  2. Today I took my test before the Port Atlantis Health Authority Board of Examiners and I'm proud to announce that I passed with marks, and now am a certified Paramedic: Level 1.

    I also mastered my Vivo1. It took time. I practised disassembling and reassembling it blindfolded, and putting antiseptic and stitches on my own back, with my off-hand while balancing on one leg and reciting the list of pieces. But finally my Vivo1 says that I mastered it's secrets, and that I can't learn anymore from it... wih a bonus, that is :)

    From two different Fouls I looted a FAP5 and a FAP28. Interestingly enough, none of them provides as high a minimum as my Vivo1, so I feel like I'll stay with my old chap. I reckon I should get a Vivo5, they say it's the bee's knees for those who have mastered the V1, but alas they seem nowehere to be found, exceedingly expensive or totally battered (check whatever applies). This means my tour of the Ametheran TP's is going to take a while. Completing Eudora was tough enough, what little I've seen of Amethera convinced me I shouldn't go back there without better armor, a big FAP and a flare gun.


    Been selling some sweat and the proceeds of my meagre hunting. Loot does not yet break even with cost of ammo, so I fear I'll get my Master Sweater diploma before I'm allowed in the Hunter's Club Dinner. But such's life... I think my filming documentaries is not happening soon...

  3. Ok, reached Camp Echidna, then went NE to take a look to this big crater. Well, merps thought it was a bad idea and it took me 5 times until I reached it... oh well wasn't a quiet visit since the crater borders were full of snarksnot willing to welcome me, so i started running and took a look inside the crater while a herd of snarksnots were following me all the time... they maybe wanted to guide me around the area:p I finally let them kill me to gain some skills and go back to Echinda

    I then went to Chimera Canyons and tried to reach Fort Pandora, wasn't easy since i found my beloved Feffoid (or maffoid.. can¡t never remember:rolleyes:) and some huge, very huge Daikibas. I finally reached the TP and headed south to take a lookk to the desert and kill some sabakumas and Berycled. Suddenly i found a huge city in the middle of the desert suspended in the air and with 4 columns ... I approached and no entrance was visible, but since it was full of atrax and longud, i ran away. Anyone knows what city is this one??? It is purely ornamental? :confused:

    Ok only eastern TP's missing, will run them this week-end and will try to reach The Oil Rig :D

    oh btw i'm trying to help a friend from my country whose mentor didn't connected anymore and didn't know how to do what you need to do in EU. Since I'm a noob i can't be his mentor be i'm teaching him all the tricks i know and letting him sweat while killing some snables. Sometimes we meet at Nea's Place to sweat too. Funny guy.


    See you all.

    PS: Edited to correct some spelling mistakes.

  4. ;) I particapated in the MA TP run earlyer today, and it was alot of fun, there was quite the mixed crowd of players , evorything from noobs-uber's... 'Simon the Guide' was the MA avatar to take us on the tour of EU tp's on calypso... and i managed to take some screen shots of the maddness... i highlighted my self in some of the pic's so you could see the number of people involved... we lost about half near the end, but all in all it was fun... the picture of simon show's off the uber wepon he had for working for MA.... waht a great job... if any one know's how i can ge this job let me know =-) i could totaly handle playing EU full time and helping out noobs with the game... sounds great to me =-) in any case i then spent most the day geting out-bid on the auction, and advertiseing for the last few entrie's to the NOTM contest... then i attempted to craft a bit and was met with a loss of resorce and few sucsesses but, all in all it was a great day... i hope to finish off the night with a hunt with a soc member or two, as well as the all encompassing sweating that we all do =-)

    Happy HOF's to you all, see you in game :D

  5. Hi all,

    Hope everyone is having fun. I am now using storage. Small feat, though something new to me. I have also checked out the blueprint and auction. I had been in the auction once before, though didn't understand it. This time I figured out how to find the many different items that were for sale. The clothes interest me, though I am still too poor to get any.

    I tried to go look for another tp on my own, though I ended up where there were sooo many animals. I couldn't walk through it. I ended up getting chased and killed. When I become a stronger hunter, I am going back there for sure.:yeah:


    That is all for now. I want more tps, so hope me luck.

  6. 02.03.2008 Dairy entry,
    Missed entries Friday Support teleported me from Twin peak and I spent happy Saturday doing little sweating and mining, mining went bad L in Treasure Island return was less than 10 % ........ Decided to hunt, what turned at the end for a little profitJ, not speaking of skill gained.

