Great progress. Keep it up.
Don't worry, any time someone makes good progress in the game or puts in a lot of hours, there's a group that insists you must be botting because they don't understand how multitasking works and how easy this game is to play in the background semi-afk.
Thanks
@detritus2.0, appreciate the kind words!
In soc chat we took notice of you already this summer; an entirely new name coupled with those fairly savvy mob choices and we said "yep, he knows what he's doing, that's either a veteran with a new avatar or someone with an experienced friend". It's quite refreshing to see new players with determination and a plan.
I smell a lot of jealousy and suspicion in this thread already, but those people also would never pick up on the clues such as the ones I mentioned above, or have any idea of how your accomplishment can be done, so they start pointing fingers instead. Hopefully the subtle hostility only fuels your determination if anything. It was a nice read and I bet this thread will inspire many players, both old and new. Good luck with your upcoming goals and EU career!
Thanks
@UnaAlconbury! Well you were all right haha, I've definitely had an experienced friend throughout this journey so far! Honestly the impact of a good mentor that fits your playstyle and you get on with is incredible in this game!
Honestly my determination is even stronger after such an awesome response from the EU community! I really hope this does help and maybe even inspire others, as anything I can do anyone can do too
@Tsuki Ryoku awesome progress, i will admit i am a little (very) jealous, in all of the right ways!
questions:
- if you could go back and change one thing and one thing only that you did "wrong", what would you change and why?
- how much in total deposits to get there as fast?
- any plans on future withdrawals, or do you only see EU as a game and are not planning to earn from it?
- do you auction all loot, or do you recycle most low-MU items?
i am taking a small break from cycling and rethinking my avatar, regearing and trying to plan ahead this time... in the low 40s right now but really hoping to get to 70+ for 2026 and your thread is very inspiring
Thanks
@T16-5 MADMAwith nastya!
Great questions!
- if you could go back and change one thing and one thing only that you did "wrong", what would you change and why?
I would have focused on my initial goal and guidance and nothing else! I had multiple points where I allowed myself to get distracted. I decided to do some space mining (analysis codex reward), Cryo training, Arso training, getting involved with events just generally doing a bit of everything to try it all out. Whilst this was fun, I should have waited until I had hit my target really. Once I was able to use the Mayhem Electric 15, perfected the things available to me amplified significantly. So many doors opened for me at once, it felt amazing having so much more content suddenly available to me!
- how much in total deposits to get there as fast?
I posted up my 0-90 numbers in my first posts along with my gear in the thread which should give you a fair indication. Most of the deposits I have made have gone into gear leaving myself with enough bankroll to skill, trade and recover as needed. I'd honestly like to increase my bankroll a bit to give me a bit more flexibility, but we shall see. You could still achieve it without anywhere near as much investment, but it would just take longer is all.
- any plans on future withdrawals, or do you only see EU as a game and are not planning to earn from it?
I asked myself this the other day funnily enough. My first goal was sustainability, but it's now morphed into sustainability whilst still growing at a good pace. I'm definitely not there yet and there's so much more progress to be had skill and gear wise! I realistically need grow my ped card quite a bit to reach my goals, so if I did contemplate a withdrawal it would be a long way down the line! I have really grown to love this game and would always keep a stake in it regardless.
- do you auction all loot, or do you recycle most low-MU items?
I try to keep an amount of each resource in stock in case of spikes in the market, the remainder would either be sold on auction or nano cubed if the MU on cubes is higher at the time. I've really started to understand what people meant by bankroll is king. Being able to hold items back and sell them for more MU when the time is right is very helpful in controlling your balance.
What a nice read, congrats for the progress!
(I already voted Tsuki for the best noob around the block, hearing from Isa and also seeing what kidn of mobs he was chasing it was clear a very fast progress of both avatar growth and for achieving sustainability. )
Scimitar is great and for a very fast growth, I would suggest try mayhem trauma 5 and see how it compares over a few hours of using it, with the trauma 3. Also, the scimitar is not to bad for PVP, if you choose well your battles
Thank you for sharing your journey and looking forward for the next episode!
Thanks
@Evey and appreciate the vote too
I will definitely look into trying out a Mayhem Trauma 5 on the scimitar hopefully I can source one by the time I hit 80 swordsman (Hit), I'll have to come try it out at the Landgrabs when I can use it to it's fullest!
Sorry if i've missed replying to anyone i will go through again later when i have a bit more time!
