    Deep in our hearts, aren't we all still wearing Orange Jumpsuits? :rolleyes:

    Need experienced opinion on newb plan

    Except the plan was to buy a quad =P Still somewhat grim. 120 PEDs or so for one I think? So, sweating 1k/day, and at 1.7 PED/K which is what most people (resellers and whatnot) seem to buy at around the clock, let's see... 70 days of sweating, roughly. It's not realistic to consider it takes 3...

    Very interesting point. I'll do some math on that to try and figure out a general tipping point where it may be worthwhile to refine.

    Will correct the corrected correction :eyecrazy: Love to get input on that sort of stuff, as I still have some things in my head from back when it was eco to hunt with opalo + a104 that I never re-tested, and since I didn't read patch notes for all updates that happened while I wasn't playing...

    Isn't the guide stuck at vu 10 or so? :confused: That's one of the reasons why I'm writing the Tao, anyway, which I did link :cool: And inviting everyone, new and old alike, to offers suggestions and contributions to make it more complete.

    It's true that 100 peds will last you a long time on puny mobs. You should however still sweat 'em before killing. If you don't, you'll end up having to go back to sweating later on in order to raise your Evader profession level, as everything in early game can be killed quickly enough that you...

    Need experienced opinion on newb plan

    First of all, welcome to entropia. :D Looks good so far, except FAP 5 is non-sib I believe. Substitute for first Vivo T1 (9 ped), then Herb Box when you max it. You'll skill faster and more economically. Good, but do it with herb box instead, unless you plan to specialize in mindforce healing...

    And a bump to let everyone know that the new section about Spreadsheets and tracking your returns is done - including an example of a hunting log that you can copy to use for yourself. I hope you all enjoy it :D As usual, feel free to reply here with comments, suggestions, criticism, or...

    Some things to do very early in the game as a non-depositor: Find a Mentor, preferably one who can be online around the same time you usually play Collect Sweat to sell and build a PED reserve Try collecting oil at the Orthos Oil Field Read a guide to help you figure out the game while...

    EU/MA/Caly is losing money to Chinese gold farmers.

    Depends on the size of the line and if people are there to kill the poor people =P On ideal conditions, yeah, its faster to make PEDs at the oil rig. On the other hand, one would probably make more money doing surveys and crowdsourcing, or just botting on a different game entirely, if one is...

    Thanks may, I'll be using your suggestion of a list of step-by-step goals and a summary of the 'meat and potatoes' of information at the end of each chapter. I tend to be very long-winded at times, so that will be fairly challenging, to extract a tl;dr of sorts to put at the end. I want to do...

    EU/MA/Caly is losing money to Chinese gold farmers.

    Well, exactly, it's really too little to be worth it, and if you factor in how many times you'd have to run it, the difficulty of writing a bot for the entire thing (takes an hour or more of going back and forth over a very non-linear path, 30 minutes if don't you include after-gateway missions...

    Why Mindark going bankrupt would be great for EU ...

    And those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable, according to JFK. Forum posters do more harm to the retention of new players - and by extension, to the community itself - than any MA snafu ever would. :cool:

    Cool, thanks for the info. I was absent from the game during that update and completely missed that :eek: Already updated the document and the original post with your contribution, feel free to leave suggestions (either about what I've already covered, or about what I should include in the...
