Toto's Activity Journal

[eToto]

Hello fellow entropians,

I was thinking for some time to start a journal and log my mining, hunting and crafting sessions to track my activity and journey in the game. I usually hunt and mine and I’m doing bad on crafting trying to figure it out what’s up with 2-4% success rate on condition…

I was doing fine last year getting a 9k hof on halloween followed by a 2k mining hof that I’ve got with an unamped f-105 and I’ve looted a nice 1k worth blueprint crafting level 1 amp light. This were notable loots and I was also able to complete stage 6 mission galactica. Everything was fine until I sold the items I’ve had worked hard for in the past two years and something happened with my mind and literally started to click recycle blueprints and I was doing fine until I tried to get something big crafting more than 50 clicks on condition with only one success making me loose about 5k… since then I am trying to figure it out that success rate on dailies. However I had many hunting and mining hofs and a lot of good time doing what I love.

So, with this journal I want a fresh start and I will try to write daily between mining runs because they last like 12-16 hours, I’m doing about 600 drops/day and I gave up healing with my mod 2350 that I’ve also sold after I healed someone at dasps and he got a 50k hof and tipped me 100 ped saying it’s a good tip, that was really disappointing and I’ve never healed and spoke with that one again (if team loot would be on my fair share should were around 1-2k).

This is it then, the log starts now! I have as gear an adj. a-3 amped with 20b and I also use 240 recon amped with mayhem alpha and I heal with a Hedok SK-50 Adjusted… as mining gear I use terramaster 5 with level 1 or 2 amps and I will try to level up and use level 3 amps (my first 570 drops with level 3 was a near success ). I have to downgrade to terramaster 3 when I will go on arkadia due to low level treasure hunter and I would love to raise some skills in that profession too. I’m almost level 60 laser sniper and level 30 prospector and surveyor with crafting being a little ignored and I’m level 15 on majority of professions there.

My budget is pretty gone since the end of last year, this is why I want this fresh start but I’m doing regular little deposits like I always did having a subscription approach to entropia regardless of my in game balance, regardless if I win or lose in a month as long as I am able to play.

Let the game begin!

[eToto]

Here we go, my first log!

I started yesterday after the patch by continuing hunting some primordial longu to complete rank 8 and achieve rank 301 in attributes that rewarded me with some intelligence, I’m at 110 now, a milestone as it changed the rank. I had a nice 123 ped global on a provider that filled the gap and replenish my shrapnel.

After I finished with them daily missions kicked in and I’ve got basic pattern pants and force nexus so I did the crafting mission first 30 clicks on condition with a nice outcome, 6.7% success rate that made it a profitable daily. As much as I hate nexus especially when I get a mission for it I had to mine for a friend in need so I got it mostly from Shinook River land area and some other places… no big levels so I had to drop 249 times to complete the mission.

Total drops yesterday were 460 amped with level 2 and I’ve got back 1090 ped in resources so you do the math on the run if curious in the process I’ve hit a level 13 erdorium that worth 53 ped and a level 14 caldorite that worth 122 ped… overall it wasn’t a profitable run…

We will see how I will do on today run, I got iron daily and I will do 600 level 1 double drops. Cheers! ?

[eToto]

Yesterday I faced Monria revenge! Read about that in the post…

I started the day with daily mining on iron and i was doing very well getting a level 13 worth 63 ped of it, completing the mission very fast. I was thinking to do monria mining daily next and I got zoldenite for which i dropped 240 times to complete with very low hit rate and I send almost 200 ped back in the pool, this was the revenge for the 819 ped hof I’ve had on 29 January when I did something unexpected because I had ammo and I started to kill all the big yogs around and mine under them so it was well protected under two abyss persecutors or vacuity of perforation… 29 and 30 january were two awesome days.

In the evening I also got new dailies, a bonus mining and Jester crafting mission which I completed with 58 clicks on condition with an outstanding success rate of 1.7%, can you imagine that? I had some near successes so wasn’t a big loss but I ended the day booking a 240 ped loss on the entire 600 drops run including crafting… at least was fun and now I have 90 daily tokens, enough for a new 240 recon.

It’s funny how this numbers match, I use 240 recon for big mobs, I dropped 240 times for zoldenite and I’ve sended 240 peds back in the pool. Ha!

