Welcome.

Here I will keep a blog of a new player.
I hope it will be helpful to others who want to follow a similar path in the future.
In case you need to contact, I created a profile for my avatar.
(It is thought that in the future I will also develop the content there)

let's get started.
If you're about to start Entropia Universe adventure, this could be an interesting place for you.
I will try to describe the situation on the path that I have chosen.
I'm a new player, so I'll be learning along with you.
I also encourage the "Older then Carbon" players to correct me and suggest solutions.

I recommend that you, too, new player, at first spend a while to get acquainted with the game,
I was looking for a game in the climate of space exploration.
With games of the type of "Real Cash Economy" I never had contact, and seeing that the game is soon 20 years old, I thought it was worth a try.
From what I understand it is a type of game similar to paid subscription with the difference that in Entropia, it is a kind of Pre Paid tied to activity. For me it's better than a subscription, because I play when I want, without the feeling of paying for something I temporarily do not use.

Why start(this is also a suggestion from the community on FB) on Monria?
For players familiar with the game, it is worth having free transportation between planets. For me it is important to have the best possible contact with the support. And that the owners of the game do something with it.
That is why I chose Monria.

I spent a week digging through the game's Forum's, YT, and worst of all, the game's Wiki.
This caused a plan to hatch. I decided to become a hunter who will go through the longest path in the game to get the the IFN Dropship.
And mainly this will be the place where I will try to describe what is planned, what is being implemented,
how the situation relates, what are the costs of getting this ship, etc.

The game will be from the perspective of the player who made the deposit.
I bought a Platinum starter pack for $75, Refill Ammo packs for $25
and 950 PED's for 100$.

I found the mentor thanks to FB.

To the point.

20/12/2022
I'm starting my adventure with the game.
Current goals:
UL Planet Ship-IFN Dropship

Armor: Viceroy

---

I went through the missions from the tutorial, and the initial missions on Monria.
I used the teleport for 7PED to get to Camp Icarus on the planet Calypso.
The first thing I did was ask an advanced player to help me with the Gauntlet instance. It worked.

I'm now going to get the unlimited Bukin's Spare Rifle, as a finishing weapon and for weak mobs, via in-game missions.
After which I will head to Arkadia.

---
I hope the post can stay.
And I will share the time spent on the mission and the costs incurred.

My disciple, and he already knew all the "newbie stuff" from his own research. I love finding new players on social media and other places and helping them get started. Those arkadia quests are going to take some time, be sure to keep an eye on monria/toulans months events...lot of opportunity there. I look forward to watching your progress.

After arriving in Arkadia, I need 10,000 Vibrant Sweat to get passport.
I chose from the list on Entropia Wiki the weakest Mob, Carabok.
I will first start with the missions : IFN Challenge - Carabok Stage 1, IFN Challenge - Gallard Stage 1, Mission Galactica Stage I(sweat).
IFN Terminal Relentless Firebase (Arcadia, 23907, 9309).

After obtaining a passport, I will start-Starting Out - Basic Training.

Until the start of the IFN Dropship mission, I will not post.

EDIT
I was at Relentless base in terminal there is no daily with carabok.
Currently Im on Quarry and it looks that first I need to have Sweat.
Or i need to make some pre quests?

Hello adventurer, and welcome to Entropia!

The dailies you can see on Wikipedia (Iron challenge for Calypso and IFN Missions for Arkadia) were wiped out on Codex introduction.
Those are not available anymore.
This is what the passeport (10k sweat) originally unlocked for non-Arkadia born.

I *think* the passeport is still needed to start the Oratan Payback (IFN Ship) questline though, since you have to be a IFN and get the Military IDs. (Someone please jump in and confirm!)


Welcome.
I bought 950 PED's for 100$.
Please tell me that your mentor screamed at you, and this is the very last time you will be doing this!
In Entropia, buying PEDs on the Webshop is basically a scam.
1$ = 10PED
This is the base of Entropia.
If you need pure peds, just do a credit card depot, and you'll get peds, please just avoid the Webshop 😬

Do it again, and i will scream at you. In your sleep.


Please keep the adventure going, i am loving the Tale from a pair of fresh eyes!
Be safe,
E~

It get's you access to the newbies mission chain which assigns your firebase and gets the free hoverpod etc I think you have to complete this before you do the dropship missions.

On that note it does take many months to complete the dropship missions even if you log in and hunt every day

Hi. My mentor didn't know I'd be adding peds.
Can you guide me on how to make a purchase next time?

In a while I'll see if the sweat exchange works at the passport office,
and then I'm flying to the Arcadia moon.

Don't feel bad about it, i have done it when I started playing as well, until somebody screamed and explained me.

