The Strong Argonaut Claw FEN Edition is an extremely rare melee weapon. It was only available during the recent FEN event. You had to loot it and it’s one of the most sought after weapons in Entropia Universe. We now have this rare item among our inventory! Let’s take a look at this super weapon and see what we can learn before it’s gone!

Basic Stats

The Strong Argonaut Claw FEN Edition is a Power Fist Melee weapon. It weighs just 1kg and has a range of 5 meters. The DPS comes in at a whopping 85.5 HP! Damage per use is 67.5 HP with a base attack of 76 attacks per minute! That means the reload speed is just 0.8 seconds!

This impressive weapon has an incredible 81.4% efficiency. That’s almost unheard of for a melee weapon! Decay is 1.059 PEC per use. This is a melee weapon but it does use ammo. You can use either Weapon Cells or Universal ammo and it consumes 1305 ammo per use.

The max TT value is 125 PED with a minimum TT value of 3.75 PED before it needs to be repaired. That means there are 11,450 uses between repairs. This makes it an ideal melee weapon for extended hunts.

Other Stats

The Strong Argonaut Claw FEN Edition does 3.319 HP of damage per PEC. Of the 67.5 HP of damage each use delivers 16.9 HP is Cut and 50.6 HP is Impact. As if that wasn’t enough this weapon even has a SIB, or Skill Increase Bonus!

Since it’s a Melee Weapon it will require a Melee amp if you wish to use an amp. It’s recommended levels are level 60 Brawler (Hit) Profession and level 60 Brawler (Dmg) profession. No matter which metric you look at this is hands down one of the most impressive weapons in the game!

Strong Argonaut Claw FEN Edition Secrets

The base stats for this weapon are mind blowing. Rightfully so as it was only able to be looted during the Fifteenth Entropia New Year event which concluded in January 2019. It is of the highest rarity with only a few of these weapons existing.

One thing that should be noted is the high base attack rate. This is the perfect weapon to pair with a ring like the Ares Ring Improved or the Ares Ring Modified. Doing so would lower the reload speed and further increase the DPS the weapon is capable of.

You could also pair this weapon with special buff pills. You could use pills such as Devastim 10mg which would further increase the critical damage you could inflict by 40%. No doubt that pairing this incredible weapon with the right rings and pills could result in some serious hunting!

If you want to hunt some of the most serious mobs in Entropia and use a melee weapon to do it you want this weapon! It is only going to get rarer as people refuse to sell. We’ve already seen almost all examples of this weapon removed from the market. Who knows when another example will surface for sale.

Now Available For Rent!

We are super excited! We are now able to offer one of the ONLY Strong Argonaut Claw FEN Edition’s in game for rent! Through our Ninja Rental Program you can rent this amazing weapon without having to make the long term commitment to purchase it!

Ares Ring Modified: When Good Isn’t Enough

Posted on May 26, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 04:00 pm

The Ares Ring Modified is a powerful weapon in Entropia Universe. When used properly it can help you in virtually every aspect of the game. If you read out previous article over the Ares Ring, Improved then you will be even more impressed by the modified version. Let’s take a look at this rare ring and see what we can find out.

The Ares Ring Modified: Basic Stats

Looking at the Ares Ring Modified we can see that the basic stats are similar to that of the Ares Ring Improved. These stats are slightly higher. This is what qualifies this ring for the designation Modified. The modified version has a 10% faster reload speed. It also gives you a 0.8% greater chance of inflicting a Critical Hit. When you do produce a critical hit you do 10% more Critical Damage. These are some VERY impressive buffs!

Much like the over versions of the Ares this is a right hand ring. It has a max TT value of 10 PED. The minimal TT value is 0.30 PED. Like all rings the Ares Ring, Modified decays 2.000 PEC when you take it off. In game it is considered jewelry, weighs 0.1 kg and is worth 1 item point for storage or shop purposes.

This ring is only available in Strongboxes and can not be looted or crafted. In addition the item description contains the statement: “IMPORTANT NOTE: This item currently does not deteriorate while equipped, but may have deterioration implemented in future Version Updates.”.