After all this, last night I went to Cyrene to get my biology skills which were unavailable yet anyway and I felt asleep there so I woke up this morning and killed about 600 Merfolken for Zorra completing rank 22 on them and culled some more Zeladots to keep the pandemic in check (about 800 points). All ended as badly as it can sending about 180 peds in the pool from cyrene. I don’t know how many merfolkens I have to kill more because the only counter I have is from the test of faith mission (35000/40000) but i guess at least 5-6000.

Todai I just received Scaboreas, Alicenies and Metal Plating so it will be a mixed day, I have two level 2 amps some uni ammo and by evening I will need new finder. I think I will get a terramaster 3 next because I want to go on Arkadia and treasure cap my skills for triple drops.

See ya in game!

[eToto]

End of the day update…

Scaboreas were fun and I just acknowledge that some Neconu were around if someone want to hunt them on untaxed ground, however, they were poor and along with defending expenses until i finished the mining amps I ended up with 73 ped worth of loot from 160 ped uni ammo. Mining on Calypso today was not far in results from hunting and from 268 ped run I got back 175 ped in resources.

Crafting metal plating was even for the day with an improved success rate of 7.2% for 111 clicks.

I decided to abandon the Alicenies daily and I bought a TerraMaster 3 and went to Arkadia where I had a 587 ped run mixing a level 1 amp with a 2 and 3 I found a level 14 florican mist and a level 13 telfium that made the entire run pretty even so was good and I made a lot of skills. Prospecting went up to level 32, Surveyor to level 31 and Treasure Hunter to level 16.

Obviously I couldn’t refrain to go to fortune teller and she told me that I will have a great time hunting Scoria so I did hunted about 40-50 of them and guess what? fortune teller was wrong… worst run on Scoria ever, sending exactly 200 ped in da` pool but I completed rank 4 and trust me, hunting them almost naked in Frontier with Serpent Plates was not an easy task. Maybe next time will guess the fortune right and will not push me to the limits

So I am back where I was in at the beginning of January when I started mining with a terra 3 and 300 ped worth of probes… since then I went up to almost 2000+ ped with a little real life help, I think I made 4 deposits summing 800 peds but this beginning of February took all back and it started to happen after the Arkadia event just for the record.

I think I will just mine and do daily crafting for a while but I have to complete some ranks that are next in line and are big bets for me: rextelum, atrox and formicacida - about 100 of each… if I do that I will get another strength point, I’m at 65 now pretty low because i don’t use melee.

Thanks to all who read my logs, see ya around!

Good morning everyone!

Not so long ago i sold all my armatrix weapon blueprints to someone that’s crafting stuff thru a third party connection so we found each other this way and I told him that I mine and mine and mine so we made a deal and he buy all my mining loot at 104% as bulk no matter what I find and yesterday he gifted me with two non-full tt amps worth 58 ped so I had a little fun mining with them. I don’t want to disclose his name but I’m very grateful for the partnership…

After I sold the mining loot I went mining again for narcanisum and garcen and I competed daily as usually dropping about 350-400 times with and without amps until I found a level 14 of oil worth 85 ped that made the mining run pretty even. So I’m not only following my interests but I have to take care of fulfilling my “secret agent” orders which are not hard to accomplish.

I skipped daily on combustor because mining for narc i didn’t found all the belkar I needed so I went on monria in the evening and took the daily crafting mission for 75 pec engineering which I completed on caly crafting about 1300 clicks on basic auxiliary system.

Today I woke up very early at 3 in the morning so I had another rounds of dailies and I already completed nexus and level 1 amp light missions so I can mine freely after trader needs but I have to hunt 90 daikiba and I also wish to hunt them and have a little fun…

That’s all for now folks!

[eToto]

So… yesterday I went and hunted that 90 daikiba and I forgot to watch what’s happening on entropialife where a huy named Ash had 33 almost consecutive globals near fort troy, where I arrived he was just leaving and of course he took all the hunting loot from the area so I ended up with a little loss on a mob that I have on repeat. My bad, at least I could have gone to another location…

Anyway I went mining on a 300 level 1 double drops run and I found a lot of iron claims, a level 14 narcanisum worth 99 ped and a level 13 belkar worth 70 ped and was an awesome profit mining day with a lot of fun included because the crafter I told you about ordered iron, narc and belkar and I was going specifically after that resources and belkar played hide and seek with me, I had to switch about 4-5 locations until I found the level 13.

