SnowLeopard's hunting log

SnowLeopard · Jul 4, 2013

I've never tracked my hunting minutely before because of many reasons including being a lazy bastard and knowing it will be worse than even my worst expectations. The three runs I did today are typical of what I've been experiencing in the last month or two -- ever since I peaked in the top 10 of the Top 100 Hunters list.

At the start of each hunt, I note the TT value of all limited items (and unlimited items that are not fully repaired) and the amount of ammo and synthetic mind essence. At the end of each hunt, I note the new TT value of above items, the repair costs for unlimited items, and the total TT value of everything looted during the hunt.
The only thing I'm not counting is regular mind essence and teleport chip decay.

My info on entropedia is up to date if you need to see my skills and professions. I only use items I'm maxed on with the exception of the ML-35 SGA.

Added two hunts from today.
Net so far 372.29

SnowLeopard · Jul 6, 2013

3 more hunts (-566.06) added.

Total costs so far: 5123.08
Total loot so far: 4184.73
TT Returns: 81.68%
Net so far: 938.35

I can add over 100 ped to those loses in markup I paid on the pistols and fap... most stuff looted is TT food and the rest barely averages 102%.

I've said it before and now I am proving it: MY LOOT SUCKS.

SnowLeopard · Jul 7, 2013

2 more hunts added. :broke:

Total costs so far: 6724.02
Total loot so far: 5543.51
TT Returns: 82.44%
Net so far: 1180.51

Time to change the way you hunt then?

Feel free to make suggestions!
AFAIK, the only thing I'm doing wrong is continuing to play.

SnowLeopard · Jul 7, 2013

Another 2...

Total costs so far: 7950.31
Total loot so far: 6720.93
TT Returns: 84.53%
Net so far: 1229.38

Isn't it surprising that two of the hunts are generally not recommended when trying to get best returns; hunting with a fapper and participating in a most loot event (entry was free and I didn't win any prize), and those are two most profitable so far?

sunny · Jul 8, 2013

But you still HoF away on jokes

SnowLeopard · Jul 9, 2013

3 more...

Total costs so far: 9948.13
Total loot so far: 8537.57
TT Returns: 85.85%
Net so far: 1407.56

MindArk tried to hire retired porn stars but the ladies refused... they couldn't stand the idea that loot sucked more than they did.

no finisher?

SnowLeopard · Jul 10, 2013

Only 1 this time...

Total costs so far: 10575.18
Total loot so far: 8888.09
TT Returns: 84.05%
Net so far: 1687.09

SnowLeopard · Jul 12, 2013

7 more...

Total costs so far: 16100.72
Total loot so far: 13820.85
TT Returns: 85.84%
Net so far: 2279.87

SnowLeopard · Jul 23, 2013

Added last 2 hunts... the last one was done on my 7th anniversary and was so good I haven't been back since.

Total costs so far: 17786.92
Total loot so far: 14858.52
TT Returns: 83.54%
Net so far: 2928.40

25 hunts about an hour each with a net loss of about 3000 ped leads to $12 per hour to play.

I didn't get anything with any kind of decent markup to offset ridiculous losses, not even a tiny ESI.