Modified Reload

The largest advantage the Ares Ring Modified can provide is the 10% faster reload speed. We know that reload speed helps with hunting, mining, sweating and repairing. Having a full 10% faster reload can be extremely valuable and save you a ton of time. Not only can you cycle more PED. You will also be able to gain skills faster. Time is money and this ring will definitely save you time!

If you want to get a job as a healer for hire this is the kind of ring you need. Having a full 10% faster reload will give you a huge advantage. This is the kind of reload speed that is needed to heal small hunting parties. It will also allow you to heal yourself faster. That means you can return to hunting more quickly. It also means you take less damage when healing mid kill. The faster you can heal the better!

If you are mining a 10% faster reload speed can mean less time drilling. Finding big mining claims is great. But you want to extract them quickly so you can find even more claims. This ring will help you do just that. You’ll be able to excavate 10% faster which means you can get back to dropping probes!

Why The Ares Ring Modified Is A Weapon

Much like the other rings of the same family everyone looks at reload speed. This great ring has two other buffs. It increases you chances of a critical hit by 0.8%. In addition you will do 10% more critical damage. These buffs are only useful when hunting. That means that this ring was designed primarily to aid in hunting.

In my eyes if it’s primary focus is hunting that makes it a weapon. This ring modifies three critical aspects of any weapon. While it may have other uses in other categories I believe it should be labeled as a weapon. That’s it’s primary function after all. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look for opportunities to use it. Simply remember that it’s primary function will likely provide the most utility. In any other category you are not getting the full benefits the ring can provide.

How Do You Get An Ares Ring Modified

As with other rings of this family the Ares Ring Modified is only available in Strongboxes. It can not be looted or crafted. The good news is that it has been reported to drop from a variety of Strongboxes. It has been discovered in the Classified Strongboxes that you can get in the Webshop. You actually buy the key to open them and the Classified Strongboxes are included free of charge.

It has also been reported to drop from Easter Strongboxes, Summer Strongboxes, Halloween Strongboxes and Christmas Strongboxes. These event strongboxes are only available during the corresponding Mayhem event and must be looted or purchased from another player.

This ring will have a lower drop rate than the Ares Ring Improved. That means you may be better off buying it from another player or from the auction. It’s not cheap but it’s a great investment for serious players! Not only will it save you time it may help you earn PED!

Now Available For Rent

We manage one of the only rental services in Entropia. The Ares Ring Modified is now available for rent! This means you can save PED if you only need it for a short time and don’t want to purchase it outright! Be sure and check out our Ninja Rentals Program for more information!

Divine Intervention Chip: Living On A Prayer

Posted on May 26, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:59 pm

The Divine Intervention Chip is a rare Mindforce chip. It is only available through the Mission Galactica Mission Chain. Since this is a popular Mindforce chip with unique capabilities let’s take a moment to understand what it does. Let’s take a look and see what secrets we can uncover!

Divine Intervention Is Not Healing

First we need to understand that the Divine Intervention Chip is not a healing device. It is often categorized as a FAP and that is completely incorrect. This chip does use the Biotropic profession and falls into the Biotropic category. But this Mindforce chip has unique qualities that don’t fit nicely into the normal item categories. Let’s take a look at what this Mindforce chip does then we can move on to it’s stats.

Divine Intervention Chip Functionality

The in game item description says: “This chip provides the effect of Divine Intervention, it has a 70% chance to save you from an otherwise fatal blow.” While this is informative it does not tell us everything we need to know.

To better understand the Divine Intervention Chip let’s look at an example. First you would use the chip. This would provide your avatar with the Divine Intervention buff for the next hour. Second something has to happen that has a chance of killing you. When you receive damage the Divine Intervention buff looks at your available HP. If your available HP is less than the damage you are about to take it means that the blow could result in death. If this is the case the Divine Intervention buff kicks in and one of three things happen.

Playing The Odds

The first is that the 30% chance of the Divine Intervention buff not working, nothing happens, you die. Alternatively there is a 70% chance that the Divine Intervention buff will work. If this is the case then you will immediately be healed by 50 HP. This will be added to your available HP. If your available HP plus the 50 HP you receive from the Divine Intervention buff is less than the damage you take you will live. In this case you will see a message that says: “System: You were saved by Divine Intervention”.

