Scout Archive

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it happened to me and I was very surprised. I wasn't upset because ranc hunting gives scouting xp like crazy or else I would be. I capped my scouting xp at 30k and was a novice scout 4141. I then decided to grind out some profs and had to let scout go. I didn't think it would be too bad, having 30k xp to draw on. So after my grind I became a 0000 novice scout again. I didn't want to pay for training and usually there are scouts in ranc hunting parties so I thought I would get trained on dathomir. Well it didn't happen and after I harvested some nice leathery hide from a ranc I was unpleasantly surprised to see that I lost 28000 xp. Why? I earned 30k, why am I giving up 28k to harvest some hide. What kind of rule is this?

Thryss,

It's the rule that gets rid of XP when you are capped on a skill and get XP for it before you retrain it up.

This has been this way for a long, long time.

And I'll one up you - when I dropped Ranger, I had 80000 Scout and 80000 Survival stored up. First time I popped a camp as a Master Scout, bam. Bye bye. Same with the Scout.

It's just the way the game mechanics makeit - if you drop a profession, you drop the profession.
