Sweating in Entropia
How to start gathering Vibrant Sweat for free PED, skills, and survival
Sweating is one of the few truly free activities in Entropia Universe. It allows new players to earn PED (Project Entropia Dollars) without depositing, while learning key gameplay mechanics, social dynamics, and survival skills. This guide will take you through every step of becoming an effective sweater — from tools and locations to skill gains and sweat trading.
What Is Sweating?
Sweating is the process of extracting a resource called Vibrant Sweat from living creatures using a special tool called the VSE Mk 1. It costs nothing to do, requires no ammunition or gear, and builds useful starter skills over time. Vibrant Sweat is a tradable resource used mainly in Mindforce and some crafting blueprints.
What You Need to Start
The Tool: VSE Mk 1
To sweat, you’ll need the VSE Mk 1, a special sweat-extraction tool.
- This tool is free and never breaks.
- Most new players receive one as part of the beginner’s tutorial or initial missions.
- If you lose yours, you can get a replacement from:
- The Trade Terminal (TT) under the “Tools” category
- Starter NPCs near revival terminals (such as at Camp Icarus or Port Atlantis)
- Other players (but it’s better to get a free one)
You don’t need skills to start sweating, but you’ll improve as you go, gaining in skills like Sweat Gatherer, Concentration, and Combat Reflexes.
How to Sweat
- Equip the VSE Mk 1 from your Inventory (press “I” and go to the ‘Tools’ tab).
- Right click and equip or double click on the tool.
- Target a creature by right-clicking it or using your action key.
- Start sweating by clicking the creature or activating the tool via your keyboard action bar.
- Your avatar will enter a “concentration” state.
- If successful, you will extract Vibrant Sweat and receive a system message.
Creatures may attack during the process. When sweating alone, be ready to run or revive. In groups (known as sweat circles), players take turns distracting the mob, healing, or extracting sweat.
TIP: To add the tool to your action keys go to Action in the top menu, edit your actions, find the tool in your inventory and drop it to the decired slot in the key-bar.
Sweating has a failure rate. You won’t always succeed. But you gain skills every time you try, and the more you sweat, the more efficient you become.
Where to Sweat
Here are some safe and popular places for newcomers:
- Swamp Camp: East of Port Atlantis. A traditional spot for sweat circles with low-aggression creatures like Daikiba and Combibo. South: [Calypso, 29353, 35515, 259, Waypoint] – North: [Calypso, 61964, 76187, 139, Waypoint]
- Camp Icarus: North of the revive terminal. Often full of new players and low-level mobs like Berycleds. [Calypso, 63220, 74370, 131, Waypoint]
- Nea’s Place: Popular for sweating more advanced mobs (like Ambulimax) in a group. Best for experienced sweaters. [Calypso, 29353, 35515, 259, Waypoint]
- Royal Club: A popular place where a large amount of people meet up to sweat all day long. [Calypso, 30843, 40282, 144, Waypoint]
- Boreas: Newcomers often go there to sweat. [Calypso, 74368, 67336, 141, Waypoint]
Other Planets
- Next Island: Ancient Greece region (Chiron Stable) has low-level mobs and many sweaters.
- Arkadia: Relentless Firebase Academy and Dauntless Firebase have good sweating zones.
- ROCKtropia: Some tame areas with zombies and wolves that are good for sweating.
Choose areas with
- Other sweaters – safety in numbers
- Revival terminals nearby
- Turrets (auto-kill mobs if you’re in danger)
What is Sweat Used For?
Sweat is used mainly in
- Mindforce Implants – Combining sweat with Mind Essence to use powers like healing, teleportation, or attacks.
- Crafting – Some blueprints require sweat to produce materials.
- Trading – Most players sell sweat to others for PED. Prices fluctuate but generally hover around 1.2 to 2 PED per 1,000 sweat (as of 2025).
- Events and Missions – Occasionally, missions or events require sweat donations or trades.
How to Sell Sweat
- Trade with other players in towns like Camp Icarus, Port Atlantis, or Twin Peaks.
- Use advertisements in the Trade chat (right click on the tab for ‘Main’ in the chat window. Create a new tab and name it ‘Trade’. Right click on the tab and chose Trade in the list – remove all other clicks. Now you have a trade window.)
- Join a sweating Discord or forum group to find buyers.
- Some buyers look for large stacks (5,000–10,000 sweat), so patience and consistency help.
Tip: Never sell to scammers offering “tools” or “gifts” in return for your sweat. Always use the secure trade window. Never drop items on the ground.
Suggested Gear for Sweating
While sweating is free, here are some optional upgrades
- Healing Tool: The Vivo T1 (available from the Trade Terminal) helps you heal after a mob hits you.
- Armor: Not necessary early on, but Pixie or Adjusted Musca can help if you get tired of reviving.
- Refiner: Once you collect other resources, a refiner will be useful but not needed for sweating alone.
Tips to Get the Most Out of Sweating
- Join sweat circles to survive longer and chat with others.
- Watch for free healers in public areas – they keep sweaters alive.
- Consider combining sweating with hunting when you’re ready. Some mobs are good for both.
- If you’re in a mentorship program, ask your mentor to join you or help sell your sweat.
- Be patient – sweating is slow but steady.
- Keep your sweat until you have at least 1,000 units.
Skill Gains from Sweating
Sweating may seem slow, but you build up skills that are useful across the game.
- Sweat Gatherer: Boosts your extraction efficiency.
- Concentration: Important for Mindforce and avoiding interruptions.
- Evade: Helps you dodge attacks.
- Combat Reflexes & Alertness: Passive skills helpful in general gameplay.
These foundational skills will serve you well when you transition into other professions like hunting, healing, or Mindforce use.
Final Thoughts
Sweating is more than a starting profession – it’s a gateway into Entropia’s community, economy, and survival systems. It teaches discipline, endurance, and teamwork, while building skills that stay with you throughout your journey.
Be patient, be smart, and most of all – have fun. Your adventure has only just begun.
