Post #20! Gaining Momentum

Hey all!

This is the 20th Post here at Calypso Profit and I'm here to tell you that I'm finally feeling some momentum within PC and I think if I can maintain a steady pace profit will not be too far off. Although I've recently spent a good chunk of my PED I've acquired a good deal of sweat and loot that I'm waiting to sell. I'm gonna continue to swunt (sweat hunt) and try to gain more experience and loot along the way.

Guide to Sweating for Beginners

Starting out in Planet Calypso is very difficult so I figured this quick little guide would help those looking to really start cranking out that sweat.

Guide to Sweating for Beginners

So, you've finished creating your character and you've been teleported to Port Atlantis. Now what?? That question is one that many Planet Calypso players ask themselves shortly after making it inside the game. New players only start off with a beaten up jumpsuit and the free tool used to collect sweat within the game. From here you have two options, either A. deposit some money into the Planet Calypso universe or B. decide to take the challenging route and earn without depositing anything.

Now if you decide to deposit make sure you spend your money wisely. Mining can be a good investment but it can also be a way to blow a ton of PED in a short amount of time. I recommend if you do deposit to be very conservative with how you spend and focus on a couple specific areas (hunting, sweating, crafting, etc).

For those who aren't depositing

Most people decide to try to wing it and see how hard it is to make PED within Planet Calypso. In fact it is very difficult, especially at the beginning, to accumulate PED seeing as the only ways to make money without spending money are to gather sweat from creatures or finding stones, dung, and fruit on the ground.

I recommend that you take your only tool, the sweat gathering one, and head towards the North West of Port Atlantis (the city where they start you off). Right on the outskirts of town there are very low level mobs (L1+L2). I recommend that you spend most of your time trying to gather sweat from these low level creatures since they will damage you less than the others that exist throughout the in game world.

Heres the proper way to sweat:

First, equip the free sweating tool.

Second, go to the outskirts of Port Atlantis and find some low level mobs

Third, right click on the mob and click on the status bar, this will pop the status bar out so you can move it wherever and be able to click it at all times (its a lot harder to try to keep clicking the mob, especially since they move a ton).

Fourth, with the tool equipped click the status bar until you see a green flash that focuses on the mob, if your concentration holds you will earn some sweat.

Fifth, when you completely drain a mob, run back to a turret or the entrance of town and it will shoot down the mob, allowing you to turn around and find another mob.

The thing about sweating, especially as a beginner is: You ARE going to die a LOT. This sounds horrible but taking hits against enemies actually builds up many skills on your character. The more times you die the more skills you earn which in the end help you die a lot less. It's important to spend a lot of time acquiring these skills from dying because eventually you can sell your built up skills by putting them on an implant and selling that implant at the auction house. This will take a lot of time but as you watch your skills increase think about how in the future you could potentially tap into these skills for other purposes (PED).

When you first start sweating you will notice that you will barely get any sweat units and that it takes quite a while to drain the mobs (low level mobs all have 10 units of sweat in them). As you gain more and more skills relating to sweat gathering, (Evade, sweat gatherer, athletics, courage, etc). You will progressively be able to sweat quicker and not die as much.

For beginners, this is the best place to start. It might also be a good idea to look around for a society that fits your interest because sometimes they can be extremely helpful.

Remember, most importantly wait until you have 1000 units of sweat to sell because otherwise there is a good chance you will get ripped off.

New Rank in Sweat Gathering

Woot woot! I finally made it to L3 Rank Sweat Gatherer (Beginner). It took a while but I've been spending a lot of time sweating on the north west outskirts of Port Atlantis. There are a lot of lower level mobs that hang out there who do not damage you like other mobs around do. I also gained points in psyche on this trip which I'm not exactly sure what it does.

Anyways here are my updated stats.

The Mission Continues

Hey all,

I've been slowly chipping away at my goal recently and managed to up some skills somewhat quickly. Hopefully, my skills such as evade, sweat gatherer, and atheltics continue to improve because these skills will directly help me in my goal of gathering as much sweating as possible.

Anyways, here are the most recent stats:

Sweat Gatherer: 312

Back in the Swing of Things

Hey all,

It's been a while since I posted last and I figured I would let you all know I am still going at it. I've had a little bit of trouble getting Planet Calypso to load but lately it has been loading normally again. I ended up spending a bit of my money over the past few weeks on a new blade that I've been using while sweating on the western side of Port Atlantis. This has helped me gain a bit of loot money although my repairs are costing me quite a bit. Its a bit hard to earn cash while sweating but I've found the L1 mobs tend to be unable to kill me before I can drain them of sweat. Hopefully the L2 Mobs will be next! Here's my stats updates

PED: 16.10
LWT 295
Sweat Gatherer: 305
Anatomy: 298

The Quest Continues

Hey all!

So my quest continues! I've been spending a lot of time sweating recently and have gained a considerable amount of PED through last time's sales of sweat and items. I've made some decent amount of progress although I do remain only 2% towards my ultimate goal of 1000 PED in order to withdraw. Anyways, I will continue forward in an attempt to make a profit on Planet Calypso!
