| ==[000] Calyspo Gateway - your first day==
| | This Entropia Universe newbie guide gives an overview of important topics for new players and points to more detailed information. It's embedded in the general [[Entropia Universe Guide]] whose topics you can access via the panel on the right. If you can't find what you are looking for here or on the linked pages please ask on the forums: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/forums/guides-and-help.21/ |
| If you have already left [[Calypso Gateway]] then skip to [001]. When you start
| |
| this game you are now put on the Calypso Gateway island. Try to do all the
| |
| missions there, because once you leave the island you can never go back.
| |
|
| |
|
| I'll leave you to explore on your own, but here are a few tips.
| | ==What's Entropia Universe== |
| <br />1.To get down the Omegaton Representative on floor 1, use the Televator in
| | [[Entropia Universe]] (formerly "Project Entropia") is a [[wikipedia:MMOG|MMOG]]/[[wikipedia:Virtual world|Virtual World]] platform consisting of several game worlds in the form of planets which are connected through space. Most parts of Entropia Universe are based on a Science Fiction setting. In Entropia Universe you play by controlling an avatar in a 3D world performing activities like hunting, mining, crafting and many more. Entropia Universe is best known for its rather unique [[Entropia_Universe#Real_Cash_Economy_(RCE)|Real Cash Economy]] (RCE), meaning the ingame currency [[Project Entropia Dollars]] (PED) has a [[wikipedia:Fixed exchange rate|fixed exchange rate]] rate of 10:1 to the [[wikipedia:United_States_dollar|US Dollar]] and players can convert 'real world' cash into game currency as well as the other way round. Entropia Universe is free to download and to a large extent also free-to-play (F2P). |
| the middle of the main room. | |
| <br />2.Once you go outside from floor 1, if you go to the right you will find
| |
| Caudatergus, and if you go to the left you will find Tripudion.
| |
| <br />3.Don't hunt or mine more than the mission requires, or your tools and
| |
| weapons will wear out and you may not be able to do the next mission. When
| |
| you finish all the missions then you can go blow your left over ammo and
| |
| bombs.
| |
| <br />4.Visit all the [[NPC]]'s and gather all the missions before you start any of
| |
| them. Suggested order: Calypso Hunting Office Official, Calypso Mining Office
| |
| Official, Calypso Manufacturing Office Official, Carstein Sand, Dr. Melinda
| |
| Clark, Omegaton Representative, Genesis Star Representative, Chikara
| |
| Representative.
| |
| <br />5.You should put the Quest/Missions Log icon on your screen from your Action
| |
| Library so you can easily check your progress. Section [002] tells you how
| |
| to set up your icons. | |

| Also use Q to change betweens walking and running, S to back up, E to jump,

|
| Your first week or two in game will be absolutely free, no PED needed.
| | ==Getting started== |
| Your first task is to start adding teleporters {TP} to your map, and at the
| | ===Download and installation=== |
| same time learn how to avoid getting attacked, by keeping the monsters {mobs}
| | Entropia Universe is free to download and to some extent also free-to-play. While choosing a planet to start on you can already download the installer from the official website and install the game. Once installed the download of the actual game content will start. Here is a direct link to the installer: http://install.entropiauniverse.com/entropia_universe_setup.exe Further information can be found on this page: [[Entropia Universe download and installation]]. |
| out of your inner radar circle.
| |
| Check the EntropiaPlanets Wiki list of [[Calypso_Teleporters|Teleporters on Calypso]], to get a map of all the TP sites.
| |
|
| |
|
| You don't actually have to run to each teleporter, once you get near
| | ===Account creation=== |
| enough, and are in that TP's revival area, you can just die, and you will
| | Further information: [[Entropia Universe account creation]]. |
| revive near the TP. But make sure that you actually go to the TP and get the
| |
| message that it has been added to your map.
| |
| Avoid the red PVP areas in the middle of the map, you will die there. If you
| |
| need to get to the other side, run around it or use TP's to get around it.
