Tidesong's Diary

[Tidesong]

Recently I've discovered the joys of free healing and bubbling at Camp Pheonix. The very nice people there hand these out endlessly which helps with sweating alot! I've often tped from fort troy to Pheonix to get some health and bubbles and tp back to sweat solo happily at fort troy.

After discovering that, a soc mate told me he had globalled ( i think thats his first) so he was very happy and he gave me a pair of nice yellow pants that he coloured himself

The next fun thing that happened was that soc mate asked if I wanted to help him sell his spare pixie parts. I happily agreed to do so because I wanted to trying selling out only I have had nothing to sell!

So I trooped down to Port Atlantis and promptly got distracted and helped a newbie answering their questions.

After a while I recognized the person that put down the filters at fort troy for me to arrange into the item art of a cat. I noticed he was selling pixie parts for tt+0.29 so I thought hmm maybe thats a good price.

When he stopped advertising it I started typing ads to sell at tt+0.3 (hey... why bother to type one more number when you can type less and earn more? )

So it actually worked!!! After a while some people ran up to me and started saying they wanted to buy this part or that part and I sold to three different people.

At that time, Mikah was doing the first run for the newbie event on sunday and she got online so I asked if she minded me helping her advertise in PA since I was there and it was a good locations for letting newbies know about it. And she said to do so , so I did and I met crone. And soon enough after the three people sales, It was time for the run.

By that time, Entropia had so much memory leaks due to the heavy traffic in teleport PA that I could barely make it to the biodome and out again!

I lost the whole running group, and made it to billy's separately. When I reached there, I was still experiencing very bad lag, I had attributed that to PA's lag but now it was obvious that I had to relog.

After relogging everything was SOOooo much better, I teleported to Camp Phoenix and they had reached there. I joined the run to Zychion and I dont know why I think they were used to running the path with mobs mostly being hunters, so there was massive hunting and respawning and people dying.

After that, we finally reached Zychion and there was an event there so we had to run out before we got teleported out ( I didnt know this then )
Around this time Ion signed on so I told him what I was up with, he said he would be over
By the time we reached Limnadian, Ion decided to help make things a bit more orderly and I was glad to see that. I had to go sleep though, so that was the end of it.

After that I had one short frantic crazy suicidal episode at Wolverines Hope with the troxes there, with my soc mate in tow... I just love playing tag with those troxes... I now know why people like them... they run so fast! What better mob to play tag with than troxes ... and next to a tp too! How convienient, I like going there for a break from sweating

[Tidesong]

Then the next time I logged on I went back to Camp Pheonix and realized that I was getting some good sweat so I stayed there
(by the way I realized that whoever started that thing about sweating failling when people are in your way... well that may be true in past VUs but its definetly not true anymore!!)
and someone started putting things randomly on the ground (the last time too actually someone put sweat bottles on the tp and I never noticed... and then finally noticed too late)
and said it was a treasure hunt... I got a gnome part... no idea what its good for, the person said it wasnt good for much... oh well, it was fun trying to pick stuff up
Some one brought a bull armax in... which was just waaay awesome and it was happy sweating.

After that I followed my soc mate to see him doing some hardcore hunting, it was fun to just sit back and watch

And then finally we died when he tried to take on an atrox young and revived at zychion where I decided not to follow because I wanted to sleep. Unforunately I met some interesting people at Zychion and couldnt sleep I started talking with them... someone wanted to play hockey... but we couldnt get a puck... MA I WANT TO PLAY HOCKEY ingame... uhhh its ok thats really not a priority of mine.
But I figured we could do synchronized diving... that could be fun...

Then someone was calling out to say he wanted to buy pixie parts! Whoo my stash that my soc mate asked me to sell was not gone yet! So I sold the part that I had that he wanted. I didnt have a calculator and he offered sweat... so I was stressing out about multiplying and then he increased the offer while I was doing that, so I thought... this looks right and accepted it. After that I asked someone else to help me do the math and I did get a reasonable offer... I think I got tt+0.8 when I asked for tt+0.5 (I saw someone selling parts for tt+1 so I figured that tt + 0.3 might be a tad too low so I decided to ask for tt+0.5 next time) which isnt too bad!

And that was about it

[Tidesong]

I am enjoying my new fort troy<->camp pheonix routine now. Fort troy to sweat until death, tp to camp phoenix for health + bubbles back to troy to sweat until death

Always on the look out for anyone that wants to run some tps anywhere... and of course I still havent been to the new amethera area... all in good time (and less lag and stuff like that)

Also I wanted to sweat until my cap and see where my skills got to. Unforunately... it seems that I cannot reach a cap now. I think that perhaps I will record my skills when I reach 200 level in sweat gathering for future reference instead.

[Tidesong]

People were having a crazy time at camp pheonix last night... and someone wanted to buy another pixie part from me, so I sold a face guard M

There was someone that was killing the mobs, so everyone else was going crazy
and they were also doing silly things like type <insert something here> 10 times fast

it was like... irc... lol

Anyhow, I hit 1000 sweat and sold it to a nice friend at 1.3

And I am very very close to 100 peds... i think 98 peds now?

I just need enough for an opalo and 100 ammo and then I'll go try hunting in my clothing... maybe I should save up for a fap too.. I'm not too excited about armour... ho hum.

Oh and after the discussion in the thread I attempt some relog style building climbing and it didnt work I dont know how other people do it....

I'm getting used to the brighter fort troy...

