To Start
When you first reach the planet of Calypso, you will be released into the city
of Port Atlantis. From here, you can do any of the following:
- Explore (become familiar with the area)
- Interact (talk to the citizens of Port Atlantis)
As you explore, especially in uninhabited regions, you will come across the
various creatures of the Entropia Universe. Now, you are probably going to be
tempted to try an attack upon the creature. This, is a death sentence
unless you have previously used a credit card to purchase PED(the currency of
Calypso).
For now, until you aquire a weapon of some sort, you have the option of either:
- Running for it (do you really feel like dying?)
- Gather Vibrant Sweat (soon to be explained)
Should you choose to run, you will probably have great difficulty at escaping
until your evasion and agility skills have been improved.
Your second option, the gathering of Vibrant Sweat, will probably be your
primary means of cash at first in the game(unless you have purchased via
credit card).
Aquiring Vibrant Sweat
The gathering of Vibrant Sweat, can be boring but profitable for the Entropia
pioneer. In order to begin your quest to milk every last drop of
sweat from that creature that you stumbled upon, you need to follow these
simple steps:
1. Right click on the target, and select Gather Sweat.
2. Wait for your avatar to power his Mindforce.
3. Repeat step one.
4. Remain as close as possible to the target without being attacked.
5. If successful, run away and find a new target, if not, try again if you like.
On average, Vibrant Sweat will sell to other players from anywhere from .45
to .55 per 100 sweat bottles. I know this doesn't seem like much, but give it
time, and you can use your hard earned funds to invest in some equipment.
Then, you'll hopefully start to rake in the real cash.
Real Estate
Housing and land can be purchased from other players, or auctions. When you
make the purchase, you will be given the deed. From this point, you must
locate a Real Estate Terminal to claim your house/land.
Some houses, mainly apartments, will not have any land at all. This is
gradually less profitable to the owner, because when you own bits of land, you
may charge a hunting tax. Also, certain players may want to use your
land to hold various events, which you may charge for them to use.
