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 ;-)

TP run :-)

I ran into a guy yesterday (name withheld as I haven't asked permission to publish it, yet), called Sloe, who was so kind to give me a lift to several teleports (TP) here on Planet Calypso. He was the nicest guy and I owe him a lot of thanks.

The main goal (for me, atleast) was to get to Twin Peaks, as it seems to be the centre of trade. But he was patient enough to take me to several other places like the teleport in Jason Centre. We also went to TPs in Boreas, Fort Troy, Osere and Athena Space Port, where i am now. I do not know much about these places, but I will in the near future :-)

I now have to explore these new areas for what they can offer in hunting, mining and missions/quests. Especially Twin Peaks needs a closer look for it's trade possibilities on top of the mining and hunting.

See You soon! ;-)

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! ;-)

Oil for sale

Hi all @ Planet Calypso!

I have some (refined) Oil for sale, 292 at the moment. I do not have a vehicle (yet) so my use for Oil is quite limited. Please feel free to contact me! I am usually quite 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! :-)
