Daikiba Stampede!


This is one of my favourite hunting spots for Daikiba. The Daikiba Stampede. Located across the river to the East of South Swamp Camp is a green peninsula which has several Daikibas spread across it. Venture further East-North-East on this green peninsula and You will come to a less lush area almost at the southern coast.

This Wave Event has three entrances; West, North-West and East:

West Entrance (63552,74523) 

North-West Entrance (63570, 74688) 

East Entrance (63771, 74610) 

The Wave Event has 5 rounds that starts when You enter the Event Area. Each wave has progressively mature Daikibas:



Daikiba/Wave12345
L4 Young16.5(a)10*
L4 Mature5(a)12*
L5 Old1(a)6*
L6 Provider3*
L7 Guardian**
L8 Dominant
*At least one present in that round.
(a)Data from less than 5 incidents.
(The above table will be updated when data becomes available)

With the progression of maturity in the Daikibas in each wave, supposedly the loot from the 5th and last wave should be rewarding.

When exiting the wave event either by completion or by death, the wave event will be available after 20 minutes.If multiple combattants are in the wave area then just one remaining combatant in the event area will keep the event alive, thus giving the combatants getting killed or other wise leaving the event area the possibility to return. When killed You will be revived at the nearby Outpost (63228, 74417) 

Happy Hunting!


See You, Out There! :-)

Disciple Progression

Edited June 19th 2012:

FINALLY!!

I'm almost there! I am ready for my "graduation hunt" with my mentor! When I have completed that and my mentor has graduated me, I will post my graduation gift from Planet Calypso/Mind Ark.

I decided to take a closer look at how I progress as a Disciple with attention to the relationship between the 3 meassured skills and the progression percentage.

I will probably not be able to unlock the mechanism behind Mentor - Disciple progression but at least I can record my progression and maybe someone can use the info?

As you can see I do Hunting mostly, then Mining, then Crafting. And most of the Engineering actually comes from mining and repairing vehicles.

At the moment I am going to do more Hunting before I do more Crafting as Hunting increases my (*) Weaponry Technology skill. 

That is if I hunt with a Laser (Rifle or Pistol) I skill Laser Weaponry Technology, if I hunt with a BLP (Rifle or Pistol) I skill BLP Weaponry Technology. And the greater those skills are, the better the chance of I get of successfully crafting a weapon in that category (Laser, BLP, etc).



See You out there! ;-)

My first Global!

It's been a while since I wrote something here ....

I've been hunting a lot lately, mainly on Daikibas.

This started with Merry Mayhem 2011 since I was in Category 1 whos target was? Daikibas. I've now completed the 1,000 Shinkiba Mission from Twin Peaks Mission Broker and has started the 5,000 Shinkiba Mission. (For some reason Daikibas count in this one as well. Not sure why? If You know, please write it in the comments section).

My favourite place to hunt Daikibas is east South Swamp Camp, across the river.

I prefer the Outpost at (63229, 74418) as a starting point as it is closer to most of the Daikibas in the area. If I go to far north and/or west I end up at South Swamp Camp (, ).

The only weakness with the Outpost is that it has only a Revival Point, Repair Terminal and Trade Terminal, so You cannot put anything into or out of your storage, and it is not possible to TelePort here.

Now on to the title of this post: I got my very first global today! Hunting an L7 Daikiba Guardian I got 51 PEDs of loot :-)

I am not entirely sure of the content of the loot, but the main drop was a full TT Emik S50 (L) @ 45 PED TT value.

I am keeping this BLP Pistol together with a 34 PED value one I got earlier for skilling up my BLP skills. I need to work a bit on my BLP skills though as the SIB on both Ranged BLP (Dmg) and BLP Pistoleer (Hit) starts at 3.0. Both of mine are in the 2.x range.

I am very excited about getting my very first Global, and look forward to more up ahead :-)



See You out there! ;-)
