Sityl's 10k Argo Hunting Log

Run #12: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 6000/10000 (60%)

Weapon Value Loss = 29.15 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 89.15 PED
Ammo Spent (Total) = 431.14 PED
Armor Decay = 3.01 PED
FAP Decay = 0.02 PED

Cost = 552.47 PED
Total Cost = 6326.72 PED

Run TT Return (Gross)= 584.21 PED
Total TT Return (Gross)= 5947.08 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= +31.74 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 105.7%

Overall Return (Net)= -379.64
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 94.0%

Thoughts on the run. I was due for it. Finally had a positive run! Three globals for 38 PED, 32 PED, and then 42 PED, as well as a really surprisingly large amount of 5-10 PED value drops. Kinda scary how much luck is needed to come out ahead, but I'm just glad I finally got some good luck! :)

Notable Loot: Regeneration Chip I (L) - 7.00 PED
 
Run #13: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 6500/10000 (65%) A second good run in a row! :)

Weapon Value Loss = 29.82 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 90.59 PED

Total TT Return (Gross)= 6535.08 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= +30.27 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 105.4%

Overall Return (Net)= -349.37
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 94.9%

Thoughts on the run. Another good run. Had two globals for 51 PED and 44 PED. Seven runs to go. I'm sure I'll miss Argos some day, but starting to wish I could kill something else for a change. Think I'm gonna level mindforce/swords on punies for a bit when I'm finally done just to get a nice enjoyable change of pace (not that I'm not having fun, it's just monotonous).

Notable Loot: Regeneration Chip I (L) - 7.00 PED
Kinetic Attack Nanochip I (L) - 3.80 PED
 
Miss Argos!? Once your done with the 10k you have the bronze challenge left. :wise:
 
glad you're keeping the log up to date.. i'm really enjoying checking in on your progress :D Hopefully you hit a big one soon!
 
Well if anyone can inspire you to complete your 10k Argo mission, I'd guess it'll be me (judging by Entropia Life stats)

So here you go:

Listen closely

:sniper:

:handgun:

Some days are better than others, just keep going. :)
 
Thanks Megavolt! Wow, a 9200 PED'er! Mind if I ask what level that argo was? I appreciate the song and inspiration :)

Run #14: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 7000/10000 (70%) Third good run in a row! :)

Weapon Value Loss = 29.99 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 90.82 PED
Ammo Spent (Net) = 377.70 PED
Armor Decay = 2.89 PED
FAP Decay = 0.16 PED

Cost = 501.56 PED
Total Cost = 7386.01 PED

Run TT Return (Gross)= 549.14 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= +47.58 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 109.5%

Overall Return (Net)= -301.79
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 95.9%

Thoughts on the run. So glad to have had a great run again. I'm sure the luck will run out soon enough, but I had such a string of losses that 3 gains in a row makes me very happy. Two globals, 28 PED and then 47 PED, but I had a few near globals. Six runs left!

Notable Loot: Regeneration Chip I (L) - 7.00 PED (how many is this - 10 now?)
 
Run #15: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 7500/10000 (75%)

Weapon Value Loss = 29.19 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 90.07 PED
Ammo Spent (Net) = 429.49 PED
Armor Decay = 2.77 PED
FAP Decay = 0.00 PED

Cost = 551.54 PED
Total Cost = 7937.55 PED

Run TT Return (Gross)= 485.29 PED
Total TT Return (Gross)= 7569.51 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= -66.25 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 88.0%

Overall Return (Net)= -368.04
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 95.4%

Thoughts on the run. A bad run. I actually had a streak where I had a bunch of nice loots, though only one actual global, (31 PED), but that streak was buttressed by two streaks of ~150 kills where I had no drops over 100% return. I hit evader level 7 this run! Also, I am 3/4ths of the way through this thing!!

Notable Loot: None.

Question, and please answer:

When I do finish, do I take:

1)Combat Reflexes (eq. 28.75 PED implant)
or
2)Stamina (100 Tokens) and Combat Reflexes (eq. 3.13 PED implant)?

I had been leaning #1, as I really think it's going to have the biggest impact for me defensively, but I don't really know enough about Stamina to know for sure.
 
I would take the full skill option as it is now and has been so far ...... stam does nothing at all.
 
Only one way to get Stamina.

But is the difference notable?

It gives like one HP per 40 points or something. I am guessing that the day we have actual use for it, we will be able to skill it properly.

This is what I'm thinking. In 5-10 years when my character is a high level, I'll want the stamina, but in the meantime the evader level is going to do so much more for me.

It was one HP per 9.25 levels, but still, that's all it does as of today. I will be going for all skill rewards. I'm guessing I'd need at least five years of active playing to start benefiting from the extra attribute points.
 
Run #16: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 8000/10000 (80%) Does anyone remember what globals used to look like?

Weapon Value Loss = 28.60 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 88.70 PED
Ammo Spent (Net) = 381.39 PED
Armor Decay = 2.71 PED
FAP Decay = 0.00 PED

Cost = 501.40 PED
Total Cost = 8438.95 PED

Run TT Return (Gross)= 430.00 PED
Total TT Return (Gross)= 7999.51 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= -71.40 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 85.8%

Overall Return (Net)= -439.44
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 94.8%

Thoughts on the run. Bad run, no globals. Just four runs left.

Notable loot: None.
 
