The apartment deed sold for 16000 PED. much more than I expected. Thanks to the buyer and all bidders! Have a great week all. Forrest :)

Thanks everyone for the overwhelmingly positive response to this thread. We have a good community! The prize did indeed show up in by inventory as a direct result of this thread. It is "Harlow Penthouse Loft 3" and it's up on Caly AH now with a start bid of 1 PED. I will let you know how much it...

Hi everyone, I thought I would post about my experiences claiming an in-game prize. In 2017 I completed a mission ("The Great AI War") to kill 100,000 Virus Kongs (a level 15 taxed mob in Hell with 1110 HP). The prize was quite vague but mentioned "land" (as opposed to "property"...

If I'm honest, this is just a shallow attempt to get my five minutes of fame in before JC posts! Forrest :)

My support case was updated. MA have told me this bug has been fixed. I have tested myself and can confirm. BTW MA also mentioned in my support case that "Mining Strongboxes are only supposed to be looted through 'Something out of the ordinary' finds while mining." Not sure if that was obvious...

Currently Mining Strongbox 1's are exceedingly easy to find due to (what I assume is) a bug. I'd advise everyone to not buy them if offered them for the time being. It is possible to find over 100 per hour currently, with very little outlay. I have logged a support case. Forrest

Broadly speaking, "economy" seems to relate to the old dpp on a scale from 2.0 dpp to 3.5 dpp. So an economy of 66.7 relates to 3.0 dpp, at least approximately. Under the old loot system I don't think it was possible to do under 2.0 dpp due to the way you got massively compensated in loot for...

Answers This post was made/edited after Post #25. Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. Sadly, knowing everything below doesn’t really help you become much more eco. The info here only covers the easy half of understanding loot! The more difficult half, e.g. when you will global, or...

Hi guys, I thought it would be fun to post a quiz about the existing loot system. I originally planned to make a long thread going into great detail (like I did in my "How Hunting Skill Gains work" thread) but changed my mind because it's all about to change and become irrelevant! Anyway, for...

Good luck Me too. I've been locked out of the game since October 11th with exactly the same GC issue. Mindark haven't even put a note on my ticket despite it being logged as a "Login issue" with the title "Can't login". The worst part is when they email you after two weeks: "Entropia...

An update Ardorj here appears to have proved a correlation between pre-kill attack-related skill gains and the COST of using the weapon, rather than DAMAGE DONE by the weapon. Clearly this difference is not massive but is interesting nonetheless. So, if you kill an Atrox Young in 20 seconds...

Firstly, good luck to the OP. The combination itself won't allow him to break even - but with a few minor alterations (inc dropping the utterly worthless fap-90 and getting an SI Heart instead of a Herb Box, as already stated by others), it looks like a good way to avoid hemorrhaging peds. I'm...

There are three styles of hunters: (a) hardcore non-depositor; knows they must at least break even at all costs; hunts very intelligently; does a fair bit outside hunting to make sure they at least break even (b) occasional or frequent depositor; doesn't mind small losses but goes out of their...

There is some info in this thread and also here, here, here and here. As already stated above, it seems that lower end mobs stop giving evader/dodger skills after precisely 2 minutes. After this time, a variable within the mob itself changes to ensure it stops giving out evader/dodger skills...

Well... I didn't specifically test this, as frankly, it never occurred to me! Also, if you think back to the old days when just about everything maxed at level 100, I doubt it would have occurred to MA to code it like this either. So, personally I don't think the SIB level of weapons has a...

Of course, yes. The equation is not 100% accurate in that sense, but neither is it intended to be. The beauty of the equation is that is only has two inputs: HP and mob level. These remain static for all players and all weapon combinations. You could replace HP with the actual damage you do...

I have graduated today. But the bug still exists. What happens is... a) you complete the four graduation tasks b) you get the "achievement" message saying you graduated c) you're asked to rate the mentor d) nothing else happens e) if you relog you're asked to rate the mentor again f) nothing...

The obvious problem with Next Island was and is the lack of grinding missions. How the NI development team missed such an obvious way to make cash, when they had already done the hard work, is incredible. On the wider issue that JimmyB brought up, I agree that from some angles the other planets...

I believe all of the following hunting-related statements are true. If any non-depositor, who regularly hunts, disagrees with any of the statements below I'd be very interested indeed... 1. The 90% return thing is just something to tell a first-week newbie to give them a vague idea about how...

Following on from the last post, this is a table outlining predicted attack-related skill gains from current mission mobs, as calculated from the formula in the previous post. The list is best used to compare similar mobs, such as Aurli and Kreltin, and not vastly different mobs. Planet...

Formula Using the graphs in the first post, I thought I would attempt to predict the TT value of attack-related skill gains per mob, knowing only the HP and level. This could help us to rank mobs according to the expected long-term skill gains from hunting them. It would also help us get an...

Well, I wasn't recording the times when skill gains occurred, other than in my tests to see when evader skill gains trailed off, and even then I wasn't actively recording the specific skill. So I can't comment on this I'm afraid. By the way, after reading your's and Karmic's comments at...
