4th leg up... one more to go...

Not sure if I 'like' it or not, but it's definitely starting to grow on me a bit. Will probably look more interesting when the tomtebloss lights are installed.

The 'new' scaffolding maneuver to get them up there is still time consuming, but not as much as the old process. Spacing and angles aren't 'perfect' since it's eyeballed a lot, but that's ok. Kinda like hanging a traditional tree in real life... it's always different each year as it's touched by human hands.





The star up top lights up the ceiling in interesting ways... will work nicely once the tomtebloss and other visuals are added in and layered on top.







star's not exactly centered up top... but that's ok. May (or may not) add some blazers up there for some visual sparkle later.

garland hung. Will wait to finish up tree after I pick up some of the trees in storage on Calypso.

Poster Collection hung upstairs.

Starting to work on placing the alpha core cards upstairs too. Going to use a piece of furniture to do it this time since it'll be less wonky than trying to hang them like I did last time.

when not observing all the bugs and glitches, and false advertisements and unfulfilled promises, I mostly am upping pet levels, interior decorating, and occasional taking selfies or panoramas...

(lately I've been also recording compet action in youtube, but that's technically not in this game. I know, I know, they do the recording playback thing in game too, but that isn't for public viewing or historic viewing, etc. since it gets reset every time arena season ends, and it's just for those in top rankings mostly, etc.)

more ol photos, lol.

Moved to using google photos for most screen prints these days since it's easier to upload than here on pcf...

Album 1
Album 2

It is kinda fun digging through the old photos, lol.

little more decorating in the Arkadian apartment tonight... Couple of mannequins added downstairs. Full set of all the alpha cards I have (minus the 3 needed to complete sets) is upstairs. Few odds and ends moved around a bit. Really looks sweet at night when sun goes down.

POVR coin and box are up by the alpha cards. Still some subtle stuff to do eventually, but it's coming along. Really like the way it's starting to shape up.













not going to do too much around the big tree thing til I get the spare trees from Caly some day back over to Arkadia. Thinking about either using the tomtebloss to do extra lighting on it, or hanging the plushies in the tree, or doing a mega star similar to the "chandelier" type thing I did on RT a while back...


now off to bed a couple of hours so I can deal with real world before long...

[mastermesh]

Trees are more or less how I want em, so now the ornament hanging begins...








Really wish Arkadia's apartments had as many item points as Rocktropia's do.

https://entropialoot.wordpress.com/compets/ - few more streamed videos on there... Still in the 70s in arena rankings, mainly because I don't have a bunch of time to work on it daily... Was interesting tonight... 3 boxes in one run. (2 dailies and one increase in rankings... think it was a timing issue on how I got the dailies in row like that since I missed yesterdays mostly, so I think I got yesterdays and todays in the same run and it was just timed to where it hit 2 days)

[mastermesh]

Since I've started recording compet playing in the blog/youtube playlists, figure I may as well put another page out there for the Entropia Streams, and start streaming EU activity more as well...

Maria's Entropia Universe Streams

Lately I mainly only hunt with timed loot or skill pills as I'm hunting late at night during nights of insomnia, or when I'm not busy doing other things on my days off (limited in that lately since grass is almost long enough to start mowing again. )

(Hey devs, if you are reading this, you can kindly now give me a few globals and hofs in a row when the videos are recording so it'll all be a good form of advertising for you. )

[mastermesh]

started this idea way back over in post 95 and before than really... going to use this post to track the progress... (also likely going to start streaming some of the hunts more going forward... Most hunts are only an hour at a time or so since I'm more or less using skill pills to keep track of time and not hunt too long most days. (Sadly my real world body needs this funny thing called sleep from time to time...))

20k ped self challenge:
Think I may start just not TTing anything or selling anything and just convert shrapnel in to universal ammo, until I've got at least 20k ped or so in tt value sitting in various looted junk, then look in to doing something interesting?
---
(I do TT shrapnel to repair armor and weapons when needed)
...
I think what I'll probably do, when not working on taming, (or after all of the prereq bars for the zoo is unlocked and each of the zoo animals are high enough level ot exist on any planet) is each of the iron missions for the mobs below 20 hp, and then swap over to the repeatable missions for mob in same hp level as those below 20 health critters...
---
(currently not working on taming much til Mindark does more with it and compet integration... I am skilled enough to use a Boiga whip but don't care to climb the skill ladder on taming the more rare stuff much til there's more to taming than there is currently...)
....
Think I may do the one timer missions first, than come back to the repeatable ones after each planets one time through are done... may even limit it down to all 10 hp mobs on each planet before going up to the 15 or 20, etc.?
Also may hold off on the 'unknowns' on last stages on wiki until it's 'known' what the reward is and if last stage is repeatable... too much uncertainty is not always a good thing in this game.

Below 20 HP Mobs - Arkadia:
Current standings:
Mob: Min HP

Arkadian Hornet HP: 10
Notes:
- found inside and just south of Victorious Firebase (18585, 10244) (that's the TP on bottom of the alphabetic list of TPs on Arkadia if you have it.. simply scroll down to bottom of tp list at nearest tp)
- from Victorious run straight south and jump over or go around the big Firebase wall (I usually use stairs and jump over)... Stay somewhat close to the south wall of the firebase, especially if you do the select next type hunting with auto loot pills, etc. since there are some bigger maturities of other type of mobs not too far away.. don't want to aggro them unless you are ready to take em on.

Higher than 20 HP Mobs on Arkadia (for Later)...

ACTUALLY... NUSUL SHOULDN'T BE LISTED ABOVE SINCE IT'S WAY OVER 20 HP... IT'S NOT A BELOW 20 MOB FOR THE MISSION!. The tameable Puny nusul which only has 20 HP is does NOT count towards the mission if I remember correctly... The mob that do count is young and up which have HP that starts at 330! I did kill a few for the Christmas mission, and just to try out different mobs, but going forward I won't be ready to tackle 330+HP mobs on a regular basis since I'm going to just be focused on the low HP mob for a while with this thing...

Nusul HP: 20 FOR PUNY TAMEABLE, 330+ HP for Young and Up...
NOTES:
- Wave spawn at grid 27641, 11298 Waves are kind of annoying because they appear to be timed... so if you don't kill enough mobs before timer ends you may have wasted a lot of ammo on mob that disappears before you can loot it! It is a good way to get a bunch of mob at once, but just be warned! (The rewards for this chain are nice, but you also pay for it in the decay on all that HP you have to wipe out)

IFN Challenge - Nusul Stage 1
Objective: Kill 75 Nusul
Reward: Power Fist (eq. 0.23 PED implant)

IFN Challenge - Nusul Stage 2
Objective: Kill 400 Nusul

Objective: Kill 12000 Nusul
Reward: Psyche (100 Tokens) and Electrokinesis (eq. 2.89 PED implant) or

==========================
Arkadia Taming Notes:
When I'm skilling up on taming on Arkadia I'm mostly doing it South of Robot Factory where a lot of the puny Nusul can be found. Most of the tamed mobs end up in storage in Arkadia Underground until I can find some non-buffy times to convert the low end pets in to animal essence or do something interesting with them. I mainly focus on puny nusul on Ark when I want to tame since Pandi isn't exportable, etc. Oratan Miner might be fun to chase some day, but my skill level is a bit low for them at the moment.
