Hi everyone, my ingame name is TunerS and I decided to make my own project.
I want to see how difficult it is now to start hunting without depositing. I will start like any other new player – with no weapons, armor or PED. I will only use my skills and knowledge about this game as my advantage.

My goal is to reach the point where I have enough PED to keep hunting atleast puny creatures in Port Atlantis.
I will update this post with new information every day.


Skills when started:
Aim - 732
Alertness – 310
Anatomy - 2372
Agility – 44
Athletics – 539
Combat Reflexes – 907
Concentration – 256
Courage – 825
Dexterity - 623
Evade – 865
Handgun - 318
Inflict Ranged Damage - 941
Intelligence – 35
Laser Weaponry Technology - 2934
Marksmanship - 1580
Perception - 753
Psyche – 21
Rifle - 2542
Sweat Gatherer – 812
Weapons Handling - 1147

I think that’s all for now.

Day 1 (13.03.2011)

So here I’m standing near Port Atlantis Marina teleport.



There were 2 Sleipnir pilots already waiting so I asked how much it would cost to get to Nea’s Place. They offered a flight to Nea’s Place for free. So it is possible to get there quite fast without even start sweating in Port Atlantis. I don’t know how long the trip from New Oxford to Nea’s Place would be so 35 minutes should be enough to find a pilot and get to Nea’s Place.

After 35 minutes I went to Nea’s Place and started sweating. I spend ~3 hours in game, collected 776 Vibrant Sweat and earned some skills:

Evade – 868 (+3)
Alertness – 312 (+2)
Athletics – 540 (+1)
Courage – 827 (+2)
Concentration – 260 (+4)
Sweat Gatherer – 825 (+13)



I will spend 2-3 hours every day for this project so probably it will take atleast 4 more days before I can start hunting. My first goal is to get enough sweat to buy Sollomate Kiwio Mk.II (1.40PED) and ammo (10PED).

Day 2 (14.03.2011)
Today I spend ~2 hours of sweating in Nea's Place. Collected 764 sweat bottles.

Concentration – 261 (+1)

Vibrant Sweat: 1540
 
Good luck with the project :)

Nice project! Looking forward to seeing u hunt argos or atrox :)
 
Hi.

I see you have more Evade and defense skills than a new player have. So, probably you gather sweat more quick than this medium new player.

Good luck.

Greetings.
 
Interesting I'm curious what the results will be

welcome back mate! :) best of luck in your project
 
I myself think that in order to speed up your project a little bit, you should allow yourself a small fund of 25~30 peds ,and just image that 25~30 peds are earned from 3-4 days of sweating. Starting this project @ 30 peds will make no difference from starting it without any deposit.

And just how do you suppose that one can earn 25-30 PED from just 3-4 days of sweating? My best estimate tells me that you'd have to sweat 16 hours/ day or something similar ridiculous. even people who have no life at all outside EU would not be able to do that.

@OP
Good luck with the project.
 
Good luck at your project :)
I'm really intrested to see how it goes.

That would defeat the purpose of his project...
 
I would like to suggest to keep your fun going do some trading with the money you earn from sweating before pew pew shooting it all away ;)

Can you teach me to trade on a low budget? I've been in the game for more than 6 years and have tried on numerous occasions, both small and large budget and I've always ended up with no significant gain, if any.

trading is the only way to "win" if you ask me, but not anyone can no it.

Agreed...I've tried the Muscle Oil/Hides/Wools thing, but gave up after realizing it was probably earning me even less than sweating given my budget.

Gonna follow this, i have done the exact same thing 4 years ago. At the time 1k bottles was 12 peds. It seems these days it takes wayyy longer to gather 1k bottles than in my days of sweating. I remember looting a vigi helmet off a exa that was roaming near PA. I had a gnome armor with vigi helm. Good times. Too bad its shit today, i would of done it again for sure. Gl and have fun.
 
Good luck with this :)

Yesterday I spend almost 2 hours in Twin Peaks trying to sell 5k sweat. Sold everything for 11.30PED and found one blueprint on the ground - Weapon Range Enhancer I Blueprint. Took 20 minutes to get from Port Atlantis to Twin Peaks with Gungnir Mk1 (C,L).

There are Rookie Medium Weapon Cells in loot because I didn't use them all. Need atleast 3 shots to kill puny creature and after hunt I usually have 1-2 shots left so I can't use them.
 
Great thread.

The value of your skills has increased by just under 3 ped, by the way! :)

I think today I made a new personal record on how much MISS messages player can receive in straight row. For a few minutes there were this period that I couldn't kill a single mob (3 shots to kill) without receiving MISS message atleast once.