    Beautiful Sunday I decided to make some hunt – Took my trusty Opalo and ammo – went for hunt the same little aggressive creatures Tantalions – and bah, almost all „Does dot carry any lot”, they ate me 4 times as I am hunting without armor. So hunt went on and I saw no return on ammo spent, I asked society – Could they suggest some other prey, for me? And they pointed out Merps, east from Hedesheim , I went here but found just few of them, and still my already very well known msg. – “No lot”, most I have encountered was Exozaurs and Snables. Exozaur Old even started to chase me, I decided ok “You want fight, then fight”

    Slowly I charged Opalo aimed in run and bah – 1st missed, I return it bitted me for 13 dmg, O_O, next few shots in point blank reached the target. I noticed that it has heeeeell lot of health as health bar become shorter a little. It bitted me again , and again , soon I was left about 15 health. I run , made some distance and shoot back , run again and shoot back – but it was regenerating health faster than I , aaaa, then I stood and shoot lets see who is thougher of us – and whollaaa it fell , and, and, ……….. and again no loot L

    Note – Hunt Young as none of higher maturities has anytime gave any loot
    Note 2 Tantalions and Merps are great to skill-up

  7. Hi mates. All Eudoria TP's completed, wasn't so hard starting from Argus and heading NE to get the 2 Tp's located there and then S until reaching Nymphtown. Some araneatrox killed me near Minopolis but could manage to avoid them. No interesting places found, only 2 big lakes (one of them with a small island in the middle). I know there is an orb near Minopolis but I didn't lost time looking for it since i already found another one.

    And now the best part... i was at THE OIL RIG :D Yehaaa. When reaching Nymphtown i tried to got o the Oil Rig but the way was full of atrox and couldn't manage to reach it. Then i decided to ask my mentor and he told me that the best way was from SW. So i started running from Twin Peaks, headed S until i reached the Beach, and then E until the outpost SW from Oil Rig. On the way i found some tantillion, sabakumas, i think Longus too and some araneatrox, so i decided to swim in order not to be killed. When in the outpost i headed NE to the PVP zone. A new entry appeared on my map showing the entire PVP2. I had to try 3 times since some mobs killed me while trying to reach the oil rig, but i finally found a way zigzaging between them and i finally reached it.... an Uber came to "welcome me" :p but i shouted immediatly "Don't shoot please, I'm a noob, no weapons" :rolleyes: and it worked :D, he let me approach and i finally met the OIL RIG. Oh well i thought it would be bigger but it's very very small and i'd say...ugly. It wasn't spitting out barrels at this time but some other ubers started appearing. I was taking a look on the "machine" when an Uber told me not to approach (he was warning me :D), then i stayed away.

    You know the situation in the oil rig is similar to those Far West Films where some guys are keeping an eye on each other on the Saloon until the fight begins. And it's the same there!!! Everything is calm, the ubers chat and joke, but keeping an eye on each other, meanwhile the barrel spitting out time approaches... and suddenly... someone fires ...BOOM... and the fight starts :Sniper:It's quite funny, but since you are there too, they don't wait too much until they kill you, in fact i was nerve blasted by someone called Simon. Well, back at the oupost, i didn't came back and started running W to reach Twin Peaks again. It was an interesting experience. ;)

    Meanwhile i've been teaching my friend, who i am helping, about how to make ME to sell instead of selling sweat wich has become very hard. Whenever he has enough sweat and peds i'll explain him how to get Nexus, refine it together with sweat to obtain ME and sell it at auction or in the streets.

    Oh i forgot to tell that i was in strange place W of Hadesheim that looks like a circle in the map. When i reached it, it looked like a small crater full of fog and nothing interesting inside :rolleyes: I even dropped a probes but didn't find anything.

    Ok, more sotries this week, next target: start aquiring all Amethera TP's (already have some of them).

    Regards. ;)

  8. I am trying to be adventurous. I had the urge to explore again, I think I am starting to like it.
    I decided to start at Tethys Creek and head west. I Found Hadesheim outpost. Then still heading west I was killed. I woke up at Hadesheim (town), which is huge!!!
    There was noone there, so I couldn't ask where the tp was. I wondered around at least 10 mins (felt like forever) before finding the tp. For everones info the tp is in the center of the three main town parts. That little adventure took me a while. So I decided to just go back to hunting and sweating.
    When I got back to Atlas Haven the hunting and sweating was going slow. And I got another bug to explore. So I headed north. I was killed along the way and woke up at an outpost. I had tried going three directions and kept getting killed. My mentor warned me that this could happen. Luckily right then my mentor logged on and came to save me. He led me to Echidna.

    Now it is back to sweating because I have hardly any ammo. I be poor. lol

    Hope me luck on my next adventure.

