Hi
I'm absolute newbee and I know allmost nothing :rolleyes:
At the moment I'm at fort Troy. But when I get outside, I'll be killed by some psychotic fouls.
I shoot again and again but without result, I die ...
I have only EVE EP-1 NEUTRON. That weapon is maybe nothing worth here?
Should I buy another weapon?
I'm stuck right now ...
 
You should use the Teleporter and go to either Camp Icarus or Port Atlantis and hunt the Punys there, that gun should be fine for those.

If you want some more suggestions of good newb weapons, here's a few:

- Barbarella you can get from Entropia Webshop
- Sollomate Opalo you can get from other players in game or shops in game
- If you go hunt the Prototype drones at Orthos Oil Well, you will loot Rubios and Azuros, which are ok for now
- Level 5 Ozpyn Chon S1X1 is pretty popular unlimited gun for beginners (not recommended if you are still level 1)

Good luck o/

If you are at troy cross to the isle of troy and go to top of hill. Last hunts I had there there seemed to be more fruit there than elsewhere for some reason

p.s.

Also, if you get over on cyrene the maze hammers recently lost a bunch of weight.

oh and....
How To Survive 2 - An experiment to see how long I can play without depositing after an initial bankroll that will help me keep going and hopefully increase my bankroll slowly through markup.

Seeing as the original thread and post can no longer be edited and the thread generated a lot of interesting dialogue I thought as I am returning to the game I would kick start this project again.

I am going to try to make this thread more concise but also read almost like a guide for new players who want to learn about hunting, whilst learning other important aspects to this game.


Weapons - Offence

Here is a table of all the best weapon setups available for a beginner!
Weapon NameAmplifierDecayAmmoCostDPPRangeHitsDPS
Omegaton M2100A1 (L)ZX Sinkadus0.050+158 =1.6302.98526.40M705.68

Sollomate Onyxo (L)Omegaton A1010.682+166 =2.3422.96839.60M445.10
S.I. ScorpionZX Sinkadus 0.176+123 =1.4062.96630.80M835.77
Z12 BarbarellaOmegaton A1010.672+215 =2.8222.95560.50M486.67
The best gun options are all in the top 4 for economical hunting! Hunting with DPP means you will loot less Shrapnel, however the same could be said about DPS because you are spending less time dealing damage on the mob and receiving damage you'll have to heal up, so the choice is yours.




Melee Setups

Here is a table of all the best melee setups available for a beginner!
Weapon NameAmplifierDecayUsesDPPRangeHitsDPS
S.I. Psy-SwordMelee Trauma Amp 12.8097582.96904.00M223.06
Maze HammerMelee Trauma Amp 12.8172522.96105.00M223.06

FalcataMelee Trauma Amp 13.3893892.87104.00M569.08
The best melee options are all in the top 4 for economical hunting! As melee items don't allow for you to attach sights and scopes to augment the efficiency rating, hunting with melee long term isn't great. Skilling melee to increase the Strength attribute, and for some health gains for hunting.


Attachments - Offence

Here is a table of the two best attachments available for a beginner!
Attachment NameTypeQuantitySkill ModSkill BonusDecayEfficiency
Longreach 4Scope1150.90.08383.00%
Bullseye 8Sight2241.70.11083.00%
ArMatrix Extender P10 (L)Extender100.010%85.00%
Thanks to the changes brought in with Loot 2.0, it is now adviceable to attach the above three items unto your pistol or carbine/rifle to increase the efficiency rating to get back higher returns. This is just another reason to not skill melee, but melee has it's benefits as mentioned above.


Weapon Efficiency

Here is a table of all the efficiency rating with and without attachments!
Weapon NameAmplifierEff % BaseEff % AttachEff % Ext
Omegaton M2100A1 (L)ZX Sinkadus65.2% (0.0)67.9% (2.7)67.9% (0.0)
Bukin's Spare RifleOmegaton A10165.2% (0.0)67.3% (2.1)67.5% (0.2)
S.I. HK110ZX Sinkadus64.8% (0.0)67.9% (3.1)68.5% (0.6)
Ozpyn Chon S1X1Omegaton A10164.8% (0.0)66.9% (2.1)67.2% (0.3)


Armour - Defence

Here is a table of the best armour sets available for a beginner!
Armour NameCloseFirearmsExoticDurabilityTT ValueDPP
Harrier Assault, Adjusted060300060012.0020.00
CDF Scout090300180014.5020.00
Pixie, Adjusted230012280028.6020.00
Musca, Adjusted240803280028.6020.00
Rifi Armor ME250010280028.6020.00
Due to very recent changes made to armour this aspect of hunting can no longer be ignored. Armour now has an economical rating of 20 damage per pec absored for armour or plate. This is amazing news, as all decay get returned back into the loot but you can hunt without healing!


