Entropia Universe: Cyrene's Basic Blueprints You Will Need Have A Bug Worth It's Weight In Gold!
71https://earnped.com caught up with StevieB in the metaverse playing the real cash economy MMORPG Entropia Universe.
Today we are on Planet Cyrene and we want to get started crafting! First things first; we need to get the basic blueprints available from the Cyrene Blueprint Terminal.
We are in luck because the Cyrene Blueprint Terminal has a bug worth it's weight in gold! This is NOT an exploit but a bug that both Mindark and the Cyrene Dev team know about! That means we are absolutely free to use this to our advantage! Wondering how to make PED on Cyrene? Taking advantage of this bug is a great way to start!
Looking at the Cyrene Blueprint Terminal we see what we would expect to see: basic unlimited blueprints we can purchase for 1 PEC that have a QR, or Quality Rating, of 1.
But as you go through collecting these blueprints you may notice something....some give the option to purchase more than 9 copies. In fact some will allow you to purchase 100 copies! And if you do purchase 100 copies for a total of 1 PED what do you get? AN UNLIMITED BLUEPRINT WITH A QUALITY RATING OF 100!
That's right! A quality rating of 100 right off the bat on an unlimited blueprint! It can take 250,000+ crafting attempts to get to a QR 100 and the blueprints QR can account for up to 15% of the TT amount you get returned to you! This bug is a HUGE PED saver!
Also keep in mind that a lot of these blueprints have high mark up inputs that are needed for each and ever crafting attempt. That means we don't just get 15% more TT return; we are saving a mountain of PED on those high MU inputs!
One thing we should point out is that the dev team has taken steps to be sure these blueprints can't be sold on auction to dupe other players. If you look in the top left hand corner you will see a number just like you would on a stack of Limited blueprints. This means if you try and auction the blueprints off the auction will treat them as a Limited blueprint for auction purposes which should stop, or at least vastly reduce, the chances of these blueprints being bought and resold in any significant quantity.
This is great because it allows us to take advantage of this bug and have better TT returns and save PED on high mark up inputs while also protecting the community and people browsing the auction for blueprints who may not know about the bug.
If we go to a crafting terminal and compare my old blueprint to my new one that has the bug we can see I indeed have MUCH better TT returns with the new blueprint!
We will be using a lot of these blueprints for our daily crafting missions and in order to collect ARC Faction Badges so this is a glitch that will help us save a lot of PED and since PED is a virtual currency we can turn into real world cash that is a VERY valuable glitch!
The question is what impact will this have long term? There are some players who think someday this glitch will get fixed and the blueprints will be split up. They want to go ahead and grind the QR of a single QR 1 blueprint in case this happens so that if they are correct they still have a higher than normal QR blueprint. You may feel this way also but I don't think there's any reason to be this risk averse; here's why:
I don't think they will fix this glitch. If they do it won't be anytime soon. And IF they ever do fix this glitch then what will most likely happen is the blueprints will get split but there is a VERY good chance one of the blueprints would retain all of the accumulated QR upgrades.
What I mean by that is should they ever split your single QR 100 BP into 100 individual blueprints there is a VERY high chance you would end up with 99 QR 1 blueprints and a single Blueprint with a QR greater than 1 but less than 100 as if you had been grinding a normal blueprint the entire time. Given how the system records information I believe this information is actually there; we just can't see it. Any attempt to fix this glitch would likely make that information visible meaning we would accomplish the same thing but we save a ton of money in the process taking advantage of the bug while we can.
Now there is a chance I could be wrong on this last part but it really doesn't matter. The amount of money we can save by taking advantage of this bug and using a QR 100 BP right now FAR outweighs any downside risk we would have from a potential glitch fix later on.
If you want to grind a single QR 1 BP that's your choice but personally I'm going to save a ton of PED and take full advantage of my new QR 100 blueprints!
Keep in mind that there is one blueprint that will allow you to buy millions of copies which does NOT take advantage of this bug. That's because the blueprint for the CBR 107 is a LIMITED blueprint and this bug only affects UNLIMITED blueprints.
Crafting in Entropia Universe just got a lot more fun and a whole lot cheaper!
