Melee May
I decided to dedicate the month of May to improving my melee skills.
Why, you ask?
Well, two reasons… both of which I feel new and experienced players alike should consider.
Physical Education
It’s always a good idea to get out and exercise a little bit, as a good cardio-vascular workout promotes increased health and overall fitness. To learn more about how melee skilling can increase health (total hitpoints), please check out the following threads on EntropiaForum:

Got GOAL?!?
Every month, I think it is a good idea to set realistic, obtainable goals for different activities within Entropia. As this universe can be whatever you choose to be, it is good to have a “purpose”, something you want to achieve.
Like crafting? Set a goal to bring your current item BP up to 100 QR (Quality Rating).
Like mining? Set a goal to mine a certain amount of a specific resource.
Like hunting? Set a goal to skill a certain weapon, or hunt a specific mob.
What I do NOT recommend is setting “profit” goals within the game, as the “MA Variable” of loot may very well prevent you from achieving that goal. If you really want to attempt a profit, maybe observe market trends of various items in auction and give trading a try.
Watch out in June, because I may very well be seen with <gasp> a laser weapons in my hand.
Be sure to get a screenshot of this rare occurrence if you see me.

Actually, I will color orange, blue, yellow, steel blue, olive, and green for free. I seem to have about a 98% success rate with 150 cans per field. With orange, blue, and yellow I seem to have about a 70-80% success rate with as few as 50 cans.
