what does improvment in sweating bring?

[Terredar]

As there is a sweating skill i'd like to ask what's the benefit of having a higher skill lvl. I't doesn't look like it's going to improve the succes rate or does it?

Oh, and also I'm kinda new (started yesterday) so hello !

Hey there!
Higher sweat gathering skill will do nothing for you
Other skills you gain while sweating will help you though, and people still like to brag about how high their sg skill is.

Ok, thank you, too bad to hear Atm it does look like most skills seem kind of useless when your unter 200 or something

Different mobs give different amounts of sweat, some mobs are harder to get a successful pull from than others... Experiment with different mobs and see what happens.

Also, some days you'll get more than others, I've experienced this first hand

Skills do play a part as well, A small part... So they're not entirely useless. My flatmates avatar with 121 sweat gather gets less successful pulls than my avatar with about 390 in sweat gather, though there was only a small difference... We did a little test once...

I must agree with Nightwolf, I too see more sweat on my pulls then someone new. And this was after 3 hours of sweating with a new girl in my soc. She would ask me if I was getting anything? I was getting 5 more then she was getting. So there you go. And skills do play a part even at 200 just keep your head up and try and have fun.

Hello, and welcome to both Entropia Universe and the Entropia Forum community

At the time there is little information gathered as we don't have level 60+ sweaters yet (or I don't think so )
Back when there was a level cap, I think it was used only as a limit skill (eg. when you hit 220 or something sweat gatherer, you were attuned to the universe and couldn't sweat anymore).

Now, since they've took that level cap out, maybe they have changed the effect of the skill on your success, or they also probably left it like that.

From what people with highest sweat gatherer levels says althought, there seems to be no dramatical increase

But whatsoever, it still counts in your total skill right?

So If you sweat a lot, maybe you can reach 2K+ total skill on your avatar, and some societies fancy that.

Well thanks for the answers, looks like I'm never going to stopp sweat hunting

MA can bring improvements in sweating!

But they won't!!!

i doubt it has an effect

(2400 pts in SG btw)

tests being done with around 10k -successful pulls-, often with an average sweat per hour, and not just by be, although by my soc mate Coop (something around 3400? SG now; she always calls me a noob when i tell my SG pts :S)

we used to be pretty much the same in sweat per hour, one time I was better, another time she was

we used the same sweating tactic/mob etc

maybe as sidenote

evade helps with sweating #D


besides, just for the sake of it

the average pull is 12 (i got 12456 or so sweat after 10k successful pulls) confirmed by Coop (she tracked more often #D)

and the chance to get sweat is pretty much 20% per pull


edit

for a useful "test" you gotta collect a useful statistical data
like the above 10k successful pulls

or make it ~50k attempts (20% chance) and test if you got sweat or not
write the data down, and see what you got after

at 1k pts in SG you do the same

and at 2k as well

happy

Only the fact of writing on a sheet or on excel 10,000 entries of sweating attempts makes me shiver!
