    Heya,

    I'm rageleaving Caly for a while and heading to Monria. However, I figured I would take a detour to Arkadia and try to pull off the 10k Carabok mission.

    My question is: Do the caraboks still give crazy skills? I recently read something like roughly 10% of cycled PED in increased skill value.

    Regards

    More than other punies - yes
    As much as they used to - no
    % of PED cycled - no idea, never bothered to track

    Alright, thanks for your reply. I am currently looking for the post on PCF where I saw the figures but it has gone *poof*.

    How are the spawns up there? Is it as tedious as down on Caly where you have to look for punys or is it possible to shoof pretty much non stop?

    Carabok spawns suitable for non-stop shooting are all on south-east (Celeste) server, which is quite laggy at most times. Options:
    - spawn NW of Celeste Quarry (may contain too many green dots)
    - event area 2 (mixed carabok/gallard)
    - wave spawn near Timber Mill (mixed carabok/gallard)
    (Gallard has 15 HP and worse skill gains but the same good mission rewards.)

    There are also spawns of five carabok in backyards of most firebase academies (Repulse for some reason has four). Those are suitable for semi-afk swunting while cooking your dinner or doing other house chores.

    Thanks again, I'll check them out once I get there. I'll also track my skill gains for a while to see if the numbers I found (but can't find again) are somewhat correct.

    There's also some spawns outside Defiat Firebase, even if is a taxed area, almost no one bother you there

    Don't forget the daily Puny War events, plenty of Carabok and Gallards to fight there as well as having some fun with other participants and possibly even get some prize.

    There has also been a few other events there, as well as in other event areas so check out the event list in game

    Thanks for the reminder! I've read about it but completely forgot! I'll be joining next time I'm available, HP is at 112 at the moment so I better do it soon...

    Spent a few hours in the event area working on both the gallard and carabok missions and managed to finish the first two stages. Spawns were perfect for this type of grinding. Tomorrow I'll see if I could get my hands on a rocket launcher....

    6000 down, 27200 to go...

    Missions ticking quite fast with the huge spawns. I must admit though, it has begun to be quite tedious.

    Any weapon recommendations? The Rv50 blasted through them quite fast but I'm guessing more of half the cycled PED got wasted.

    So far I've been using:
    Z12 barbella
    Bukins blade
    Falx
    Rv50

    Any decent eco weapon to pace things up? Preferably one that can be found on Arkadia?

    You may use the tt herman ... the decay is eco and it shots like 1.1 pec per shot... does small damage ... in my opinion perfect for cara and gallard

    Use the weapons you looted from those and gallards. They're about max 4 dmg so shouldn't be crazy over kill. I only remember the exact name of one: PBR-0.
