Thread: How do you raise Survival and Trapping?
1. Read the guide stickied at the top of the Forum. Brisc did an outstanding job, lots of good info in it.
2. Traps - make lots and lots of traps (means you gotta harvest a lot, which raises scouting). Use traps on everything you can. Never ever never ever kill something without hitting it with at least 2 traps first. Getting in a group on an adventure planet is the best, you can trap all day and harvest.
3. Camping - that group on the adventure planet - use camps when they want to rest. Craft camps while in a camp, and make traps too, more xp. Have the medics heal, more xp. Have an entertainer cure the mind black lines (not BF), more xp.

Traps was the problem one for me. But yesterday I discovered a trick to it and raised it up from barely lvl 2 right through to lvl 4.
What I did was tested the basic mire mesh trap on various mobs during missions. I discovered one that traps gave 113 xp per trap. Wire mesh are best as they stack so they get xp just as fast as you can throw them. I figured it out with a friend helping me lvl traps so I got a probot to speed up the trick when I amalone.
What I did was get one of the mobs alone. Any that link will not work. Tell Bot or pet to attack and just toss trap after trap at the mob. I had a back pack full of wire mesh traps. Had to make maybe 10 more as some do fail and then no xp for those. But I could toss 4-5 stacks of traps per mob and thats 2000-2500 trap xp per mob. lvled it in no time at all.
Camps I will be working on tomorrow. In groups is best way to lvl it like crazy by using multi-person camp. problem is so many people need to lvl camps that everyone trys to put a camp down. So while I have got some of my xp that way I just do solo ones to rest up wounds. Get around 300xp for those each which adds up over time as I only need around 3000 more for that to be maxed out.
