Swordsman Archive

I've been a Swordwoman/Doctor for quite awhile, and have always switched my extra 18 skillpoints in between Artisan and Scout depending on the circumstances. I do want to pursue the FS quests and was a little worried that I would be limiting my character by using those skillpoints and not being able to harvest anything for the next 5 months.. or however long it takes to unlock.

I did take a look at the FS skills and see there are 2 branches that do exactly what scout/artisan do. My question is if I take those branches do they work without having the actual artisan and scout professions. I guess I'm thinking it will be like someone that buys a BE medical shirt to improve their healing, but it won't work unless they have novice medic.

I hope my question was somewhat clear. Has anyone heard anything about it? Thanks for the help guys!

I don't actually know. I believe that we tested at least some of the scouting skill mods (harvest and surival) on TC2 and found that they didn't allow someone to harvest or place tents. But back then I also suspected that the FS mods weren't working at all yet.

So sorry, no idea. It's too late for me (my 6 brances are done ), but I'm also curious about this one.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you lioness...I want to cap out my melee speed more with the FS skills, but I need to switch between scout/harvesting. I"m betting that you have to have novice in those areas for the FS to benefit you at all...just my 2 cents.

I am intending on going up the survival FS line and don't have Novice Scout so I should be able to answer this question eventually. It will take me a little while to work up that tree though because I still have to finish off my melee speed tree.
