Good to know. Just bad luck I guess. I kind of prefer not spawning with anything crazy because it really puts the pressure on. If I spawn with some kind of armor, its not so bad, but scavs seem to never spawn with any armor at all and just die to a soft breeze.

I would agree with you. Done at least 30 scav runs without seeing a single key card.

Finally hit level 20 and it feels like the game opened up. Got level 2 on the mechanic which opened up a ton of things in the hideout. Whoever said the quests weren't gated right was spot on. Some seem way too difficult early on. Then I got like 3 levels just by doing gunsmith quests and other poo poo you can buy off the flea market. Just starting to get where they want me to shoot 3 guys with a slingshot from 1000m away and I doubt I'll do them.

What do you guys do with your Euros? Everything on the flea market is stupidly overpriced, there's nothing good to use from the dealers, and anything you can buy isn't worth poo poo to resell or would sit for a month.

You're literally giving them free advertising. There is no justification for spreading their YouTube videos and features around and letting people know how much it costs to use them. Your lovely post is indistinguishable from an interstitial ad. Discussing hacks is one thing but running marketing for the hackers is despicable.

Advertising to who? The people in this thread who payed for the game who presumably don't want it ruined by hackers and cheaters?

Good lord it's a youtube video you big crybaby. No one is "running marketing for them". Watch it, don't watch it, I don't give a poo poo. But when a hack is going to potentially ruin the game with crazy poo poo I think people would be curious how it even works. That doesn't mean people want to use it or would use it if only they knew how to get it but they can't figure out that pesky internet...

I've got about 17mil and a good assortment of poo poo in my stash. Honestly I don't feel a great desire to do a lot knowing there is a wipe coming in X months, and probably more in the next X years until this thing is done. It feels like a lot of what I'm doing is pointless.

Right now I have the dredges of quests. All the most difficult ones. I even have the factory one from like, level 2, where you get something in Customs and take it to Factory. If you die on Factory, you have to go back to Customs. So i've been avoiding doing the quest for a very long time.

I have that same quest too and have been avoiding it. I already have the case from customs but I know the second I load up factory I'll get shot immediately since most of the spawns are within 10 feet of another spawn and I'll have to start all over.

what's the return on the SICC and RR? I feel like it's 3-3.5 mil to buy the items you need for the RR and then it sells for 6 mil with a 2 mil tax.... so half a mil profit? is that all?

RR definitely not worth it, the tax is almost 50%. Going rate is about 6.5mil right now, tax is 3.2mil. SICC after tax you can get a little over 300k profit depending on your patience on the market.

Edit: 70k scav box, that worked out well:

I swear to god this loving game. Been trying to do this gilded zippo poo poo for a couple of days. Keep getting killed close to the trailer. Then I finally get to the trailer and realize I have the wrong key because there's two loving keys labeled cabin key. Then I get the right key, random scav headshots me from nowhere right next to the trailer. Then I get to the trailer, get in, and am holding the button and of course a random rear end pmc decides this would be a great time to come in this random trailer. I kill him. Then another loving pmc comes by. The one time I get in there and am ready to finish the thing two people decide this is the hot spot of the map. I shoot enough to scare him off and try to get my hold down until I have 5 seconds left and the moron killed me and himself with a grenade.

Got it done first try today but can doubly confirmed it's cursed. Got the zippo with no problem, got all the way around to the cabin. Never see a single scav or pmc, and only heard very distant gunfire. As soon as I get in and start the countdown I hear a scav voice outside really close. I stick with the timer and get it finsihed, look out, and three scavs are all right outside looking straight towards me. Manage to kill one but one of the other two got me. Quest completed but definitely some bullshit.

I really want to finish my quests but gently caress me is the "if you don't survive, you lose it" design behind almost all of them sucks poo poo. I figured I was safe because the quest didn't say anything about making it out alive, just to find the item, but I guess that doesn't matter. I'm torn between wanting all the quests done for access to everything and the Kappa container vs dealing with the frustration.

I like the ones that want you to do a thing, then survive and exit, but you don't have to do them together. So I can plant a thing or mark a thing and die, come back another time and run straight through, THEN I'm done. poo poo doesn't make any sense.

But don’t rush dorms for a quest and then be surprised it’s an absolute shitshow. Dorms is the Pochinki of EFT. It owns and is fun as hell, but it’s almost always a mess.

I've actually had good luck rushing dorms for quests. Especially the room 203/303 ones. I can get up that staircase, go in and unlock the door, get my quest item and out of the building in like 10 seconds. Getting away and out to extract is always trickier.

I much prefer big firefight deaths over getting sniped from a silenced bush 200 yards away anyway.

Let me know if it was worth it. Been thinking about upgrading my 2-year old PC. This and some dumb card games are like the only games I play, but when this game looks good, it really looks good and I might be interested in making it look that good.

Edit: has anyone gotten anything good off the Intelligence Folder scav runs? It's the longest run time of scav runs and I usually do Moonshine, but the first time I did it I get a yellow labs keycard, a USEC customs key and about 100k of other stuff, so at this point, it's been my best run with the scav junkbox. But since then, I haven't gotten much else. If I get a yellow labs keycard, I should theoretically be able to get a red labs keycard too, right?

My moonshine runs haven't been going well and I wanted to try something else. I'm curious what other people think is the best scav run option from the hideout.

I don't know if anyone has a complete list of whats possible at each tier. Or maybe the list is the same for all tiers your chances of rare loot are just higher with higher cost. Probably the former. Either way I had poo poo luck with the folders, but I run way more 70k and moonshine. Overall I'm up but it's due to a couple of really lucky runs on 70k.

I've just started watching Pestily. I like him because he's pretty laid back and doesn't sit and complain about the game or how people play it. DrLupo is enjoyable in small doses. It's crazy how some of them scav in with a mosin pistol and walk out with 2mil worth of gear. It's almost depressing knowing I'll never be that good.

You can probably get away with data-mining but once it goes beyond that your playing with fire.

I heard that using the api to just data-mine the flea market for display purposes only, not buying/selling bot, could get you banned. But maybe they're just more touchy about the market.

Speaking of, my favorite thing is to find a full fuel canister for like 4k because new people don't know any better. Also amused at people that either intentionally or accidentally list them empty for insanely high prices knowing they're just going to come back to them unsold.

I love the flea market but people are so drat dumb. The number of empty fuel canisters people are trying to sell for x0,000 is hilarious. If people are too dumb to check the fuel level they're just going to buy one of the 2k priced ones. Then you see what I'm assuming is a type for like 500k and they leave it up. It's always a joy when you find a newbie that doesn't know any better and lists a full one for 5k.