I crafted my auxiliary system as part of monria quest and I will continue to do so until the blueprint qr will be 100 and I skipped combustor daily again because I had to deliver belkar, I will see what I will get today.

Today mining challenge is magerian mist so it’s a hard one expecially because I will go unamped and even if I know where to find it the amount of claims I have to get is huge so we will see if I can complete until the next daily kicks in… maybe I will get a big claim of magerian, that will be something memorable.

I wish you all a happy weekend!

PS: I want to trade 100qr basic filters blueprint to any qr explosive 1 blueprint if someone have one to spare.

[eToto]

On Sunday morning I had to use our Dark Matter TT Service to sell my mining loot because my guy had some real life work to do which is nice also, Lucho have a record of selling my bulk hunting/mining loot for about 103.5% after refining and auction fees cost. I switched magerian daily for garcen and I said in my mind, okay let’s be efficient and complete this one so I bought two level 5 amps and I was mining for enmatter only extracting that 500 garcen in about 100 drops so one amp will be enough (note to myself) and I plan to do the same for magerian.

I sometimes fill orders on auction and I’ve looked and sold all the garcen for 111% as I needed ped to roll, however was not such a mining day so I entered in hunting mode going for atrox first that halved my ammo stash because they were mean but I went to hunt rextelum that droped a global and formicacida that droped an unlimited item (fap-80) and I was back to atrox to take my revenge and first provider I’ve done was a global also. To get my strength point I had to complete a rank on traeskeron too and they also dropped a global being able to play all day thanks to Lootius.

As a conclusion Sunday was very enjoyable counting 5 hunting globals that made up for the bad mining results. ?

Finally this morning I sold all my loot and I’m prepared for a new mining run which will be a 600 ped one having daily on caldorite and I have about 10 hours to complete it before my next meeting with my crafter which is plenty of time to take some breaks too.

So why do I need strength? Because I really like the Aakas Fire Dagger and I want one for defense while I mine in more dangerous places but I have to skill more so I’m thinking at doing some Arret runs with the frontier knife until I repeat codex on them that will also count for test of faith mission that really require a lot of kills - 200000 kills for a complete cloth set with goggles and coat (I’m close to complete stage 3 boots).

Off I go to my own business, I will report back tomorrow after I complete this 300 double drop mining run, sell the loot and repeat. ?️

[eToto]

680 drops were done since yesterday with mixed results, I found a level 14 megan and a level 15 lysterium but something odd happened on planet as I started to get lyst instead of other resources I looked for which was a little frustrating… was like someone really mined that places a lot and everything transformed.

maybe was me grinding the same places every few hours but i doubt it because i use to do this and resources don’t usually transform like that.

I want to note in this post that I don’t want to make all this journal about profit and loss, this is not why I play for so i will stop counting it but I will continue to share what I do and not really how I do.

I acknowledge that Monria Valentines Event will be this weekend and I will try to attend focusing on completing one more rank on yogs taking it from 20 to 21 and maybe drop a few probes to compete for the 200 ped prize. who read this and want to participate you should know is enough to come on monria and hunt/mine as the team will track globals and hofs using entropialife (and maybe internal systems) and will contact you after if you won a prize:

• 200 ped prize on each mob (shoggoth, yog, cultist and shub) - highest single loot wins
• 200 ped prize for the first mining global
• 200 ped prize for the highest mining hof
• 200 ped prize for the lowest mining global

back to my gameplay, will be a mixed night as I will hunt and mine as well targeting one more attribute point. I’m focusing on developing this avatar like some conscience transfer will be available in the future and who know, maybe it will

[Bamb00cha]

Nice. Maybe at end of each post add “notable finds” where you jist add globals and hofs higher than 50 or 100 peds.
Good luck!

[eToto]

A lot have happened since my last update, I received order for some pyrite and with a terra master 4 I’ve got the feeling of indoor mining in the orange pvp but I found what I needed and fulfilled the order. As a side note I think I need at least a terra master 6 to harvest that pvp properly so it’s not yet for me.

After that I went hunting for more intelligence completing some more ranks getting myself almost zeroed by Shifters inside Howling Mine, I observed that game take from me about 100 ped on average on every attribute point I get - rarely it happens to get it free but it happens so I’m cool with that I just have to slow down a bit and focus on raising mining skills to be able to use a terra master 6 until I will settle.

