Just started playing a few nights ago and went with a scout ('cause it sounds like the best profession from all I've read), but I've got some major questions:
1) Picked up scout (duh), medic, artisan and marksman but I can't decide which profession/skills I should be focusing on when I'm out in the wild doing my thing. Any suggestions?
2) Do I have to pay trainers everytime I learn a new skill?
3) Are there any cool scouting guilds/PAs on Kettemoor?
4) Any places and tips on scouting/hunting/gathering/etc... on Naboo? I just got there and it looks like I'll stay around here a while (Tatooine was a little drab)...
Thx,

You can't get these and more of your questions answered by reading my guides!
But because I'm a helpful, warm and fuzzy correspondent, I'll answer 'em here for you too. ![]()
1.) Focus on your marksman and scout skills. You won't get XP for healing yourself out there, and other than sampling for resources, you won't get artisan XP either. Pick one marksman skill you like the best (rifles are my favorite though) and go with those.
2.) You don't HAVE to pay the trainers at all - many other players will be happy to train you. And some (who are looking for the apprenticeship points for master) will even pay YOU to let them train you.
3.) Not sure - check on the Kettemor threads, but any guild could use Scouts.
4.) Gnorts are greatto kill - they're great for XP cause there are a lot of 'em. Nightspiders are great as well. My two favorite hunting spots are northwest of Theed (good spot for gnorts and kaadu), and Northwest of Moenia (good spot for nightspiders).
Good luck! Let us know how you're doing out there.

Scout is always fun... Do you like fighting, being able to heal, scouting, entertaining, or crafting? Try out all of them and delete the skills when you need to and don't have room.
2) Do I have to pay trainers everytime I learn a new skill?
Players can train you in everything except Novice profession.
3) Are there any cool scouting guilds/PAs on Kettemoor?
No clue.
4) Any places and tips on scouting/hunting/gathering/etc... on Naboo? I just got there and it looks like I'll stay around here a while (Tatooine was a little drab)...
Corellia is a great planet, try there. If you want Naboo though, can't help you there, I don't spend much time there.

By the way Talus is a great place for working up scout, there is a good mix of low to mid level creatures; great scenery; and on most servers (all that'd I've played on) there are far fewer buildings than on Corellia, Naboo, or even Tatooine.
Repeat after me - everyone go to Naboo. Naboooooo.
