Guide to the Entropia Hunting Museum

Second Edition March 2007

If you are a new player starting out on hunting this museum is intended for you. It mainly displays things that you will come across when you begin plus a few exhibits to show you what else there is beyond that starting point.

Everyone is welcome to use the museum- there is no charge.

Location
The Hunting Museum is in an elegant Palladian house a few hundred yards NW of the Atlas Island South teleport (at 10220, 15160). To reach it from the TP run between the gun turret and the terminal building and just keep going NW until a group of big houses appear in front of you. Two stone Daikibas and a Longu mark the entrance to the museum.

The Hunting Room
Enter the main door and turn left for this room. It displays a range of loots found on particular creatures such as skulls, leathers (made from hides), animal oils, robot parts and DNA samples. A range of mobs’ trophy heads are displayed on the walls.
Defensive tools on show include faps, decoys and an anti-toxin shot as well as a scanner. Heal and focus chips are also there (the equipment needed to insert these is displayed in the entrance hall). About 20 of the lowest cost armors are represented in the face guard displays, arranged in order of defensive strength. An example of an armor plate is also included, and an L and non-L example of one face guard so you can compare them.
The types of offensive weapons represented include rifles, pistols, swords, axes, shortblades, powerfists, whips and mindforce chips, as well as amps and ammo types. The weapons are grouped by type so that you can easily compare their characteristics.

Note that the weapons and armor shown are included so you can see the range of what is available- some of those shown are excellent, others are not. Sources of information that can help you choose are given below.

The Club Room
Enter the main door and turn right for this room. You are very welcome to use it as a meeting place or just to relax in.

Hunting and sweating opportunities nearby
Daikiba and Exosaurs can be hunted near the museum itself or E of the TP. Some are usually found close to the TP if you want to sweat them. For team hunts there are atrox, argos and molisks just across the river behind the museum, with rippersnappers in (and sometimes out of) the river itself some way SE of the TP.

The Museum building and the surrounding area
The building was first owned by Marco Scott-Amundsen a noted early explorer of Eudoria. It was granted to him by the Imperial Government in recognition of his work in preparing geological maps of Eudoria in the first days of the colony. Though the Great Meteor Shower of 2005 changed the distribution of minerals and enmatters considerably those original maps are still believed to be in use by the Government in their planning.
The building’s design is common to many of the bigger early houses built in Eudoria. It is based on an OldWorld style developed by Palladio in what is now the province of Veneto in South Central United Europe. The main walls are built from lysterium. Roof tiles were made from local clays, taken from a small pit on the river bank behind the house; this can still be seen. In the early days the colonists were unable to make window glass with the very pure sands around Corinth, as no way of killing atroxes was then known and the primitive robots used in those times were too weak to collect the sand unprotected. Instead the colonists used foundry sand transported from Pandora. The quarry from which that sand was taken is still there just N of the TP; it is now filled by the beautiful Lake Pandora.
You will see examples of three early types of houses (Adobe, Swiss Chalet and Palladian) on your right as you run from the TP to the museum; many are open to the public.
