How to stretch out hunting on a low level

By

I haven't played in years and decided to check out what's new. I'm fine depositing but I don't want to spend a lot and I'm not looking to become an uber or anything, I just find the hunting somewhat cathartic and I'm trying to stretch out my play. I know a lot of things have changed wrt to the loot cycle, and I've been reading and watching some recent tutorials and posts to try and get up to speed.

I'm finding that most of my runs I'm getting 75-85% returns, and I haven't been able to even come close to bridging the gap. I've tried a variety of weapons (all maxed), including the armatrix ones (which have ridiculous MU, but are supposed to be good), with or without armor, and lots of different low-level mobs that should be within my range. But my returns just suck. I don't need to be profitable but my peds are just draining too quickly.

I understand that I should be hunting for MU, but is this even achievable any more without investing tens of thousands of dollars and hours?

- Allegedly weapon efficiency is important, but I don't see how you can get anything with a high efficiency on the lower levels. The armatrix ones seem to be the highest but even those aren't great, and the L ones add a shitload of MU that I also need to cover. I think the smallest UL one is around 13k ped?

- Looter profession: Is my loot just going to suck until I've grinded however many thousand hours to get my looter skill up?

- I noticed that time to kill seems to make a noticeable difference. I did a a couple of runs with weapons of the same efficiency but different dps on the same mob. I noticed the gun that took about 10-12 shots to kill returned mostly just shrap and eye oil, but the one that took 2-3 shots to kill gave tier components, paint, and extractors much more often. Is this true or was this just luck cycles?

At the end of the day, though, even with looking for high MU items, I'm just not getting enough of them to make a difference. To give an example, I did a 500ped hunt on foul young (100hp), and got 400ped TT back. Most of it was shrap and eye oil. I got about 6ped worth of tier 2 components, a few peds worth of purple paint, and less than a ped worth of various extractors -- all of those things have good MU but definitely not enough to make up for a 20% loss on the hunt. These are only level 4 mobs btw.

Any thoughts or guidance? Cheers

New Starter Packs

By
Greetings Colonists,​ As many of you will be aware, we have been working to overhaul many of the packages and offerings available through our webshop. These new and modified packages will roll out in stages, with the first stage being the replacement of the Starter Packs. These are now available in the webshop . What's Changed?​ With our new Starter Packs, along with the upcoming Starter Kits, we had a few goals in mind for the redesign: To make the choice of pack simple and less confusing To keep the price points relatively low To keep the contents of the packs focused To make the stats of the equipment more impactful and more cost effective to use Approximately, using the new starter pack guns are over 50% cheaper per hour of play in regards to rate of ammo and decay consumption in comparison to the old Z12 Barbarella (via increased DPP). This makes it better for new players - and a great option for low-deposit players alike. We also opted to include a melee weapon i...

How to exploit the sweat system in entropia universe. Make 1000+ sweat per hour!

By
Hello everyone, I know some of you will hate me for this but I don't really care tbh. I really loved entropia universe but the game is ran like a casino, I wish they would move the whole game over to run on the blockchain and make all the other skills more lucrative. I'm probably not the first one to discover this but I will air it out here anyway. ​ So let me explain my findings and steps. entropia universe does not allow you to have multiple accounts per IP address or hardware id. There is a way around this to exploit the system to make more accounts to make more sweat per hour. *this can be done with any mob of course* Upon my research i found out that a newbie player who just spawned to camp icarus can gather ~320 sweat per hour, Which increases as you level up. This works better with Docker but I will be explaining using VMware. To get around the 1 account limit you will need to install virtualization software such as VMware which basically allows you to have mul...