There are no "right" way to deposit, just that the "buy PEDs" in webshop is an obvious trap, since a simple credit card depot gives you PEDs in full amount.

It all really depends what your preferences and games are.
I'll break it down in my three personal choices (so that engages me, my and myself only), and you can go from there on your own.
I did not include strong box on purpose, not my cup of tea. I'll leave that to the gamblers, and the kitty collectors :)

  • If Ammos are prefered - Starter pack refills (large) simply because garanteed 50% skill pills in the pack, for free (zero fee / get 100% of your money in ammos).
pills.png


  • If ammos are prefered, but don't care much about skilling (pills not needed) - Then the ammo packs may be prefered. You will get 100% of your money in ammos, get loot pills for free, which you can refine for free ammos ingame, and sell the HDNA things on auction.
ammoos.png


  • If pure PEDs are prefered
Scenario as if a big purchase is planned, or in my case, was to play melee (no ammo needed back then).

depotped02.png


That should be done with your PEDs, and gone with your money.



Hope it helps, Don't spend it all at once,
Enjoy your adventures!

Thank you Eleni Von Estlla😙
This information raises the value of the post for new players.

Currently, I have returned to the planet Arkadia.
Thanks to the players, I found a location for group sweat collection.
I also learned about an event organized by players called SSI.
I will edit this post later and provide waypoints.

---
New player diary.
I have now decided to buy 10,000 sweat to start the mission chain faster.
After completing the daily Oratan Payback mission, I will collect sweat and try to resell it at the SSI event.

The plan is simple, Recoup the purchase costs incurred to the required passport.

---

Time to enter the game.

Game diary.

The initial missions consist mainly of scoring location points.
It's good to have a Sleipnr, without this vehicle you can easily get killed along the way.

23.12.2022 +/-19:00 I became a private:D
Entropia 2022-12-24 00.07.54.png


On entropy wiki I read that Skill Strength is related to Carry Weight. So taking advantage of the fact that Oratan Puny doesn't hit too hard I decided to complete this mission using a dagger or sword from TT and low ammo burn gun from TT To lure Mob in safe place.

Target:
Entropia 2022-12-23 20.46.01.png

Weapon Posibilities:
Entropia 2022-12-23 20.58.29.png

my choice:
Entropia 2022-12-23 21.10.17.png


I calculated the amount of ammo needed to bring mob on myself.
188x100+30% and it gives 24 440.
But as I see TT dont count 99 so thats why I buyed that small extra.
Price for set 14.44PED.

After 100 Oratan Punys
Entropia 2022-12-23 23.47.39.png


Sadly but i Forgot to take out loot from team hunt at SSI event so dont know how much I got.
But I recived 1.60PED ammo as prize.

I will edit this post with Spendings and loot for stage 1.
DAY-INPUT-BURN-OUTPUT

1-14.44PED-5.25PED-1.60PED+Loot unknow.
2-0PED-2.706PED-4.74PED
3-9PED-5.184PED-+/-5PED
4-0PED-4.6509PED-6.52PED
5-9PED-4.53PED-9.50PED (+sold TT gun and ammo +/-4PED)
6-0PED-4.49PED-4.96PED

7 Days cost +/-0PED
Input 41.44PED
Burn 31.3409PED
Output +/-41.66PED


Currently I choose to visit other planets for this holidays.

For this weekend I visited all the planets.

Cyrene got interesting theme
Quests with Blueprints and give Xmas gift after arrival.

Calypso is quite well developed.
got all thats needed.

Rocktropia has bugs and overall is not interesting.
Only cheap weapons and ammo.

Toulan is very beginner friendly.
Lot of newbie friendly mobs.

Next Island is something to take a break from the atmosphere of the game.
No opinion, just made for society.

Arkadia is interesting.
it's a shame that there are no dayily missions which discourages to hunt.
entropia1.jpg


My top to Visit as for now when I will fly out of Arkadia.

Toulan then Cyrene, Calypso, maybe Next Island.

For Arkadia in my opinion SSI event should not be made on Tax Ground as its not newbie friendly and this event is dedicated to new players.

entropia2.jpg


Stage 1 updated. I will stay with knifes or swords for this quest.
If there will be mob to pull out of group then I will use TT gun.

Currently exploring Arkadia to obtain all quests.
Any hiden ones? Any suggestions?
Please shere them in comment.

Following this little adventure of yours :)

I think SSI is organised by BIG INDUSTRIES, which owns the lands they operate on, this is the "why" :)


There are a few things on Arkadia that you can look at, though proceed carefully regarding the cost and time needed to achieve those.

Viceroy armor :
Extremely ugly beyond words in every sense of it, and untradable, but this armor is pretty solid for early to mid-level, and pretty economic to use.
You can consult the guy at Quarry office upstairs and start gathering materials for it as you naturally play.
It can then be upgraded later by farming materials in underground.

