Scout Archive

We all know you get scouting XP from either maskscent or harvesting hides, bones, and meat. Which creatures give you the best XP for harvesting. I am hunting langlatches on Lok and they give me 125 scouting XP per harvest, on average. They all con white, yellow or red, but since they are so slow, I can usually solo them easily.

I need 17,500 more scouting XP to become a CH. At only 125 XP per creature, that's 140 creatures I have to kill and harvest. That seems like a huge grind to me.

Giant Kimogilas will give 2000 scout xp per, they're just hard to kill and don't pop too often. If you can find a group going to dantooine then the huurtons are great xp because they're not exactly difficult to kill and they spawn like mad once the lair is slightly hurt. Stay away from voritors on dantooine, can't harvest from them.

Let me add that I am soloing since trying to harvest in a hunting group is near impossible. I have my trusty level 1 probot with me as well.

Ronge,

The general rule of thumb is the bigger the creature, the more the XP. Go take down a couple on Tantons on Rori, and you should be set.

Remember - it's not the destination, it's the journey. Enjoy your time out in the wild hunting. You'll have plenty of time to sic your 14 rancors on us later.

I'm a novice scout on Corellia. I find that trying to hunt to more advancedcreatures...ones that con yellow or more just aren't worth it. Heres why. First and foremost they're hard to kill. So you may spend a couple minutes trying to kill a creature that cons yellow and end up loosing half your health. So you can't just run into a nest of them and expect to wipe em all out quick for big xp. The best way I think to go about getting scout xp goes like this. First buy yourself a probot, or a good pet. Something you can use as a tank. Then pick up a few missions that have you killing creatures that con BLUE. This way not only do you get 1400c or so but you get about 65 to 70 xp per creature. And you kill them in a hurry. If you wanted to you could pick up missions that would normaly con YELLOW as long as you have a probot or pet to tank for you. Well thats it do your two missions and repeat. Creds and xp ......how much more can you ask for.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mine the time to level up. If it was too easy, the game would be boring. I started out on Naboo doing Gnort missions. They paid in the 2700-3000 range and I got some 70 Scout XP from each. I could basically 1 shot kill them, but that got boring. I could clear the lair within 7-10 minutes. I went to Lok and hunted Langlatches. Tough as nails, but slower than molassis. Takes me a good 15 minutes to clear a lair, plus the added challange of getting around a planet filled with red aggros. I get 700 Carbine XP, and 125 Scout XP from these things. The missions pay the same, but I don't do it for the money. I take a mission as to not screw someone elses missions up. I was looking for more a challange I guess. The perleks on Lok are frightful. The ravagers con red for me, not a big deal since I can usually solo them if I go prone and get 4 or 5 shots off before the find me. Then I send in Tweak the probot to help. Perleks give me over 1000 carbine XP and over 150 scouting XP. Their hides are probably the lowest quality on Lok. Not a lot of demand for them.