However there is a chance that the buff will work and you will still die. The reason is that it’s possible for your available HP plus the 50 HP your receive from the buff to still be less than the damage you take. If this is the case you will still die even though you received the 50 HP from the Divine Intervention Buff.

Keep It Simple Stupid

To simply all of this you use the Divine Intervention Chip once an hour to activate the Divine Intervention buff. During that time if you take damage capable of killing you there is a 30% chance nothing happens and you die. But there is a 70% chance that you will be healed 50 HP. If you are healed by the buff and the damage is still more than you can survive you still die. Alternatively the 50 HP you receive from the buff may be more than the damage is capable of and you may live to see the saved by Divine Intervention message.

Divine Intervention Chip Basic Stats

The Divine Intervention Chip is a level 3 Mindforce Chip with a weight of 1 kg. It has a heal rate of 50 HP which is the same as the start interval and the effective heal amount. This chip has a range of 12 meters and is capable of 8 uses per minute giving it a reload speed of 7.5 seconds. Using these figures we can see that the heal per second is calculated at 6.67 HP but in reality it either awards you 50 HP in a moment or it doesn’t. Heal per second should not be a quoted metric as this chip does not function the same way a FAP would.

Maximum TT value for this chip is 150 PED and the Minimum TT value before needing repair is 4.5 PED. The decay rate is 1.5 PEC per use meaning there are 9,701 uses before the chip will need to be repaired. In order to use the Divine Intervention Chip you will need to use the proper Ammo type which is Mind Essence. The chip uses 300 Mind Essence per use bringing the total costs per use to 4.5 PEC.

Calculating the heal per PEC we get 11.11 HP but again this number should not be quoted. There is no guarantee you take a hit capable of killing you. A 30% chance that the buff would not work anyway. This means that this metric simply should not be applied to this item.

In order to use this chip you must concentrate for 2.2 seconds. This chip is in cooldown group 2 with a cool down period of 5 seconds. This is a non-SIB item. It is recommended for use when your Biotropic Profession level is 4 or higher.

Now Available For Rent

The Divine Intervention Chip is only available through the Mission Galactica Mission Chain. The majority of players do not have the ability or the bankroll to get far enough through the chain to try and obtain this chip naturally. Now you don’t have to!

You can now get access to the Divine Intervention Chip through our Ninja Rental Program! This is a great opportunity! Many players have always wanted to have access to this cool chip! A lot just didn’t have the skills, bankroll or patience for Mission Galactica. Save PED with our Ninja Rental Program!

Mindforce In Entropia Universe: A Beginners Guide

Posted on May 26, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:59 pm

Mindforce is a unique element of Entropia Universe. There can be so many other things for you to learn about it may have taken a back seat to things like hunting, mining and crafting. Our goal today is to introduce you to Mindforce and give you a basic understanding of how it functions and different ways you can utilize it to up your game.

What Is Mindforce

Mindforce is the Entropia version of magic. At the heart of it that is the easiest way to understand it. If you look at the official story line statements Entropia scientist learned how to unlock the power of the mind and boost those powers in such as way as to manifest interesting results. Magic is just a simpler definition.

Basics Of Using Mindforce

In order to start using Mindforce you will need to get several items and take several steps. First you will need to go to the Trade Terminal and purchase a Payn-Inc Implant Inserter for 15 PED. Next you will need to get a NeoPsion Implant. Now you can put the implant into your head with the inserter. With your implant in place you are almost ready to start using Mindforce!

Now you need to determine which type of Mindforce chip you want to use. It may be one you previously looted or you may decide to purchase one either from auction or from another player. Once you’ve settled on the chip that’s right for you make sure you have the appropriate type of Mind Essence. And you’re good to go!

What Is Mind Essence

Mind Essence is like ammo for Mindforce chips. There are three different types of mind essence: Synthetic Mind Essence, Light Mind Essence and Mind Essence. You can get Synthetic Mind Essence from the Trade Terminal. The others are a combination of items which must be mixed in a refiner. Different chips use different types of Mind Essence so double check that you’re getting the type the chip you want to use requires.

NeoPsion Implants

Before you can use a Mindforce Chip you have to use the inserter to implant your NeoPsion Implant. This implant is what allows you to use the chips. Different implants allow you to use different levels of chips. A level 10 implant will allow you to use chips level 10 or less. If you have a level 20 implant it will let you use chips level 20 or less.

