The tradeables section will have the sweat

Ah ok, I got it now. Thanks a lot Via, and, again, sorry for my incompetence Appreciate the time and effort you've put into this, gives me something to do this week while I test out various things!

Well I made it to camp Phoenix (spelt wrong I am sure) and am getting into gathering sweat. It seems a good intro for newbies (like me.)
I can get used to the controls etc, without it costing me.


A few things I have noticed, that may, or may not be correct, or even relevant.

You seem to heal faster if you don't die. So while running away is not good for others, it does seem to mean you don't have to wait so long before you're ready for another go.

As you spend more time doing it, you (obviously) get better at it.
When I first started I was lucky to get 20 a day, now after 3-4 weeks, I seem to be able to get ~200 sweat a day, and rising. Eventually I will not be able to sweat, but by then I will have gained experience in controlling my Avatar, and will be able to buy a few basics for free.

Wonder where the oil rigs are?

I have a bit of a n00b question, I've been reading lots, but can't seem to find the answer, so hopefully this hasn't been answered somewhere else, and I just haven't found it yet.

People have told me that there's some point in the game when you become UNABLE to sweat.. when is this? I've heard that it happens at certain skill levels, or when you start to use weapons, or other things, but nothing concrete. Anyone have a definite answer to this question?


BTW, Great guide Viagara Falls, thank you

[rotten ice]

Its around level 200 sweat gathere now some cap sooner some later it depends on other skills you have (I'm not sure which)
hope this helps

FREE MONEY = SWEAT from enemy in PE

Just another newb here (potential player reading up about it, actually).

Quite informative -- the only question I still have is about the oil barrel gathering... you said it was the only other option to gain PED with nothing more than a time-sink. How viable is this as an alternative to sweating mobs? I would like to sweat it out, as it were, but in the least painful way possible, of course. I think I'm patient/masochistic enough for it...

Thank ye's!
