OK, i just got to Exploration 3, and was hoping that Maskscent would ACTUALLY work. But it still fails EVERY time. I mean, i have never even had it work.


Keep in mind, i am using this as a skill, and not for the exp.


I put on maskscent, and while i am walking past the creature(s), it goes of everytime. I have tried it on agressives and others, but nothing, always fail.


I am a Wookie, Scout, explore 3, hunt 2, trap 4, survival 2


Marksmen, Rifle Expert, Intermediate Pistol, no carbine, and Advanced weapon skills.



I put those in, incase they have any effect.



Thanks for the help.

Before the nerf, armor didn't seem to make a difference, I heard that walking instead of running or going prone helped. Haven't tried it myself.



But, try the kreetles. About 20% of the time pre-nerf I get xp from them running past, full armor with my gun out. May also depend on the mob. Perhaps kreetles gotz tiny little noses...



While hunting, reapplying maskscent seemed to confuse the mob and stop them from charging some times. Like being prone, it would take them a while to spot you and you get a few shots in before they charge. It was kinda cool the mobs using sight and sound to track you. Too bad they nerf the skill and not the xp exploit.
