sweating failing

[dstebbins]

I just started the game a few days ago, and I've tried at least a dozen times to gather sweat from animals. I've only succeeded once. Why does it fail so many times? And is there a way to increase my chances of it succeeding?

Also, the guy who bought my 18 units of sweat paid me .09 PED, so it was .005 PED for one ounce. What kind of deal was that? A ripoff, and average deal, a clueless-on-his-part-cuz-sweat-is-dirt-cheap deal? What?

Sweating increases in success based on skills you will gain over time. Sadly for you that is about the common price right now, 0,6 per bottle. so for every 1000 you will get u will recieve 6 ped total. Its tough at the beginning but once your skills gain the game gets better Gl - Mojo

There are no shortcuts really, you just have to keep trying. Failing is normal. Also if you keep trying the same animal it gets "dry" once that happens - no more sweat. Talk to other people who are sweating, most people are friendly, and they'll give you some advice. There are also a few good guides here on the Forum so check them out too.

Good luck.

There is no real evidence that your chances of getting sweat improve as you increase skills. There are some people that believe that skills have an effect and there are those that don't - there is just no conclusive evidence either way.

However, as you gain defensive skills your chance of evading hits from monsters increases. As you avoid more hits you don't have your sweat concentration interrupted as often and you remain alive for longer. The longer you remain alive, the more sweat attempts you are able to carry out before you die.

As a rough guide, you should expect an average of 10 successes for every 100 attempts you carry out.

The current price of sweat is between 0.5 and 0.6 pecs per bottle (100 pecs in 1 PED). Anything above 0.6 is a very good price at the moment, while 0.5 is one of the lower offers you will find. However, as you sold just 18 bottles you lost out on 1 pec (assuming that you could find someone offering a good price).

Port Atlantis swamp camp is a good place to start sweating, as you will often find people who will heal you for free while they attempt to increase their medical skills. Being healed reduces the time that you are just standing around and allows you to go out sweating again more quickly.

You are at Port Atlantis.

Ask people for directions on how to get to the Sweat Camp. From memory I think it is north, maybe north west of where you are.

Good luck

Keep running directly north from the bank, you will know when you get to the swamp camp because there will be noobs and mobs running around like crazy fools everywhere you look

When I used to sweat I succeded on average 1 out of 5 times. In a good hour I would get about 350-500 sweat. Don't think the sweating skill has much affect as I get about the same with 190 skill as a friend gets with over 3k. Sometimes I get more than him, sometimes he gets more.

Sweat-camp as I like to call it, is around 5500,9200. Also, nothing influences the amount or success you have, there are luck/noluck cycles for everybody, and this together with randomness decides if you get a success or not. If you do get some, it will be a random number from 2-22. the SG skill and profession influence nothing and are only an indicator how much of a life you have What does help to get more sweat is dying less, and that is where the skills you get while being attacked come in, such as evade, because the skills you do get, will eventually make mobs miss more, and sometimes even ignore you for a while while sweating them.

no it doesn't.
sweating always has a 40% CoS. the only way skills make sweating easier is the increase in evade, which makes it slightly more easier to not get hit while you're sweating, so you last longer doing it.