| |
|
| |
|
| If things get difficult, generally, staying to the rivers and oceans are
| | ===Avatar creation=== |
| safer. It may take longer, but you avoid the monsters. And for some unknown
| | In Entropia Universe you mainly play by controlling an avatar in an 3D environment. The avatar is created in an avatar creation session at the very beginning of the game. You can leave the avatar creation session with one of the presets (which is not recommended) but if the look of your avatar is important to you might want to take your time trying out the numerous options in the avatar creation session. If you are not satisfied with the look of your avatar later in game the good news is you can change the appearance again but the bad news is this will quite likely cost you money in form of service fees to other players who offer the avatar customization servives. And one thing cannot be changed ever again: the gender. You can find further information about the avatar creation on this page: [[Entropia Universe avatar creation]]. |
| reason, you can breath underwater, but mobs can't, so you can drown them.
| |
| Should you get stuck somewhere contact the nice people at [http://www.euforces.com EuForces]
| |
| for a rescue. After you finish getting all the TP's on the [[Eudoria]]
| |
| continent, you should do the [[Amethera]] continent also, but there is no hurry.
| |
|
| |
|
| TP running can be frustrating if you let it, or if you take your time and
| | ===Finding a mentor=== |

|
| Your next task will be to go to the Port_Atlantis Mission Broker outside of
| | This topic is discussed in the "Getting started" section because as soon as you enter the game other players might offer you mentorship. So you might want to be informed in advance what Mentoring/discipleship is all about. In any other case you can postpone this until you have played a few days and got to know the very basics. |
| the Event Center at 61470, 75154 (you can hit P to get your position). Accept | |
| the first mission, and then head up the path leading north between the two
| |
| gun turrets. Stay on the dirt path going north till you get to Swamp Camp
| |
| at 61244, 77056. Turn in Mission 1 to the Swamp Camp Mission Broker, and do
| |
| the next two missions there too.
| |
| Collecting [[Vibrant Sweat]] and selling it to other players can be a way to play
| |
| this game without having to deposit. To collect vibrant sweat, you equip your | |
| VSE Mk1, and aim it at an animal and activate. Hopefully you put it on a
| |
| number key or an icon on your screen along with "Toggle Auto Use".
| |
|
| |
|
| You can sweat or hunt in the first person or third person views.
| | The mentoring system is a formal approach to encourage veteran players to help new players. It is definitely recommended to get a mentor and become a disciple. Even if it turns out during your discipleship that your mentor doesn't really help you you still have an advantage from mentorship once you finish your discipleship by graduation, which happens after you've gathered a few achievements and have gained a specific amount of skill points: on graduation you receive a reward in form of a complete armor set, your mentor by the way receives a gift too. |
| In the first person, move close enough to the animal, aim your crosshairs on
| |
| the animal, and activate your device by left clicking or hitting the number
| |
| key you put it on.
| |
| In the third person, you click on the animal once to select it and then
| |
| double-click on the animal to auto-move to the right location and begin
| |
| sweating.
| |
| Or you can also use the left mouse button to drag a mobs health bar onto your
| |
| screen. And if you have already equipped your Mk1, you can then right click on
| |
| its health bar and select "Use Tool" to auto-move to the right distance and
| |
| start sweating.
| |
| Once I get the distance figured out, I usually drag its health bar onto the
| |
| screen, and then switch to first person perspective to sweat or kill it.
| |
|
| |
|
| Your goal is 500 Vibrant sweat. That may take a while, but it is worth it to
| | Further information about Mentoring and discipleship can be found on this page: [[Mentoring guide]]. |
| get the associated skills. I have collected over 20000 sweat personally.
| |
| Afterwards you can sell your sweat, or you can save it for when you get into
| |
| mind force skills. If you do sell it, ask around to be sure to get the best
| |
| price you can.
| |
| If you want a change of scenery, the other place that lots of people sweat is
| |
| at [[Teleporter:_Nea's_Place|Nea's Place]] on Amethera. I actually prefer sweating there. At Swamp Camp
| |
| and Nea's Place there are often people there who skill on healing. Say "thank
| |
| you" to them.
