Hallo dear support team
Id like to report a bug in the mentoring process. some avatars are are able after they graduate to sell their skills and be added as disciples again, which could be abused in order to gain an expensive ME gift for the mentor.
I hope I could help with this

This is no bug, the system is build is build that way. Thank you still for reporting.

Holy cow… Ummm… are they nuts? O.o Heh, this could be used over and over, ML-45 ME gained a few times… nice profit.. too badim too lazy to skill all the time :laugh:
Hmm… give your disciple a chip with skills and get the stuff.. give the mentor skills back.. do it again? 
Dunno if its possible btw
Don’t forget the cost of the chip and % of the skills that are lost each time… for that awesome brave me. :twocents:
Naah, disciples cant use implants, but hey… you skill,you finish, transfer skills on the mentor, get ME item, repeat… Kinda wierd, never expected this from MA :rolleyes:

Honestly, what would the point be ?
Not that I think it’s a good thing to do, but why not just make a new avatar ??

Because it takes time to get a new one approved :rolleyes:
considering the quality of mentor items - its simply not worth the time or $$
either way MA doesnt care cuz they make the money from the skilling, and skills sold are sold to other players so no hair off MA’s sack.

But… But… I LOVE my Cobra ME whimpers
And I wouldn’t mind getting a DOA or ML-45 ME either…
Is this a good time to point out so far I have made 90PED profit skilling my Longblades?
nearly at 1.5k skill so if I can profit skilling it then surely its gonna be worth doing it over and over for ME items!
Too bad my mentor is never around to benefit from me :laugh:
Its boring as sin doing it though 
lets make an experiment, Ill provide my time and my avatar for skilling, need a mentor and suporter because I am low on funds these days, we can make an agreement to share the money from ME items 65 % for the mentor 35% for me.
Regarding the answer of MA this shouldnt be against the EULA, so who wants to work with me.
/If my bussines idea is against the EULA, please just give me a warning MA/
:scratch: big brother is watching us 
We need to weight the cost versus the value.
How much does it cost get a disciple to graduate?
We would also need to know how many skills it take to fill a chip, because we don’t want to waste a gsi.
This could be an interesting proposition once we figure out the cheapest way to do it.
the skilling proces shouldnt be to expensive, because you gain loot so the expenses are less, if the disciple is lucky its an perpetum mobile. I can get aprox 100 lvl HG and LB on low lvl mobs like tants in aprox 1-2 hours. U need aprox 1500 lvl to fill a HG chip, less if u are above 2 k, because lower lvls are holding less exp, than higher lvl.
It would cost aprox 300-500 PED graduate this is my opinion, egarding the fact that ill bring average 50% of the hunting budget back if skilling on low end mobs, with low end weapons, and aprox 15 days, more or less so far my working times allow it. Ive heard also about ppl who graduated in 24 hours with mining.
ok, lets brain storm it, this is capable to be a nice discussion.
Does anybody have list of possible mentor gifts?
We could do the cost versus the potential profit.
goes off looking for a mentor gift list
I beleive they allow it because you could just create a new avatar everytime if you wanted to. By allowing it they are reducing the number of fake avatars they have to make room for on their servers.

:evilking:
the cheapest way would likely be longblades..
the “mentor”/investor would prepare an avatar with 8-12 axe 1’s a fap 80 and fap 15 but no armor. the “desciple” then hunts every day around fort troy best hours are daytime (7am-12am MA time). they hunt diakiba and exarosaur along with the occasional intruding foul. all loot gained form the hunts is put back into repair if profitable hunt it is saved for times when it is not profitable. all skins/wool is refined and saved until a decent amount is available to sell it to repair with. when the desciple reaches 2k in LB they chip the LB skills and repeat.
the sale of the full LB chip and mentor item should cover (depending on the ME item) the initial investment.
I do my LB skilling there and when the hunt is a loss it is at worst 10-15 loss at best i profit (yestruday i made almost 60 ped from 6 axes, enough to repair 2 axes i wasnt able to repair from previous hunt due to no ped and still buy 1k ammo to use on foul)
You also occasionally loot a fap when you do you use the looted fap instead of the ones bought.
I skilled HG usually SW of Mino, Merp and Tantillion, most of them 2 shot kills with an ep 40, nice loot, nice skills and a chance to get high end items on merp.
Alas we can try it with the avvi of my brother, he just tried once to play PE, and stopped, its an almost clean avvi.
one problem, what about secondary skills that might not fill a whole chipe but still be passed the newbie level so you wouldn’t be able to be a disciple again and end up loosing money buying a gsi just to get rid of the skill.

if you planned on extraing the LBs for example and doing the disicpleship again these would prob fill chips after 2 maybe 3 completions
