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

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.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
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.
01
Step 1
Walk into the church
The Church of the Elder Gods, a few minutes from Larches Green.
02
Step 2
Click the book on the altar
That is what switches the tribute missions on. Nothing happens until you do.
03
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.
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.