| |
|
| |
|
| If you have not done so yet, it is a good time to start looking for a
| | ===Joining a society=== |
| Society. Check out a Society Terminal. The thing that I enjoy most about EU
| | This topic is discussed in the "Getting started" section because as soon as you enter the game other players might invite you to join their society, the Entropia Universe equivalent of clans, guilds, companies, etc. So you might want to be informed in advance what Societies and society membership are all about. In any other case you can postpone this until you have played a few days and got to know the very basics. |
| is chatting with friends. It is the best part of this game.
| |
|
| |
|
| next step to follow…
| | Society membership adds a lot to the social compenent of the game. Being in an active society with friendly members can have many advantages. Most important for beginners is that you almost always have people to first ask specific questions in the society chat channel and to get further help. Also among society members items and resources are traded for better prices. And last but not least events, team hunts, playing [[Instances]] and other group activities are often organized within societies. |

|
| ==[003] Armor, hunting and healing - second to fourth week==
| | Further information about Society membership can be found on these pages: 1. [[Joining a society]] 2. [[Society management]]. |
| Goals:
| |
| <br />[ ] Buy a set of Pixie or Goblin Armor.
| |
| <br />[ ] Buy an Emik S30 (L) BLP Pistol and a Castorian EnKnuckles-A
| |
| Powerfist.
| |
| <br />[ ] Swunt till you max out at least one ranged and one melee weapon.
| |
| <br />[ ] Max out the Vivo T1.
| |
| <br />[ ] Scan people, animals, robots and mutants.
| |
| <br />[ ] Finish the last 2 missions from Swamp Camp.
| |
|
| |
|
| Ok next step involves PED.
| | ===Avoid getting scammed, tricked and exploited=== |
| Now you are going to buy things to go hunting.
| | This topic is discussed in the "Getting started" section because as soon as you enter the game you are a potential viction of unethical actions by other players. It should be noted that scamming takes places rather rarely but still you might want to be informed about methods of scamming tricking and exploiting and how to avoid being their victim. |
| I recommend buying a full set of Goblin or Pixie armor. This is a good time
| |
| to become familiar with the auction. You want to purchase with the lowest
| |
| markup. If you right click on an item, and select Market Value, you will get
| |
| the current sales data for that item, and you can buy wisely, perhaps getting | |
| it below current prices.
| |
| You may have to wait a couple of days for the sale on the auction, while you
| |
| do something else like sweating, and just check back from time to time
| |
| on your bids. It should cost you less than 25 PED to purchase a full set of
| |
| Pixie and repair it if it is not fully repaired, or 45 PED for Goblin.
| |
| Goblin offers better protection if you are hunting Snablesnots. But both are
| |
| good starter sets. And when you can afford it you should upgrade to Shogun
| |
| armor. A full set of Shogun costs about 155 PED fully repaired.
| |
| These are "Unlimited" armors, so you need to repair them every day you use
| |
| them. Also with Unlimited armor there is a charge for putting it on, so leave
| |
| it on all the time if you can. Some people prefer Limited (L) armor because
| |
| they don't have that charge.
| |
| Sometimes I hunt without armor, and save PED that way, but you should carry a
| |
| healing tool with you if you do that, just in case.
| |
|
| |
|
| Next you need to go to the Auctioneer and purchase an Emik S30 (L) BLP
| | Further information can be found there: [[Avoid getting scammed, tricked and exploited]]. |
| Pistol. It is the easiest weapon in EU to max out. You can purchase ammo for
| |
| your pistol at the Trade Terminal {TT}. Also purchase a Castorian
| |
| Enknuckles-A Powerfist from the TT as soon as you can afford it.
| |
| Later on in this guide, I will recommend using several weapons while hunting,
| |
| but for now you should stick to just one weapon at a time, till you max it
| |
| out and get a feel for how to use it efficiently.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''VERY IMPORTANT'': You should pull up your inventory, and right click on your
| | ===Depositing or non-depositing=== |
| weapon, and select Item Info, and then select the Show Detailed Information
| | ... |
| button. Do this often. When you see that BOTH the "Learning period damage"
| |
| and "Learning period hit" say “Not anymore”, you have maxed it out, and it is
| |
| time to upgrade to the next model. That is how you judge the Skill Increase
| |
| Bonus {'''SIB'''} on an item. Weapons and tools are most efficient to use when they
| |
| are almost maxed out with the "Hit ability" at 10/10, but not quite there yet.
