Hunting Advisor
What to hunt, what to wear, what weapon to use — matched to your level. Based on DPP efficiency, mob damage types, loot MU, and codex progression.
DPP — Damage Per PEC
How much damage you deal per 0.01 PED spent (ammo + decay). Higher = more efficient. Aim for 2.9+ as baseline.
SIB — Skill Increase Bonus
Weapons in your "learning range" give bonus skill gains. Always use SIB weapons while leveling.
Hit/Dmg — 10/10
Max your weapon's Hit Ability and Damage to 10/10 before upgrading. Below 10 = wasting ammo on misses.
Armor Matching
Match armor to mob damage types. Don't stack armor + plates on the same type — that's double decay for same protection.
MU Loot — The Real Profit
TT returns are below 100%. Profit comes from selling loot at Markup. Hunt mobs that drop high-MU items.
Codex — Free Skills
Auto-tracked kill missions. Pick Stamina at Meta ranks (every 5). Pick Perception/Anatomy for Looter profession.
Progression by Level
Level 0 – 15
⚔️ Recommended Weapons
Zero ammo cost, maximizes eco. Great for Puny–Young mobs.
TT purchase. The classic starter. Max your hit/dmg before moving on.
Cheap L drops. Very eco for low levels.
👾 Best Mobs to Hunt
Very low HP, fast kills. Perfect starter mob. Iron mission available.
Codex: Yes – aim for Rank 5 meta for Stamina
Good loot pool for beginners. Low damage output.
Codex: Yes
Found near starting areas. Very manageable.
Codex: Yes
Arkadia staple. Non-aggro, cheap kills. Found near every settlement.
Codex: Yes — cheapest Arkadia codex mob
Ultra-cheap Arkadia starter. Great for first codex completions.
Codex: Yes — fast rank 5
🛡️ Armor Recommendation
At this level, armor decay often costs more than just healing. Go naked or use free starter gear.
💡 Tips for This Tier
- Focus on maxing Hit Ability and Damage to 10/10 on your weapon before upgrading
- Do NOT use amplifiers yet — they waste PED at low skills
- Complete beginner missions at Icarus/Cove for free supplies
- On Arkadia: do IFN Welcome Chain immediately for free gear and skills
- Pick Stamina at every Meta Codex reward (every 5 ranks)
Level 15 – 30
⚔️ Recommended Weapons
Classic SIB weapon. Stay in learning range for maximum skill gain.
TT plasma pistol. Good eco, builds Plasma Weaponry Technology.

🛡️ Armor Recommendation
Goblin (L) is cheap and covers most low-mob damage types. Pixie is the classic budget UL set. Match plates to mob damage type.
💡 Tips for This Tier
- Start matching armor to mob damage types — check wiki for mob stats
- Don't stack armor + plates on the same damage type (double decay)
- Consider hunting mobs with high MU loot (Welding Wire, Animal Hide)
- On Arkadia: triple-dip with IFN mission + daily Insignia + Codex on Oratan mobs
- At Codex rewards: Perception, Anatomy, and Stamina (meta) are top picks
Level 30 – 50

🛡️ Armor Recommendation
At this level, proper damage-type matching matters. Use EntropiaWiki to check mob damage profiles and equip accordingly.
💡 Tips for This Tier
- You can now consider small amplifiers matched to your weapon
- Focus on mobs with high-MU loot to offset the increasing costs
- Start tracking returns seriously — use Log Tracker or Loot Nanny

🛡️ Armor Recommendation
At endgame, armor optimization per mob is critical. The cost difference between right and wrong armor is massive.
💡 Tips for This Tier
- Weapon efficiency and loot composition become more important than raw DPP
- Team hunting can be more efficient for very high HP mobs
- Consider crafting ammo if you have the BPs and skills
- Arkadia Aakas Keys 7-10 are excellent endgame content — scale from 5200-6050 HP bosses
- Meta codex Stamina rewards become increasingly important for HP
