuild. It is infinitely faster than any macro, even with doing it overnight.

If your not playing overnight your not gaining any exp. If your are you get exp. So why not AFK overnight?

To Greenbeanie -

AFK camping is fine, you can do 8 camps in 8 hours and make 8000 xp (more or less, depending on the camp). Find the macro, many online as I type.

except -

What do you learn by afk camping. You are not hunting and healing, so you got no clue what beast is which and which beast drops what. What traps work on this beast best. What weapons should we use. Are these things social. If you don't know the basics - Oh goodie, another useless drone with a Master Scout label.

You got no friends, so if you need something, you gotta buy itretail - dumb. Hunt and camp with a group, bonding is fun, and profitable if you make deals with the doc and the tailor with you. I never ever pay retail. I about never use cash, unless it's for weapons (ah, my weapons habit).

Final Q - If you are a real 18 series, did you get the funny hat by correspondence courses or by blood, sweat and tears? See my point?

Now go out and earn the title. It's sometimes not the destination, but the route you took getting there that makes you smart.