| |
|
| |
|
| Ignore the messages that your weapon or armor has gone up in "tier" level,
| | ====The non-depositor's way==== |
| and all the bells and whistles. Tiers are unimportant for now.
| | * [[About Making Money in Entropia Universe]] |
|
| |
|
| Finally the hunt,
| | ====The depositor's way==== |
| The first animal you should hunt is the Snablesnot-Male Young *2*.
| | * [[Depositing money into Entropia Universe]] |
| Snablesnot-Male Young are easy to find around Swamp Camp. You can also hunt

| Always try to sweat an animal first, and then kill it when it starts
| | ==First steps inside the game== |
| attacking. That way you get extra sweating skills from it, and it is more
| | [[File:Entropia_Universe_-_Viewport,_dashboard,_and_desktop_icons.jpg|thumb|400px|[[Viewport, dashboard and desktop icons]].]] |
| profitable. It's called "swunting".
| | The first you will see when entering the actual game is the viewport, the lower interface elements called "dashboard" and two menu bars at top containing so-called "desktop icons". Learn more about the basic interface elements on this page: [[Viewport, dashboard and desktop icons]]. |
| Now if you take my advice, and hunt small things that you can quickly kill,
| |
| swunt them first, use a weapon that you get a SIB on, and then sell your
| |
| loot at the going markup (don't TT it), you should be able to get by with
| |
| just small deposits, and possibly break even. You waste money when you start
| |
| hunting outside of your skill level.
| |
|
| |
|
| You should buy the Vivo T1 from the TT, and use it to restore your health.
| |
| To save PED you can always just wait in between killing each animal for your
| |
| health to come back up. Doing that is free, but that makes for very slow
| |
| going. Besides, you will get useful healing skills from using the Vivo T1.
| |
| But be careful, you shouldn't waste 10 points of healing when you only need 5
| |
| or 6 points to top off your health. And as always, watch the SIB, and switch
| |
| to the next model up when you max out the Vivo T1. Again you can determine
| |
| which model should be your next by checking out Entropedia or my chart in
| |
| section 006.
| |
|
| |
|
| You can also get skills from scanning using a scanner purchased from the TT,
| |
| and they come fast and cheap. But scanning can be boring, and it takes PED.
| |
| So if you are short PED, do it later. Just pick mobs in each category with
| |
| low aggression to scan, and stay outside of their aggression range, and "auto
| |
| use" your scanner. I recommend getting at least each scanning profession up
| |
| to level 3.
| |
|
| |
|
| I acknowledge that if you want to speed up skilling in hunting or mining,
| | [[Orientation and movement]] |
| that the fastest way is to concentrate on just those activities.
| |
| Just don't forget to have fun.

|
| Ok, now you have been playing for a month and you are no longer a newbie.
| | ==Possible further directions== |
| | * Missions |
| | * Sweating and other F2P activities |
| | * Hunting |
| | * Mining |
| | * Crafting |
| | * Other professions |
|
| |
|
| Continue to work on maxing out the SIB on all the weapon from the TT.
| |
| I usually hunt from the first person view, but I move to position in the
| |
| third person, and I drag the name/health tab from the mob onto my screen to
| |
| keep track of its health while killing it and to loot it easier.
| |
| If I am shooting, I will usually start too far away and right-click the mob
| |
| to auto-move me to the right distance before I shoot. That way you don't
| |
| waste ammo by shooting from too far away, yet you start at the maximum range
| |
| to hit it.
| |
|
| |
|
| Know your weapons and how much damage they do, and learn to read the health
| |
| bar of the mob, so you can judge how much damage to do to finish it off.
| |
| Sometimes you need to switch weapons if you need just a small hit to finish
| |
| it off. The TT pistol is a good finishing weapon at first.
| |
| Place your weapons on hot-keys, preferably your number keys, so you can
| |
| change weapons quickly.