Some implants are also capable of absorbing some of the decay from a chip. These can come in handy when you are using high markup limited Mindforce chips. Keep in mind that both the implant and the chip will experience decay. This is important when you are trying to calculate your over all cost of using a chip.

Types of Mindforce Chips

There are several different types of Mindforce chips. You simply have to pick the type that is right for you. Again be sure and double check that the chip you want to use can be handled by the implant you want to use. So what types of Mindforce chips are there?

Biotropic: Health and healing related functions
Cryogenic: Allows you to attack with freezing type attacks
Electro Kinetic: Allows you to attack with the power of electric attacks
Pyro Kinetic: Allows you to attack with the powers or fire, combustion and corrosion
Jammer: Defense against incoming Mindforce attacks you could be hit with
Telepathy: Helps improve concentration when using Mindforce
Translocation: Allows you to teleport or transverse great distances in a single moment

Other Important Information

Sweating is technically part of the Mindforce system. This makes sense since Diluted Sweat and Vibrant Sweat are used to make Light Mind Essence and Mind Essence respectively. The difference is that you gather sweat with the VSE Mk. 1 Sweat Tool and do not need a NeoPsion implant or chip.

You may notice that as you gather sweat you will slowly increase your concentration skills. This is important later on because you will need a good amount of concentration skills to properly use Mindforce chips. After all, concentration is a function of the mind and that is where Mindforce originates.

We hope that you now have a very basic understanding of Mindforce, the different ways it can be used and what you need to do to get started. It’s a great part of the game and something that any long term Entropia player will want to get familiar with. Now that we have a solid foundation we can look at Mindforce in more detail in future articles.

Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved

Posted on May 26, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:59 pm

The Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved is a legendary FAP in Entropia Universe. This Uber rare FAP is both extremely rare and incredibly expensive. While the vast majority of players think they will never have access to one we have a rare opportunity in store for you! Before we make our big reveal let’s take a moment to look at this rare FAP and see what secrets it has waiting for us to discover!

Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved Basic Stats

The Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved has a weight of just 3 kg. It provides heal per use of an incredible 120 HP each time you use it! The effective heal is the same as the heal per use of 120 HP. This FAP is capable of 29 uses per minute with a starting heal interval of 20 HP. It’s reload speed of 2.07 seconds results in a heal rate of 58 HP per second. With a Maximum TT value of 280 PED and a Minimum TT 8.40 PED there are a total of 13,581 use between repairs.

This incredible decay rate of only 2 PEC means that you can do extremely long runs between repairs. The cost per use is the same as the decay rate at 2.000 PEC per use as the only cost of using the item is the decay incurred. This also means that this FAP provides 60 HP of health per PEC. Impressive stats no matter how you look at it!

Other Important Information:

While this is an Unlimited item that does not have a Skill Increase Bonus (or SIB) you can use it properly at lower levels. The Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved maxes at only Paramedic Profession Level 20.85. This means that players with only an average amount of experience are capable of using this amazing tool to it’s full capacity.

This is an EXTREMELY rare item. It can not be crafted and can only be found in extremely rare Loot. It has been reported to have most recently dropped from a Kretlin on Crystal Palace during EU Version 15.18.1. Prior to this it had not been reported to have dropped since EU Version 6.0. This is a very popular and highly sought after item. It has always been extremely rare to loot. When it is looted it is usually major news. It is unlikely that it has been looted and not reported.

Secrets Of An Uber FAP:

Enhanced Capabilities

It’s easy to see from it’s basic stats why this FAP is so highly sought after. It delivers a massive amount of health per use. The super low decay rate and cost per use make it both economical and practical. The high Maximum TT rate and the low decay rate make it perfect for extremely extended healing marathons. If I ever go on a hunt where we somehow use one FAP 13,581 times someone please make me take a break from the game.

So what is it about the Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved that isn’t immediately obvious? As with most items you can manipulate the overall capabilities by using an item like the Ares Ring, Improved or the Ares Ring, Modified. This would allow you to greatly decrease the reload speed increasing the number of uses per minute this FAP is capable of. Doing so could easily make this FAP usable on some of the most dangerous Mobs in EU. Anyone want to go hunt some Mulciber?

