Boxing or Killing?

What would be better to earn uri? Boxing in pvps (It's safe 99% of the time) or farming npcs? And if npc's which ones? Thanks.

 

boxing does not give the uri it used to. Here is my basic free player menu:
1: Pali for gate spins and ammo
2: Use ammo , sab, 2x ,3x form gate spins on cubes or bk's if you cant solo a cube
3: use credits from npc in auction to get bo2 and lf3
4: repeat
if I had it to do all over I would start with kappa gates to get lf4's and hercules drone designs before i went for the havocs

 

Don't bother boxing if you don't have at least bonus box doubler

 

It depends on your equipment, and how many friends you have a lot of times. I normally play alone so I work on the quests. I need to work on gates; that uri would solve my Skill Tree completion. I personally hate boxing but a lot of players do it and will tell you there is no substitution for it.

 

Both since one is boring beyond comparison but pays uri better and that is boxing.
But taking an npc just within your range is a lot of fun, but pays so little in uri. Where in a pvp map u can pick up a box with 150 uri and most big npcs pay 64 uri at least in the lowers.

I do both i always pick up a box at might just 200 credits or 100 uri.....
It's a game where u decide to spend a lot of time to advance a bit or open your wallet and advance quickly.

Either way is a lot of fun!
p.s. don't mind being killed it's free except my drones don't like dying but heck repairing is cheap.

cubing i don't know nor pali
good luck

 

boxing is good when You have doubler and pet collector3 + radar protocols, im getting ~10k uridium every hour and ~70gg spins

 

I have a pet with auto looter 3 and some radars, and Bio set up for boxing...but no doubler, and no salvage proticals, and I still do a little better boxing than with pali

Without Pet or bio its a no brainer, pali is better

 

Hello ~Monster~

Thank you all for assisting with this thread.

Boxing can give good amount of uridium if you have box doubler, Radar protocols (level3), Auto looter gear (level3), pilot bio skills like Tractor Beam I & II and Luck I & II.

Detailed explanation:
Maximum Radar protocol (Level 3) is only good for collecting palladium but for boxing you would need only 3 or 4 Radar protocol (Level 3) and rest Salvage protocols.

Salvage protocols: Increases bonus box loot by 3%.
Luck I & II: 12% increase from bonus box contents.
Tractor Beam II: 20% increase from bonus box contents.

So if you have 9 salvage you would get 27% total boost and 3 Radar protocol (Level 3) to increase the range of your P.E.T and also your P.E.T should be active all the time on Auto-looter mode.

If you are going with 37 boxing bio with Luck I & II:

Skill	PP
Ship Hull I	2
Logistics	2
Luck I	2
Shield Engineering	5
Evasive Maneuvers I	2
Ship Hull II	3
Shield Mechanics	5
Tractor Beam II	5
Bounty Hunter I	2
Bounty Hunter II	3
Evasive Maneuvers II	3
Luck II	3
Total	37

With this bio and P.E.T set-up you will get:
150 uridum in battle maps with Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam II = 512 uridium (If pet collects)
150
5 gg spins (If pet collects)
4 gg spins (If ship collects)

Alternate way:
Firstly if you want to get maximum amount of gate spins in battle maps from bonus boxes and also have your pvp bio retained, you would need only Tractor Beam II skills no need to put points in Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam I.
Boxing & PVP bio 37 pp:

Skill	PP
Ship Hull I	2
Ship Hull II	3
Engineering	1
Shield Mechanics	5
Tractor Beam II	5
Shield Engineering	5
Bounty Hunter I	2
Bounty Hunter II	3
Evasive Maneuvers I	2
Evasive Maneuvers II	3
Rocket Fusion	3
Electro-Optics	3
Total	37

Note:
You should have all level 3 protocols (radar and salvage). Minimum 9 salvage and 3 radar protocol along with box doubler and auto-looter in order to get 5gg spins if your P.E.T picks up the bonus box and 4 gg spins if your ship picks up the bonus box.

Tractor Beam I: This skills increases your cargo loot and won't affect bonus boxes, so its not wise to put points in this skill.
Luck I & Luck II: This skill is good and in total it gives 12% increase on bonus box contents but the actual difference having this 2 skills and only having Tractor Beam II is negligible, Refer to example below:

Example:
A) 150 uridum in battle maps with Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam II = 512 uridium (If pet collects)
B) 150 uridum in battle maps with Tractor Beam II = 457 uridium (If pet collects)

Total Difference: A-B = 55 uridium.
The boxing bio is only good for pilots who have box-doubler and P.E.T related stuffs and in the end it all depends on your choice what bio you want to go for, so all the best with that.

With Tractor Beam II: The calculation have been done only on basis of Tractor Beam II & Box doubler.
150 uridum (b-maps) = 360 uridium
100 uridum (regular maps) = 240 uridium
1 gg spins (regular maps)= 2 gg spins
1.5 gg spins (b-maps)= 4 gg spins

Without box doubler: Note the calculation have been done on basis of Tractor Beam II only.
150 uridum (b-maps) = 180 uridium
100 uridum (regular maps) = 120 uridium
1 gg spins = 1 gg spins
1.5 gg spins (b-maps)= 2 gg spins

Tractor Beam II = 20% increase from bonus box content

Note: The chances of getting GG spins on hourly basis may vary.

If you want to make uridium killing NPC's then I would suggest you to go for cubikons either solo or in outfit or kristallon.

Do you (the original poster) have any further questions or can we close?
