Success!
In my last entry I mentioned that Kyl was organising a treasure hunt for our society. After an awful lot of running, to what seemed like the four edges of Eudoria, I finally found the treasure. There were three piles of money containing 1 PEC each. I contacted Kyl and he informed me that I'd won, and that I was the first person to win too. This meant a 250 PED prize was mine!
I was ecstatic and jumped around an awful lot. Later on I meant up with Kyl inconspicuously at the Biodome at Port Atlantis. He handed over the prize and congratulated me. I'm extremely grateful to Kyl for organising this, and with such great prizes too.
Unfortunately a few days later the news came that Kyl had left the society. I do wonder if this had something to do with the lack of enthusiasm for his treasure hunt, which only a couple of people in the society bothered to have a go at. It's a real shame to see him go - he's been a great help to the society and has helped me out personally on more than one occasion.
Sadly, this was followed by the news of the departure of Smoerble and then the departure of Kaboom. I wonder if the society is dying out. Whilst wondering this at Camp Phoenix I came across a recruitment drive by the British Bulldog Elite. I like their style, maybe I'll look them up if things don't improve in EuTropians. Here's me looking at their huge pet which they were using to pull people in:
So after some great news and then some sad news I must get back to the important task of the week - spending my winnings. I decided to spend 200 PED of the prize on a Gold Card to help protect my security here in Entropia. There's been a lot of other people who've had stuff stolen from them and I don't want that happening to me.
So that left me 50 PED to spend. I used it, together with some money from my account, to have a look at the area of MindForce. Many use it around here to do stuff like teleport and heal, so I thought I'd see how it all worked. I purchased the relevant tool, implant, chip and mind essence to get started with teleporting. It all work well, but I was left feeling disappointed. The range on the teleport was so short that it hardly seemed worth the cost. So for now I've sold all the equipment off and will put the money towards my new armor instead.
After a week of trying to get a full set of Shogun armor I finally succeeded. I decided not to keep the face guard since the markup was pretty high on it, and instead got a Paladin guard. The new set looks pretty cool too:
I've also had a successful week hunting and mining. The first notable event was a Large (XII) crude oil hit on a mining trip. This is the biggest single hit I've ever had and was worth around 40 PED. I also found a few other good deposits of enmatter which lead to a profit (yes, profit!) of nearly 7 PED. Ok, it's not huge, but it's a profit.
The next surprise came on a hunting trip with a group of people I met up with rather randomly. We hunted, amongst other things, large Feffoids, and got some great returns. I took around 36 PED in money, and a further 9 PED in goblin armor parts. This brought me a profit (again!) of 16 PED.
Finally, in another group hunt I looted an A103 amplifier worth 15 PED. Due to the group rules it actually went to another team member, but since I was alone (the others had died) at the time he kindly gave it to me. To repay the gesture I sold it back to him at the TT value since he needed an amplifier.
I finished out the week by trying to sell off a collection of goblin armor parts - my old set and the looted ones. It should get me in the region of 40 PED, which makes my account balance look fairly healthy.
