After reading a seperate thread by someone else somewhere else I have decided to start over in EU and put only my working knowlege and current skills out there to try to stay afloat. As I go along I will post various stumbling blocks that I come across in the beginning and post various pieces of advice here that I think can help some of the newcomers around here get a better grip in the game without having to quit due to losses.
As we all know many of us start by sweating. While many newcomers may not know this, there is a new sweat camp near Port Atlantis. Camp Phoenix no longer works because of the turret right next to the tp, and another major sweat spot is at Fort Troy on the southern tip of Eudoria. The main sweat town though has become the Amathera tp called Nea's Place. Many newcomers may have difficulty getting here though, and later on this month if things go the way I see them going, I will be making some runs(probably 3) from the Treasure Island TP all the way through the country side to Nea's Place to hopefully help out the sweat gathering process for all of you.
Another suggestion I have to newcomers is to take off all that shiny new armor you have bought or looted. When you sweat your goal is to gain cash, yet if you take hits and you are wearing armor you may come to town very happy with your load of sweat but realize that half of that load has to go to repairing the damage your armor has sustained. Finally, since newcomers are often strapped for cash you should instead of buying a fap-5 off the bat, instead stick in groups of 3-4 and sweat very weak mobs so that your natural hp regeneration can outheal the mobs that are attacking you. Remember it is cheaper to die while sweating than to try to heal just to get 6 more sweat!
Finally I would like to suggest to the average newcomer that you should be aware of armor scams. Your armor cannot be upgraded without buying a whole new piece and anyone asking to upgrade your armor for a small number of peds is lying to you! Do not fall for this!