| |
|
| |
|
| Also by now you will be needing some good armor.*4* It is good to have a set
| | ==Links, references, contributors, categories, and more== |
| of mid-level armor for general purpose use, such as Aurora (L) or Zombie (L).
| | * Further reading: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/is-entropia-a-dead-end.7860/ |
| Personally I have about 7 different sets of armor and plates to use depending
| |
| on what I am hunting. Armor plates attach to each piece of armor to enhance
| |
| its protection.
| |
| The best advice is to go to Entropedia and click on Armor, then click on
| |
| Armor Adviser, then enter the creature and maturity you are planning on
| |
| hunting, and just click apply. You will see what is the most efficient
| |
| combination of armor and plates to wear.
| |
| My favorite outfit to just run around in is BodyGuard (L), because it looks
| |
| cool and costs almost nothing, and doesn’t have that nasty charge for
| |
| changing like clothes do.
| |
|
| |
|
| Once you get a good set of armor and a decent healing kit {FAP} you can offer
| | <references /> |
| your services to others to heal them while they hunt. Most people just charge
| |
| for the decay on the FAP because it is a good way to gain skills. It is good
| |
| to carry around a fast heal FAP for emergencies and a slow heal more efficient
| |
| FAP with a SIB for general use and skilling.
| |
|
| |
|
| Now that you have some skills at defending yourself, at this time it would be
| | {{Contributors}} |
| good to start mining. To start with mining enmatter first, you need to
| |
| purchase the Ziplex JU10 MatterSeeker, the Genesis Star Energy Extractor, and
| |
| a bunch of mining probes from the TT. The JU10 has a range of 55m, so it is
| |
| most economical to space your probes at least 110 meters apart. Most people
| |
| count how many seconds it takes them to run 110 meters, and then run and drop
| |
| by that count. Some people move slowly and chart their results on a graph.
| |
| When you find a claim, it pops up a range display, and you move to the marker
| |
| and use your Extractor on it till it runs out.
| |
| I have included a list of mining gear and the SIB progression to follow in
| |
| section 007. When you are comfortable with mining buy ore mining gear too.
| |
| And if you have not purchased an energy refiner and mineral refiner from the
| |
| auction yet, you will need those also. They make it easier to carry around
| |
| more, so you don't have to return to your storage as often.
| |
| Mining is my favorite past-time in the game, and it builds very useful
| |
| skills.
| |
|
| |
|
| You should check the auction, and consider purchasing a Lesser Teleport Chip.
| | [[Category:01 Before Starting]] |
| They make getting around quicker, and sometimes help if you get in a
| |
| dangerous spot, but they do waste PED. Remember, you can always hit T on the
| |
| keyboard and teleport back to the closest revival terminal for free.
| |
| You will need to purchase a Mindforce Implant and insert it using a Implant
| |
| Inserter from the TT. Then you use mind essence to power your chip. You can
| |
| purchase mind essence from the TT or auction, or you can make your own mind
| |
| essence using sweat and force nexus in your energy refiner.
| |
| | |
| Should you decide to get into crafting know it takes a lot of PED and patience
| |
| to do crafting *5*. I enjoy crafting using the stuff I obtain from mining.
| |
| The best place to start is to find a Technician (usually near an Auctioneer)
| |
| and buy the Blueprint Book Component (Vol. II) and a Galaxy SI Ion Conductors
| |
| Blueprint. You get the SIB on that BP and can use the Animal Muscle Oil that
| |
| you get from hunting. When you have enough PED I also recommend buying one
| |
| of every blueprint and book that the Technician sells. Most of those
| |
| BPs have SIB.
| |
| Be sure to stick to level 1 BP's till you max out your Success Rate (the
| |
| little green bar) on the crafting machine for each type of BP. Otherwise you
| |
| will have lots of failures and loose PED.
| |
| | |
| Finally, if you decide that you want to short-cut the skilling process and
| |
| use skill implant chips you can. I have never done this, I prefer natural
| |
| skilling. Perhaps I am too conservative at times, since most uber players I
| |
| know have chipped skills in. Please research chipping in skills before you go
| |
| and buy them.