    Oh yes === I am not good computer wise and somehow I got my shirt on my screen. About 7 little pictures of it that I can't get off. I hope my mentor will be able to help me with this problem. He is going to laugh at me, I just know it. :)

  9. i am in a rut i think. getting tired of hunting the same old things. i will say that i've been getting some more interesting loots. nothing super great, but i find that getting interesting items makes boring hunting a little more fun. downside is that now i have a ton of noob armor bits and no one seems to be buying! even at TT! i hate to make it TT food. no one seems to buy the texture extractors either, and i only have small quantities so it's not really worth auctioning.

    for anyone that read my last entry here, i had a bit of a weapons problem. i dumped all the ped i had left into my old combat enblade A and hoped it would be enough to get me to lvl 4.6 so i could use my cutter two, but it was not to be. frustrated, i had to deposit again. i repaired the enblade another time and fixed both my 2x0 axes too. still not to 4.6. grr. i did start killing mollisk youngs. got some good loot off of them. i can kill the adults too, but they come pretty close to killing me.

    i also took a break from hunting a few days ago and did some component manufacturing. i've been making basic filters because everyone says thats the best way to skill.. but how dull. making crappy tt food sword was more fun, but dulurium or whatever it's called is really expensive. i'm thinking about ditching manufacturing as a mean of skilling and going with coloring which appears to be the most efficient way to skill intelligence.

    thats all for now. hopefully i'll get a bit of hunting in this evening.

  10. Dairy entry 03.03.08 Monday,
    Monday, bloody Monday nothin much interesting, as now low on budget and sweating to get some PED,
    Althought got an interesting offer, High ranking wanted to check some new armor combination, and asked smb with Vivo to backup. I applied - I had until then got to fapping, so new for me , but it was fine. Mobs hunted were not that hard for High skill hunter and I frequently healed - I was even provided with Vivo. I made over 50 skill point in this way. Used about 4 Ped from Vivo and gave it back
    Cool, thing I started with minimum no skills Heal 5.3 ended with 6.3 and from 13 times in minute to 14.

    Hunt was for about 2 h, some more or less decent loot to, but when result of hunt was calculated there vere some minuses :( but less than expected :) - some cost saving so experiment was some success

    Note , Healing rises Dexterity

  11. Dairy entry 04.03.2008 Tuesday

    Little time and some fun , Reached my limit for today in sweating 500 bottles this time fairly easy, and Yea Got profession level 3 in Sweat gatherer lol and decided to have some travel, had done some TP runs and decided go further , I done also some TP in solo :) like to sneak around.
    Highest point so far in Eudoria was Hadesheim decided to travel North - in Map so that there is Fort Ithaca so that the target, Set out for road and O_O a Merp chased me, As in travels I go without weapons, as there are territories where player can be robed, had to take it to turret, I thought, Hhmmm if there are Merps then this will be hard. But soon Armaxes started to show - I was afraid - regular global are reported from them - so strong and as it turned out not so angry :).

    Close to Water some did get angry on me, but I run in water and thought, cool made this on 1st attempt, Armaxes died. The I notice Hey something is approaching what can that be? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA local piranhas as it turned out 1 started to eat me and soon there were bunch of them, they quickly made short work of me. Next thing I see I am in some Outpost

    Setting out for next attempt Sneak around Armaxes and jumped in water, cool so far we are the I noticed my friend piranjas in radar waiting for me I turned back to coast and started to swim and looking for some path between them. Soon I found good 1 it looked clear from piranjas I started to move north. It did not take long to show up 1st piranha , and it come close , then next one, another , and another 1st bitted me ouch it was a pain, and bitted again I continued North to coast, soon several was biting me and I run out of health just like 1 meter from Coast , what a pity, and back to Outpost

    3rd and 4th attempt ended quite similar just not made so close to coast

    I decided to move mush more around the island keeping distance between Armaxes and Piranjas, so I did, then I notices dome miner I approaching and asked is the easy way o Ithaca known? The answer was interesting that Ithaca lies right North and that’s the easy way - lol I thought He is making fun of me , then He said ok he also need to go to Ithaca I can follow. Near the coast was 3 Armaxes, what attacked him. My 1st thought was that’s it, dead Hero but wait, Miner pulled out gun and made short work of 1 Armax, then used some Fap and then took out next 1 and the last 1.

    Yea I would like skills like him and HP + armor :), Next action was to jump in water the bad piranjas were awaiting, but they were pray this time.

