You Sweat for Skill Not for PED!!!

[Garrett Scuba F]

I don't think iam saying anything new here but....
When you sweat a mob you gain sweat gathering skills, which OMHO are completely useless.

But you also gain Concentration and Psychi which help if you decide to be persue a career in MindForce.

More importantly, you gain skills in evade, agility, athletics,courage, bravado etc etc.....

These skills are what make you a more efficient hunter. How? You get hit less often which means less armor and fap decay. And the less you have to stop a shooting a mob to fap the less the mob whill heal which means it wil take less ammo and less weapon decay.

BTW less decay means less ped loss.

But I am a miner how the hell will that help me? eventually you will have to kill amob or two to get to your claim and it would be nice if you could do it with minimal ped loss right?



Now with all that said, You can make enough ped sweating to pay for an economical weapon and pay for its repairs and ammo to hunt "noob" mobs. (This will build up skills to that you can use to hunt bigger mobs more efficiently, there is a pattern here if you look).
In order to do so, you must do it effiently you can run around and just kill (or try) everything you see. you must first sweat it dry, let it kill you a dozen times but sweat it dry then kill it. you will find that if you do it this way you will make more thabn enough ped from sweat to buy ammo and repair your weapon. If your lucky you may get a nice 10 ped mob

But skills alone will not make you more efficient you must also choose the right weapons for your skills. Search these forums for more info on that

just my tidbit to help you get started

Good Luck

Chatting to a noob the other day, I used almost the exact same phrase - "you sweat to get skills, not to make money".

After finding out a soc mate of mine got over 1500 evade mostly from sweating (more evade than i have from 2 years of periodic hunting).
I have decided to start sweating again for the purpous of unlocking avoidance and getting a ton of sweat for when i do formal MF skilling.

though sweating like this does cost extra, in the form of focus charges, armor and fap.
pixie, fap-5 and 50, opalo with a101 and potent focus chip make for a decent professional sweating kit.
costs are about 5 ped per 1k sweat, mostly in amp and armor decay, loot from dry mobs usually helps with this cost

sweating with armor is bad it needlessly costs you decay ped if you sweat close to a revival terminal getting killed is no big deal save the armor for hunting.

True, death is cheaper.. but its alot slower too. i find it a nice compromise to be able to live long enough to sweat a mob dry without having to spend hours running back to it form the Rt after every hit.

However i i use the cheapest armor that gives decent protection wich for the mobs i sweat is pixie.

With only pixie you can even do without the fap most of the time and pixie decay is cheaper.

Absolutely right, and you can add intelligence to this list, which is good for crafting and mining as well as for MF.

Always nice to see sweating shown in a positive light - it's fun and gains you skills into the bargain.

+rep and happy sweating

+rep coming. this is a very true point and one that is often overlooked. skills are not worth anythign to someone looking for a quick turn around, but for those that have a long term plan, sweating for skills is an awesome way to grow ingame. i have never looked down at sweating.
