Harvesting Creatures?

[Lightsaber]

Ok I am new to EiF but not Star Wars Galaxies, and kinda wondering how you go about harvesting any creatures in the game, if possible?
When Scout does not bring up the Scout proff but Bio-Engineer, Surveyor & 1 other proff, and Ranger will not give me anything skill wise but a bunch of tabs!~

There is no Scout on EiF. Ranger is a profession (and costs zero skill points) and is what allows you to harvest creatures but the creature must be dead to harvest. Bio-Engineer (which is a skill and costs skill points) is only needed to sample creatures for making pets.

Wow no one seems to ever read what is said an just skims, I did say "I am not a Newb to Star Wars Galaxies"!~
The Ranger when I tried to innate the ability to obtain any skill from the trainer on Tatooine, he would not even give me the ability to become a Ranger!~

You would need to drop any other "profession" skills you have to learn ranger. Skill points are different here. If you open your skills page you will see a line. Anything below the line is a profession, you can only have one at a time and it costs no skill points. Anything above the line is a skill and you can mix and match your 250 skill points.

You might also check out the new player guide found here

It will give you a good overview of the changes and updates on EIF.

Ranger is a Profession on EiF. You can only have 1 Profession, so if you have Smuggler, Squad Leader, Commando, Bounty Hunter, Merchant, Entertainer, Jedi, or Doctor as an already learned Profession, you have to drop whichever one of those that you have entirely in order to learn Ranger. Professions cost zero skill points which is why you can only have 1 of them. Skills are everything else and cost skill points to learn, you can have as many Skills as you want up to the 250 point maximum on a character.
