Scout Archive

How do you increase your Survial Skills? Do you just camp alot and forage then camp some more? I've gone out in several safari groups, gets dull after while, shoot, shoot, shoot, critter falls, skin it rest, rest then move on... Run, run, runa baddie with a problem with your smell. Then back to shoot, shoot, shoot...What should a scout do?

If I'm solo'ing I'll usually use a couple camps while scouting. If you're grouping you should really be racking up the points if everyone uses your camp. I think you get even more if entertainers or medics heal while in your camp, but I don't recall.

I just traveled from Kor Vella to Corenet on Corellia. I ran across a battlefield on the way. I camp when I need to create more traps. I camp when I do something foolish and have to spend some time recovering. Heck if I need to go to the bathroom I make a camp. I basically explore a lot and don't spend any down time outside a camp. My wilderness survival skill is one of my highest.

That's basically what I'm doing - just camping. I just rest up there in between missions and just see if anybody happens across my camp.
