Play smart from Day 1

From Entropia Directory wiki

1. Get a Mentor
   • Best to find a player that is very active, senior and shares a similar timezone.
   • Your potential Mentor will have to invite you to be his disciple.
2. Collect all, but head for these Teleporters first.
   • Port Atlantis - Trading Port
   • Camp Phoenix - Sweat Farm. (Sweating is a slow but sure way to Earn PEDs
   • Fort Argus - Snablesnot hunting ground NE of town.
   • Fort Troy - Daikiba & Exarosaur hunting ground.
3. Don't beg!
   • Begging will quickly give you a bad reputation and the good people of Entropia Universe will avoid contact with you!
   • There are plenty of generous players that will happily help out New Players but you have to earn their respect and friendship.
4. Don't get scammed

5. Don't buy a BIG GUN!!!
   • Everyone is tempted in the beginning to get a Bigger, Better gun. Noooooooo!!!!!!!!
   • Here are the reasons not to, and this applies to any Weapon, Med kit or Armour
   • A) - You need to build skill in say rifle to be able to do maximum damage with a rifle.
   • B) - You start with no Skill and will miss alot, so better to miss with an efficient weapon to avoid losing PEDs.
   • C) - Bigger guns use more Ammo and require higher skills to get decent damage. So with a gun that can do 40 damage you will be lucky to do 10 damage and are therfore better off with a gun that does 10 Damage and uses less Ammo.
   • D) - The guns in the TT, like the Sollomate Opalo have learning bonus for beginners to skill faster on.
6. Choose a Skill and stick to it.
   • Skill is everything and what gives you the edge so that you do not loose heaps of money.
   • Pick one skill and qualify on that (By qualify I mean as a Disciple).
7. Choose the right skill for your future.
   • HANDGUN - This is a fast one to skill on but Pistols have limited range. but you will skilling towards a Maddox IV one of fastest, efficient guns in the game.
   • RIFLE - Better Range and a little more costly, but generally the weapon of choice for most. Rifle gives you the advantage of distance so you may be able to kill a mob before it gets to attack you!
   • MELEE - Beginners choice is the popular RepEdge Battle Axe 1x0 & work to a RepEdge Battle Axe 2x0. These are highly efficient weapons
   • For a Heads up on efficient weapons to work towards see the following, Weapons that save you money (Skilling) & Weapons that save you money (Advanced).
