	Weapons, just like all items in Entropia Universe, have a specific value you can sell them for to the Trade Terminal (TT), consequently called "TT value" or even shorter "TT".

	In Entropia Univese there is no barehanded fighting, to cause damage you always need a weapon. There is a huge selection of weapons and 99% of them irrelevant for beginners (because specific amounts of in-game skills are needed to use them efficiently). There are also many ways how weapons can be categorized, one major would be distinguishing between Melee weapons and ranged weapons, or between [[Skills]] respectively "professions" related to different types of weapons.

Utilize SIB weapons

@@ Line 196: / Line 196: @@
 ====Utilize SIB weapons====
-...
+SIB means "Skill Increase Bonus" which is a feature of many weapons, mainly of limited weapons. The skill increase period is attached to profession levels, so you only receive bonus while your profession levels are within the range specified in the item info of a weapon. However, being in the SIB range is mostly not efficient and not recommended, it only means that you gain a little bit more skills. But in almost any case it will be more eco to used SIB weapons you have "maxed", meaning your professions level are equal or higher than the upper limit of the SIB range of a weapon. Example?

In this section you can find further tips for hunting more economically. Some might fit your preferred play-style, others might not, consider to adopt what you like.
	====Hunt at your level====		====Hunt at your level====
	~~...~~		"Hunt at your level" is a popular recommendation. Hunting at ones level can have several meanings, for example it can mean to spend only as much money for hunting as you can happily afford for entertainment. But most likely it means not to hunt creatures you are hardly able to kill which would result in increased decay of any equipment you use for hunting.
	~~So you're a level 20 now?~~
	~~Thinking about trying those Atrox?~~
	~~Go for it, just make sure you're not over spending for~~ your level.

	~~You max the Opalo or any other TT weapon around~~ level 5, ~~after this - start looking~~ for ~~a (L) Limited weapon which you have Yes or not anymore~~ for.
	~~This will greatly change the possibilities of which creatures~~ you can ~~now hunt. You'll eventually find something which is a good level~~ for ~~you to hunt~~.
	~~A lot of people come to Entropia looking for ALL the answers straight away but~~ it ~~will take you some time~~ to ~~fully understand where~~ you are ~~at and where you are going; which mobs are easy and~~ which ~~are harder.~~

	~~Chat to people~~ in ~~game to ask what they think is a good mob~~ for ~~your level~~.

	====Hunting "naked"====		====Hunting "naked"====
	Don't wear any armor. When being hit armor decays. Just make sure to hunt creatues you can kill without armor.		Don't wear any armor. When being hit armor decays. Just make sure to hunt creatues you can kill without armor. However, at higher levels and if you are using a healing device under some circumstances it can be more economic to wear armor to reduce damage received instead of to use a healing tool to restore health, it's something to consider at a later point.
	~~Alternatively~~, ~~use the ''"Armour Advisor"'' on Entropedia. This will tell~~ you ~~which armour is the most~~ economic to use ~~against~~ a ~~specified Mob.~~
	~~Armour plating will increase the size of your Armour repair bill~~, ~~so try hunting unplated first.~~

	~~Balance your Armour and Medical costs and try~~ to ~~determine which will be cheaper in the long run~~.

	====Don't heal====		====Don't heal====
	Don't heal yourself ~~with a tool~~. Healing tools decay when being used. You can hunt creatures that rarely hit you before you manage to kill them or you can just wait until ~~you~~ health is fully recovered and do something else meanwhile, fx chat, read a page or 2 in book, etc etc etc		Don't heal yourself. Healing tools decay when being used. You can hunt creatures that rarely hit you before you manage to kill them or you can just wait until your health is fully recovered and do something else meanwhile, fx chat, read a page or 2 in book, etc etc etc. However, as mentioned just above, at higher levels and if you are hunting armored under some circumstances it can be more economic to use a healing tool instead of wearing armor, it's something to consider at a later point.
	====Use eco amps====		====Use eco amps====
	Amplifiers can increase your weapons firepower. Some amps might be slightly more eco than your weapon, using them will make your setup more eco in total. More firepower can also result in being hit less before you kill a creature, consequently potentially saving armor decay and healing decay. A more in-depth look and an example can be found there: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/weapon-amplifiers-why-do-they-matter.9397/		Amplifiers can increase your weapons firepower.
