I tryed to use miltiperson camps before haveing novice scout but it wouldent let me deploy it.

I dont know if that goes for the basic aswell.

Xol,

As far as I am aware, if you have Novice Scout you can use up to the Improved Camp without being able to craft it.

You won't be able to use any Ranger camps without Novice Ranger.

And as far as I am aware, if you do not have Novice Scout, you cannot use any Scout skills, which includes camp deployment.

It would be similiar for a non-artisan to use a Surveying tool.

I'm not sure about it but I bought a multiperson camp kit before i had survival 2 and it wouldn't let me deploy it because i didn't have the necessary skills so i don't think you would still be able to deploy them

I am just wondering whether or not I can setup basic camps (made by novice scout) if I untrain novice scout. Eventualy I will need the skill credits but I will untrain it sooner rather than later if I can buy camping kits and use them without novice scout skill.

In my experience you can only use the camps you have the ability to build. I tried multiperson and advanced camps to friends who didn't have the survival level I did and they couldn't use them.

I just tested it myself. I tried setting up a basic camp without scouting trained and I was unable to succeed. Next I want to find a +1 camping skill enhancer to see if I can do it then.

Yeah I think the whole concept of "Camping skill" is quite lame really, since you basically can't use the next camp till your able to create it I don't see why they don't just make it more like certs. At survival 2 you cancreate/setup multiperson camps, at 4 you can create/setup improved. There is no need to have the skill increase. It would make more sense if the skill at survival 1 allowed you to setup multiperson and the skill at survival 3 allowed improved. That would make a bit more sense, and if thats the case already, then I take back my above post.

Dao,

Well, it sort of IS like certs.

They don't GIVE you the camp when you get to that level, you get the ability to use it.

When you get a T21 cert, they don't GIVE you the gun, they give you the ability to use it.

I think he is saying that it's silly to have +camping skill listed over in your skills list. However, assuming you can get +camping skill modifiers (I haven't seen any yet) then you may be able to use camps you can not yet make.
