Scout Archive

Hiya,

I have read teh two guides at the top of the forum and tried them, but it still seemed very slow. I have been playing since the 15th of July, would have played sooner, but moved the day SWG came out and didn't have internet till the 14th. I have been working on my scouting skills from teh first time I logged on with the intention to become a CH. I only have hunting 2 and exploration 2. There has got to be a faster way to get exp. I try for groups on Dantooine, but no one wants me. Not sure what to do since the most exp I get is 69 points unless I take a red con, but that takes a few incaps and about 20 minutes of killing and I get 150 points and could have gotten at least 100 more not killing the red con. BTW I did that once and it was last night doing one of teh missions on Tatooine and it had a red con in the lair. Anyway any siggestions would be great!

Chew,

The best suggestion is lots of lower level creatures, as opposed to higher level ones.

If you have friends, grouping is great. If you don't, it's difficult to find them.

I would suggest that you take a lot of lower level missions - gnorts, nightspiders, etc. Don't immediately destroy the lair - "farm" it.

Kill all the critters, hit the lair ONCE then hit peace. Wait for more to spawn and keep doing it until no more come out. Then hit it until it gets halfway destroyed. A few more, or a "Boss" critter will then appear. Then kill it, and then destroy the lair.

The key to scouting XP at lower levels isn't harder creatures - it's XP over time. The faster you can kill a creature, the faster you can harvest them.

Agreed. Getting the scouting xp for CH takes time but the best way to do it is just kill every chuba and gnort in sight. I got to Ch by running from Theed to Moenia about 7 times one night killing any creature that conned white or below. Its time consuming and once you get to CH you will disappointed with the types of creatures you can use. But dont fret cause once you get the first level of taming and training a whole new world opens up and you can rule all the beg creatures you ran past the other day looking for gnorts.

May the flame be with you

You do get more xp per harvest on the harder stuff but I found out that what has been said is true. I take out all the little stuff outside of town and get MUCH faster xp then taking on the big bad bootie daddies. I can take out Bolle Bol's with my two Grand Wrix's. I get decent CH xp, really good pistol xp, and 300 trapping per trap and 300 scouting per harvest, but they are so tough, I have to rest up my action between each fight. My pets fight WITH me not FOR me. We all stand there and take shots at it till it's dead but the downtime is pretty sizeable. Much better to get the little stuff quickly. I have one more Ranger box to fill and I'll finally be able to say "I DON'T NEED SCOUTING XP ANYMORE, WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO" lol.
