Guess what....

The game is open to all, to play how they see fit, other than purposely harrassing other players

We dont like RT killers on Amethera, but it happens. We deal with it

I hunt between Phoe and Zych several times a week - long hunts that last hours. I don't take mobs to sweaters - they can get their own. It improves their skills

I'll probably get through a couple hundred corns in that time. As ulti said, mobs respawn. It's a hunting ground like anywhere else, and trapping mobs has now become an exploit as MA has removed it

We (ulti and myself) do however quite regularly bring Atrox/Armax to Phoenix to help out the real noobs. It started as being bored with nothing to do (pre-deposit day blues...), but the sweaters loved it. You can get several hundred sweat from an Armax Bull Old, and the RT is seconds away, so if they die, the noobs just come right back

But if we're talking about manners, I find noobs who come and sweat your mob while you're killing it, or skilling off it, without asking, rude to the extreme. Often these players will then try to kill it when it's dry - even when they can plainly see that you're skilling. I'm not talking about a crowd of 6-8 mobs here. I'm talking one or two. Are they really that bad that they can't kill a snabbly on their own, when the radar shows dozens of them???

This happens way too often, even though after their first shot/axe blow I'll ask them to stop. Sometimes they answer in a foreign language, but often not at all. Being foreign is no excuse - everybody understands "No!" - and PE is touted as primarily English speaking

Of course, when that happens I then take great delight in following that player for the next hour and killing all their mobs they are trying to hunt. Usually they then magically can speak and understand English when they're asking me to stop, and while I'm explaining what they did wrong

even while i was sweating long periods, i didnt really get frustrated when someone would kill a mob... after all, they DO just respawn...
i get FAR more frustrated when some idiot tries to do what firew0lf said... ah well... if patience is a virtue, i guess ive got my own ring in hell lol

Ok I was planning on doing a sweating guide on EP but after seeing this one ill post a link for here instead great guide.

I have a couple of extra tips I use when sweating ( allthough today I lost the ability to on my first armax of the day )

When you sweat smaller mobs if you can take their health to below half, less ppl try to kill it because they wont get any loot failing this you can always run it to the turret yourself to prevent spoilers from getting the kill meaning they waisting ped

One last thing if you attack any mob then let it kill you it goes docile for a while (also being reffered to ingame as taming) and will not attack anyone every now and then it may need moving away from the turrets so just hit it once and run . This method works great for bigger mobs armax, atrox and as long as it keeps getting tamied it wont attack all the time. Hope this helps

With all the help here, it would be nice if someone actaully said how to get to those areas suggested for sweat gathering, from the arrival point at the space port, without getting killed along the way. Remember that those who want to get there have no money, as if they did thy probably would not need to get the sweat to start with.

IMHO, and from the perspective of A Newby.

Other than that, excelent guide

Hi, all of you - experienced players. I'm trying to collect some sweat but not sure if I succeded. Where do I see the sweat that I've collected?
That really confuses me. Thank you very much if someone can give me the answer.

Jove's done a guide on how to get all the tp's on eudoria and amethera.

You can get them all without needing anything - no gun, no fap, no nothing.

Howdy,

First of all, thanks for the guide, it's given me some sort of idea on where to start. Seem to have come in with the barage of new people thanks to the news. I'm probably going to put in some money at the end of this week, just trying to get a handle on how to do things before I buy fancy equipment just to break it out of stupidity.

Now to my question. As a complete and unbelievable noob, I haven't figured out how to loot the sweat (Or perhaps I'm failing?). I've run from Port Atlantis out to find a creature and gathered the sweat to the point where a few bottles of sweat pop up in a window on my screen. Yet I can't seem to loot the sweat. I try dragging it into the inventory and it just gets stuck within the popup box. How do I get it? I haven't been able to figure it out as I'm usually mauled by the creature before too long.

Again, sorry for my ignorance but any help provided would be greatly appreciated

It will automatically be in your inventory... If you press "I" for inventory, you will notice that left of the picture of your avatar, there's a few buttons. They represent logical groups of items. The upper one is for weapons, below that armour, below that clothes, Tools, Medical, and then Tradeables. (I'm doing this from the top of my head, so don't shoot me if I mix something up). The tradeables section will have the sweat
