How to Make Money in Entropia Universe

Entropia Universe is a massively multiplayer game that takes place on the planet Calypso. There are several ways a player can make money or PED (Project Entropia Dollars) in this online game.
Sweating Creatures
Sweating creatures is perhaps one of the more bizarre ways I have seen to make money in a game. Unless you deposit money into this game it is the only way for a new player to make any PED in the game. Sweating is a slow process so at the beginning you need to be patient. You may die multiple times to creatures since you are low level. Stay in the starting city or go to the sweat camp. Ask a player where it is and they will show you. Most new players end up there. You can sweat the creatures with many players and lessen the chance of getting killed by a creature. If you try sweating alone you will get frustrated because your character will keep dying. Sweating is very easy just point at a creature and hit the sweating button. Your character will go into a trance and you can sweat after a few seconds. If a creature hits you during this time you will need to start the process over again. Keep sweating until you have several hundred or thousand vials of sweat. You can sell this sweat to players for PED and be sure to shop around for the best deal for your efforts. You cannot sell sweat on the marketplace so you will need to find a player willing to buy the sweat vials.
Hunting
Once you have some PED from sweating you can buy a weapon and some ammunition. Stay around the sweating camp because your character is still very weak. As you kill the low level creatures around the camp you will periodically loot items. You can sell these items to players, on the marketplace or through the trade terminal. Check with other players to see what you should keep, sell, or sell to the trade terminal. During your hunting you may loot low level armor or a weapon that your character can use if you are at the proper level for the equipment. Take your loot into town and try and find a buyer. It is recommended that you sell to players so you don't have to pay the marketplace fee for listing items. Check all your prices so you get the most for your items.
Crafting/Mining
Crafting and mining are other ways to make money but you will need a lot of skills and PED to get started. These professions are not recommended for new players unless you plan to deposit real money into the game and play that way. You will burn through a lot of money gaining skills in these professions.
Guild or Mentor
If you join a guild or get a mentor (player helper) you may be able to make some money as a new player. Some guilds may give you a small amount of PED to join and some low level equipment. A good mentor may give you some cash as well if you are lucky.
Sweating creatures is the easiest way to make free money without any spending any in this game. Once you sweat for a while you can go into hunting and then crafting or mining for resources. Join a guild as a new player may help too.