[Tidesong]

queen from the forum was nice enough to put 10 peds for a treasure hunt and i recognized it to be spiral mountain so I went off to look for it. I actually reached the pond first suspecting a certain spot on the map but from there I had problems trying to see spiral mountain in the same pose as the screenshot, so I made my way to the other side of spiral mountain when I saw a new player in orange jump suit and said hi and asked them to follow me for a while because I had things to do there before I can bring them out.
So try as I might I couldnt find the right look of the spiral mountain... after that I saw a green dot pass by in the direction of the pond and thought, well if it wasnt gone before, the peds are gone now and decided to bring the new player to zychion citadel.
However that person said they had to log out after a really short while, so I thought, well why not and went back to the pond again to see if I could get it right.
And I did this time! I got the same view as the screenshot and then started diving under water to search and voila... i love treasure hunts
i then left a pec there for fun... I wonder if anyone went to pick that pec up. Hope they enjoy it

Sweating still very much same old same old. I showed two people how to climb up on fort troy bar roof.

I was also going to try and see if I could do anything for fof but I was on too early and followed someone for a while but got killed and then i made my way to the spider area but no one was there and then i had to sleep

The next time i logged on, someone was running straight east back to fort troy and i thought hmm ok and i followed them. Somehow... well
I made it back to fort troy in one piece! just heading east, overland! Wow... I heard that was hard but well ok now I did it so I'm happy

And another one was today headed out to Jor bridge, didnt find peds (another treasure hunt) but I saw some crazy mobs and more tezlas
then spike said that he got electric protection armor so we went to find allos at limnadian and he shot them while I sweated them, I got a decent amount of sweat and thats it for now.

[Tidesong]

Trailing hunters at limnadian to sweat is a newly amusing thing for me everytime i see a greendot next to a reddot i run there and see how long it takes the person to kill the allo/esto after surveying the kill speeds I tag along with the slowest hunter.

After one of the reivval I found a new player that was stuck trying to get to jason center from limnadian. I thought hey I dont remember ever trying to do that (after a while my memory came back and I think i did zych-scylla-jason) but before that happened me the new player and another nice player decided to try for jason from limnadian so off we went but we hit some dripis... and those things have 3rd circle aggro? Just like troxes? I never knew before but now I know... wow ok anyhow we got stung to death and the other player logged out and the new player had to log out too eventually (but not before I remembered the route I took before and told the new player about it... hope my memory is correct!)

[Tidesong]

I made 130 ped from mostly sweating(and some free gifts) and decided to buy
1) opallo solomate
2) fap-5
3) 100 ped worth ammo

I did this and started arranging my quick bar and keyboard (with the help of friend through chat) and I tested equipping unequipping all that stuff when i was nearly done I realized I accidentally used 2 ammo =(

Oh well
and then I wasted 2 more ammo because I shot a daikiba that got turreted immediately....

But once that was all behind, I went out to kill one daikiba young... (without an armor and I didnt need to fap and finished with practically full health... nice evade =D ) . It was nice uneventful and had no loot as expected.

Hunting is on hold until I save up for an amplifier. Till then, I will still be sweating.

I saved my skills in a screenshot before start hunting and fapping and will upload when I get around to getting my pictures uploaded... so many to share from month back!

Soc leader contacted me before the daikiba kill and after that we had a talk.

I placed three pieces of dung in random places in fort troy and was amused to find that 2 out of 3 are still there... I like checking them out everyday

Anyhow if you find it feel free to add your dung too lol.

After my usual sweating routine of camp pheonix and fort troy...

I decided to go look for the outpost south of pandora and I did so. I came across the famous water towers and then eventually found the hills where the outpost was... I had to go around a bit but eventually found it.

The journey was rather easy, i could keep out of the mob aggro ranges pretty easily. The usual bery and sabas along the way and then nearer the outpost ...some atraxes there but not many... perhaps it was just chance? (also zan said theres longus there? But I didnt spot any) I didnt leave that outpost because I had to sleep but I will return and see if the mob density changes. I wonder if I should go further south to the next outpost and see if I can dodge feffoids.

[Tidesong]

I logged in at the place south of pandora again and to my delight some sabas and berys and finally longus were near the outpost so I started sweating happily. The sweat was good and I saw another new person that was there he was out for some scenic views on the way to the rig. I suggested nymphtown and he said he didnt have that tp yet and i said I did that one from the north near the coast and he was planning to do that.
So that was cool then while we were talking another green dot appeared and it was a hunter and he seemed fine that i wanted to sweat his mobs so I tagged along until I died (killed by trax, and before that, longus were giving good sweat succesfull bottle for each kill he made!) and then was going to tag along sweat to pandora but he crashed out and I decided to make good time since as usual it was late as night and I wanted to get some where before sleeping
I also reached 200 in sweat gathering at last I deposited more dung i found into the storage and then tped to troy to check out to find that only one out of the original three dung is still there! hehe i wonder when the last one will be gone.
Anyway it was there sweating that i hit 200 and then I happily logged off to sleep.

[Tidesong]

I accumulated another 1000 bottles of sweat and happily told my friend that I was getting close to being able to repair that a103 and he told me hey nevermind he will help with the rest.

He also helped with the armor repair, I forgot about that until later too.... it all added up to about 10 ped... which I got about 40 ped back after the hunt but he didnt want me to return him. Anyways...

So we were hunting corns and prancers then i died coz a neconu killed me! and then i went to hunt corns alone until the amp died and i was almost killing a corn so I inventory, unamped the opalo and finished it off and it had no loot... DOH (i dont rememeber any skills too after that) oh well.

Yeah... so i used up a 30ped amp, about 50ped ammo 1.something ped? of armor and I hardly fapped... so no idea how much I used on that.
I forgot to check the opalo decay...

But anyhow lets say thats a 90 ped hunt and I got back 40 ped and tt value of items 20 ped so 60 ped (in the start we used damage determines so it was fairer)

So I didnt break even and I kinda expected it... my hit ability not 10 yet.. and my professional standings changed quite a bit in the spree

Sooo back to sweating for a while (and running around randomly)
