Ok, here’s the problem. My parents wont let me deposit. Now I am somewhat established. I have full goblin (good condition), the weakest carbine imaginable, and 3 pieces of clothing. (uncolored pants/ shirt and Havok Thong which i got pretty cheap at an auction).
Currently I sweat and i make a pathetic 2 ped a day. I’d like to hopefully be able to make more. What should i do? I like the game quite a bit and i really dont want to quit when i can no longer sweat. I have an idea myself for money but one user i told flat out laughed at me (it seemed so to me anyways).

Convince your parents to let you deposit
Hmm, seriously tho. I think your only option is to gather sweat and fruits and await the new “Animal Poop Collector” profession.
Sry to say Zap, but you’re screwed mate
If you’re underage, then you need them to help you deposit. Unless, of course, you can convince an older friend to deposit for you
If you have money of your own but aren’t old enough to deposit with a credit card, try using one of those pre-paid Visa cards if you can get one yourself. It works like a Visa card but you can only spend what you put into it. I don’t think there is an age limit on one of these cards. The other possibility is if you have a checking account at a local bank, get a check card. At any rate with either of these options you will probably still have to sneak around your parents to deposit with either method, not that any of us have ever had to do that before
In the old days it was possible, that doesn’t help you much though I reckon…
Have you tried finding a mob on which you loose very very little while hunting it? For starters get rid of the armor and all clothing etc and only keep your weapon and ammo… it’s a long shot but you never know. As for what mob you’ll have to find out yourself… obviously a weak mob you can kill easily without dying, but for the rest it’s up to everyone’s own taste. ‘Do what works for you’ a very good friend told me when I tried mining, same applies here I think.
Also check out Dino’s hunting tips over at EP (run a search).
Its hard nowadays… it really depends on how much you want to play this game. Find someone with paypal (or if you have one yourself) and get them to deposit a couple dollars a month or so for you. That is the easiest way and best way. Theres other ways but it will take far too long for too little gain. If you have absolutely no money what so ever, then you have to reconsider if buying a computer and internet line is really a wise choice. Oh yeah, it helps if you have a job too.
I have this same problem i got a decent mentor who helps me alot and when i am low on cash i hunt with my soc like high mobs that loot nicely and if i am truely broke i hike to oil rig and die 10-20 times but i usually get oil.
The prepaid visa should work as it has the same 16 digit code as a real CC does. But I would double check where ever you can get one, they would know better about the cards ability to be used for online transactions.

:eek: You don’t regret lying and stealing from your parents?
I hate to say it but if you were my son, I would have kicked you out on the street for that. It seems you have a lot of growing up to do!

Well ofcourse i felt pretty bad about it.. and paid them the money back straight away really.
About your comment of growing up, i really don’t see the need for this statement since you really don’t know me and i have grown up from when i was 15 ofcourse.
I guess it’s life, about learning from your mistakes and moving on.
Where i am now in pe is great, i donate some money i get from PE to my parent every now and then, so they are kinda ok about it now
Well, I’m not going to proclaim myself a saint in this matter. Teenage development can be hard on everyone, and I left home at 17 because of disagreements with my parents.
It is only by being a parent that I can look at some of my past actions in a harshly critical light with genuine compassion for my parents. This is the growing up I am refering to.
You are right, I don’t know you, so I can only judge you on your current statements - and you seem to have a remarkable smugness now, justifying stealing from your parents and even jokingly recommending this strategy to a newcomer on this forum.
I just believe you must have remarkably forgiving and patient parents.
What was your excuse? - Were you living in poverty and driven to desparate acts out of starvation?
Were you physically abused by your parents and so looking for some means of retribution?
Or were you basically just being a selfish git?
It really should be no concern of mine how you choose to treat others in your life. It is your life, and people will make or break ties with you based on how you treat them.
Anyway chin up! and I wish you the best in your relationship with your parents and loved ones.
But don’t joke about stealing from others so lightheartedly!
