Scout Archive

I've been working on becominga master scout/novice ranger for a while now, and all that I have left is trapping IV and survival IV. Trapping is rather easy to get, and I will just spend an hour or so to get what I need.

Survival is ridiculous though. I try to put up a camp whenever I have low health, wounds, need to craft anything or whatnot, but it just isn't enough. Adding crafting to survival is great, but I don't want to grind away all my resources. Fishing is quite nice, but for the time spent doing it (especially if the fish puts up a big fight), it just isn't worth 50-70 points. So now, while I write this, I have to grind out survival. This sucks. Why couldn't they make a new camp and survival III that accumulates survival faster? ARG!! So, I guess I'll be here a while. Also, 20 hides for a multi-person camp sucks because I just sold all my hides

Oh, and lastly, I need about 500 apprenticeship XP. I heard somewhere you could trade rebel faction for it, but none of the recruiters I talked to had apprenticeship. Can anyone confirm any that do?

I don't know what everyone's huge problem with survival experience is. I'm a scout and nearing master very quickly. I've NEVER once had to grind on survival experience. I use camps mainly to heal, and will often sit in one for the entire time it takes the camp to fold itself up. Yeah, I don't even set up new camps to be getting more experience than I could in one use of a camp for when I heal. This new survival experience will definitely help me even more, becuase I wasn't having to grind even before this patch.

In fact, I'm getting close to mastering the survival line and will soon only have to work on my scouting and trapping experience. If people actually used camps as they were meant to be used, then I don't think they'd have as much trouble. Like I've said, I've never had to grind it or even come close a single time. In fact, survival has always been significantly in the lead. I don't really get it I guess.

neat trick if you see any afk miners kicking about go set up camp under them it doesnt interfear with what there doing and ya get great survival xp

i droped novice medic so as to force my self to place a tent instead of healing with sims this helps big time

as a scout use basic camps why make the top of the line camp if you dont have the resorces

scout survival xp is nothing try the 200k survival in the ranger tree when i marstered ranger

Some good news - as from today I noticed you get Survival XP from crafing camp kits =)

Good move, makes sense and slightly compenstates for another "useless" (or un-practical atleaset to climb in) skill.

A little bit closer at least.
