Scout Archive

I just got the forage skill last night. I tried it out at several spots and end up not getting anything. What do you find when foraging? How do you know where to forage? I'm on Tatooine right now so I doubt there's too much to forage for in any case.

It allows you to collect more materials for crafting more scouting items.

9 times out of 10 the scout forage skill will find you some kind of food or bugs. the food you can eat for temp modifiers to your stat pools, and the bugs can be used for fishing or as organics.

the medical forage is what finds you those resources. wheat, wood, beans, stuff like that. i have both and use both whenever i do a forage, but ive never found any materials for crafting more scouting items with it. only food or bugs. and i use it ALOT. whenever i stop in a camp i use it approx 6 times. if you forage, then move just a little bit, you will often find another item to forage.

selling the food your forage is pretty useless since they dont stack and no one will pay at least 20cr for 1 food item. you may be able to sell them to a store or something. they might buy 20 from you and sell them through their vendor.

i keep em. i dont usually eat foods because none of them give me a big enough modifier to make a difference. i found it MUCH easier, and much more effective in battle to use stimpaks and the probot i bought. only thing with the droids is that you dont get ANY xp for their kills or damage. so use your probots wisely.

How much was the Probot by the way????

Speak to Castorius on Naboo (send him a /tell). Hes on the Chilastra server. I got an old one (one of his originals that was left over) for 20k. I think the Ares MarkIII is going for 30-40k.


you wouldnt BELIEVE how fast i ramped up my xp with the probot. and its not cheating!!!
have the probot attack before you do. that way the creature aggos him instead of you, my probot has like 3000 hp, and i think the new ones are even more and they have armor. then when the creature is fighting the probot, you throw all your traps to max trapping skill and severely weaken it. then hammer it with the specialty pool shots.

1 CH and i were taking down lairs of Duf Hun's on Talus last night using this method.

the only thing wrong with a droid is that you get NO xp for anything it does. so if you want those marksman xp, dont use it.


i dont mind taking the marksman xp hit because im close to pistoleer and rifleman. and it makes up for it by being able to take down those big scary creatures. and you get more resources from the harvest!!!
