    Hey Arkadians,

    As a new Arkadian Adviser initiative, I wanted to start a thread for players to create and share short tips for newcomers. I want to compile a large amount of short tips and advice (1 sentence) for the new and old players of Entropia to read and maybe learn from. These tips can be Arkadia related or associated with the general workings of Entropia Universe.

    For example:

    Arkadia Related
    When hunting Oratan, make sure to use armour with both penetration and burn protection.

    or

    Entropia Related
    If you want to view more than one item's information, click the pin in the top right corner before opening another.


    Post some of your own Akadia & Entropia tips!

    remember that there are shops selling various items and resources in Quarry/Celeste Harbour and Sanctuary Cove.

    Your loot is worth more to other players, find the players that use the loot you are finding.

    Another one about space: if you're flying in space with ammo, you can put your ammo in a container to prevent accidental shooting (clicking with mouse while steering shoots).

    We're off to a great start :)

    Similar to Arden's above:

    Find yourself a knowledgeable mentor and society which are willing to answer any questions and provide all the information you need to get a good start.

    Actually they removed this "feature" recently, though I think if you are running it might still drop bombs repeatedly (not logged in to check that).

    Use quick keys of your "most used" equipment, by using the edit panel top left.

    It won't drop another probe if you find a resource. However it will drop again after an NRF. I did a bit of testing with a rookie finder. It behaves the same running or standing still.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Downloaded the game today, and I have been enjoying it. Just wondering, what does a "limited" marked item do?

    Basically a Limited item you need to replace when it breaks, but it usually come with the added bonus of being more effective then unlimited items.

    Welcome to Arkadia too :)
