AfterWorld Survival Forum

Hi guys, I`m back after a very short visit in alpha some years ago, entropia player aswell, I had a look on the forum for the last days, I`m happy to meet such a nice comunity
now the questions:
1.the steel pick I crafted during the tutorial has 3 repairs left, however when I try to repair I`m asked for repair units.. I couldn`t find any refference to repair units so far, any hints?
2.every1 here says newcomers don`t have to use clones when reviving, well, actually it`s different, I`ve got 100 clones (for free), and every time I revive I spend 1 clone.. my questions are: is it better to save the clones for later, since they are free? I`ll be able to use them later, in other areas? or should I just use them to speed up the ore picking process?
3.are they any auction fees?
oh and.. accepting decent AWD offers/ orders for ores, delivery time 12-24 hours, since some of them are a pain in the arse to collect
thank you
Roberto

ty for the slang tip
also I just saw my Citizenship: Regular citizen.. wich explains why I`m using clones.. fortunately I only used like 5 sofar, I still have 95
now 1 more question: since I`m a citizen why i don`t get any skills when picking ores around NU?

Many of us recommend reading over the Survival First Steps walk-through on the wiki whenever someone is new or is coming back for the first time in a long time. It should answer your original questions with more detail.

The Steel Pick and Steel Axe that you crafted during the tutorial have NE after them, which stands for Newcomer Edition. That means that they work as fast and as well as regular steel tools but don't give any skills or SAU during use.

To get skills and SAU you'll want to craft a Steel Pick from the terminals in NU or buy/trade with another player for one (or more). Just make sure that if you buy/trade for one that the other player isn't giving you another NE tool. ;-)

if you want to check out Hunters Unlimited we have some new players we are teaching the ways of the afterworld.  Anyone u see in game with Hunters Unlimited or Alpha Unlimited (corp) can contact us.

I'd like to note that although you aren't getting any sau/skills from the NE pick, you are getting resources for free, so thats a few awd you can earn by selling the stones/pnotes (since you mentioned non-depo). There are many non-depo players around, so just keep asking around for tips. welcome

from what I can see whenever i'm running around and see people

active/semi-active socs -
Hunters Unlimited/ Alpha Unlimited
Pleasure and Power
French Conquerors? French Mafia
Irken Invaders
Highlanders
World Trade Federation?
might be a few more

but it's about 10 or less socs that have members actively online. many players also freelance (no soc)

hmmmm

hehe sry

my list is only as active as I am and in the locations I am at
Allfather

Good point about the utility of the NE tools. Nothing like free profit! 8-)

You might want to ask people if they would be willing to trade their Christmas/New Year's picks too. Though they also give no skills and SAU, they are 100% effective.

dale, I couldn`t find any HU soc members around NU :/.. any other way I could apply for your soc?

been a very quiet week in AW for some reason.  The only way to apply is in person so we need to find each other.  The weekend will probably find some more people and I will run through a few times.