Healing - Defence

Here is a table of the best healing tools available for a beginner!
Healing Tool NameSourceHealE/ HealDecayHPPTTHitsHPS
Medkit (L)Rocktropia12.0012.000.50024.0000.503006.00
Refurbished H.E.A.R.T. Rank VICyrene36.0031.501.75018.0014.002010.50

10-Pulse UnitStarter Pack18.0015.751.48710.5907.002406.30
The best healing tool which you can obtain from a quest on Cyrene the Refurbished is well worth it. Although it is not as economical as utilising armour against a creature, and provide you with more loots drops which are optimal. Also you'll gain faster evader skills getting hit whilst wearing armour.


Skill Optimisation

Here is a table of the skills available for a hunting beginner!
SkillPurpose
SkinningContributes 35% to all looter prof's (Use attachments to skill faster)
ButcheringContributes 10% to all looter prof's (This skill gets unlocked at level 30)
PerceptionContributes 09% to all looter prof's (Pick 1st from quest rewards)
AlertnessContributes 06% to all looter prof's (Pick 2nd from quest rewards)
AnatomyContributes 07% to all looter prof's (Pick 3rd from quest rewards)
EvadeContributes 25% towards your evader (Use Armour/Plates to skill faster)
Athletics (533/HP)Contributes 14% towards your evader (Pick 1st from quest rewards)
Combat Reflexes (1600/HP)Contributes 11% towards your evader (Pick 2nd from quest rewards)
Courage (320/HP)Contributes 07% towards your evader (Pick 3rd from quest rewards)
AlertnessContributes 05% towards your evader (Pick 4th from quest rewards)
The skills new players should be selecting from their rewards if they want to be a hunter full time are perception and alertness, anatomy can be gained quite easily in comparison to the other skills. Remember that a higher Looter Profession, allows you to receive more loot to help your returns.


Rings - Miscellaneous

Here is a table of the two best rings available for a beginner!
Ring NameEffect 1Effect 2Effect 3Hand

Ares Ring, ImprovedReload Speed 8%Critical Chance 0.6%Critical Dmg 8%Right

Hermetic Ring, ModifiedRun Speed 15%N/AN/ALeft
Hermetic Ring, AugmentedRun Speed 20%N/AN/ALeft
Hermetic Ring, PerfectedRun Speed 25%N/AN/ALeft
For any hunter looking to make hunting their main focus and profession, getting these two rings is a must. The Ares Ring's help with being able to turn over quickly and ensures all kills are as cheap as possible through its effects. The Hermetic Ring's for the best effect is to be used with long-range items.


Hunting Tips

Here is a table of all the best tips available for a hunting beginner!
Pre Loot 2:0 Hunting TipDescription & Explanation
No. 1Hunt the lowest maturity mobs, as this will greatly reduce loot volatility.
No. 2Hunt to be able to kill 3000 mobs, as this'll allow for volatility to even out.
No. 3Ensure your PED balance can kill 3000+ mobs before complaining of loot.
No. 4Use armour to begin building up defence skills, it'll be far more beneficial.
No. 5Ensure that you avoid any over-amping and to reduce any overkill.
No. 6Once defence skills are up, try to kill mobs before they reach you.
No. 7Use teams to make kills cheaper on att/def decay and hunt longer.
No. 8Avoid using melee to skill with, unless you want more strength or hp.
No. 9Only sell your loot once you've gone through your balance for ammo.
No. 10You hunt at the highest dpp & dps you can afford to maintain long term.
Post Loot 2:1 Hunting TipDescription & Explanation
No. 1Use Armour, plates, scope & sights, as all decay gets returned in loot.
No. 2Use heal only when the mob has been hit for that decay to be recorded.
No. 3Use a finisher gun that has a low ammo burn to improve your optimal loot.
No. 4Get your looter profession up and relevant for the mob you're hunting.
No. 5Use items to increase Focus Blow/Crit Damage for cheaper kills.
No. 6Use items to increase speed walking backwards for cheaper kills.
No. 7Prioritise efficiency over damage per pec, as this affects your returns.
No. 8Reduce any unnecessary actions to stop you dealing damage to mob.
No. 9Hunting with DPP allows you to loot less Shrapnel and more loot.
No. 10Hunting with DPS allows you to loot less Shrapnel and more loot.
Try to memorise some of these, they could mean the difference between profiting or not. So ensure to read these and slowly begin to incorporate them into your playstyle so it then begins to build that pattern in your hunting grinds and you will never step a foot wrong and be victorious.

-camp icarus and port Atlantis are good places for beginner hunters
 
Welcome to Entropia

Camp Icarus offers a mission to collect the Bukins rifle which is a very fine weapon.

While at Icarus there is also the gauntlet mission that will reward you with 10 ped of UA (universal ammo) and a unlimited healing pack.

I would advice on this path also.

Good luck and welcome to Entropia, keep your budget acceptable for you and you will be fine.
