Ok just a few pointers and observations I have noticed about destroy missions.

Hopefully it will helpsome folks in how to raise scout exp and make some cash in the early days of play.

(I wasn't in the Beta so if this is all old news forgive me.)

1. When selecting a destroy mission always have your best weapon in hand, this seems to effect the amount offeredwhich is related tothe hardness. Dont wory about it being too hard as if you chose the typementioned below it makes no difference. Hit refresh a lot and try to gettwo missions in the same direction thatare far away, around 2-3k(distance traveled makes a large difference to credits offered). Talos, Daeric is a nice place to hunt, I have been earning 2200cr every mission since I started without taking into account profit from sale of skins/bone.

2. Take Paralope missions. Paralopes are one of the best mobs I can think of to kill, they don't assist each other when you kill them, (they only assist the nest)and theycan be skinned or boned for a good reward, sell theharvest once back in town.

3. Dont be in a hurry to kill the nest, first kill all mobs around it, then shoot the nest til more mobs spawn and then kill them, rince and repeat. This way you have loads of mobs to harvest, so lots of scout points, and nice exp. When the nest stops spawning, shoot it some more until more mobs and rince and repeat. Once it stops spawning, finish it off for the reward. Sell the hides or bones (I tend to stockpile one type until I have 500 or so of each) then sell at bazaar when you get back. (I tend to charge around 3cr a skin or bone)

I personally use a pistol (DL44 atm, ~26-92) when I hunt, as most mobs tend to get close fast, at least they did before mask scent started working. I open with and use body shot 2 almost exclusively, I can kill most paralopes in two body shots, sometimes one will do it. This makes for fast exp and fun just walking into the camp and reaving .

This system seems to work well for me, I have been playing for only 3 daysso far(feel for us UK players) and have a full set of Mabari, 60k in the bank, and the best weapons available on Talus so far.Exp wise, I'm just about ready to become a CH from Master Scout , but have skills in Medic, Artisan and Marksman as well to be self sufficient.

I hope this info helps at least one person.

Have fun out there,
