More mining.....


I did another mining run this morning at the same spot as last night. I decided to run from north to south today rather than West to East as I did yesterday. 

I am not sure, if it was because of this or because I hit this place less than 12 hours ago, but this morning I made 15 drops (450 Survey Probes worth 22.50 PEDs) and found nothing .....   bummer!

and to top that off I realized that when I did the repair round yesterday, I forgot my Vivo :-( so now I am (almost) broke and with a dwindling supply of Survey Probes (around 30 more drops) and no functioning Vivo .....   oh well, just need to get lucky or start sweating again ;-)


See you soon, out there ;-)

More mining

I had a little chat with my mentor and we decided that it would be good for me to concentrate on Mining. So I went to one of my frequent mining spots and started mining with the now tier upgraded F-101.

The result was a nice success and I managed to get both Lysterium Stone, Blausariam Stone and Crude Oil in quantities large enough to pay for the probes used and the repair of my excavator, which was getting close to being worn out.

I decided to refine the Lysterium Stone into ingots and sold them and a few ones I had in storage in Twin Peaks. I got a markup (MU) of about 113% which is fair considering auction fees etc, had I decided to sell them on auction.

I repaired the excavator, my armour and my Castorian Combat enBlade-A and bought additional Survey Probes (although not as many as I had used). I also put up two items for Auction:


  • Welding Wire Blueprint (L)
  • Emik S30 (L)

I wanted them both to run for 4 days but made a mistake on the Emik S30 (L) - it only runs a day. Have a look at the auction if you're in the market for those (hint - buy mine, please ;-)


See you soon, out there ;-)

Mentor system is back!

The mentor system is back and it is time for me to use it to its fullest potential. I have not seen my original mentor for quite some time so I decided to start over with a new mentor from my Society.
I very much look forward to working with my mentor and develop my skills.


See you soon, out there ;-)

News update

It has been quite a while since I have written a piece. A lot has happened during this time.
I was lucky enough to get another transfer from back home, which I used to buy 2000 Survey Probes which I went mining with using my Finder F-101, that I crafted earlier.
Using this, I managed to both skill mining and drilling. And the Finder F101 is now tier 0.9.
I could try to tier upgrade it my self but I think that I would loose too much material, as my skill level is too low. So I have asked someone in my Society - Synergen - to help me out.
I have not used all my probes but as the F-101 is 'stuck' at tier 0.9 until it is upgraded I needed to do something else.
So I bought a complete Pixie armour set as individual parts on auction. I got most parts at 2 PEDs each and then I had to repair it. I guess I spent about 20 PEDs in total.
I also bought a Castorian Combat enBlade-A as someone told me that it was better to hunt with.
I am not sure if that is the case. It is expensive in repair so although you do not have to buy ammo you need to repair quite often. In return I have skilled my strength up so that I am now able to carry 245 kg of gear. I also gained professions in Swords.


See you soon, out there ;-)
