Episparh"Sell a total of 20 Biological sample, Employee genetic data and Genetic research to bartenders."


Yes I can read what it says but does that mean 20 "of each" in total or 20 in total regardless of which? Saying "20 in total" then listing 3 items doesn't explain it very well.
Could I provide 20 of one or do I need to provide 20 of each so 60?

It's 20 in total. I guess you need to have some of each in the total, judging by the wording. The use of the word 'and' rather than 'or' may be significant.

"Total of" != "of each".

Total of 20 A, B and C. Any combination of A, B and C that totals 20.
20 of each A, B and C. 20 of A + 20 of B + 20 of C.


Total of a list of items. The AND is correct. If you put OR there. I would read it as 20 of A or 20 of B or 20 of C.

Some brit or murican will surely correct me if I am wrong as my mother tongue is from Slavic origin.

Saying "total of 20" then listing 3 items isn't very clear. Hence the question.

How you paraphrase it then to make it more clear in a single sentence?

The programmer in me interprets it as described in my previous post.

By specifying either "a total of 20 of any of the following items" which would mean only 20 to be collected or "20 of each of the following items" which would mean 60 items in total. Depending on which is required.
As it stands, there's no way to know which based on the existing sentence.

So, I haven't visited any Spire sites yet and I hear that the Artemis suit is best for them. Is this because you need the bio-scan tool?
I found two grade 3 Artemis suits. One with enhanced tracking and extra backpack capacity and the other has night vision and damage resistance. Is it worth upgrading and modifying one of these? If not, what's a good build for a Spire site Artemis suit?

Depends what you want to do at the Spire Site.
For landing on the platforms and collecting mats and samples the Artemis is best, the scan sample tool is needed for collecting mats from the 'branches'. Night vision is handy and I would suggest jump assist as another useful upgrade, XL backpack is less of an issue for Spire operations, especially since the Type 8 update which increased the base capacity.

If you plan to raid the barnacle sites you will need a tougher suit, Maverick will do but I prefer a Dominator for the extra weapon. A double Manticore Intimidator load out with a holster reload upgrade can give severe terminal indigestion to any pesky Banshee.
