* UPDATE *
It would seem I am wasting my time with furthering my interest in this event, so I shall not continue with updates to this post, unless something special occurs (Highly Doubtful)
Just as I would be wasting my PED with unsustainable loot from other robots in the hope to eventually loot some piece of non-guaranteed full-TT value (L) item with some attached value to it, again in the hope that it sells quickly to offset costs.
Ultimately this proving to be very disruptive to daily turnover of loot required to sustain my level of participation;
My interest has disipated. So ...
Good luck to those continuing the event, and grats in advance to those whom loot contraction units.
I'll donate all my EFD to any player who comes forward who has looted all the parts themselves and not bought any, who also is classed as a low or mid level player....
Does it count if your using a reverse strategy of looting the parts, selling them until you have the Contraction Unit, then buying them back ?
If so,
Currently looted solo :
9 lens & 1 hyper-charger
Same routine done daily, ~ same level of activity/TT burn, same area.
(2k+ PED minimum TT burn across hunting/mining/crafting daily)
- Event start date to Thursday 11th Dec, No parts.
- Thursday 11 Dec AEST, 8 lens, 1 hyper-charger (Hunted/Drones)
- Friday 12 Dec AEST, 1 lens (Hunted/Drone)
- Saturday 13 Dec AEST, No Parts
- Sunday 14 Dec AEST, No Parts
Total income from parts : 9 x 75ped + 1 x 400 ped = 1,075ped
Random Thoughs So Far :
- MA either made a boo boo on Thursday AEST, or page-turning also meanings event component item loot tap-turning too.
- With Thursday's loot anomaly it is highly likely MA wanted to initiate a lens/charger market price crash to minimise backlash (Risk Managment) from phat-wallet participants buying up the items in advance of the set-limit contraction unit drops, along with giving all participants the WOW effect in an attempt to increase motivation and inspiration to drive further TT burn/participation by all.
- Little consistency in looting potential diminishing motivation of furthering efforts to increase TT burn to acquired components needed.
- On the positive side, a little has been made on looted components so far for those without a huge budget and are not towards the average combat level 60+
(minimum dodge 50 with already well established high dps weapons and/or good armor, Shadow/Supremacy/PoE etc if solo).
EVENT EQUALITY :
- Personal opinion of total equality event award potential *thus far*
It would seem the event is non-bias at this point with multiple confirmed drops of hyper-chargers from small maturity drones SAT 13th MA time, though this will come down to if a couple of the contraction units were looted from lower to mid range hunting/crafting/mining challenges by the end of the event.
WTG so far FPC/MA
Equipment breakdown :
Hunting - Vigi set & 6A Plates, Melee lvl 11 sibs assil UnL club only
Mining - OF-105, MF-105
Crafting - OA-101, MA-101 (Used in mining above only)
Levels rounded up to nearest whole level :
Mid level participant : Just over 200k skills
Hunting Av : 40 (34 dodge / 50 clubs)
Mining Av : 15 (17 prospector / 16 surveyor)
Crafting Av : 10 (10 attachment)
Deposits/Capital since event start :
4,000 ped depositted ($ 675 aussie)
+ full TT assil ~ 1300 ped that can be decayed.
+ Parts income : 1,075ped
Asset Selloffs :
+ Ghost Set Sold : ~ 900ped with feet
+ CND Appartment Sold : 750ped
Remaining amount PED/Resource/Item TT after event is finished : ~ ????
No event zone robots as it is not affordable upon a set $500 Aussie (3000 ped)
participation investment budget per fortnight at my current daily TT burn rate, trapped at event zone revival on multiple occassions and the event zones in general are terribly over crowded. (Tried it, no enjoyment, won't return)
Robots hunted to provide a semi-sustainable rate of participation :
Location : Eudoria
- Drones 01 - 10 (Area maturity primary spawn density 05 to 08)
- Troopers 01 - 04 (Mostly when they get in the way of mining)
Too newb to take down SEGs solo for hunted contraction unit, and no luck yet with mining or crafting amps for the mining, so it is unlikely I will loot the contraction unit, though it is worth a shot since this is supposedly a non-bias event, to see if they drop off a low to mid range mobs/recipes.
^^ I will keep it updated as time progresses ^^
dum dee dum, and the beat goes on
Careful beating the drum of times gone by. I quickly learnt it just puts MA to sleep of which earns you a bad rep with them for doing so
Adding another 2000 EFD for the pot

time to get back to it.
