Greetings fellow Scouts!

Last night I was very pleased to have made enough exp to train Hunting IV and Exploration IV. Iworked onthem both at the same time (splitting exp between them) from the start. I remember seeing the text message saying that I qualified for Hunting IV and Exploration IV and I remember seeing that the progress indicator on both boxes was full (completely yellow).

I go to train today and something weird happened. I trained Hunting IVfirst and then suddenly had107 exp towards Exploration IV. I knowhad the exp for both. Like I said I've been leveling both since day one and never had this problem before.

When I was leveling I would periodically check the skill boxes to see how close I was. Both Hunting and Exploration always said the same amount (for example 5K towards one and 5K towards the other and the yellow bars showing equal amounts as well) and so I knew I needed to make 2X the exp to fill both.

I did notice that I have exp towards BH, Commando, etc....(roughly 6K each) but I've never trained these skills.

All I can think of is that I'm losing it and only had the exp for one of the skills (although I woudl bet anything this is not the case) or I don't have a clue how exp works

Any thoughts guys?

Blak,

Exploration and Hunting both use the same kind of XP - Scout XP. So the bars go up at the same time, because the XP can count for EITHER Exploration OR Hunting.

Once you trained one, the bar reset, because you didn't have the XP for the other.

Exploration IV and Hunting IV both require 15k Scout XP. Which means that in order for you to be able to train both, you need a total of 30k XP. Your bar won't go up any further after the 15k unless you train one of the two.

It weirded me out the first time that I leveled Scout - actually, it was the first day of the game and I didn't realize that it used the same kind of XP so I even submitted a bug report about the "missing" XP.

So don't worry - you're not bugged.That's just how it works.

Thanks Brisc...I knew that they used the same EXP but I would have bet money that the text message blurb said I had enough for both. Wishfull thinking I guess...hehe...!

ya the message did because at the time you had the exp for either

To train in Hunting, it costs 15,000 Scout XP, that means you must give up 15k Scout XP to learn it.
