I am broke! ....

I guess this was coming ....   I am now down to 0.03 PED ... Now it's time to do some serious sweating on Planet Calypso!

One way of gathering fund is sweating mobs (creatures) for Vibrant Sweat. An advanced way is Swunting; Sweating and Hunting.

How to Swunt:
You can swunt in a group or alone. Which is best depends on the mob. If you can deal with the mob yourself, you get a better percentage of the sweat and loot. But when in a group, the bigger the group, the bigger the mob and thus more sweat and better loot. In general it is better to be in a group, in my view.

Anyway, back to swunting. You sweat the mob until you get the message "you cannot gather anymore sweat from this creature". When in a group or with other people there, it is then polite to annouce that the mob is "dry". Then you can kill the mob with your weapon and loot it. That is the hunting part of swunting.

I hope that helps ;-)


Next time I write, I will post a message about swunting close to Port Atlantis.


See you out there ;-)

Mining Trip

Today I decided to go on a mining trip. In order to do so I had to acquire some mining probes, så I bought 20 probes at a value of PED 1.00.

To track how much I have spent on this mining trip I put everything I could in the sell window of a Trade Terminal (TT) to see it's TT Value. So with my weapon, ammo, tools and probes I had stuff at TT value of PED 13.68. I also have PED 3.02 on my PED Card, for a total of PED 16.70.

What I had misunderstood was that searching for materials takes 20 probes, so I only got one "shot", which incidently did not give anything, not even any skills. So already here there was a loss of PED 1.

So it turned into a Swunting (Sweat Gathering & Hunting) trip instead.

I made the mistake to use another healer device than the Vivo T1. I have (nearly) maxed out the Vivo T1 (Heal Interval 7.7-10.3, uses per min: 19/20), and looted the Flap on an earlier hunting trip.

It is more powerful (Heal Interval 16.0-16.0) than the Vivo T1, with a bigger max and faster heal (25 per min) although I am not skilled enough to do the max heal.

I went just north of Port Atlantis for this trip. Dying a few times I ended up at the Outpost, just north of Port Atlantis.
At the end I had items of TT value PED 12.62 and PED 0.02 for a total of PED 12.64. So a total loss of PED 4.06.

I did gain 101 Vibrant Sweat and 22 Blazar Fragments though which the TT values at PED 0.00. The Blazar Fragments has a markup at around 44,000 % today. I don't know the going rate of Vibrant Sweat these days.

So I lost a bunch of PEDs today, but I hope I gathered a little knowledge ;-)

See You out there! :-)
