Why did you switch to Kadra!!?

Click to expand...

Change of pace and folly. Kadra global a lot. My reasoning was that if I could hit 250 globals and hofs and finish the IFN challenge in June it would mean a payout of 6500 peds from the Sanctuary Cove challenge. But the returns were horrific and I bailed out on it. I will go back eventually and finish it because the challenge incentives are worth it, just when I have a much larger bank roll to ride out the bad loot periods.

After 94 runs:

Ammo purchased - 81753.07
Fap decay - 440.26
Armor decay - 4998.88

Total cost - 112769.4

TT return - 111739.8 (99.09%)

SUMMARY - 3 plus runs, 8 loss runs. Ugly few days. Three runs away from damage level 75. Race to see if damage level ticks over first or tier 7 on the Igni.

THE LOOT GOALS

1) beat personal ath ( 10,485 Atrax Provider ) - 0/1
2) 20k+ loot - 0/1
3) 2000 globals/hofs - 385/2000
4) 20 uber loots - 2/20
5) rare loot - 1 (Gravis GBP-35 mkII off Kadra)

THE TIER GOALS

6) Igni to tier 9 - 6.8/9
7) Adj Fap to tier 5 - 3.3/5

Weapon decay - 27120.64
Total costs - 119500.5

TT return - 119731.3 (100.19%)

SUMMARY - Big Saturday eeks me back over the 100% return mark thanks to a 1060 ped Provider and a 694 ped Old. Crossed the level 75 mark so close to 120k ped cycled to put on two damage levels. Igni went to tier 7 and got the hof so I'll update the first post with new dps and raw dpp. Things continue to progress much better than I ever would have anticipated so I continue shooting.

Total costs - 125889.30

TT returns - 125316.00 (99.54%)

SUMMARY - shit few days. One barely plus run and four neg runs. Lone bright spot was rare loot #2, a TP III chip off a Feffox Young. Got up to #3 on tracker though trying to shoot my way through the bad loot period . Tier 3 hof on Viceroy shins to go along with tier 3 hof on Viceroy arms. Fingers crossed things turn around again. I'll get depressed if my returns dip to 98%

Weapon decay - 30334.64
Total costs - 134115.4

TT return - 132705.3 (98.95%)

SUMMARY - Two plus runs and two even runs greatly outweighed by two miserable runs so overall return drops below 99%. Should be clearing level 76 by run #165 or so at this rate.

THE LOOT GOALS

1) beat personal ath ( 10,485 Atrax Provider ) - 0/1
2) 20k+ loot - 0/1
3) 2000 globals/hofs - 453/2000
4) 20 uber loots - 3/20

Anyone saying Igni isnt enough for feffox really should look at your tt returns Nice log!

75.512

current dmg level at 75.512

haven't had as much time to grind away lately and feffox went bad for real so started bouncing around. currently back on eviscerators with the only goal to loot another enigma

will update numbers as soon as i get around to doing my accounting but log does still live on

Subscribing Good luck out there!

Appreciate you keeping this log for higher skilled avatar.

Also, it was definitely too good to last with that dpp, but you had an amazingly long run of above-normal loot. Hope you see it level off soon!

New setup:

MkV ME goes to tier 2, doing 55.5 effective dps at 2.92/3 dpp

Decided to close out some of the smaller iron missions to test out new loot tables so finished silver argo and doing some big shins and big kerbs with decent tt returns so far.

77.9149

After 259 runs:

Ammo purchased - 240404.3
Fap/ Healer costs - 4012.16
Armor costs - 10371.35
Weapon costs - 69244.51
Total costs - 324032.3

TT return: 296565.22 (91.52%)


SUMMARY:

Back to Feffox for a while so I can burn through a pile of booster pills while paying way less attention to EU than most other mobs. Ticked over to Laser hit 85. Next few runs will see dmg level tick to 78 and should still be on pace to hit KS before the end of the year.

Your returns look fairly decent to be using a non-sib weapon.

Thanks a lot for sharing all this information.

"Chipping optimizer says the fastest way from point A to B would cost 22.774 peds to chip. My guess is that it'll take tt losses about twice what it would cost to chip to get there. Time will tell though."



I am rly curious i always chiped to reach some unlock though its much cheaper lets see how bad hunting till it is.

Good Luck BCH! Subscribing.

Total costs - 363507.9

SUMMARY:

Figured it was time to update These are numbers through the end of the year. Play time took a nose dive at the end of the year so the unlock didn't happen. Looking at sometime in February now. Back to grinding.

Good luck in 2015 everyone.

You're almost there!!!

79.2ish

Long overdue update

After 345 runs:

Armor costs - 13979.3
Weapon costs - 91766.84
Total costs - 429625.4

TT return: 385976.23 (89.84%)


SUMMARY: Core Mayhem got me over level 79. But loot for me went all to shit at the beginning of the year so I mostly put this on hiatus to skill melee and boost health for the next chapter of my entopia adventure i still shoot lasers whenever shrapnel adds up to cover a full run so kill strike will still be unlocked within a few months. i'll keep updating until then.