    So I stepped out in Island, soon behind the hill I saw red dots - opaa who this time Atrax or Atrox? As it turned out it was already well known Combiba

    I moved behind the mined and soon the fort was visible, near the fort was some nice bird

    Great New TP in list

  12. Dairy entry 05.03.08 Wednesday


    Did sweating , later decided for some hunt, bought 450 ammunition for Opallo and TP to Fort Ithaca – to these nice bird hunt – did some sweating and the finishing creature – interesting note Sweated creatures are not willing to drop anything

    1 success I was able to sweat dry Exorozaur Young, lol, it even did not move J , then killed and as usual 0 drop , it took 3 successes to dry it out, got 48 sweat bottles

    Soon run out of amo and calculated results, return oooooh return - not taking into account the Opallo - 4.50 PED for amo and whole the lot of 0.48 PED TT possible markup items none + can count ~ 100 Sweat = 0.55 PED = return about 20 %

    Open question where and what to hunt with such rate of return it is simply not interesting

  14. About 3-4 days ago I got to take a friend on a tp run. This is the first tp run I had taken anyone on. This person had been on longer then I so I was excited that I could help him. I took him to Tethys Creek then over to Hadesheim C. From there we explored a dark circle to the West of town. There we got killed and ended up in a place we couldn't escape... again...
    Luckily my great mentor Tree It Zepher (spelling), came to the rescue again. On our way to safety we sweated and hunted. :)

    Then yesterday I went to the other continent for the first time. :) I heard the sweating at Nea's was good. So I got cords from my friend and off on another adventure I went. I made it and did some sweating. 10-15 people on one animal was amazing to see and be a part of. Two hits of a tail and I would die. lol

    I wonder what the next few days have in store for me?

    This contest is pushing me to do things that I wouldn't have tried for quite a while. Usually I do things slow. I am glad I joined. :)

  15. more hunting yesterday. i'm still just repairing the enblade and axes.
    loot was pretty awful. as in not dropping at all most of the time. i gave up on my usual spot near atlas for a while and roamed around camp phoenix. bery's were being ok to me. i seem to get a lot of good skilling when i hunt them. i also went back to the mollisks for a while. they weren't dropping anything that day.

    out of the few loots i did get, it seemed that there was a lot of armor. i'm starting to just build up sets to sell rather than worrying about finding buyers for pieces. the only problem is that i don't seem to ever get the feet.

    next time i'm on i intend to try a little more hunting and then maybe go back to sweating in hopes of skilling some more.
    another thing that has piqued my interest is boxing.......

  18. Dairy Entry 07.03.08.

    Started as ususal with sweating ,then server went down DC, relog and Society chat is broken, feeling very lonely without usual society small chat
    Went to Swamp camp do some sweating , server broke again - AAAaaaaaAAA,
    decided ok lets try som hunting , took Blade set out for hunt

    And it turned little weird to me 1 hit and Dailika running awai and I chasing it swing - miss, swing - miss , and again how I am supposed to kill them?:(

    It turned out that when creature run should not attack it but run befor it and then make final blow

    Quite soon got warning tha soon Enblade will broke ---- Opaaa! Just repaired it ~ 1/2 to 10 PED, how that can be ? See killed some beast that run to me and checked the condition - value left below 1 PED, that was fast money spending aproach - creatures dropped ~ 3 PED.

    As soc chat down was not able to ask society. Asked around and it turned out the Quality is important thing as it goes to gather with value decrease, should search better quality melee weapon

    To test killed 1 Daikiba Young with 2 hits - value decrease 10 Pec, outch, not a cheap weapon to use , had expected differently results - as melee I am taking damage too

    Taken into account I bought long time ago from Auction and paid ~ 3 Ped markup I am in real low with this.

    Dc 1 more time and society chat started to work , good to be back in information flow

    Note. Got to check the Auction system

    Woman day, and Land grab, I decided to take part :) as with previous and Gathereed all my 3 parts of Pixies armor , pulished them up to as shiny as the sun and started to consider that some more armor needed , lol

    Last Land grab was fun - I moved close and Baaaaaah 1 hit with dmg 91 with my 89 hp . me dead , lol this was Marble ????? some time i will also have this , made some more approaches to LA marker , 1 time even got into zone when Teleport countdown was 5 min

    But all preparations was just to get armor shiny as the LG was postponed to unknown future, so moved do some sweating as usual

    Later decided to get some understanding to Auction house , it might be used to earn some PED, just did not get idea very clear , how the final commisions are calculated

    Cool thing,I checked market prices and they are high for tools , if consider the ore prices then it might be some business to make them, Blueprints are cheap , need just get ores and enmaters

    Note.Get some ores,enmater and start to make tools , have to read info about process