The Perfect Pair

Another hidden secret of the Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved is that there is a weapon that pairs pretty well with it. And it’s another legendary item! The A-3 Justifier Mk. 2, Improved. One of the rarest weapons in Entropia and highly sought after by any serious player. This ultra rare laser rifle has a jaw dropping 90.4% efficiency. The reason it pairs so well with the Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved? The A-3 Justifier Mk. 2, Improved is capable of an astounding 380,393 uses between repairs!

If you were equipped with both this FAP and that gun you could get lost in the wilderness of the most remote regions in the Entropia Universe and you wouldn’t need a repair terminal for a VERY long time. Few people will ever attempt such a journey but having both of these legendary items would at least make it possible. Although I will admit I don’t know how you would manage to carry all that loot!

The Obvious Conclusion

The real desirability of the Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved is obvious from the start. It is super powerful, extremely eco and very rare. The reason it’s rare is because of just how powerful and economical it is. Given this FAP’s basic stats it’s no wonder why it has been so hard to find and has dropped so rarely.

Now Available For Rent

Until now it has been a FAP that most players could only dream of. We told you we had a big reveal and this is it! Drum roll please! The Omegaton Fast Aid Pack, Improved is now available for rent through our Ninja Rental Program!

We are extremely excited to be able to provide access to such a rare item. Even in the world of Uber rare items this FAP is extremely hard to find! We know first hand how hard it can be to justify spending 50,000 – 100,000 PED on something like a FAP. Now you don’t have to! Just check out our Ninja Rental Program for details on collateral requirements and rental rates.

FAP Basics: Healing In Entropia Universe

Posted on May 26, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:59 pm

Healing is going to be an important part of your journey through the Entropia Universe. Let’s take a moment to go over some of the basics of this game mechanic. We can build on this later in more detail. There’s more to healing than most people realize so we need a good foundational understanding before we get to the advanced stuff. Grab your favorite FAP and let’s get started!

FAP

When you hear players talk about healing they use the term FAP or FAPing. Most players just run with it but it actually stands for something. Fast Aid Pack. Some players will use the real world term First Aid Pack. The in game term is more accurate.

A real world First Aid Pack is what you use when someone has been seriously injured. If you have to use it paramedics are likely on the way. Usually it’s a life threatening situation. This is slightly different than the in game use. In game we simply need a tool capable of healing our minor injury on the fly.

This means the more appropriate term for in game healing devices is Fast Aid Pack. They are quick to heal you so you can keep moving along. If you have an in game situation where it’s a life threatening injury from a single blow you would need something capable of saving your life. You would need Divine Intervention.

FAP Vs FAPing

When a player is referring to a healing tool they will call it a FAP. When they refer to using the tool they will call it FAPing. This is an important distinction. All healing devices can be considered a FAP. Some will have the term in the items name. Others will not.

FAPing on the other hand is the use of the tool to provide regenerated health. You could be using the tool on your own avatar or you could be using it to heal someone else. The easiest way to think of it is a FAP is an item so the term is a noun in proper english. FAPing is the action of using the tool and is a verb in proper English.

Healing Yourself

When you are hunting you will regularly take damage. Take too much damage and you will die and then have to revive yourself. Once you’ve revived you will likely not be in the same spot you died. Most of the time you will be some distance away which can make dying while hunting very costly and annoying.

Having the ability to heal yourself with a FAP avoids this. If you are taking damage and it seems you could be killed you will want to do a few things to insure your survival. First you will open your item inventory and find the FAP you wish to use. Next you will equip the FAP. Lastly you will use it to provide regenerated health. Now you can switch back to your weapon of choice and continue your hunt.

The Price Of Healthy Living

Each time you use a FAP you will be spending PED. That cost will be in the form of decay. While there may be some rare exceptions most FAP’s only cost to use is decay cost. This is one reason you want to be sure you hunt within your skill range.

If you are constantly stopping to FAP you are spending a ton of money. If you have the right weapon, you’re hunting a mob in your skill range and you have the right armor you should not have to stop mid kill to heal. When you have to stop mid kill to FAP the mob is still dealing damage forcing you to spend even more PED before you can resume your attack. This is a good sign you are hunting something you are not yet ready to take on.