Long overdue update v2.0

PROJECT KILLSTRIKE

After 499 runs:

Ammo purchased - 344826.6
Fap/ Healer costs - 6347.95
Armor costs - 14914.41
Weapon costs - 100595.1
Total costs - 466684

TT return: 417646.62 (89.49%)


SUMMARY: Last Core Mayhem was abysmal and my tt return % here was plummeting so I sold all gear and determined to re-evaluate the way I play the game. So I decided to start from scratch so to speak and teach myself how to play much smarter than I have for the past near-decade. I used Rufen's thread (https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?273519-How-To-Survive!) as a template combined with what knowledge I've gathered on my own and knowing that I have an advantage of higher skills.

So, here goes THE CHON LOG

Mob has been young to old alpha kerberos. To keep progressing toward killstrike i decided to use the same weapon as Rufen was, the Ozpyn Chon S1X1, amped with Omegaton A101's. Each run is long enough to break the Chon. Last mob is finished with the tt pistol amped with the Sinkadus. Armor is Adjusted Musca unplated. Fap is an SI Heart. With small gear I don't think I can get much more eco. Defensive costs are 2.5-3 ped per run, offensive costs are 50 ped ammo and 38.5 decay. Great patience is required as this method has slowed skill progress to a snail's pace I started over like this on May 8th.

I'll run the Chon Log alongside Project Killstrike until I get hella bored of it

After 129 runs:

Ammo - 6479.78
Fap cost - 28.62
Armor - 352.64
Weapon - 4978.07

Overall costs - 11839.11

TT Return - 11793.58 (99.62%)

SUMMARY: It becomes very evident that the game knows exactly how much you are up or down at any given point and evens you out to the plus or minus. Every time i go up, and there has been a few cases of as much as +350 tt, a long dry spell begins that puts me to just under 100%. Then a 100+/- ped global pops and its back to the green. I'm forcing myself to squeeze every bit of markup I can from loots which is something I've never been good at. Stacking all loot as it is received until sellable stacks are accumulated seems like it only requires a bankroll of about 500 ped.

For the moment I'm finding this an entertaining way to creep toward killstrike so I'll keep it up for a bit. Given current levels of free time I should still hit level 80 dmg by the end of July. At that point may decide to step up to a bigger mob and see if current strategies and theories continue to be fruitful. Who knows?

Will start updating this thread more regularly now for those still paying attention

Good luck out there.

Nice, this is my next goal, so its great to see someone else's efforts to get there. Carry on!

Ammo purchased - 345176.6
Fap/ Healer costs - 6349.09
Armor costs - 14933.36
Weapon costs - 100864.1
Total costs - 467323.1

TT return: 418505.56 (89.55%)


THE CHON LOG

After 136 runs:

Ammo - 6829.78
Fap cost - 29.76
Armor - 371.59
Weapon - 5247.07
Overall costs - 12478.2

TT Return - 12652.52 (101.4%)

SUMMARY: To give evidence to my previous point, I went down 45 ped overall and over the course of these seven runs i was up 220. The sad thing is this usually means the next seven will be horrific as long as tt return stays around even and all markup is money into the pocket this will keep me entertained for a while. Every seven runs puts about .01 level on my laser dmg prof so I'm estimating kill strike around run #275.

Now back to work Good luck all.

Good luck with your Project and dont Think about the Money because i have about 10k in this skill but i dont dare to Think about how much Money i spent to get to this Point.

After 547 runs:

Ammo purchased - 347972.6
Fap/ Healer costs - 6367.66

Weapon costs - 102670.2
Total costs - 472089.1

THE CHON LOG

After 175 runs:

Ammo - 8779.78
Fap cost - 41.15
Armor - 488.64
Weapon - 6753.02
Overall costs - 16062.59

TT Return - 16125.24 (100.39%)

SUMMARY: Still TT up so all markup is profit so I remain happy with this little side project.

To respond to Val - I use the the overall returns as a barometer for how good a streak is. I definitely don't focus solely on it or I would have bailed out long before I flushed hundred's of K's of peds down the toilet here. The real surprising thing is that I'm still being entertained by shooting small to mid-level kerbs. I know me and I will eventually get fed up and go big and lose big. Just not yet

Now back to work Good luck all.

the last project killstrike post ever



PROJECT KILLSTRIKE OVER

575 RUNS

Ammo purchased - 354527.8
Fap/ Healer costs - 6489.41
Armor costs - 15382.48
Weapon costs - 105570.7
Total ped cycled - 481970.4

Total TT return: 431232.19 (89.47%)


SUMMARY: When i started the tt value needed to chip from laser dmg 73 to 80 to unlock killstrike was 22.8k peds and I speculated that tt loss to hunt my way there would be roughly twice that. Returns were in the normal-ish range of 90% for the entire run with almost all weapons fired landing close to that 90% mark except the little ozpyn chon which is still around 99.5%. Overall tt lost during the log was 50738.21 peds.

i'll switch the chon log over to another thread for anyone who's interested to keep an eye on as it will still keep me entertained as i sell a bunch of stuff and rearrange gear and goals for the grind to 100/100.

good luck everyone. happy hunting

Big, big gratz!

Thanks for keeping us updated.

GZ! That's fantastic!

I'm 78 Laser Pistoleer hit and 64 Ranged Laser dmg now, I have a long way to go...

HUGE Gratz on the epic journey and arrival at destination Kill Strike!

An achievement I will probably never see

Great log thanks for sharing.
