Very well written and informative post which everyone should read, not only newbies. I for one have made the mistake of going for mobs too big for my level countless times even after a year of playing EU. The only problems I can find with the post are minor spelling errors and a somewhat flawed grammar in some places. Nevertheless, one of easiest guides to read for what really matters in EU... FUN!

+rep of course.

OK, thread retitled and stickied.

Nicely sayed mate, Id also like to add that if you are playing on adequate level to your skills playing cost are very low, maybe free if u smart/lucky/good player. In my opinion, the profits should be used to develop your avatars gear. But it depends on what u like most. If u like your avi looking great, buy yourself new clothes/haircuts etc... I preffer more practical use like upgrading. Do what u enjoy the best, try to not count the PEDs (to some limits .) ). Also one rule I found is: Dont hurry, its not some race here. If u want something fast u gotta pay for it. Second rule: Try to be nice, esp. to newcomers, one little help to them (like giving avay 1ped tt FAP5, low tt pixie parts) wont hurt you and will greatly encourage em to stay. I know it from my own experience, thanks

for taking us noobs on hunt while we were sweating and sharing the loot with us that was awesome begining .) Thanks

for focusing me in OJ when nobody replyed to me. Thanks

for giving me the opportunity to make first PEDs. Thanks to

for learning me the basics of hunting because I had bad mentor. I can go on and on, community here is something of the best essences of game.

While you are still at a low level if you gather sweat from mobs before you kill them then it will help you cover your costs of ammo.

Anytime I pick up a new disciple this is my recommendation to them:

Gather 2k sweat, buy an opallo and ammo, go sweat and then kill low level mobs.

Snable-Male Young 20 hitpoints = 1 sweat pull
" " Mature 30 hitpoint = 2 sweat pulls
Daikaba Young 30 hitpoints = 2 sweat pulls
Sabakuma Young 20 hitpoints = 1 sweat pull

Any of the above mobs are perfect mobs for "swunting" (sweat + hunting)

With an average of 12 sweat/pull @ 0.50 that's 6-12 pec sweat/mob depending on if it drops 1 or 2 pulls.

Opallo unmaxed you can hope for an average of around 5.5 damage/shot, that's 4 shots (8 pec) to kill a 20 point mob or 6 shots (12 pec) to kill a 30 point mob, now if you figure you miss once per mob then your costs are 10 pec to kill 20 point mob and 14 to kill 30 point mob.

For a 20 point mob you will recover around 60% of your ammo from sweating

For a 30 point mob you will recover around 85% of your ammo from sweating!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously the 30 point mobs are the best to target!

If my disciple ends up coming up slightly short in the end of the hunt, I explain to him how he's gaining skills too which in time will improve his ability to make profits.

Even if someone whishes to deposit, it's still a great way to start hunting, they can just skip the first step of gathering 2k sweat.

I also recommend not wearing any armor and instead spending decay on a heal tool, this may cost more upfront but the skills will prove to be valuable in the longrun.
