the "good old days" of sweating?

[Kathlyn]

hi there!
i keep hearing old timers saying it was a lot easier to sweat a few years ago
basically you would just "stick" animals to structures, and you only had to sweat them endlessly with no risk of death?

yet when you look at mindessence price back then, it was much higher than today, and nexus was at the same price

am i missing something?

goodluck to all

yep, you used to be able to herd mobs to a place where they were essentially trapped - you could stand up on the spaceship near billy's, for instance, and sweat mobs down below without being hit

no more

BUT... you did not get that much sweat per hour as today AND if you had more than 1.2k or 2k (can´t remember) skills in sweating.. no more sweat for you..

sweat per pull used to be 1-5

not 2-22

your sweat per hour was way lower #D

price was 1.3 when i started, but on a good hour you got like 100 sweat

so 1.3 ped

when i sweat nowadays i get on a quite bad hour ~500, at 0.5 thats 2.5 ped :P

so, i wouldnt complain that much in that direction


also, after around 110 pts in sweat gathering you couldnt sweat anymore (was increased to ~220 after that, depending on other skills as well, i was stopped again at 170)
and finally removed

so you get more sweat per hour now, more ped even and can do it as long as you want

i think it is quite ok nowadays

not quite correct!
there is a spot at swamp camp where you can stand on the skeleton without trapping the mob and without getting hit. Used it quite a lot during my days there...still in my unrepaired OJs...
*sigh* those old days...so many years gone (ok...only about 4 months but feels like ages)

300 is a disastrous hour for me

sometimes i miss the old sweat farm at PA.. good times

[Jowy2000]

I miss sweating at camp phoenix
It was so easy there, and there would be like 20 people there and always some pro person would bring mobs in to sweat...
and I could get about 1.2 then :X
