C'mon, fess up? (He's gone mad again hasn't he!) Who flicked the skill gain switch for my account?
Aaargh, Level 39 was a pain, it was all going very well, made 38.5 by the end of Saturday so felt that acheiving 39 shouldn't be a problem at all... ugh. It was all proceeding as expected up until about hunt 20 when the skill gains just stopped...dead. It was like someone had flicked a switch... "no more for you sonny-jim." I was hunting away, moving around the spawn, getting aggro'd... "What the deuce?" I couldn't seem to get any joy. I hope it was just a 'phase' and I will have to see how the next week of hunting goes. Either way, I should have Coolness before the weekend is over at the end of this week. Over the week I will have to monitor the skill gains.
I'm even wondering if it is some kind of self-defense mechanism of Entropia Universe. I have never seen gains stop so abruptly before, NEVER. What do I mean by self-defense mechanism? What I mean is that to prevent people from skilling 24x7 and gaining super amounts of skill in a short calendar space of time the skill gains are just reduced to a minimum after a set number of hours have been logged within a particular time-frame. I'm just taking a shot in the dark, it could be that just-like-that I've outgrown Argonauts and need to move on to a different mob... but not before I obtain Coolness!
Level 39 - A whole lot of work!
I counted 22 hunts from Level 38 to 39, thus far that gives data of:
35-36: 17
36-37: 19
37-38: 19
scratch2
38-39: 22
If I look at this on an average increase per hunt the figure I get is [NOPARSE](with workings[/NOPARSE]
(d1+d2+d3)/dn
Where:
d1 is difference 1
d2 is difference 2
d3 is difference 3
dn is number of hunts/differences
Therefore:
d1 = (L36-L37) - (L35-L36) = 2
d2 = (L37-L38) - (L36-L37) = 0
d3 = (L38-L39) - (L37-L38) = 3
dn = 3
Thus:
(d1+d2+d3)/dn = (2+0+3)/3 = 1.66
If I stuck with Argonauts (given the current data) it would take, on average, an 1.66 increase in the number of hunts per level. However, if the skill gain I was getting last night is going to continue, then I expect to see this figure increase significantly over the next week.
My HP has stopped tracking my main profession so tightly now, I new that wouldn't last forever so now the professions 'metre' is getting away from the HP metre. I'm currently running around with 119 HP I should hit 120 by the time Coolness arrives and then that should start to move quickly again until Coolness slows down.
I also managed to hit Level 36 Ranged Laser yesterday... only 9 more to Wounding!.
Other news: Let's not forget the big news of the weekend!!! I made the 10k HoF barrier!! At last!

One word... über ,-)
The irony is I had popped out to buy a UKash ticket to desposit but hadn't actually deposited it yet, something told me to just leave it alone until I absolutely needed it...
I was fortunate to catch an old friend online last night; Collector. He's been an in-game buddy for a long time now and it's good to see him logging in again. I made the decision to invite him into the Shadow of the Beast society, he's a great friend to have and loves a spot of pKing, as do I. I'm intending for my society to be a Land Grab capable society by next year, but this is going to require a lot of work by the society and by me in recruiting the right individuals.
So, in order to actually recruit him, I had to go through a wormhole to actually achieve this! Good ol' Collector
You can always trust Collector to open up a Wormhole for you ,-)
That's it for now, my next Blog should be between Friday and Sunday of this week. Good luck and HoF all!
