Just a few questions. Ive finally got of starter island and wondering a few things.

1)I have mele up to level 43. All the starter mobs are too low now but when i try to find something harder I get beat up by gingos and kipees. Is there a guide or map or something that is useful? Im in pyr

2)It seems to me that anything other than light armor is useless. Medium to heavy has more penalties but the armor it gives you noly reduces damage by a few points. Why would anyone wear anything other than light armor?

3)just wondering the difference between Accelerated harmful and harmful extraction. I have both and it seems accelrated is actually worse than the regular. I have accelerated 20 and harmful 20 but accelerated gives me lower quality and about the same amount of mats.

[QUOTE=skel1977]Just a few questions. Ive finally got of starter island and wondering a few things.

1/ try a somewhat higher yubo

2/ ha absorbes lots more dmg then la, light absorbs (maybe patch changed it a bit) 7% with the patch now ha can absorb till 60%

3/accelerated allows u to pull more mats (maybe not at ql20) i dont remember though try always to set up ur extractiong (credit) gentle quality, harmfull rate and gentle speed

Yours sincerely

walk out the south entrance of pyr, walk southwest along the road until you reach the canyon cliff, then veer off the road and walk to the west, always keeping on the south side of the plains along the south side of pyr, but not walking up on the hills. when you reach another road, cross it, walk up the hill and go north, over the crossing and follow the road further north. there you should find sprightly yubos which you can poke

Can't really help you with what or where to hunt. But it kind of sounds like you need new armor and/or weapons... Or more HP.
Just because your melee is level 43 that doesn't mean that you are fighting at that level. For all we know your HP is only 100... Hard to tell.

Heck! You may even need to improve your melee stanzas.

2)It seems to me that anything other than light armor is useless. Medium to heavy has more penalties but the armor it gives you noly reduces damage by a few points. Why would anyone wear anything other than light armor?

Heavy Armor offers better resistance to damage then Light Armor, but crafting/harvesting/magic cost more and have higher chances of failure.

If you are not noticing any difference between Light and Heavy Armor you are either looking at a very crappy set of Heavy Armor, or you are not reading the correct numbers.

3)just wondering the difference between Accelerated harmful and harmful extraction. I have both and it seems accelrated is actually worse than the regular. I have accelerated 20 and harmful 20 but accelerated gives me lower quality and about the same amount of mats.

To harvest materials you need an extraction stanza with at least 5 plans:

- Extraction Plan: Tells the system that what you are about to do is extract material from a raw source
- Speed Plan: Tells the system how fast you you extract
- Rate Plan: Tells the system what quantity you are looking to extract
- Quality Plan: Tells the system what quality you are looking to extract
- Extraction Contepart: How much Focus the stanza is going to cost

Then the middle 3 plans come in 2 basic flavors: Gentle and Harmful.
Gentle is always going to extract less mats then harmul... The mats are going to be of less quality as well. The main think is that with the gentle version the chances of the source to survive or explote are less then if you use harmful. The gentle versions also cost more to cast.

The 2 options that you mention are 2 basic "pre-fabricated" stanzas!

- The "Accelerated Extraction 20" is a regular "Extraction 20" but with a higher "speed plan"... Probably is the "harmful speed" as well.

- The "Harmful Extraction 20" is a regular "Extraction 20" but with the "Harmful Quality level 20".

What you need to do is combine those 2 basic stanzas into one. That is:

- Extraction Plan
- Accelerated Speed
- Higher Rate <--- Probably need to get that one.
- Harmful Extraction
- And probably a total cost of around 13 Focus Points.

Now... I don't recomend you use that one unless you are teaming with another player that uses "ground care", otherwise you are going to be blowing up sources left and right.

Generally what I do is combine the "highest gentle version" of Speed/Rate/Quality when I solo (That way I don't have to Care Plan that often), and then use the "highest harmful version" when I'm with another person running Care Planning (Stability and Preservetion stanzas)...
