  1. Done my second Zeta Gate today, it was a disapointment didnt get my second Havoc. What do you guys think i should do?

    -More Zetas
    -Other gates
    -Something else
     
  2. if you are basic full elite so everything from trade you have (iris, lf3 and bo2) keep going for zetas.

    Its a bit depressing because it may take lots of zetas to finally get your full havocs but once you have them, you will realize that the zeta gate has been helping you get lf4s (if you're lucky with keys) and also with your skill tree because of the log disks it gives
     
  3. Will do thanks for advice.
     
  4. It's not really worth it unless you can go all the way.
     
  5. Actually, depends where you stand.
    If you are FE with 26 or so Pilot points, you might as well move on to get Hercs or something.
    If you are a guy with few LF3s and flax, and barely any Pilot points, Zeta is definitely worth
     
  6. Except if you're a guy with a few LF3s, flax and few PP then I doubt you'll actually be able to do the Devourer Waves. You'd need to be at least OSFE with kami or so to start, in which case it's usually fairly pointless doing zeta unless you're getting all the havocs as well - since Kappa is far better at that point anyway.
     
  7. There are people on my server that don't even have all their LF2s, and all flax, but they can do it sepped. It's pretty easy, all of the NPCs in Zeta have low damage output. Plus, some of them were smart enough to get moth xD
     
  8. I was doing zetas easily even before I was full elite (fe [31 bo2s, 31 lf3s, 8 irises) and unsepped. The gate is fairly easy - every gate is easy so long you know how to circle some npcs. I did 22 zetas for 10 havocs that isn't a whole lot of zetas and getting about 50k uri (49k something) in addition to 50 pp and 25 keys - getting that just 22 times is 1.1mil uri, 1.1k log disks, 550 keys. The keys got me at I believe 3-5 lf4s a free apis and most of my zeus. I did NOT bring my apis or zeus out until I had enough havocs to fully equip the next drone.

    So long as you can spin you can do the gate with ease. If you take damage and drop pretty low on hp then just use a speed config (or anything faster then the npcs) run away rep your configs (but most importantly your Hull or hp since if you lose your hp you lose a life and possibly the gate). I did the gate in a full dmg fig and a speed + shield fig. I did usually use x2 or x3 that I accumulated while spinning for the gate (made all the spins with pally) to speed up the gates.

    *My configuration I used for the gate.
    Full dmg = 15 bo2s, 15 lasers and full lasers on drones
    Speed+ Shield = 15 speed gens, 15 lasers, full bo2s on drones

    *Added to really assist the thread*
    I didn't really contribute at all to the main point of the thread, so added a bit.

    It's really up to you if you want to finish your havocs, or go for kappas (hercs/lf4s) and whatnot. If you didn't know and I feel most don't know full lf4s actually does more damage than if you had full havocs. Kappa is a good gate to get creds from it gives decent uri but terrible for logs and keys - if you want to improve your bio do zeta since it gives plenty of uri/ logs/ keys.

    I agree, continue with zetas and save the keys for zeus booty only. Double chance of lf4 is still next to nothing but you can only get zeus parts from zeus booty and will get apis parts too.
