Scout Archive

Hi, I started a scout because I want to be "asap" a Creature Handler. I knew what i was getting myself into but after a week of casual playing (because of everyday life task) I found myself still fare from Hunting II and Exploration II. The first level of both was rather easy to get but now.. I played around 1h to 2h every day some day fare less and week-end are nearly never so..

Scouting xp from harvesting creature is nice but very, very long when you kill a white creature and that it gave you 42xp and that you need to rest for 30-40 sec between each one. I still wish to continu on this profession because I hope to be CH one day but I was hoping to get to this somewhere this month but abviously, that is out of the question.... I read that some of you get 2K xp from scouting each hour when camping spawning nest... Imagine my situation when I need 10K when I play casual.. It will take eternety..

Unforunatly, it is a very unmotivating thing to do since I know that every thing i will do is kill, sit, kill and sit. And as for grouping, when I'm in the small town where i started Doarba Guerfel, no group or so are never forming and anyway, xp scouting are not share... so.

At least I got good credits but what is it worth for the moment when most are simply cde gun..

sad..

Kill blues instead. You can usually kill them in 2-3 shots and they'll give you about 34 Exploration xp. You will have no downtime between kills, so your net xp gain per hour will go up by an order of magnitude.

Well, that I know but I nearly only found white. And for mission, don't let me start on that. Each mission I take deliver me to a camp, a nest or whatever that is filled with white or worst and when I succeed to eleminate everyone, I start the main habitat and all respawns and I'm a dead/incapacited wookie.

Anyway, its my 2 minutes complaints.

Hey JackobI felt like I was getting no where for awhile too. A good way to go is to get yourself a group and go hunting. The extra rifles help take down the encounter time, and the extra bodies mean extra targets, and less wounds for you. Even if it's a group of scouts you'll still get a ton of exp if you rotate who gets to harvest, and remember to keep throwing traps. It's easy to get them off while some mob is fighting someone else.

I think you might be better off getting one weapon (pistol for close range no-penalty) higher than raising 2 or 3 simultaneously. I rasied pistol to expert and have no problems close or far.
