Looking for Weapon Amps

In my quest to get my PEDs last longer I am trying to make the most of the ammo and weapons that I use.

So first of all I started hunting "naked" - that is without armour, as it gets damaged which equals money being spent on repairs. With the mobs I am hunting at the moment (Daikibas mainly) it is simply not worth it.

Another way of making your PEDs last is to use an Amp for your weapon. It adds damage for a minimal added decay and ammo burn. Thus you get more damage per PED spent. But you have to look at the repair or replacement cost plus the extra ammo cost in relation to the added damage.

So currently I am looking for the following amps:

Omegaton A101
Omegaton A102

If you one (or more) of these for sale then feel free to contact me. Leave a comment here below or find me in-game - I am often in Twin Peaks on PLanet Calypso.

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! ;-)

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! :-)
