Summer 2025 gave my screenshot folder a pleasing variety of scenery. Water, hunting ground, purple soil and trees all made appearances. My avatar was getting around, even if his idea of sightseeing usually involved carrying a weapon or testing the ground for resources.
After the crafting episode, I continued working on skills and activities at a level I could manage. The pictures from this period are useful reminders that progress was still happening. They are a collection of moments across several months, rather than a complete account of every session.
Something in the water
EntropiaLife records a 986 PED Leviathan result on 15 July. The screenshot shows Polaris armour pieces alongside 521.19 PED of shrapnel, explaining why the shrapnel figure alone is smaller than the recorded total. My EWE LC-240 Recon, CDF Edition (L) is equipped, and a great deal of the view is occupied by pale water.
It is perhaps not the photograph I would choose for a tourism brochure. As a memory of an enjoyable hunt, however, it does the job nicely. The creature had contributed to both my skills and the contents of the album.
Two days later, the records place a 228 PED Durulium Stone find on Next Island. Purple ground and the Mining for the Gorgon mission panel give that image its own character. Taking the finder along meant a change of planet did not require abandoning my oldest habit.
Familiar creatures, familiar tools
On 28 July, a Feffoid screenshot records 621.49 PED. Feffoid rank 11 and Ambulimax rank 6 are visible beside the action. Small skill gains appear in the chat as well. The larger number catches the eye first, but those quieter gains were part of what I was working towards all along.
By 6 September I had another mining picture: a 780 PED Lysterium find on Calypso, labelled Extremely large (19). My saved filename identifies a Terra Amp 6, while the image shows a TerraMaster 4 (L). The trees had returned, along with another reason to stop walking and take a screenshot.
I do not remember every route from those months. What survives is the variety, and I like that. Entropia kept offering something else to work on whenever I felt like changing pace. My journal was slowly becoming a travel album with unusually detailed notes about rocks.