Famous FAP’s

Like most things in Entropia there is a wide variety of FAP’s. Some of them are cheap and not worth using. Others are unimaginably expensive and rare. Like with most things you will have to have different skills at different levels to be able to properly use different FAP’s.

There are some famous FAP’s that we will take a look at in the coming weeks. These healing devices are often capable of many dozens of uses per minute. Some of them are capable of creating a mouth dropping amount of health per use. Others are simply super eco with very little cost to use.

For now what we really want you to understand is that a FAP is a device capable of helping to heal your avatar. FAPing is the active use of a FAP to regenerate an avatars health. FAP’s come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. They are an overlooked but basic game mechanic you will become more familiar with as you play.

EWE EP-38 Night Special: A Level 100 Weapon

Posted on May 23, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:58 pm

The EWE EP-38 Night Special was one of the first weapons I ever purchased. It was a huge mistake. One that a lot of newer players make. There’s a reason I’ve kept it but let’s take a look at this weapon and see what I did wrong. Avoiding the mistakes I made can save you some serious PED.

Basic Stats

The EWE EP-38 Night Special is an Unlimited Laser Pistol. This means it can be repaired and used over and over. It has a range of 24.2 meters, weighs 1.6 kg and has a DPS of 31.9. The weapon deals 58 HP of damage comprised of 5 HP penetration and 53 HP Burn. It’s capable of 33 attacks per minute giving it a reload speed of 1.8 seconds.

This weapon burns 800 ammo per shot while decaying 6.1 PEC per shot. With a Maximum TT value of 96 PED and a minimum TT value of 2.88 PED this pistol does 2.854 HP of damage per PEC. The total uses between repairs is 1,527 and it has an efficiency of 55.5% which is considered average. Note minimum TT is not a metric that should be quoted now.

Other Information

Since the EWE EP-38 Night Special is a laser pistol it uses either Weapon Cells or Universal Ammo. It can be equipped with energy amps to increase it’s damage output. This weapon does not have a Skill Increase Bonus, or SIB, and is maxed at profession level 100 Ranged Laser (Dmg) and Laser Pistoleer (Hit).

The EWE EP-38 Night Special is only known to be available if it is found in loot. You can not craft this weapon. It has not been reported to drop recently which means it either drops rarely or drops have not been reported but may happen.

Why The EWE EP-38 Night Special Was A Mistake For Me

Looking through all the information you may be able to spot why I shouldn’t have purchased the EWE EP-38 Night Special. Did you see it? Yup! It’s a weapon that maxes at profession level 100! Like most of the older Unlimited weapons this pistol is no exception. If you are not level 100 you are not going to be able to use it to it’s full capacity.

That mean’s you are going to do fewer attacks per minute than the weapon is capable of. You won’t be able to do the full amount of damage the gun could inflict. Worst of all, you’re using a weapon whose efficiency is average but with which your efficiency is poor. This means missed hits and wasted ammo.

Does this mean the EWE EP-38 Night Special is a bad weapon? Not at all. What it means is that it was a bad weapon for me to purchase when I did not have the proper skills to use it. This is a fact that is true of all weapons in Entropia Universe. I wrote an article about being sure you know if you have the skills to use a weapon. This is something I feel will save a lot of players a lot of money. It’s also something I wish I had when I first started playing Entropia.

Why I Still Have The EWE EP-38 Night Special

Why did I keep this gun knowing I can’t currently use it? Because someday I will be able to. I will eventually reach level 100 in the professions needed to use this pistol. When I do there will be times when it may be the superior weapon. I simply purchased the right gun at the wrong time. This is something that I see happen a lot and I hope you can learn from my mistake. There is a tool for every job. There is also a proper time to use that tool and an improper time when you should use a different tool.

Now Available For Rent

The EWE EP-38 Night Special is now available for rent through our Ninja Rental Program! If you have the skills to use this gun but only need it for a short time then our rental program may be the perfect opportunity for you!

Armor Plating Mk. 6A: Perfect Drone Protection Part 2

Posted on May 23, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:58 pm

Earlier today we looked at a set of Vigilante Armor. This armor is considered almost perfect for hunting Drones. But we don’t want almost perfect. If you are going to be the best there ever was you have to have nothing less than perfect. That’s where the Armor Plating Mk. 6A comes into play!

