Also, after you get to lvl13 or close to it youll be able to see tracks, i have 3 cunning and 4 into scouting.This is increased by fighting with one-handed weapons. some of them might be traveling to a hideout ), gl on the scouting my fellow warband enthusiasts :), also if you see that you gained some xp, you probably passed a hideout that was nearby, and due to low visibility (nighttime & low scouting lvl) you didnt see it, so its worth it to go back and find the hideout (finding them gives a good amount of xp) and check regularly to see when you got the xp for the reason mentioned earlyer. Do some tournaments, get money food and some horse & mules, youll need the food for sustaining your army, money aswell for your army and horses / mules for speed since you dont want troops / items slowing you down, start roaming through forests & mountains & basicly run everywhere, only way you get xp is by finding hideouts, atleast i think thats the case since you cannot see any tracks early on, maybe you can but only from a party of 1 or smthing like that, and ofcourse if you have a kingdom maybe then they will start appearing, in any case i think its not necessary but in your clan section give yourself the title of scout, just in case, dont think you have to destroy the hideouts since they dont give you the xp you need for scouting but i think it helps so they can maybe respawn or maybe you need to find hideouts all over the world as an introduction to scouting, after you manage to find a couple of them you can call yourself a scout i guess, so yeah thats how i get my xp, also might help if you press alt and look at the mountain, forest, steep, raider, etc.
