Hello fellow Entropians.

As many have said here on the forum loot has sucked big time for some time now.
I have a terrible return of around 50% tt loot vs ammo for a long time now.
It seems that I only get decent return hunting with MF.

So I gonna try to accomplish some things now in this tracking blog.

My lvl's at start Electro dmg 30, Electro hit 15
Current lvl's: Electro Dmg: 40 Electro Hit: 27

Total TT spent: 22 616
Total TT gained: 22 262

Missions.

1. Skilling MF.
2. Finnish 10k Args Iron (10 000/10 000) DONE 2013-06-23
2B. Detour finnishing the Combibo Iron (Stage 1 done)
3. Finnish 5k Allo/Esto ( 5 000/5 000) DONE 213-08-01
4. Finnish 10k Allo/Esto Iron (0/10 000)
5. Finnish 10k Feff Iron (3 000/10 000)
6. Do all this with MF.
7. Do this with only 1 deposit of $100 along the way

Sidemissions
3000 points LT's. DONE 2013-07-11
6000 points Levi. DONE 2013-07-11

Let's c if I can manage this. Will prolly get busted on mission 7 :D
And if I will finnish all this, what will my lvl's be?

Starting small.

Round 1 ( Progress 1582/10 000)

Syntethic Mind Essence: 150 ped
Kinetic Attack Nanochip IV (L)
Regeneration Chip IV (L)
Adjusted Pixie

Loot: 128,88
Decay: 2,53
Total: - 23,65

I will only count decay on armor and later add the cost of chip when buying a new one.
Mu I will add when I'm selling loot from storage

Ofcourse it starts with a red hunt. But not that much that I'm use to.
Of to next one.
 
Good luck!:beerchug:
 
Good luck. I'm also doing something similar to skill up mindforce.

Quite like the opportunity to in essence start over.
 
I have been skilling mindforce on puny's and shinkiba/diakiba and getting poooor returns.

But I am going to watch this thread, and cross my fingers for you.
 
It might be painful to use low level chips on regen mobs. Argo is a good choice but allo/esto/feffs may not be ;)

That's very good advice. I went down to really small mobs like combibo after trying mobs like esto. Once I've gained more skills will move onto esto with bigger chips :)
 
Round 2 ( Progress 1722/10 000)

Syntethic Mind Essence: 150 ped
Kinetic Attack Nanochip IV (L)
Regeneration Chip IV (L)

Total: 35,36

2 under 50 ped globals this run

Total return of all runs: 11,71

Yes, and that's why I'm gonna do the 10k argo before I start the other again.
Hopefully I will skill up atleast 2 lvl's for the chips.

Have you tried argo without any armour?

A rule of thumb I use now is if I can't kill it with my chip unarmoured I'm hunting too big. At the moment I'm doing prancer iron mission they are pretty easy and no armour needed.
 
Round 3 ( Progress 1825/10 000)

Syntethic Mind Essence: 150 ped
Kinetic Attack Nanochip IV (L)
Regeneration Chip IV (L)
Adjusted Pixie

Loot: 103,73. 36 ped of this was essence I didn't use. chip broke
Decay: 2,28
Total: -48,55

Totaly crap run

Total return of all runs: -41,84


Got lvl 30 dmg and 15 Hit this run

Haven't tried it.
But I use armor now so I don't need to heal.
Think healcost would be more then armor decay.
 
Good luck with it, currently doing 5k Argo's myself with Lacerating IV chips.
 
MF Skilling

I have also attempting the argo Iron Challenge with Mf. Seeing a similar pattern of losses unless I HOF! I am using MF heal without armour and seeing a nice increase in skills. Good luck with the challenge.

This is something I have to count in to all.
If I skip the armor I save 2-3 ped/hunt in armor decay, but will get a higher healcost.
But since I use healchip I also gain skills faster.
I will try my next hunt naked and start healing and see how it will effect the loot and skillgain.
I will not count decay for the healchip since I loot them and pays no mu. How ever I will add the cost for the healchip in the total profit/loss when this one are broke. I had this before I started the log so call it a freebee.
 
Round 4 ( Progress 1 960/10 000)

Syntethic Mind Essence: 150 ped
Kinetic Attack Nanochip IV (L)
Regeneration Chip IV (L)
Naked

Loot: 197,41
Decay: 0
Total: 47,41



One 28 ped global and alot of 8-20 ped loots

Hunting naked works fine and actually saves me some peds and getting me more skills.

Had the same back in the days, but then the hope for the lucky weekly loot was there.
Now I'm glad to get a 28 pedder lol
