Scanning guide

In Entropia Universe there are a tool called Scanner. For some it's a total waste of money to get one and others find it quite useful.

What does the scanner do?
If you equip the scanner and point it towards another player or mob you will get some extra information. Use it like you use a weapon. You will also gain skills in scanning human, animal, mutant or robot. You will also gain some other skills such as biology and  perception among others.

What information do I get?
Depending on what you point your scanner towards you gets different results.
 

Avatar

 You will know the avatars prof standing, streangth, agility health level etc. And in the bottom window you can see what clothes, armour and equipment the avatar has put on.

Animal, Mutant and Robot

The most important information you get here is the health points the animal has. This is how much damage you have to inflict to kill the animal.

Tame animal

 The tame animals also show who owners name, Which taming level the animal has (1,2 or 3). How much it trusts the owner. When the pet needs to be fed next time.

What can I use the information for?
The scanner is useful before you go in to a PvP fight. If you scan your opponent you will know if you have a chance or not. You can scan a new mob you meet to see if it's any idea to try to kill it. The big problem with this is that you need to stand close to the target to scan so you will learn fast anyway if you did have any chance or not. If you see a lonely tame animal you can learn who it belongs to. Or you just use it to peek at people to see what kind of clothes they are wearing. The last thing you can use the scanner to do is to gain skills. Since you get skill almost every attempt you use it you will skill fast. And the more skill you have the better is your avatar. You don't know which skill is used in which calculation.

How close do I need to be to scan?
With the TT scanner you has a range of 35 meters and then you can buy craftet scanners with better range. There are scanners with a range up to 80 meters. To bad that one will cost you something like 400  PED

Good luck!
