Hello, since i cannot post in "tutorial" forum i decided to do it here
I want to start "my" Journal of a N00b to help another new players not to make the same mistakes, hopefully i will help atleast 1 person. I started playing about a month ago made some good/bad choices and hope to share them Although some of things i will write here won't be my own experiences just experiences and knowledged shared by other players
I will update the journal every few days with descriptions of most important decisions i made and i will try to comment (comments will be in brackets and in italics) on their outcome later on
Chapter I "Calypso"
OK, so game was downloaded, installed... didn't read much about the game but it can't be that different from other MMOs i've played (how stupid i was ). Controls weren't that hard, WSAD, space bar to change to view mode... all set.
When i just left the ship some guy talked to me, offered me showing around, he was nice, started to give me basic advises. He offered me to show me how to make some few PEDs at the beggining (sweating was still available then, now probably he would tell me to do events like Calypso Challange).
Eager to start i started to sweat. He said 1k of sweat is enough to start so i went to a mob started to sweat and got about 20 on first attempt, so i thought "Pfff 1k, i will get it in 30 min". An hour later when i had about 300 sweat i PMed him with advices how to do it faster, no other way tho... only hard work. Nevertheless, he offered me a mentorship and joining his Soc so i thought "what the hell, i can always resign if i want to" (well not exacly, you can resign only in frist few days from what i know ). I accepted his offer to become my mentor, and i joined the Soc on the first day (as much as joining Soc was a great decision, i advice joining as soon as possible, taking a mentor requires much more thought... unfortunately now i almost outskill my mentor, and although he's a great guy if i could choose again i would reconsider, probably i would search for someone with atleast half a year of experience and very active)
After total of about 3 hours i got my 1k of Sweat i started to become tired of playing but since i got it i thought i would do something with it. I saw people buying it at 3-5ped so i thought "not bad 5 ped per 1 sweat will give me 5k to start, its way to beautiful" (well duh it was a price per 1k ofcourse After i got enlightened by one of the traders i sold him my sweat for 4 ped... but i thought that a very nice business... i started to yell at swamp camp that i buy sweat at 3 ped, then i ran to PA and sell it at 4-5 ped and so on, after i made 3 runs like that some players started to call me a scammer and ripoffer for buying from n00bs at such a low price, that was confusing (i still don't think i did anything wrong maybe morally inappropriate i'm not so confused anymore about their opinions). Since i angered some players i decided to call it a day... 5 hours to get about 6 ped, 4 from sweating 2 from trading (now 6 ped profit is not much but sometimes more than what i do now thru whole day when i don't trade ). I logged out hoping for better tomorrow... (still hoping )"
Feel free to comment upon my stupidity its get even better later. If i see any interest in this thread i will try to update it often, hope it will help someone
