Becoming a miner
I've recently started to lose faith in hunting due to the poor lots, so today I decided to have a go at something new - mining.
First job of the day was to sell off the last few items I had from hunting the past few days. I then had enough money to get the equipment needed to start mining. I bought, from a trade terminal, a detector, extractor, and probes for enmatter mining. It set me back in the region of 25PED, but hopefully the returns would be ok.
Before I left I remembered to stock up on ammo in case I got in trouble. Whilst doing this I bumped in to people selling better armor than I had. It was tempting to start thinking about replacing my armor, but I thought it best to wait until another day.
My mining started out reasonably well in the area around Pandora, but as I ventured further south things became more complex. I eventually died and ended up at an outpost to the west of the desert. It took a while to get out from here to Jason Centre, but I managed it. Then I repeated the whole process and ended up back at the same outpost :-)
The last time I ended up at the outpost a few other guys there were planning to make a run to Jason. We teamed up and killed a lot of creatures on the way. Nothing special in loot, but that's hardly a surprise these days.
By the end of the day my 20PED of probes had netted me around 13PED of enmatter. Not a great return, but then I'm only just starting out, so I don't have the skill or knowledge to do much better. I'll keep at it for a while.
