...that I know we noobs often have.
How valuable are exacty chantrelles? what can one get for, say, a chest full of them?
How do the scents work? How come you can leave "less" or "more" and how does that translate into the ranger's skill to catch a thief?
What if you log out during combat?
I know I can't trap foxes/boar/deer in signposts anymore, but, how would roundpole work?
That's it for now, if I think of more i'll post 'em, thanks in advance.

How valuable are exacty chantrelles? what can one get for, say, a chest full of them?

It's a cooking ingredient for a semidecent dex/con food. Exact value will vary from town to town, some may offer you metal for them, some might refuse to buy at all.

How do the scents work? How come you can leave "less" or "more" and how does that translate into the ranger's skill to catch a thief?

When you do criminal acts on personal/village claim, you leave scents. All scents except tresspassing and assault are 'summonable'. This means that someone who has collected your scents, can use your hearth fire to summon and kill you while you are offline. That's why it's a good idea to keep your HF protected. Or not to be criminal in the first place.
Tracking scents depends on ranger's perception*exploration score and criminal's intelligence*stealth. If player has high enough int*stealth, his scent's might not even be seen by someone with low per*explo.

What if you log out during combat?

You don't, although using bed might work (never tested).

I know I can't trap foxes/boar/deer in signposts anymore, but, how would roundpole work?

Roundpole works vs foxes, aurochs and moufons.

Logging out on a bed during combat does not work, as far as I've seen.

[Oskatat]

signs still work for mouflon and auroch last time i tried

if you log out during combat, or close the screen, you stay there, and your opponent will keep hitting you. cant disappear while engaged
