I thought it would be nice to hunt a bit higher mobs
[/QUOTE]
Plz don’t mind at me, but the quoted idea is wrong as a fundament. I said it before, ppl in PE are proud and sometimes that gives very wrong ideas to newbies.
Why in the first place would you like to hunt higher mobs? I mean, of course, you can say “for fun”.
Point is, you gotta choose very carefuly your aim in PE: is either fun either efficiency. Of course, these two notions are not at all exclusive on from another, but in large percents.
Dute to the fact that we don’t know how the loot system works (not that we will ever know), to be efficient means aim for the skills.
Make a simple experiment. Buy your katsuchi honor (it has some prohibitive prices these days, btw), and try some booooring thingie. Hunt a mob which u are kinda safe from. Say, cornundacaudas. Now, kill let’s say 5 mobs with axe 1x0 and five mobs with katsuchi honor. Take not of each hit as follows: note tt value of weapon, hit, note damage (missed hits not included, they don’t decay ur weapon anymore), note again tt value of weapon, and so on.
After the ten mobs killed, step back and watch ur results: how much tt value u spent from ur weapons and how much damage u inflicted? make that mathematics for both axe and honor. The result should look like: honor: tt value spent: x peds, total damage inflicted: xxxx. axe: idem. Now, make a divide, damage inflicted/peds spent both for axe and for honor. I already can bet my monthly salary that the fraction will have higher value for axe 1x0. The difference can look like 1 ped only, which means each 5 mobs will be more expansive to kill with 1 ped. Or the difference can be bigger;) - to be more clear: if the honor has a maximum damage capability of, let’s say, 50 dmg, and ur average dmg with it is 30, that means, at each hit, u throw in the wind 40% of the decay spent - which looks very inefficient imo.
Tho, a question remains. When is, still, economic-wise to change from axe 1x0 to honor? The best way to find out is this kind of experiment, for me it was ok once i unlocked martial arts, but each of us is an unique combo of skills, so i don’t believe in general recipes.
All what i said has absolutely no relevance if is ok to u to spend monthly 300$ or so in PE and have a blast slicing everything around, but do not dare to post after 2-3 month here that “OMG, this game is SO expansive”, as I did:D.
On the flipside, of course, if u start hunting atroxes is not at all wise to use axe 1x0, u need fast and large damage. But that fast and large damage must be efficiently inflicted.
Same idea goes for rifles/carbines. One should hunt with opalo, under my opinion, 3 month or so before upgrading to mk 2.
regards and cheers,

P.S.: and what exactly made u think that ur “newbie weeks” came to an end?
Or which equipment would be good?