My attribute goals for now are: 100 agility, 130 intelligence, 80 strength, 110 stamina and 80 psyche.

Because of the extraordinary good loot I’ve got I ended up hunting Arrets about 10 hours on Cyrene completing stage 3 of the test of faith mission and getting my well deserved boots… next is stage 4 for googles which require me to kill 50000 creatures on planet and I will do it until the end of the year.

This morning I’ve returned back on Calypso and I took dailies and completed the crafting one so far with 8.3% success rate on condition that was satisfying to see that it’s improving. Was F-101 so I believe my manufacture tools skills counted as I’m initiated with almost 1000 points and I have to compare this from now on with other type of manufacturing when I will get missions.

I believe that crafting on condition really require some conditions to be meet for higher success rate or globals/hofs to happen like meeting a certain amount of skills and also the blueprint quality rating may influence outcome even if the success rate goes down.

I will start my day doing dailies on traeskeron and argonauts and I will be after melchi water until tonight when I will go on Monria for the event (obviouslt I will sleep during daylight to be able to do that).

[eToto]

Valentines day was not cool at all as I started on Monria with 550 peds and by the end of the day I was zeroed…

During the event I mined pretty much using four terra amp 1, one terra amp VI athena, one level 5 and one level 7 amplifier. All I got were level 13’s and no hof to put me in the position of winning a 200 ped prize. Mining was not so bad and I ended up with zero balance by hunting and completing codex ranks.

This codex it’s a blessing and a curse in the same time…

So because of this I will lay low for the rest of the month as my deposits limit have been reached and I will just shoot thousands of arrets for goggles and hopefully I will complete stage 3 of the psyche master mission where I have to sweat about 11k more.

I will update my journal as soon as something interesting happen, there is no point is writing arrets and more arrets everyday.

See ya soon!

[eToto]

Hello! Since the last post I managed to hunt down all those Arret and repeat the quest but I changed my mind and took some plasma skills because I like the Hyperion weapons and I would like to be able to use higher eff ones.

I also completed the Mer’folken stage for Zorra’s HK… 11.000 of them !!! Was quite a challange because they like to run from you and when you shoot down a level 7 all the level 4 start to defend that one that was interesting and fun as well.

So, about mining… I gave to Uso my hunting gear to sell with a september deadline timeframe and I will start mining with the 2000 ped I will get. I don’t promise I will do my ~600 drops every day as my psyche skills are not so high lol and I break down in a month or so if I do that.

There’s also a pre-announcement I wish to make, I’m up to something and I’m creating a website to take this journal out from forum and hopefully I will lauch it next month where I can separate my crafting (no more condition rule implemented), my mining and my hunting runs.

That’s it for now, I will make the next update when I lauch the external diary website.

Wish you all best of luck!

[eToto]

Good morning!

I want to share a preview of what I’m working on, the website it’s almost ready and it will automatically count runs results based on ped in ped out at tt value.

I make it for me basically so I can enforce some discipline and because I like to write what I do but it will be available for every player that wish to log their runs and you will be able to do it privately or public.

It may take a little time to write the first 3 entries as I want to do it properly and log a 600 drops amped mining run, a 10000 clicks crafting run and about 1000 ped hunting run. I have to do this for the website to look good and this runs will also serve as an example.

So how does it looks so far from the print screen posted below? Is there any interest to log your runs on the website? I would like to get some feedback before launching.

Thank you!

[eToto]

A week or two ago I found something that almost no one seems to know about, a Thugfish. I promised I will make a screenshot and post on forum because not everyone believe me.

Sometimes I like to explore the water and I was coming back from Paradise Landing to Port Atlantis but instead of using p2p teleporter I took the Arkadian Hoverpod and I flew over.

And guess what?

Near Port Atlantis this level 4 Young Thugfish spawned and at first shot I triggered a Razertooth that spawned as well to protect it I guess. However the Thugfish was killed and no other one spawned in it’s place.

Since then I’ve explored more water and checked from time to time the last known location but it’s missing. I think it may spawn only at server reset or something.

Here’s the screenshot and I officially declare this as Most Wanted Creature If any of you find a spawn with some please let me know here or in game.

[eToto]

Hello!

Uso sold my items and I’ve got that 2000 ped, he’s a trustworthy player and I would highly recommend him for healing services or in game deals.

