Okay....

Here is a little trick of trade for getting easy scout XP. You have to be daring and bold to get this XP.

Go to a location where you have a lot of AGGRO RED creatures. Such as Lok, Datoonie orDathomir.

If you can't afford the plane ticket, go to places such as NarLatch's Cave in NABOO. At the entrace to the cave or the location you are planning to walk into, turn on Mask Scent.

Now with Mask Scent on, just walk around and explore the place. As you walk around and as more red dots show on your radar, you get more XP. Yesterday from doing a NarLatch killing, I see scout XP spam my screen every less than 10 second for XP ranges from 40 - 90.

Now isn't that COOL or WHAT!

I believe, if someone could confirm, you get more XP via prone crawling around as well.

Di,

It's funny - this was a tip from way back in the old days of the game - the first week or so, before Maskscent had the timer added to it.

Some things change, some things stay the same.

B

Yeah, but for a period of time maskscent didn't give XP because it was broken or something like that right?

Anyhow...good to share the news again

I love it how everyone looks for the easy cop-out to doing things like getting experience. Where is the fun in getting scout experience that way? What is even the freaking point of getting experience if you are trying to do nothing more but hit master as fast as possible? I hope that satisfies you in some kind of fashion, but I hardly think that you ever have even half the fun that I do playing this game.

For me it isn't about how fastI reach master - it's about how much fun I have between novice and master.

Actually, I hope people read this and it actually slows them down.

1). travel to any of the advanced planets, Lok, Dantooine or Yavin is expensive for a newbie

2). A newbie will spend more time lying flat on their back incapacitated or sitting in camp healing

3). They will get their scout xp, buts that all they will get.

The alternative. Take explorer mission and then one regular mission for the type of creature you hunt. Go kill the mob and the lair, collect credits. Harvest, collect scout xp. Take harvested resources to the bazaar, collect credits.

Oh, and don't forget about the combat xp for killing the mob and even possibly scout xp if the mob is red and your /maskscent or there is red mobs along the way.

I can guarantee you that in the same amount of time in game. I will come out ahead with more overall xp gain and more credits with less wounds.

Joshai, people play this game the way they like. Some think it is fun to find the fastest way to get xp. Some think its fun to play in another way.

Why talt down to people that dosent play the game the way you like ?

I've been wracking up this maskscent exp, as well, though I consider it 'hazard pay' for scouting out for my mission locations. Especially on Rori near Rebel Outpost---so many lairs you can't take a step towards your mission without setting off the maskscent thingie.

As an aside: I can't ever seem to get Hunt Missions done. I end up aborting. So, take a single Hunt and then a normal mission of the same creature, eh? Why didn't I think of that?

thanks