Nice job in this hunting log ... I had to say that same for me like at yor last report ... Absolutely no itemz with MU and no globals.
GL with last 2000 mobs (Bassically same for me)

Glad to hear I'm not alone! Hope you get a big uber, good luck! :)
 
Run #17: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 8500/10000 (85%) Hit 108 health this run. Also swapped to Pirion PBR-17 about 25% of the way through. Slightly less range than the CalyTrek Soul Mk.V, but not much, and it does more dps, killing argos a lot faster with it. It seems to use less weapon decay and more ammo, so less going to markup cost combined with a good dmg/pec anyways.

Weapon Value Loss = 22.54 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 91.51 PED
Ammo Spent (Total) = 434.91 PED
Armor Decay = 2.65 PED
FAP Decay = 0.10 PED

Cost = 551.71 PED
Total Cost = 8990.66 PED

Run TT Return (Gross)= 625.60 PED
Total TT Return (Gross)= 8625.11 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= +73.89 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 113.4%

Overall Return (Net)= -365.55
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 95.9%

Thoughts on the run. Possibly the best run yet! Only two globals (I say "only" because I did have one run at the beggining of this log when I had four globals), worth 36 PED and 56 PED, but I got more 5-20 PED drops than I could shake a stick at.

Notable Loot: None, surprisingly.
 
Run #18: 500 kills this run. Total progress = 9000/10000 (90%) Notice how much less TT value of (L) weapon I'm losing with the PBR-17 vs what I was getting with CalyTrek Soul Mk.V. It's that low despite my (as always) including auction markup costs.

Weapon Value Loss = 16.41 PED
Weapon and Amp Decay = 93.06 PED
Ammo Spent (Total) = 443.40 PED
Armor Decay = 3.17 PED
FAP Decay = 0.04 PED

Cost = 556.08 PED
Total Cost = 9546.74 PED

Run TT Return (Gross)= 642.47 PED
Total TT Return (Gross)= 9267.58 PED

Run TT Return (Net)= +86.39 PED
Run TT % Return (Net)= 115.5%

Overall Return (Net)= -279.16
Overall TT % Return (Net)= 97.1%

Thoughts on the run. Hard to believe, but had an even better run than last time. Three globals for 53 PED, 100 PED!, and 29 PED. This was my first triple digit global this entire log (and only my second ever). I kept mental note as I did this run of any of those 5-20 ped value drops, they totaled 168 PED. I'm thinking this is actually less value from these type of drops than I had gotten last run, but of course my two biggest globals really made a huge impact on return and ended up pulling this run ahead of the lsat one.

Notable Loot: Kinetic Attack Nanochip I (L) 6.00 PED.

Edited on 10/26/14 to add image of 100 PED global.

Gz on good runs! :wtg:

You're completing the mission a lot faster than I thought. As soon as I am done with the 5k shinkibas I'll give the Argos a go. Doesn't seem *that* tedious after all.
 
I watched this log from the beginning, as Argo was for me a goal in game, to be able to hunt it alone.

Also it had great loot in the past and the team hunts were fun, now I'm stuck somewhere at the beginning of 5k mission.

You did very well, almost unbelievable well, so congratz!

Maybe the number of kills/run, 500, is the magic trick, to be able to ride the bad waves. How long it takes to do a run, on average?

Thanks Tepes. I feel like I'm doing really well also, when I run into streaks of no-loot mobs or 1/4 value loot drops, I either take a break or fly to a different location, it seems to help but it's probably all psychological.

The speed depends. When I was in the 5000 kill mission, I was using Fenris Assault Rifle with Combustive Attack Nanochip II (L) as a puller. The Fenris had no amp as I didn't want to use limited, so those kills were quite slow. I never actually measured it, but thinking back, I probably killed around 80-100 argos an hour.

During this log, I've used a Fi/Ra/Co Beast amp and moved up from Calytrek Soul mk.III, then mk.iv, then mk.v and then finally the Pirion PBR-17, so I've gone from ~150 kills/hour to about 210. My Ranged BLP (Dmg) started around level 16 from what I recall and now I'm into level 22. When you unlock Ranged Damage Assessment, the next 2-3 levels fly by. Be sure to use only maxed weapons if you really want to try for max eco.

I've been using the free auto-loot pills from the ammo packs, haven't counted them in the log as I got them for free with the ammo packs (although technically I could still have sold them for 0.50 PED each), use two/run then just use a hotkey to loot the mob when it dies on the remainder until 500 kills.

It feels fairly tedious, I'm just really pressing hard to finally finish it, lol. I do wish you luck though, I'm sure you'll manage it as you seem to have the willpower to push through it. Not sure what your evader level is at this point, but I will say there's a huge difference in how often you get hit between level 3 (where I was during 5k quest) and level 7 where I am now. The quest rewards help a lot if you pick combat reflexes, so don't get too discouraged at the start if you're getting hit a lot.

Since I bought my adjusted pixie I don't mind getting hit actually. It is quite eco. Evader is about to hit level 5 and should do so before I'm done with the shinkibas. The only concern as of today would be my dps. Laser Pistoleer is about to hit 14 though, so there should be some decent UL SIB weapons around.

I do not think is just psychological, the no-looters tend to be clumped together for me too, and is better to spend a bit of that time relocating :)

Thanks for the answer, so is roughly at least 2 hours hunt. As ~ 2 years ago sold all my armor (Pixie, Adj Pixie, Shogun and plates, not much) and some of my skills, I tried to hunt them naked and much time was lost trying not to aggro more than 2 at once.