What Is Armor Plating?

Armor plates can be added to any set of armor to increase the protection provided. Different plates provide different protections. This comes in handy if you have armor that protects well from a certain mob but maybe not perfectly. Today we will look specifically at the Armor Plating Mk. 6A. This particular armor plate pairs well with Vigilante Armor for almost perfect protection from Drones.

Armor Plate Mk. 6A

When we look at this particular plate we can see that it has a weight of 0.4 kg. It provides 11 HP of protection from Penetration attacks and 12 HP of penetration from Burn attacks for a total of 23 HP of protection. This plate has a durability of 1400 and the Maximum TT value is 25 PED.

This is a crafted item It is crafted from the Armor Plating Mk. 6A Blueprint. You can often find these for sale on auction or from other players in private trades. A complete set is considered 7 units. You can only equip one plate per armor piece. Since the average armor is a 7 piece set it makes sense that you would need 7 plates.

Why Players Love This Plate

While the item details are not impressive or something that needs in depth analyzation this is a popular plate. The reason for this is how well it pairs with the Vigilante Armor set. There are other sets that it can be used on. Technically it can be used on any armor set. If you have armor that doesn’t protect from Penetration and Burn then this may very well be the plate you want to use.

This plate also has the ability to be upgraded to an Adjusted version through a mission chain and combining different items. We will likely explore this mission and the Adjusted version in a future post. For now the thing we want you to keep in mind is that the Armor Plate Mk. 6A provides just the right protection to pair almost perfectly with the Vigilante Armor set making it the perfect defense against Drone attacks.

Now Available For Rent

Buying a complete set of plates can be expensive. Especially when you have to purchase the armor to go with it. Now we have a full set of Armor Plate Mk. 6A available for rent through our Ninja Rental Program! We also have a male UL Vigilante Armor Set for rent that will pair with it perfectly.

Vigilante Armor: Perfect Drone Protection Part 1

Vigilante Armor is the perfect set to protect you from Drones! Today we will take a look at this cool set and the protection it provides. We will also see if we can discover some secrets that may help us later on! Be sure and check out Part 2 later today to pair this set with the perfect plates. Together they’ll make you a Drone hunting BEAST!

Vigilante Armor Stats

The Vigilante Armor set is a standard 7 piece set. This set consists of Helmet, Harness, Arm Guards, Gloves, Thigh Guards, Shin Guards and Foot guards. You can take a look at each piece below. Notice that the set we are looking at is the Unlimited version which can be repaired. This set is also available in a Limited version but there’s a VERY important reason we went with Unlimited we will get to shortly.

The Vigilante Armor set provides the following protections:

Stab 14 HP
Cut 14 HP
Impact 7 HP
Penetration 14 HP
Burn 14 HP

This means that the total protection provided is 63 HP. In addition this set has a Full TT value of 211.80 PED and a Durability of 2550. You can see this information clearly on each of the sets Show Detailed Information item page as shown below.

Why The Popularity

This particular armor set is in high demand for two very good reasons. The first is that it is virtually perfect for hunting Drones. Second is that this armor set can be upgraded. There are missions you can do that will allow you to create an Adjusted set. The Adjusted set can in turn be turned into a Modified set.

These upgrades have some very helpful defense buffs which increase your Dodge. As dodge is usually the lower of a players two primary defense professions this is extremely valuable. These upgrades also help to decrease critical damage that you take while wearing the set. Anytime a set has the ability to be upgraded it’s going to be more popular than usual. When that set is almost perfect for a certain mob it’s also likely to be in high demand.

Vigilante Armor Vs Drones

Vigilante Armor + 6a Plates is the ideal armor set up for hunting Drones. If you are hunting mobs that do ranged Burn and Penetration damage then Vigilante equipped with 6a Plates is ideal in the vast majority of circumstances. This is why it’s highly recommended by most higher level players and one of the reasons the set is so sought after.

Using the upgrade missions to obtain an additional dodge buff also helps in this situation. Not all items in Entropia Universe were designed with a specific purpose in mind. In this case I really do think this set and the plates that you will want to use with it were specifically designed to help mid to high level players hunt some of the higher end drones and other types or robots you will encounter.

