Yesterday was my first day, and I gathered 700 sweat and had a blast.
I'm not sure if it gets old, but yesterday, the only reason why I felt a need to sell at all is to eventually buy a weapon for finishing off the beast once it's dry.
I may very well deposit, but many of the guides suggest players start by sweating in order to understand the game mechanics and economy, so that's what I did. I had fun, and can't figure out why I would need higher sweat prices to have fun. Maybe it becomes "work" at some point, but I'm not there yet.
By the way, since I haven't bought a weapon yet, could someone tell me if those easy beasts we sweat drop decent enough loot to pay for (or almost pay for) the ammo it takes to kill them, once dry? If it's too expensive/inefficient to get the beasts off you once they are dry, then maybe it could get old. As long as I can afford to kill off the dry beasts, I'll have even more fun than I did weaponless.
