So.. I hear that mask scent is a great way to gain scouting experience.. but I don't see a single point after using it for an hour.. I reapply every time it drops.

Am I doing something wrong?

Oh bother. I found the answer in another thread...

#1: You really need to have explore 3 for it to start working. Don't even bother at explore 2.

#2: The mobs you use it on have to be agressive or you get no exp/noticed.

#3: I can tell you from beta that masked scent scout exp is easy to get when you find the right group of mobs. In beta I found the right group (on endor I think - they were GREEN) and ran back and forth between 70-65 meters constantly for 35 exp a pop. This got me from explore 3 (and no hunting) to CH in like 4 hours.

That is really painful. I spent a similar amount of time trying to figure out how to get xp from it. Why have it at II if it's not going to work even with the smallest mobs.

Harvesting being the only method of xp is extremely painful. I'm the type of person that likes to group and the game works completly against that as everyone is either working harvest or wants the hides, so you have 5 out of 6 people going after the one mob you dropped. Makes for a very aggrivating experience.

Pistol Tier IV already, but only 1000 into Explore II(no hunting). What a drag. Last night, I ended up going out to the perimeter and shooting the little things outside mos eisley just to get the quick kills. This is quite boring solo.

As Bezyan said, you need explore 3 to see mask scent start to work. Until then you camoflage skill is just too low to make it work.

Mask scent is not a free ride for exp anymore. There is now a limit on the amount of mask scent exp you can get off a single mob. Yes you will be able to run around and get easy exp, but you had better be prepared to run all over the planet.
