    Hello,

    Used to play this game back when it was called project entropia almost from the beginning when a mod fap was tt+5000 ped and you could loot cool armor parts before the time on (L) stuff.
    Hunted, crafted and mined.

    Mindark deleted my account years ago so i decided to start a new one, the game looks great and the vehicles are awesome.

    Iv decided to take up mining since that was my second most profitable thing i did back then and the thing i enjoyed the most but im a little lost.

    I used to have a Jaguar, i think it was a 2500 fap (it was fast) and a dante with a amp for protection. What do you guys suggest i buy for protection now? I dont hunt so eco isnt a factor and im not going to mine places where they have big mobs (think Hogglos if they still exist).
    Also skills...i have 0 now so i will chip in enough to use decent mining gear but i dont understand the system anymore. How much do i need to chip in and what skills to use say a 105 finder (if they still exist) and find rare things like gold.

    Thank you in advance for the help.

    /Andreas (Used to have Adde and after that Pelea of Hunters Unlimited, crafter of the 103 mining amp when it was new only me and Buzz if hes still around.)

    Hi,

    Personally I would start slow and work my way up, there's a lot for you to learn. But if you want to dive right in Entropedia.info and http://jdegre.net/pe/unlocker.php will be invaluable resources. To max a 105 Finder you need lvl 11 in Prospector. Go to jdegre's tool, select Prospector from the Select Profession... list. Input Target level 1100 (this equals to lvl 11) and in the skill boxes below input your current relevant skills (you can do this automatically, but it's easier to just put 1 everywhere for now). When you click Go! it will show you how much of each skill you need to chip in to do it in the cheapest way possible.
    For protection, I'd say get some (L) gear, but you need skills to use it, so maybe buy something oldschool for now if you don't care about eco? Also, don't mine for Gold, it's almost worthless nowadays. Check auction or Market Value of resources (right click -> Market Value) to get an idea.

    Cheers and good luck!

    Hi Andreas, welcome back :) On Arkadia, there is not a big economical benefit from using deeper equipment. Your example of gold... it's usually found deeper but has only 107-109% MU most of the time, so it's not one of the minerals you really go looking for. You will find a greater variety of ores and more "rare" ores deeper, requiring a larger ped card to be able to cycle your peds. I would suggest skilling up naturally. There may even be some benefits loot-wise to doing this. I also recommend that you use limited finders as you skill up; they often perform better than the UL finders.

    For protection, you could check out a set of Ursa armor. With 5B plates, it will protect you well from all but the biggest mobs on Ark. We do have a lot of open areas on Ark, so you may find that the adjusted pixie armor you get from mentorship (plus 5B) will be all you need. Even though you are "old" I would definitely recommend you get a mentor. Some of the old ways don't work anymore. If for nothing else than the Adj pixie armor, it's worth it.

    Welcome back!

    Was the old account deleted from inactivity? If so, then now I know why I couldn't find my previous account info. I didn't really get to play on my old account (old computer couldn't handle Project Entropia) but I still felt awkward signing up for a new account when I thought I had an existing account that I just couldn't locate the info for. :eek:

    Just a small note on the armor, there is no need for any on arkadia. Unlike calypso, mobs on arkadia are more centered, which means there are vast areas without mobs where you can mine without having to worry about armor.