Rarity

This set is only available by looting individual pieces. Due to this there can be a shortage in the market because the mobs that you would need to hunt to loot this armor are not the more popular mobs people like to hunt. In addition there has been a lack of recent drop reports. This leads us to conclude that it has likely been a while since this set has been looted. It could be that there have been drops that were not reported. This is probably the more likely case but the drops that have happened have likely been relatively few.

In addition since the set is popular people try and form complete sets. This can be frustrating. Especially when it comes to the foot guards. When completing a set the foot guards can be especially hard to find and will often trade at a slight premium.

Now Available For Rent

If you are wanting to take on some Drones or other mobs and need a Vigilante Armor set but don’t want to purchase it out right? We now have a complete Male UL set available for rent through our Ninja Rental Program! Don’t forget to also rent 6a Plates!. Also be sure to check out some of our rare weapon rentals and rings to round out your perfect Drone smashing set up!

Armor In Entropia Universe: The Basics

Posted on May 23, 2019 by admin

This post was last updated on June 19th, 2022 at 03:57 pm

Armor is imperative to your survival in Entropia Universe. There have been a lot of changes and there is a lot of research ongoing. Today we are just going to look at the basics of using. Once we have a solid foundation to build we can look at specific sets. We will also look at things such as research, plates, decay and more in future articles. For now let’s get started learning the basics!

What Is Armor?

Armor is anything that protects you from attacking mobs or players when in PvP areas. Most of the time you will have a set of armor. It will look like something you would expect to protect you. This is different from other clothes. Clothes are fashionable and can help you express yourself but provide no protection.

What Types Of Armor Are There?

As with most things in Entropia Armor comes in two flavors: Limited and Unlimited. Limited eventually wears out and has to be thrown away. Unlimited can be repaired and used over and over again. In this sense it’s similar to other L or UL items in game.

There is however one very large difference. UL armor will slowly provide less protection as it decays. Once repaired it goes back to it’s full protective capabilities and the process starts over. With Limited armor the protection is the same from the time you get it until the time you have to throw it away. The TT value decays until it can no longer be used but the protective capacity never lessens. This can be very important when deciding which is right for your situation.

In addition to the standard protective suite you’re picturing there are also Armor Plates which can equipped to add more protection. This is again beyond the scope of this article but keep in mind that they do exist and can be helpful when you need even more protection. We will talk about plates more in the coming week. For now let’s look at what makes a complete armor suite.

The Pieces Of A Set

While there are exceptions most armor sets contain 7 pieces. This means that your typical set will contain a helmet, harness, arm guards, gloves, thigh guards, shin guards and foot guards. This is very self explanatory as each piece protects a different part of your body.

You do not have to have a complete matching set. You can take the foot guards from one set, the harness from another. It would look a little weird and would be an expensive way to protect yourself but it could be done.

Armor comes in Male and Female versions. If you have a Male avatar you must use Male. Females must use female. A long time ago male armor was more expensive so many players started over with female avatars. This cost gap has started to close in recent years so you don’t have to worry about starting over with a new avatar.

Armor Can Be A Horrible Waste Of PED

I see people waste more PED on armor than I can count. Sometimes all I can do is shake my head. If you’re out hunting then you may need the added protection. But this isn’t always how it’s used. Especially by newer players.

If you are Sweating you definitely do not want to be wearing armor. The same is true if you are Farming Defense Skills At Zychion Citadel. You only want to wear armor when you actively need the protection it provides. That does not mean you need it the first few week you hunt Punys. Every time you take damage from a mob or a player in PvP your armor will decay. This means that each hit is costing you money. Even if it’s a small amount every PEC counts.

All Is Not Equal

Each set protects from different types of attacks. Each part of a set will have the same attack protections but those protections will vary from set to set. In future articles we will look at various sets and see which protections they offer. We will also look at which armor is ideal to use against a particular mob.

This is why armor plates are important. You may have armor that protects against Impact attacks only. If you’re hunting a mob that does both Impact and Cut attacks you may need to add Cut plates. We will go into more depth on this issue as we look at the various sets that are available.

We will also explain how new players can get a FREE set or armor early on that provides decent protection. For now you should have a basic understanding of what Armor is in Entropia Universe that we can build on later.
