Dailies: Monria

Three repeatables on DSEC-9 worth running, one that looks good and loses money, and the crafting daily back on Monria. Waypoints included.

7 min readBy BixReviewed 21 Aug

First, get to DSEC-9

Almost everything below is in DSEC-9, which is not another planet. It is an instance inside Monria, and you reach it through a teleporter rather than a ship.

  1. Step 1

    Go to any teleporter except the Monria Hub one

    The Hub teleporter is the one you arrive on, and it is the one that cannot reach DSEC-9. Every other teleporter on the moon can.

  2. Step 2

    Change Monria to DSEC-9 in the drop-down

    It sits below the fold. Scroll the thin bar on the right or you will not see it.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the DSEC-9 teleporter

    You arrive next to most of what follows.

Larches Green
/wp [DSEC9, 38123, 23647, 100, Larches Green]

The teleporter everything below sits within a few minutes of. Grab it first.

The three runs worth doing

Do them in any order. The waypoints below paste straight into chat.

DSEC-9

Cultists in Training

Pays1 PED

Do this
Kill 100 low-level Cultists, levels 4 and 5
Waypoint
/wp [DSEC9, 38241, 23206, 110, Cultists in Training]

Shoot the level 4s. They have 20 health against the level 5s' 30 and count exactly the same, so you spend a third less ammo for the same reward.

DSEC-9

Clear The Path

from the Old Man

Pays2 PED

Do this
Kill 80 Zokaraneus, 20 Shogghols and 60 Tegunstene, all Hatchlings
Again in
21 hours
Waypoint
/wp [DSEC9, 37490, 23899, 108, Clear The Path]

The first time you finish it, the Old Man also hands over a rifle, a FAP and mining gear. Every run after that is the ammo alone.

DSEC-9

I'm Just a Simple Wood Cutter

from The Stranger in the Clearing

Pays1.5 PED

Do this
Gather 1000 Wood Shaving and hand them to the Stranger
Again in
21 hours
Waypoint
/wp [DSEC9, 38575, 23408, 122, Wood Cutter]

You hand the 1000 shavings in, so you keep about 0.5 PED of the reward.

Trees, nearest
/wp [DSEC9, 38218, 23684, 106, Trees]

A hundred metres from Larches Green. Run around the grouped mushroom-shaped trees and the harvestable ones pop up in front of you, sometimes two or three at a time.

Trees, second patch
/wp [DSEC9, 37997, 23405, 105, Trees]

Use this one if the first is picked over.

What you keep from a full round

Clear The Path
+1.63 PED
Cultists in Training
+0.67 PED
I'm Just a Simple Wood Cutter
+0.50 PED
The Frustrated Local
-3.89 PED

One to skip

DSEC-9

The Frustrated Local

Pays2.5 PED

Do this
Kill 250 low-level DSEC Bot CB, levels 3, 5 and 6
Waypoint
/wp [DSEC9, 33237, 17220, 108, The Frustrated Local]

The biggest reward on DSEC-9, and the only one that costs more to finish than it pays.

Two hundred and fifty bots is a lot of ammo. More ammo than 2.5 PED covers, on the gear a new player is likely to have.

The Frustrated Local, run on starter gear

It pays
2.50 PED
The ammo costs you
4.17 to 6.39 PED
So you finish down
1.67 to 3.89 PED

The one reason to run it anyway is the RAM and flash drives toward the DSEC armour. If you are not chasing those, walk past it.

The church, if you want the robes

The Church of the Elder Gods pays in Elder Tributes instead of ammo.

  1. Step 1

    Walk into the church

    The Church of the Elder Gods, a few minutes from Larches Green.

  2. Step 2

    Click the book on the altar

    That is what switches the tribute missions on. Nothing happens until you do.

  3. Step 3

    Pick up the three mining ones

    Find 3 Aqeeq claims, find 3 Nawa Drops, find 1 Lyst or Melchi claim. One tribute each, and they are the cheapest of the set to run.

Church of the Elder Gods
/wp [DSEC9, 38080, 23954, 105, Church]

There are hunting versions too, 50 Shogghols, 50 DSEC Bot CB, or 100 low-level creatures, one tribute each. All of them repeat every 16 hours.

What the ranks cost, in tributes

Elder Initiate
150
Elder Disciple
420
Elder Priest
810
Elder Lector
1,320
Elder High Priest
1,980

Tributes carry over into the next rank, so nothing is wasted. They cannot be traded and cannot be looted off you in PvP. Each rank you reach unlocks more missions and the old ones keep working, so it speeds up as you go.

The crafting daily, back on Monria

Monria Hub

Monria crafting daily

from Tobie

Pays0.75 Engineering

Do this
Hand in a run of manual crafts
Again in
22 hours
Waypoint
/wp [Monria, 38150, 22090, 212, Monria crafting daily]

Second floor of the Monria Hub, opposite end of the Trade Center on the left.

Before any of it: the starter chain

Welcome to the Dark Side runs through mushrooms, sweat, a little mining and the Necronomicon, and it introduces most of the people above. Start with the Stranger in the Woods.

Start of the chain
/wp [DSEC9, 36420, 23462, 106, Stranger in the Woods]

Everything above sits within about 700 metres of the Larches Green teleporter, which is the easy part. The Mountain of Madness teleporters proper are two to four kilometres further in, with aggressive mobs on the route and no vehicles or teleport chips allowed inside to skip them. Leave those for later. They serve mining and the dynamic events, and no daily runs from any of them.

Where the rest of it lives

Virtualsense runs the boards for Monria and DSEC-9. Every mission above is documented on them, along with plenty more than anyone needs in their first week.