With all that money I performed my desired activities and I rolled 2100 ped in unamped mining for a week gathering materials from Arkadia for a crafter which name I will not disclose as I didn’t asked for permission and ended up profiting from markup which was a 10% on a bulk sale. However the second week I mined in Underground where I experienced 63 consecutive NRF on ore/enmatter and was really bad, I’m glad I didn’t had an amp… rolling and rolling I had 2% left on a Terramaster 3 and I thought to mine for some treasure just for fun and I’ve hit a level 17 aarkan pellets that worth 412 ped that returned all my losses back from hunting/mining restoring my original balance.

I also had the 1000 ped hunt on various creatures that didn’t worked so well but I took the necessary screenshot for my first entries on the website… the loot composition was 67% shrap and 25% loot and I’ve burned a PP-10 and a 10b in the process.

The 10000 clicks crafting session ended up even and I’ve did it on explosives hopping for some recycle bps that didn’t showed up this time even if the original thought was to craft basic tube for some metal skills.

Anyway I’ve took screenshots of everything including the HoF that put me back on track and I will now proceed with the website where I have some more work to do because I want to include markup in the automatic calculations that it does and launch it before a synthetic deadline of September that I have in mind. So, except the hunting session the articles will look pretty good and because of that treasure hof I have a 4th article to introduce.

What I do in game now?

I’m on Rocktropia hunting and having fun after two weeks of hard mining work and I’m down again mostly because testing for the first time in my life a Level 9 Amplifier and a D-Class. Hunting was pretty good except the last two days but I hope for a hit again.

My entire gameplay is based on hope and lucky hits because I don’t have big bankroll to sustain hundreds of hours of gameplay and base myself on markup.

What I will do next?

I don’t know exactly as I wait for crafter to update his resource necessary and go back on Ark to get them but I think I will go mine on Next Island for the Serpent mission, maybe hunt in Ancient Greece for the same mission…

Observation: I really liked how the game was telling me that there is Plentiful of treasure on Arkadia and maybe I should work on getting that skills up to match the prospecting/surveying skills so I would be able to use same finder for all.

Thanks for reading my non-sense!

Ahhh, you should know that I’m a Entropia Legend of my own too even if I don’t participate in the contest… yeah lol… big grats for winners in advance! I hope someday I can participate in such contests like mayhems, resource mayhems, legends and other cool stuff that happen around in virtual life because my life is 90% virtual and 10% real so… you can imagine.

My next update here will be when I officially launch the entropia journal website and will be the final update as everything will be transferred there.

Wish you all best loot and lots of fun!

[eToto]

This weekend, the great lauch !!! I will take the time to finally take the website out from localhost… and… for sure I will have what to write about.

Guess who was on the HoF list no. 1 for 24 hours? I told you I love the Hyperion plasma weapons and they shared some love back. Was a PP-40 + 28B and obviosly me that triggered a 6100 PED hof on an Ambulimax Young on a 350 ammo run.

I’m very happy about that, I bought myself a high tier tk220 and 50 Terra Amp 1 at a discounted price from the crafter I mine for and since then I keep working to get some treasure skills up.

I’ll keep you guys posted about my progress, proofs on website very very soon.

See ya all in game!

[eToto]

Good morning everyone!

Website is live and running, you can check it out at entropiajournal.com

I wrote a few entries in my journal there and more will come today until I catch up with my activity, it’s not perfect and in time will be improved based on your feedback and who knows what ideas I may come up with.

You can register and make a profile, keep track of your runs privately or public, take notes, post your services and do whatever but the main goal is to keep a clean journal that will track and calculate your ROI. If you click on my profile you’ll see how ROI is tracked individually for mining, hunting and crafting and it also cumulate all 3 main activities.

Later today I will make new entries with a Lidacon Stones HoF that I found in underground using just a terra amp 1 (1404 peds) and I’ve done something funny: a pirate killed me near Zeus space station 3 times just for fun even if I didn’t had loot on me so I put a 50 ped bounty on his head and the hunter showed up very fast. He killed the pirate and was so mad

Today I am on Calypso on a 1250 ped mining run (I also wait for daily) and I’ve got Maffoids in the hunting area witch I plan to do and track the outcome.

This is the last update here and I kindly ask a mod to mark this thread as closed. If posting the website address is not allowed I don’t mind deleting the entry but being game related will be very nice to get a backlink from entropia forum, will help google a lot to associate my website with the game and push it up in search results.

Thank you and best of luck!
