well as a nuber with decent skills, i went on a sweat binge for the last two days for not sweat's sake but for skills. my society mate terran sweated his way into 90k sweat and purchased a full evade chip from his hard work. he's over 500 now btw, not sure of the level, but well over 500.
i would just like to point out the benefit that can be made to uber sweating not previously allowed to me since i capped at 120 from teleporting, by sweating that is now allowed with no cap:
(sweating)
courage
athletics
combat reflexes
agility
serendipity
sweat gatherer
concentration
(fapping while sweating)
diagnosis
first aid
(scanning while sweating)
scan animal
perception
analysis
(killing off dry mobs)
powerfist
shortblades
longblades
melee combat
etc.
i see many benefits to sweating since 8.5, not limited to "free" or low cost mind essence for personal use through some skilling while sweating and well placed enmatter mining.
sweat gatherer: 198 atm and growing
good luck to the 1k winner, i do not think it will be me.
