I started taking notes on creature knowledge from several ranger/scout toons I had at different levels. A novice ranger on TC, other scouts/rangers I’ve created on other servers in the past, and my main master ranger that I play on Kauri.

It's kind of an interesting list.. especially noteworthy is the fact that although we get creature knowledge bonuses at novice ranger and 0010, it doesn't provide any benefit.

Also, I’ve included survival XP amounts for ranger craftables. This info is already on Swgcraft.com, but I thought I might as well put it here since I’ve never seen it in a central location or in the ranger/scout forums – not to mention, it gave me something to do while sitting around in my camp and doing the survival tree for the 5th or so time.

=====================

Interesting note: The +5 FS creature knowledge mod only seems to be useful to someone with no scout skills, or with only the novice box – which would give that player “aggressive/stalker” and “tamable” info respectively. Otherwise, +5 doesn’t seem to boost you to the next level of creature knowledge.

=====================
Creature Harvesting Modifier
Incremental bonuses to the harvesting mod as it increases to master ranger (150). This is not a percentile of what is harvested.

NOVICE +15

TRACKING 1 +5/60

TRACKING 2 +10/70

TRACKING 3 +10/80

MASTER RANGER +60/150
Master ranger creature harvest skill was increased in Feb '05, from 100 to 150 skill, to balance new group harvest changes. The -40% penalty for creature harvesting while grouped was removed, and replaced with new rules for bonuses to harvesting while grouped.

Group Harvesting bonuses
+20% increase in creature harvesting while grouped.
+30% increase in creature harvesting while grouped with a Ranger.
+40% increase in creature harvesting while grouped with a Master Ranger.
NOTE: You must be within 64m of a group members to receive harvesting bonus.