Ark Moon quests and dailies :
There are a few quest up there, to gather a full set of hazmat suit, moon globe, and another gadjet - as well as a smuggler quest (need to offer arkoins to a NPC to activate, and not sure what the reward is - presumably the backpack)
Dailies also to get the 2ped ammo at zero cost (except space thruster decay and fuel to get in and out)

Smugglers:
Then the "Real" Smuggler quest, where you need to offer two times 500PED worth of Arkoins to a NPC to activate the quest in underground, then need to reach stage 5 or 6 of the iron mission on all five mobs in underground (something like that).
This unlocks the IFN instances where you "can" loot UL smuggler plates, which are okay, but pretty rare and likely expensive to farm on your own.

In all and for all, Arkadia isn't a bad planet, it is just deprived of developement and pretty outdated in gear, MU and such.
the main course over there nowadays are the codex, due to the wide variety of mobs.

Keep up the logs and good luck :)

Hope this helps,
E~

Thank you😘.
Currently im on Cyrene. And will travel to Calypso, then Toulan. and it looks thats my way, waiting for Arkadia to be more updated, going there back only for oratan quest.
I think to buy strong boxes for test, check what they give, and when stuff not needed I can sell. For new year gift to myself.
I still look for house, just to stop sleeping in sleipnir or under the cloud when wheater is good. Where are cheapest ones?
I wish to have one on Monria but all I can spend for now in game is 1000PED max.

I discovered also TP on Arkadia with land plots and self build homes but I think thats to expensive for that time, but if I can build somewhere my home it will be more interesting form me.

As you know I like long way in games not short ones.
Whats the price of land plots where I can build my own home?
And on what planets they are available?

Land plots were a fiasco that started on Calypso some years ago.
Purpose was to develop gardening, and it is now broken and won't work anymore.

I believe they were going for 8000ped back then, without the house.

The ones on Arkadia were the same, result of a fiasco of an event.
They very likely cannot be obtained anymore, and would be as broken as Calypso's.

Cheapest appartements would be on FOMA or Calypso, in a grim tower, at the time they were around 800peds, not too sure now.

Monria's range around 2000peds, so are Toulan's.


You can track the estates for sale in auction, under estates or something :)

Do you feel lucky? On Toulan it is possible to loot an appartment/shop or booth.
It is a rare occasion tho so you better be lucky. ;)

Yes my mentor looted shop there. But I think It will not drop out of Puny Mobs.
And I will stay with small mobs for longer time to make my Avatar better.
Who knows maybe something will happen and I will be lucky.

So for now Sleipnir is my home. Van Life 😂.

Welcome.

In a nutshell what's going on.

There was an error issue with the purchase of the Platinum package.
Support assigned an additional session with full option to create an avatar. It took a while, but Christmas.
So here's me.
Entropia 2023-01-02 17.42.39.jpg


On the planet Calypso, I passed the mission to improve the weapon from Bukin.
It took 250 robots to exterminate,
but they droped a lot of improvements to weapon, rocket launchers, and carbines, plus a pistol.
It was worth it.

On the planet Cyrene, I did Christmas missions. And all the missions on Blueprints.
That's why it was time to join the team doing repair flights. It came down to Team Varyag. This will be the first community that I will join on my own initiative, and not because someone fired blind invitations at Port Icarus.
Entropia 2022-12-30 12.38.00.jpg

I also found a Player who is helping me with Gauntlet Stage 1 and 2.
The community in the game is very helpful.

I also for the first time, used the Warp Equss service.
However, weight limits are a big minus.
Methinks such a vehicle should not cost so much.
A maximum of 25000PED would be a good price, so that the return on flying with the customer would be achievable after a year and not +/- 2500 flights.
Which to achieve with normal play could take way longer.
I am not talking about No Life players here:snapoutofit😂.
Entropia 2023-01-03 19.26.02.jpg


The plan remains permanent,
Dropship and after it grind for CDF Armored Personnel Carrier, during game Viceroy armour.

Currently outside the Oratan Payback Mission.
I will see what life on a ship with a crew is like.
I'll cut down trees, and I'm thinking about joining BIG on Arkadia SSI events.

I also plan to visit events on Monria and Toulan, as a regular visitor,
observer and participant.
Because I see that the whole year has a lot of them, and it is the most active Planet Partner so far.

If you play during the working week, from 07:00-10:00 or 18:00-21:00,
and on the weekend 18:00-10-00, we will definitely meet.

So invite me to your friends, I'm always happy to help or chat.

P.S.
Last day for Oratan stage 1 today.
So calculation will appear in next post from life in Entropia.
