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 ;-)

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 ;-)

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! ;-)
