+ | |||
+ | - You echew the multikill masteries and focus directly on mining masteries. This just about slows all outlined plans in he following guides to 3x the duration needed, but you will have good income. Pick an ore type and buy the base ore, purity and double ore mining lasers in order. Also, level up Prospector first when the companion hits the level cap. | ||
+ | - You choose to wait until mining level 100, pick Flat Orthoclase, then Flat Anorthite | ||
+ | - You mix and match the above 2 options and wait until your core multikill masteries are done, while picking the flat Ortho laser. Then, at lvl 80, you choose an ore to specialize, then pick the ore specific | ||
+ | |||
+ | My personal recommendation is the 2nd option. I'm a player that pushes hard on games to achieve critical objectives asap rather than to idle on while also optimizing your passive income by just a bit more. If you want a more relaxed time, pick the 3rd option. | ||

It's recommended to buy a level 3 experience injector if you don't have one (corp incursion runs will give you some good amounts if you join a good team in a lvl 3 or 4 incursion) and use it after saving 8 runs (4 days worth).

The jump from killing monsters in Wastelands and in Abyss is extremely high: you might not even kill a single Mammoth Bat when you were able to kill 5 Warped Tormenters (the last monster in Wasteland). They are that hard to kill. The solution is T3 gear. At this point, your goal should be to __get T3 equipment and upgrade them until you can kill 2 bats__. 4 fully upgraded T3 equipment will be enough. The reason for this goal is another goal: __Unlocking the Death of Darkness dungeon, the 2nd dungeon__. The daily mission that gives 1 run of this dungeon is also unlocked with the same //The Finished Map// quest. | The jump from killing monsters in Wastelands and in Abyss is extremely high: you might not even kill a single Mammoth Bat when you were able to kill 5 Warped Tormenters (the last monster in Wasteland).

+ | So far, we have ignored a new addition that is quickly shaking the market completely and pushing Elethor into an age of scarcity: the production of Platinum. At this stage, only produce 1 Plat per day and no more: the scaling costs are not something we cannot afford yet. For the same reason, don't level up Recyclobot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As we start max killing higher levels of monsters and can clear the 2nd dungeon, we will start making a good amount of monster drops and gold, and we are strong enough to stop pushing for gear for now. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Every plat you make should go towards upgrading the level of your companions. We definitely don't have the funds to go after the companion abilities; they are also very weak for now, as their max level can only be the current level of your companions. This is the reason we will increase the level cap of the companions: we can upgrade the abilities later, but our companions weren' | ||

+ | |||
+ | Until you have leveled all your companions past level 25, don't spend plat on any ability whatsoever, no matter how tempting it is. The levels on companions are more valuable. | ||