| |
| | |
| Next step to follow…
| |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| | |
| ==[005] More hunting advice==
| |
| Goals:
| |
| <br />[ ] Max out the SIB on all the weapons listed in section 006.
| |
| <br />[ ] Collect all the TPs on both continents.
| |
| <br />[ ] Take a space flight and visit Club Neverdie asteroid and the Crystal Palace
| |
| space station.
| |
| | |
| More hunting advice:
| |
| You should continue working your way down the weapon chart I provided in
| |
| section 006. *3*
| |
| You can skip around a little on the order of weapons you skill on, but
| |
| following the charts is the best way to build weapon skills. I say max out
| |
| all the weapons with a SIB, because most of the skills are general and help
| |
| in other areas too. Though it does make for slower skilling, so if you prefer
| |
| you can always stick to just one weapon type.
| |
| | |
| Once you have maxed out several weapons, and are starting to hunt big mobs,
| |
| you may change how you hunt, possibly using multiple weapons per kill.
| |
| Your dream goals for weapons will to be to have 2 or 3 primary weapons.
| |
| <br />First, you should have an economical weapon for killing low level mobs that
| |
| get in your way, and for finishing hits on bigger mobs. Your finishing hit
| |
| should be just enough to kill the mob. A good example of an economical
| |
| finishing weapon is an axe.
| |
| <br />Second, you should have a high power fast kill weapon for when you hunt
| |
| dangerous mobs. A good example of a fast kill close range weapon is a blp
| |
| pistol.
| |
| <br />Third, you should also have a nice long range weapon. Good examples of long
| |
| range tag weapons are plasma rifles and rockets.
| |
| <br />Fourth, mid-range. If you have the PED you may also want a nice mid-range
| |
| rifle that is fast.
| |
| <br />Fifth, be sure to use amps where you can, starting with the Bull Tac 10 (L)
| |
| for BLP guns and the Shear XR40 (L) for energy guns. You can't put high end
| |
| amps on low end guns anymore, so move up the scale of amps as your skill goes
| |
| up. For efficiency sake, you should get a Fi/Ra/Co Beast and a Omegaton A103
| |
| or A104 when you can use them.
| |
| | |
| Remember that the faster that you kill a mob, it does the least amount of
| |
| damage to you and your armor, and it regenerates less health, saving you PED.
| |
| Also you don't want to waste PED by overkilling the mob, so choose the right
| |
| weapon for the job. A good hunter might change weapons 2 or 3 times per kill.
| |
| Starting with the long-range tag, then your high damage close-range, and then | |
| your finishing weapon for the last hit. And sometimes you get more skills
| |
| when using more than one weapon per kill.
| |
| | |
| Hunting really big mobs can be fun, but remember, that if you can't take it
| |
| down in less than 20 seconds using your SIB weapon, you are probably wasting
| |
| PED. Still it can be fun, if you don't mind the cost.
| |
| | |
| ''Again I need to point out, that if you want to skill quickly as a hunter, you''
| |
| ''should skip the sections on sweating and scanning etc., and stick to skilling''
| |
| ''on just one weapon type. You can always go back and get the other weapon''
| |
| ''skills and other professions later.''
| |
| | |
| At this point adding enhancers to items is still not cost effective for
| |
| the beginning player. So it doesn't matter how fast your weapon tiers up if
| |
| you don't intend on putting enhancers on it.
| |
| If you want to use enhancers on your items you need to have tier boxes
| |
| unlocked. The better the tier rate the faster it reaches the next level and
| |
| the box unlocks. If you are only going to use one enhancer, on (L) items look
| |
| for a tier rate around 1000 on just level 1, or around 160 on UL items.
| |
| Unfortunately the tier rate given to an item is random. So if you are buying
| |
| a TT item and it has a poor tier rate, sell it back to the TT and buy
| |
| another.
| |
| | |
| Next step… you are an Uber and tell me what to do.

| Most miners carry around two extractors: the TT version to save PED (they are
| |
| the most efficient), and a faster version for when you are in a dangerous
| |
| location. Also, any refiner is better than the TT version, so buy your
| |
| refiners on the auction.

