Hi all! I'm not sure if this has been addressed in the past, but I found a somewhat interesting bug. If I set up camp anywhere, I can run in and out of it a multiple amount of times, and be counted as a new visitor each time I reenter the camp. So, I can rack up about 30 or so visitors in about 45-50 seconds or so.


But it doesn't stop there...


If I run out a specific distance (can't quite tell how far), I can actually be credited for reentering the camp without having exited. And actually, it does this twice for every successful time. It's really weird.


Right now, I'm sitting in a camp all by myself in the middle of nowhere, and I'm reading 40 visitors,with 23 current visitors lol


Just thought you guys should know.


Have fun!

And for each vistor not in the camp when it disbands, you get like 1 xp.


Wow. Instead of sitting and crafting, or fishing - I tell ya, you guys are so smart.


No no no, don't read the stickied guide at the top of the column, we were all born masters and did nothing to get it. We have no clue on how to master.

Getting yourself a load of bone and hide when you did exploration & hunting and sitting there making camps is far more efficient... But some people just have to try these whacky things!

The devs can't count. Nothing new there.

That includes the extra xp you get for visitors.

I hate to burst his bubble - I did this on June 27, 2003. Didn't give me more XP then, doesn't now.


The best way to get through it is to just have fun doing it. That's the best way - may not be the quickest, but the last time I checked quick didn't equal fun.

Yeah as a scout myself omw to ranger i will tell u this ... Dont waste your time running back and forth like a scared durni!


Each time u craft a multi person camp ( practice mode guys REMEMBER! ) u get around 60survival exp ... Now this sounds like hmm that a little bit but if u let your camp stand for 15 mins ( this is enough for good exp for dispanding ) u can reach around 2500 - 3000 survival exp on the craft ... it costs u a bunch a hide and bone but what the heck ... u ahve a shiatload from hunting and explore exp ..in that way u can get your 36k exp in 12 camp time ( + trainer time ) wich is 12 * 15 mins = 3 hours ... so lets agree that QUICK does beat FUN in the matter of survival exp

it doesn't get you more xp, but it shortens the time to the XP cap.
This is how we used to get survival faster.

Set up a camp by fort tuskan, you get tons of visitors disband camp plop a new one.

Instead of waiting 20-30 min to get to the cap it takes about 5.

and this was back when crafting traps and camps gave general crafting xp not survival, so it had a larger purpose back then.

And yes there would be like 3-4 camps set up and people would run from camp to camp to help.

Talon,


THAT works. Having a large number of visitors DOES work.


But the visitors have to be real visitors - not just you over and over again.

Oh well I never did run out of my own camp for fear it would disband
but I have had friends run in and out.
