grind centaurs until you can afford tet manos gear, well done.  thats the type of stuff that gets me excited after taking a break from the game, go straight into a 6 hour centaur marathon that makes you wanna uninstall this game. 

edit* to give a little bit more context, just did some lumbering with 1.1k mastery and agris and the result is truly underwhelming. feels like a complete waste of time.

i also dont understand the energy limitation tbh, those 5mil pots cut quiet a bit into the profit. is this content abandoned or something ?

most efficient way is not by searching for "BIS" items or what ever "guides" suggest you to do, but do basic math, calculate what you wanna do, what its bring, how much its cost.

As right now no lifeskill can compete with grind, so if you for real grind to buy TET manos w/o even perform basic math, its your own problems. Just simple caclute how much time its will take you to lifeskill back money to spend on lifeskill gear, 6h centauts grind is nothing compare to that.