| ==[008] Abbreviations and references==
| |
| '''Glossary of Common Abbreviations:'''
| |
| | |
| EU = Entropia Universe (renamed Planet Calypso)
| |
| <br />PED = ingame money (approx. 10 PED = $1 depending on fees)
| |
| <br />(L) = Limited item (can't repair, but generally more efficient)
| |
| <br />UL = Unlimited item (repairable at a Repair Terminal)
| |
| <br />TP = Teleporter (blue dots on your map, once you find them you can use them)
| |
| <br />TT = Trade Terminal (used to buy ammo and general supplies. To "TT something"
| |
| is to sell it back at its base cost to the trade terminal.)
| |
| <br />Mob = animals, robots, and mutants
| |
| <br />Swunting = Sweat first till it attacks, then kill (most efficient form
| |
| of hunting)
| |
| <br />SIB = Skill Increase Bonus (found on the second tab of the items info,
| |
| extremely important)
| |
| <br />BP = Blueprint
| |
| <br />FAP = Healing Tool
| |
| | |
| EntropiaPlanets wiki also has a more extensive [[Glossary|glossary with Entropia Universe terms and abbreviations]].

| | |
| '''References and further explanations:'''
| |
| | |
| *1* After reading this guide, you should also check out some of the other tutorials here.
| |
| Another very thorough guide for entropia was written by Alice and can be
| |
| found at http://rp.apachenet.de/downloads/pla...ypso_guide.pdf
| |
| *2* If you go to Entropedia, and click on Creatures and then Maturity Levels,
| |
| and sort the columns by Damage, and you will notice that the [[Snablesnot Male]] Young and [[Sabakuma]] Young have the lowest Threat level of any
| |
| creature worth hunting (the small birds run away, and loot poorly).
| |
| *3* Make sure you create an account at Entropedia so you can log in and save
| |
| this. Then go to the Weapons chart; then click on the box next to
| |
| 'Configure Columns'; then add a green check mark next to the first two
| |
| boxes that say 'Req.' and 'Maxed'; then go back and uncheck the box next
| |
| to 'Configure Columns' to save the chart; then click on the header
| |
| 'Maxed' to sort the chart by that. This should give you the list of
| |
| weapons with Skill Increase Bonus (SIB) you need to skill on and in what
| |
| order. That is how I got the list of weapons in section 4.
| |
| *4* You can read How Armor Works at: http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/armor/94684-how-armor-works.html
| |
| *5* I would check out: http://www.candyman.se/pe/bobthebuilder for crafting advice,
| |
| it has excellent stats on what to craft with the highest PED return.

| ==[009] End Notes==
| |
|
| |
| This document is a work in progress, so I do appreciate suggestions. Private
| |
| message me your suggestions, so that I can look them over, and add them as an
| |
| edit.
| |
| I am not writing this to farm for new players. Nor did I write it to compete
| |
| with any other tutorial or to disagree with anyone. I have never borrowed the
| |
| work of any other tutorial, it is original. I just like helping other people.
| |
| I wrote the first draft of this for my society and friends back in 2005.
| |
| I feel that this is a unique tutorial, because it mostly emphasizes getting
| |
| as many skills as possible as cheaply as possible. Most other tutorials have
| |
| the perspective of skilling as quickly as possible. My best suggestion is to
| |
| use this in concert with other tutorials. You can never have enough
| |
| knowledge.
| |
| If you haven't figured it out yet, I like doing everything in this game, and
| |
| suggest that people try everything in this game at least once, even if they
| |
| end up concentrating on just one skill.
| |
| If you use this tutorial or find it useful, please acknowledge such, and say
| |
| "hi".
| |
| | |
| Some friends have received my permission to post this guide on their website,
| |
| but I can't keep those updated. I will always post the most up-to-date
| |
| version of this guide here on Entropia Planets, EF, and at www.gamefaqs.com.
| |
| I wrote this guide using Notepad, so if it makes it easier to follow, you can
| |
| copy this to Notepad and print it out or download the copy at gamefaqs.
| |
