so i made a scout, i played him today and filled all the lower level trees completely green which I take it means I done and cant advance anymore untill i get 1000credits x 4 to go up to the next level? Also my pistol is maxed and no idea what i do next there to advance. I would like to use some kind of 2h weapon or 2 1h weapons but I dunno i to go about that. I far as I can tell I need brawler skills? Does that mean I go see the brawler trainer and train novice brawler?


Any help appreciated and thank you in advance

You might findthat you can use melee weapons but will cause less damage as you dont have the skills do so, so go see a Brawler trainer and train in Novice Brawler skills you might then have to check what certification you have and purchase a 1handed or 2handed weapon, this is cause it wasnt your starting prof. As i am a marksman 2/2/2/2 and have novice artisan and scout skills which all mix together rather nicely, but had to buy the other items that a starting artisan or scout get.With regards to the green bars what will happen is you will continue to pick up xp for the various skills but there is a maximum i believe its 1000xp on the first levels and until you train in the next available skill you wont collect anymore xp.


Jees i hope that makes sense

Find a player to train you, a lot will even pay you for the apprentice points they get, don't waste money on NPC trainers unless you absolutely have to (4:30 am, and you just need the last two boxes to master it kinda thing).

Just remember that when you have 1000 exp all the bottom boxes will light up, but as soon as you train it "burns" 1000 exp so now you will not be able to train in all 3, just he one you select.At the 1000 level you can bank up to 5000, at the 5000 level you can bank up to 10,000.

What i do is usually bank exp until i find it convenient (battle fatigue) to run to town and get training from players. never pay for training from trainer, hell its cheaper to book a flight to Correlia, where peeps will pay you to train you then it is to pay a trainer.

Well the xp cap generally works like this;

The cap is double the xp needed to get the box with the highest requirement for that particular type of xp.

So if you have say trapping xp, and you have yet to train your first box, you have a cap of 2000, when you train that box, you lose 1000xp, but your cap is now 10,000 (double the cost of the second box at 5000).

That's how it's supposed to work anyway, doesn't always, for some reason the doctor cap is 80k even though you need 60 of that to master the last box, so it ought to be 120.

Jedi,


If you haven't, read my "Novice Scout guide" stickied at the very top of the forum.


It's great for total newbs like you.
