Watch This Gold Rush - Coming Soon

I didn't mean to accuse anybody who happens to be just in the right spot, or has taken natural development exactly as far as needed. I would opine that much is legitimate. Disclosure: I have 149 now, not deliberately timed but sounds about perfect. Not sure if it still could flip if I keep at the prospectors only. However, to participate seriously, something drastic needs to happen in the budget department. I'll probably try for a round of the evade bonus mission if still available. If this also doesn't work out, screw it, go as high as I can and gamble for a few swirlies just for fun. So nobody needs to be afraid. Yet...

 

Nothing better than Orotan prospector missions to develop discipline. Just... to...hang...in...there, till the death.
Making pain & boredom your friends has got 2 be good.

But whatever are the evade bonus missions? Where can I find them - may be better than picking oil, sucking up sweat type stuff

 

Look up the official threads of previous Gold Rush events. There is an extra mission on Magurg Breeders for Evade bonus which makes it very worth entering even if you can't complete the full hours. I hope they continue with this.

 

During golden week it was 2000 kills for some evade skills, but if you finished the hadraada, bokol or kadra stage 5 missions I believe the stage 6's would pay out a little bit more and require a few less kills.

Anyway, I can't wait! I will soon be returning to Arkadia and hope we will get to see some information soon!

 

That's true but it is nice being able to increase evade every 4 hours or so for the duration of the gold rush, potentially you could claim the skills 15+ times if it's the same as last year

 

It's 60,000 killpoints with 10 given for a young, higher ones proportional to hp, so reality being anywhere between 6000 youngs and maybe 1500-2000 stalkers depending on species. Bokol, Nusul, Navi give Evade in S5, only Hadraada, Kadra in repeatable S6. But with these you can take your sweet time all year round. Not sure if the reward is better, iirc something's on my log about it.

-- What Heidi said. It's really very motivating. I think in cat 1 that time I managed about 13 rounds and this was the actual competition I had with myself, knowing the big win is nigh impossible. Won't be that fast in a higher category, so it is suggested to use the opportunity while you can. And you can't ever have enough Evade anyway.

 

This.

Could it be filled with the start dates for all future rounds? Will they all start on the first Friday of the month?
