Hi guys... I did decide to come back and play again, but I must put me some limits, If I don't do that I'll get up broken in RL again and I don't want to do it :soangry: So: I'm wondering what lvl of hunting would you do with 500 PED/mounth. Is it like: P3A, A103 and "witch mob" for example I'm interested actually, how big I can afford to go with this money without loose them in two days What's your opininon? And thanks in advance ^^
I play for 35 euro's a month which is around 450-500 ped ( Depending on exchange course). I have been doing so for the last 6 years. I have all kinds of weapons and gear. Currently I own an unlimited bikak cek tier 2 and I have a maddox 4/beast, m2910/a105, full range of katsuichi longblades, unlimited masher 01, Bear armour/5b/6a, Hunter/3b for small bots, pixie/2a for small mobs, I have 105 mining gear. To survive on 35 euro's a month, wise choice of what you hunt and where you mine is essential. Follow perception gains will stretch your pedcard. I found that I couldn't survive on Arkadia with this amount, because I have not enough knowledge of where to hunt/what to hunt/where and what to mine. On calypso I hunt bristlehogs for their korss drop and nice timber markup, drones for gazz, argo at hotspots which always seem to give nice drops. I haven't found such a spot yet on Arkadia, although the Kobol drop nice blades, which I got a couple of times, but I couldn't stretch my ped card enough. I returned to calypso before the tp's get turned off.
Thank A LOT for the tips That's exactly the ammount I'm planning to pay / mounth so your info is very usfull I had the same problem, as I start to play "wise" I'll travel back to calypso I guess, where I know the groun I'm stapping into. But It's unfortunatly, cose I really like Arkaida.
Yes I do too, and I will return once the spacetravel is up and running (and payable). But for now, Arkadia is too unknown for me, and I cannot be stuck there for months if spacetravel isn't payable. At 35 euro's a month paying the 40 ped fee is a large chunk. If spacetravel is more expensive, either because my vtol gets shot to bits or tickets are expensive and you cannot be sure you actually arrive if pirates attack the ship you are on, then I cannot afford to come to Arkadia again.
I wish someone would actually answer your question. On Arkadia I have no clue how to do it at low level. I am almost convinced you can do it, but it takes a while to figure out how. Following the market is key. I would use the cash and focus on TT gear at first until I find a place where I can hunt and not lose money. So visit low level mobs until you find one it works better. Buy cheapest guns you can find when you move up in level. Having that amp, you can see what laser guns you can use to take advantage of it. Or just sell it for more cash and focus on TT gear until you have more ped. When I say TT gear, you will probably say you have more skills, you can do more. I say you are limited by your ped card and if you try to play at a higher level, you will run out of cash fast. HOWEVER!!!!! MA said you must have items fit for the mob and item and mob must be fit for your skill level. So what I just said can just be wrong... but I have no clue what else would be right.
Thanks for the answer Hawk I was grinding TT stuff before I decided I'll deposit again.. but With TT stuff you actually can't figure out what mobs are good for you, as they are all too strong for the TT items. Well, unfortunatly I really think I'll have to go to Calypso again, till I don't get a bigger ammount somehow. Maybe in the mean time ppl will find out how the planet works and would share it with the rest of us
500 ped / month is very well doable. As previous peeps said: Arkadia is new so it is hard to tell. I suggest you start slow on Helix for example (lvl 3 mob) by using an opalo / tt knife.. and just do some basic skilling for now. > Another possibility is Oro, the Oro missions to be exact (lvl 11 mob fr a young). What to avoid: -------------- In my personal experience: all massive HP regen mobs, they CAN drop nice, but you need a big big bankroll to keep on going and jump over the low loot gabs. 500 ped will not be sufficient (by far). Mining (FOR NOW) been mining a lot on Arkadia, but since the % MU is still very unstable, it is hard to sell. If you have enough peds, you can sit it out by saving the ores and enmatters in storage and sell when the MU is stable. So don't go crazy on mining for now. Conclusion: ----------- Do low lvl mobs for fun and basic skilling, till more info is been made by participants. Gl Mate BB
You may wana consider another aspect... A lower level mob is not by default a better mob. Some of the lower level mobs have a lot higher variance in loot than some of the bigger ones. For example, you would get more predictible return from argo/drones than from snable when you can only do smallish runs. If you are on a budget, try to kill mobs that are comfortable for you to kill, and they drop something you can sell.
Welcome Unearth! The planet is still young and changing, so hard to say which mob to hunt on such a budget. I am myself a low budget player, so in a few weeks I could tell better, now is just too early. With P3a& A103 you could probably easily do some Zadul and Tiaraks, but haven't hunted them after the last patch, so be careful. I read somewhere Tiaraks are more agressive and challenging now Bokol maybe? Really hard to say surely what and how. GL .Lez.
If you want to hunt at a low cost you allways have to hunt for markup and sacrifice as little PED for it in your expenses as possible. So the first step would be the tt equiptment as BH said since it comes at no MU whatsoever (duh obviously). I have done some experiments with the Arkadian ones and I feel that the BLP rifle is the best to hunt with. Also because it is the long demanded "BLP Opalo". So to say it is the UL CB5 of Calypso so u allready hunt with a quite pricy gun. whop whop Using the tt gear try to save as much PED from your deposits as you can for a few months. Then buy some mid level UL SIB gun and start rocking Arkadia. Since at that time the MUs of hunting loots will probably be better than right now you should be able to play with almost no deposits if you allways hunt the Markup. If there is no Markup to hunt then change planet.
Check this out. http://www.arkadiaforum.com/showthread.php?1238-Article-Alienware™-Crafting-Event! I am not recommending crafting. What I am recommending is understanding how the markets will react before and during the affects of events like this. Study the prints that people will be clicking for this event and learn which resources you can collect either through hunting or mining. It is things like this that give opportunities to those who study and work at it. +rep to Black Hawk, It is good to see some good advice for the new or returning people like this. narfi
