My First Time on Entropia

[Bobbygolucky]

Didn't get chance to post yesterday because my computer desk was being used as a bar! I did play a bit yesterday morning though, was messing about on my own when one of my society members suggested going hunting. (I can already see that I'm going to be a sucker for a hunt)! Started off hunting easy stuff north of Atlas Haven when my friend suggested trying something harder - Atrax!

Off to Orthos we went and straight into the fray. Took down several Molisks and a couple of Atrax. We then took out a drone. When it was looted something jumped up in the middle of my screen, strange because I've normally got the loot box shoved over to the left of my screen. It was then I discovered that I'd picked up a "lesser teleporter chip" worth 45 PEDs. Apparantly it was pretty close to being a global.

Anyway, excited as I was, I hit T to repawn back at Orthos and instead appeared at some bloody outpost in the middle of nowhere. With time running short I made the sprint back to PA to see how much the thing was worth. Slightly disappointed when I got to the Auction House to discover a large number of the things up for sale with no bids. PEAuction lists it as TT + 0.64 so I'll probably just sell it to the TT and give my friend a fair share of it.

Anyway, I plan another decent night tonight. I've got a list of things to do including getting some more TPs and trying to buy an amp for my Opalo (got outbid on one yesterday at the auction). I'm also considering buying a long blade to start to train melee skills. Plan to take off my armor and start dying lots to get the skills up.

You should keep the TP chip!

A very useful tool
Part of the Survival Kit of any dedicated Entropian.

Or, you could sell it, and buy another low TT one (they don't decay much if you just use it rarely) and get some nexus to combine with sweat to ME to fuel it.

And some peds over for ammo

Edit: oh, and btw, no need to run to auction to check the value of an item. In the item info there is an icon to check the market history.
Its only approximate ofcourse, but gives a good idea.
Also a good idea to bring up the graph over the price history, to see if there is any "odd" buys manipulating the average...

nice loot with the chip! I agree with alh that the chip is very useful, but I would rather sell it and get a ammo boost or maybe that amp since that is more useful atm since you wont get stuck in another doomed outpost i hope?

Keep the posts coming Bobby - it's great to see such excitement and enthusiasm. Sell the tp chip to tt for now - you'll loot another before long - they do tend to drop alot. (most aren't so lucky to get one with such a high tt value so gratz on that).

Reading about your progress ingame got me inspired last night - so I decided to go and sign up two new Disciples. All the previous disciples I had have either graduated or quit - so I have the time to help some new people out. I usually like to take on 2 at a time - that way I can run two people to each tp - feels like time is better spent

I have to say it never gets easier to take on disciples. Most new players you approach are thinking you must be there to rip them off (couldn't possibly be a nice person who enjoys teaching others and sharing knowledge).

Found two great guys who were keen for some help in the end - I hope they maintain their enthusiasm like you are.

Keep the posts coming mate - hope to bump into you in game some time.

Nice work on the TP chip there Bob ... a very handy tool and you will be wanting one at some stage but at the moment you could probably use the ped in more entertaining ways.

Hello and welcome to ef and Eu

Ok, another mental night really. If there were a profession called "Fisherman" then I'd be a grand master in it cos I seem to have spent more time swimming than I would care to think about now!

Bought myself a longblade and went out battering every mob that I came across gaining some nice skills. Was pretty disappointed after about a hour and a half when the sodding thing broke. I've repaired it for when I want to use it again but it's pretty crap as far as economy goes. (Does some hefty damage though).

Then decided to go after some more TPs. Started off by getting the Ithaca TP (by swimming a long way)! Then done another epic swim to Argus.

I'd set an alarm to go off 10 minutes before an auction finished for a A101 amp. Just about made Argus in time to get back to the auctioneer at PA and successfully nabbed the amp. Cost me 60 PED - my most expensive purchase by far yet but I reckon that in the long term it will save me cash on ammo.

At the same time my mentor came online and I begged him to take me hunting to try out the amp. He obliged and we spent about 30 minutes bagging some mobs before he had to go. Have to say that the amp is fantastic.

Teleported back to Argus and asked around in my society if anybody fancied doing the Argus/Zeus run. 3 very helpful members obliged and after a very long trip we made it. It was decided to carry on to North Space Base as well - very useful.

After that pretty much all I did was swim... Swam all the way to Camp Caravan, then got another guide to take me to Minopolis. Was going to call it a day but decided to bag Nymphtown while I was at it. Had a slight disaster here where I thought I was very, very safe to either press T or die (I did die) but respawned at Greywall. My society leader kindly guided from the stucking post to the TP though. Only 2 more TPS to go in Eudoria - Pandora and Echidna.

Dunno if some of you more experienced guys might want to check out the respawn locations around Nymphtown - I swam until I was directly east of the TP and then headed directly west. I think I got killed about half way to the TP but as I've said I got sent to the outpost.

Anyway, I've got a few things that I need you guys advice on to do with trading but I'm pretty damn tired now so I better go and bug you all later.

yep he's addicted ...

welcome Bob

PS I'm on CND at the moment but would be glad to escort you on an Amethera TP run as pay back for these entertaining posts.

[Peron]

NICE! I must admit that you have gathered all the TP's quite fast give us the detail about the items and we will gladly help you

Carefull with those melee weapons, as with the coming of (L) stuff it might have lost a bit of its appeal, eco-wise.
