New Puny mission with VU 12.5.2

For those of us not overly skilled, the VU 12.5.2 came with a new Puny mission chain on Planet Calypso.

You get the missions from Ingrid J at South Swamp Camp. And as a new feature, when you complete one mission, you will be asked - in the field - if you want to accept the next mission in the chain. If this applies to all missions or just this one, I am not sure, but it is really a big help, not having to go back to the broker to accept the next mission in the chain.

Currently I have encountered these missions in the chain:

Hunt 100 Puny (bonus Aim Skill)
Hunt 500 Puny (bonus Anatomy Skill)
Hunt 1,000 Puny (bonus Combat Reflexes Skill)
Hunt 5,000 Puny (bonus )

There are plenty of punies just North of Port Atlantis (PA), on the road from PA to South Swamp Camp (SSC) and around SSC.

Mobs of Puny maturity include: Cautergus (L1), Berycled (L2), Tripudion (L3)

I am using an un-amped Sollomate Opalo (standard TT weapon) which will finish most mobs in 2-3 shots (not counting misses) and sometimes in 1 shot (esp. with Critical hits). I am not using any armour. Both in order to achieve the most economical run I can. It might be even more eco to amp the Opalo with an Omegaton A101 but I have not been able to buy one at a reasonable price yet.

Good hunting!


See You, out there!

Mining trip to Atlas Haven

Now I want to start doing some serious mining on Planet Calypso, but I do not have the PEDs to do it.

So I decided to cash in on my previous diggings, because I found someone that was interested in my Oil. I sold that at a little higher price than TT value but less than the Market Value, but I needed the money, so I went for it.

I also decided to sell off the ore/matter finders I had, a Finder F-101 that I had constructed myself and a Ziplex Z-1 Seeker that I had in my personal storage. The reasoning for selling these items was that I expected to do better with a lot of probing using the newbie Genesis Rookie Finder (L), using only 2 Survey Probes per probing for ore and 1 probe per probing for energy matter than the F-101 and Z-1 that uses 10 times the amount.

So I bought 200 Survey Probes (I had 4 instock from completing the mining quest outside Port Atlantis (PA) for Mr. Hornby) and a the newbie finder Genesis Rookie Finder (L) and set off for the PA Teleport (TP) and went to Atlas Haven (AH).

I only did probes just around Atlas Haven (AH) as there was a lot of mobs out of my league (levels L6-L9), with my lack of protection and only an un-amplified Sollomate Opallo. But I did find a 2 deposits, one oil deposit and one Lysterium Stone deposit. They were Minimal (I) and Tiny (II).

During one of the breaks - I was teleported back to the Revival Terminal :-( - I did a little manufacturing, producing 2 Combustors. A  Combustor is one of the parts for vehicles.

I probably should not have done that, but I was curious to the process and in the process the blueprint quality rose to 1.4 :-) I don't know exactly what that will do for me, but I guess it will improve my chance of success and the condition of my manufacturing of Combustors in the future :-)

For now I think I will stick to the production of the F-101 Finder to improve my skills and maybe, just maybe I will get lucky and get some good condition F-101's to auction off :-)

See You out there! ;-)
