Entropia Universe New Player Tutorial: Chapter 1 - Part 2

Part 2: Camp Amundsen

Go inside and speak with Lauren to receive your next mission. You will be rewarded with Athletics skill in the process.

She will teach you how to use the Trade Terminal (TT), a machine that allows you buy and sell items to and from the game. You will be given a single Hide to sell.

To sell the hide (or any other items in the game) double click the Trade Terminal

Click the “Sell” tab at the top of the new window, and drag the Hide over from your inventory.

Then click the “Sell” button in the lower-right corner of the window, and “Okay” when the confirmation window appears.

After selling the Hide, you’ll need to purchase 100 units of Synthetic Mind Essence from the TT. Click the “Buy” tab, select “Ammunition,” and then “Synthetic Mind Essence.” Change the purchase quantity to 100, and click the “Buy” button to confirm the purchase.

Then speak with Lauren again, and she will request the Synthetic Mind Essence. You must physically drag it into the window that appears to give it to her. The item is located in your inventory, under the “Mindforce” tab, at the bottom of your inventory tabs.

Drag it into the window and accept the transfer.

After relinquishing the item, take a few steps away and you will receive another alert from Yoshida. Follow the road further into the valley to locate a supply pod.

Run to the waypoint on your map and click the crate to retrieve mining equipment.

The mining equipment includes a 0.10 PED Genesis Star Rookie Finder (L), 0.60 PED in Survey Probes, a 0.10 PED Genesis Star Rookie Extractor (L), and 0.10 PED in Universal Ammo.

You will then be required to equip the Genesis Star Rookie Finder (L), which you can find in your inventory, under the “Tools” tab.

Refrain from using your Survey Probes. The mining system allows Universal Ammo to be expended as an alternative, so run back to Camp Amundsen and sell the Survey Probes to the TT, banking the 0.60 PED.

NOTE: If you ever get lost or stuck, you can press “T” to be teleported back to the nearest Revival Point. In this instance, you should revive at the camp.

Once your Survey Probes are sold, it is time to start mining. This mission requires you to make three survey attempts. There are three mining options available to you at the moment; you can mine for energy matter, ore, or both simultaneously. Select to mine for only energy matter, as this option is the least expensive, and conserving PED is important.

Chances are you might not find anything with the survey attempt. There is no guarantee to receive items when mining, or doing any activity in this game (sometimes creatures can provide ‘no loots’ as well).

However any failed attempts will still count towards the mission. Chances are you won’t find much as the area will likely have been cleaned out by the other new players. We will want some distance from our last probe drop as well to increase the chance of finding resources. Try to run about 15 seconds in a straight line away from where you last dropped your probe to try for the next drop. I ran back to where I found the probes to do the 2nd drop.

Then ran a little farther away up the hill for the 3rd drop.

If you do find something, a marker will appear. Run up to it and use your Genesis Star Rookie Extractor (L) to mine up the items. Equip the tool and use it on the probe.

After completing your third and final survey attempt, and extracting any discovered claims, go to Scott’s Ridge, another nearby outpost, to continue progressing through the mission chain.

NOTE: It is a good idea to unequip items (such as your new finder) when not using them. This guards against wasteful, accidental use.
