Scouting in preparation for Saturday

Log entry for the 18th of January 2015.

Tuesday, this coming Saturday will be the 53rd Space Skilling Saturday which makes it the 1 year anniversary. I wanted to do something a little different and to this end set out in my Quad to confirm the locations of a couple of space creatures we do not normally hunt, namely Locusta and Dropships. During my journey I visited Athena Space Station, Howling Mine, Erebos Space Station and Crystal Palace where I stayed overnight. I successfully confirmed the coordinates I had were correct and while at each of the check locations I engaged with the creatures to test their strength. I thought that Locusta would be. More suitable but decided to leave it to chance with my crew each thinking of a number come Saturday.

Wednesday, I descended to the Calypso surface where I collected various auctions I had won whilst off world, these included some weapon skill modification enhancers levels 4 & 5 which I quickly fitted to the Karma Killer so that all 5 open slots contained skill enhancers. I needed to test these, I had noticed that Chug’s Hideout, for that is where I was, had an unusual number of people milling around and that there were several mobs showing on my radar that were at a fair distance from the environs indicating their size/strength. A wild stab in the dark this but I figured Longtooth! I took a small amount of ammo and headed out, my wild stab proved to be correct and I set to. I found that it took quite a long time to kill them even with an A104 fitted but I did not miss often. I killed 9 or 10 without much difficulty, I’m thinking accuracy enhancers may be better but that’s for the future. The return was disappointing but Longtooth usually are.
I spent some time putting items, mostly Mindforce chips on auction and I discovered a stash of Herb Boxes in my store, I stuffed one in Pamela, the price of these has become quite good since they are no longer available as TT items in Ancient Greece.

Thursday, I returned to Arkadia without incident, here I tried the Teladon, I did quite badly but did get to 330/1200 in the IFN stage 3 challenge.

Saturday, Space Skilling Saturday, it went quite well, I did nothing else.

Sunday, after transporting an old friend I returned to Arkadia where I tried my luck with the Oratan Miners near Steadfast, other than Space Skilling Saturday this was probably the best result of the week with just 1 small global, I did reach 10744/60000 in the IFN kill point challenge stage 6, I think I have done this before but am not sure.

This weeks hunting cost was 370PED, the return 78%.

A slow week

Log Entry for May the 4th 2014

I did not get much on-line time this week so this should be fairly brief assuming I can prevent myself from waffling.

I have hunted Various Oratans, Kadra, Halix, Nusul and Otorugi this week, that I resorted to Halix and Nusul shows how poor my returns were (almost 64% for the week). I did complete the Kadra IFN Stage II challenge, on the last hunt of which I resorted to blades, using all of my Archon’s Sword and some of the Dagger of Despair to complete the mission, it was good fun if expensive.

Wolta completed her 4800 Riptor challenge, it has taken quite some time and lots of dedication, she reports the reward was good and got a trophy too.

7 skill gains this week, nothing particularly interesting. My Vivo T1 (yes I still use one of those when I have time) reached tier 1.9 as is ready for upgrade, the items I need to do this are in storage on Calypso I think. The Karma Killer reached tier 4.7, I am looking forward to tier 5.

That’s it. Hopefully I will have more time in the coming week.

 

A lack of avtivity

Log Entry for November 1st 2013

I have been rather busy elsewhere of late, the football regular season is at about half way and I am watching a lot of games leaving me with less time in the Entropia Universe. I have no doubt that will change when the season gets close to the end.

However from what time I have had on Arkadia of late it is just as well, I was aiming at level 50 Laser Pistoleer (hit) by the end of the year and to this end am about half way through my Scoria 400 IFN mission (the reward for it a considerable amount of handgun skill apparently), the returns have been extremely poor and I am not sure I can continue this with the amount of loss I have sustained.

Wolta and I did some team hunting at the weekend and this went quite well, I think one of the hunts even had a positive result.

I shall continue my sporadic hunting sessions, I may try returning to Calypso for a while to see if the home world will be kinder to me.

The Karma Killer has begun to increase in tier again and 2 more Viceroy armour parts have been tiered to level 1.

At the moment I am fairly ambivalent about it all, I have been here before and got over it so am expecting to do so again.
