All depends on how faar you want to go
15.000 ped is a good amount for a New Player, untill you Hit a higher dps range
1500 is a lot of money to put in a game but if you are able to put more.. then add a Zero and you are good to go for a while
But i higly recommend you to depo 150 first and learn the basics
Most importent to know in EU is trading and track of mu, use entropiawiki to see what mobs drop what , do some Tests to see if the avg mu does good to you
And yes ... some people (i dont want to Name any footballer)forgot where they came from, talking big but not helping the community
I dont know your play style but boxes are the best ATM
I do it like this : grind mayhem put the boxes i open on side like 1500 open those and sell the others,
But ur safe to buy them for 0.80 each
If you Hold 5 clds the worst you get will be 2.5 ped per week each.
Its smarter to use this amount of peds 15.000 to go hunting for mu or use it for reselling purpose but still this will need a little learning
So we talk about 50 min to 120 max ped you can "lose" untill you have to touch the other peds.
On the curent dps range i hunt atm i Lose 120 ped in few hours
Game System is kinda dynamic lets say you have 10.000 ped after you burn your 10.000 ped you will get in return 85-98 % so thats a instand loss of 1500 ped
Depending on how high your shrp rate is you can get 50 ped from shrp back in universal amo out of 5k shrp so you lost now 1450. Worst case (easy to Cover when you go for mu drops or resell stuff every now and then ... even if its only 20 ped per sale out of 10 trades you still add up 200 , turns your 1450 loss to 1250 loss.
What i try to explain you is the force behind peds. 5 clds is frozen money.
I rather choose 15.000 ped liquid but thats only because i know what to buy and sell
My two pec
Hope i see you doing well in Entropia
