PvP4 minning log

Run 24:
TT out: 100

And another low tt return run. But this time I got astonishing markup.
No PK, no GDs spotted, nothing. It was a clear run.
My Ava in toxic area, after long break, is clearly choking from intoxication.
C´mon, small box of Pandora, show me what are you hidding inside.

Run 26:
TT out: 100
TT in: 69

Run of three faces (lol wut).
First one - yesterday - nice tt, but no pyrite, only gold claim here and there, with two stones of langotz.
Second one - today morning - exclusive pyrite, thanks to Cash, who let me mine there. But I ran out of ME soon, so I had to stop (well, I needed to go to work too, I was late anyway, lol).
Third one - this evening - low tt, no rare.

After all, I got nice markup again and third profit run in a row, as well, which is - to be honest - very good.
Its just additional expenses that blocked my way to overall profit this time.
Anyway, I´m in -855 tt hole. Looking at this number and considering the fact, I still do not mine on main areas, is overall -12 more than accepted.

But Im afraid now, ongoing Mayhem will cause low mining returns for few days.
Let´s see.

Run 29:

Best part of this run came during mining break, while hunting Kerberoses. Got two mini globals and ended up with nice tt profit.

Mining itself was - as usuall - low on tt. But somehow, pyrite was droping a lot, so at the end, there were enough markup peds to push me up to green numbers.

Some people think that mining in pvp4 is 100% profit... Nice that you show numbers.
 
Tired some myself today.
Except being killed, was around 60% return incl MU, was a short run tho :p

Yup, in pvp is accepting your position in food chain crucial :)

Run 30:
TT out: 100
TT in: 76

One thing is 1000 peds TT loss in 3000 peds spent. Thats a lot.
Second thing is I´m still holding small profit. MM helps a lot. Lot of PK went out to try their luck hunting.
Got almost 7 tt himi, nice run, tt in this run could be considered as low, but it is still 10% above my average TT return.
So Im ok with it.

Did 6k more drops in the meantime and things are turning out to be pretty well.

And here we go, big update:


Runs: 31-81 (50 runs)
TT out: 6170
TT IN: 5390

Few weeks of mining. Did few lvl5´s and lvl2´s runs. Still, most of runs were unamped.
Had few nice claims in the meantime.
XIII pyrite (unamped)

XVII belk (unamped)

XVII lyst (429) and XV narc and blaus.

Anyway, in last weeks there are many lvl13´s miners killing pyrite markup.
Well, instead of having constant profit, they decided to kill markup with lvl 13s and to make lot od losses. This, dear readers, is what people are. Greedy and absolutely not thinking beings...

About PK - been killed once, so not much unneeded expenses for me.

Overall profit went up from +29 to +1.2k, but with this pyrite decline, well, who knows

These runs profit form markup: +1506

Good tt return, very few rares.
In lootable its usually opposite.
Got 2 bad streaks, both ended with nice claims (IX and XII, both blau).
Due to missing markup only very small profit was made. Wasted chance here.

3 runs. All of them Joda style.
First one was enmat + Lvl3 amp. I went to eudoria to look for some markup. Ended up with nice tt (84%) and not that good markup (123,2%).
Second one was lootable mining, lvl3 again, ended up with nice markup (145%) and poor tt (70%).
Last one was unamped lootable mining. Excellent tt (115%) and markup ok (132%)

Anyway I was minnig drunk. Thats Joda style, porting everywhere, no matter who, no matter where :)

Surveyor lvl12 reached, and stage II belkar is done as well.

After all, nice rounded number at tt spent - 10k

Two runs.
One was unamped at pvp4. Wasnt doing very well tt-wise, but Ive got a lot of pyrite, so after all, I ended with +10.
Second run was a mess. Started as unamped ore at pvp, then I swapped to lvl5 enmat, back to lvl5 ore for a while and ended up with lvl5 enmat again.
TT was, however, good - 91%, but I was missing better markup.

What is interesting is my tt return in last 500-600 drops. It stays around 90%.
Im curios how long will it last.

Lvl 2 light this time. Lootable.
No big claims (maximum was VI pyr), tt ended at very acceptable 79%.
Markup was nice, run was nice, everything in the world is nice. Depends on how u look at it.

First run was ok. Unamped ore at pvp4. Got some himi, got some pyrite and ended up with beatifull t return - 98%.
Run ended with 30 peds profit.

For second run I picked up lvl5 amp and went out for some enmat at Eudoria. Well, shortly after start I got 692 peds of molecule:

(Finally some picture again :))
I was expecting either a hof or a total breakdown of my tt return after last 700 good drops. Hof happened, so I must prepare myself for a dry period now.

After half of the run I went back to lootable area, looking for some ore.
In first 11 claims I got 9 x pyr, 1 x kanerium and 1 x gold.
Followed by 5 claims durul/narc.
This was not a run. This was a dream.

And looking back at 66% tt return I´ve had in my first 3k drops, I must say - its good I kept droping.

Well, I was expecting dry period, after-hof-disease, nrf-festival, whatever, but really, not another hof:

Very nice XVI, 287 peds of blausariam. Unamped.

Anyway, drilling wasnt very smooth. Shortly after swirlies, cloud found me, so I needed to go afk for a few hours.
All was drilled up, at the end, didnt lost anything.
Was Pked once, but as usuall, I was empty :)

Now, Im within touch with mythical 90% tt return.
And Im surprised how good Im doing in last few hundreds drops.

It had to come. First run was a payback to a system. 55% tt return, -30 peds after mu counted.

Second run was a bless. Over and over again I´m getting nice claims in last runs while I´m not expecting anything.
XV niksarium this time, unamped.

Nice tt return, nice profit, nice ... I dont know, ... anything?

And yes, I touched it, mist of ubers, crossing the river rhine, eh, I mean, crossing the 90% tt return.
Here I Am, sitting at the edge of the myth and feeling good :yup:

It's nice that you are making 90% return. I kept a log for a long time and I managed to get a 73-74% consistent return over hundreds of level 7 amps (kept track with a spreadsheet). With pyrite markup at 300% right before mayhem it was okay, but maybe I just need to drop more :)

Well, I believe its number of loot opportunuties, what counts, not tt-spent. Thats why I´m seeing number of drops more important than overall turnover.
Many amped miners can make "mine" 11k turnover within few days, but the price they have to pay at the end, is too high.

And there is really thin line between mining and gambling nowadays, considering today´s markups.
In my opinion, lvl7s are far behind this line, especially outside of pvp.

But I might be wrong as well :D

I think that it does have more to do with loot opportunities, however, just to clarify i mean that i was getting 73-74% TT return consistently. sometimes runs would be as low as 50% and rarely would i break above 90%. with markup i was able to make profit barely. Maybe i will revisit mining again sometime soon because level 5's are so cheap now.

The most important thing here is - I forgot about adding decay of finder for ... how long ... maybe 25 runs. Its all added now in overal tt spent.

Both runs (100 unamped drops) werent very interesting. Found one IX pyrite.
Anyway, markup was good.

I have to prepare myself for a dry period now. From now on, there is hardly any way up.
But well, that is what minning is about, isnt it?

Nice job so far.

I have mined that area as well. I find it interesting, You have never Lost any Ore do to PvP.
Maybe the 1st few times you went. you where under the radar. But making these posts and when you got your Hof's, PvP people are going to be looking hard for you . If they are at all over all. Maybe you just have Lots of friends. That would normally Kill others or try to.
I was killed 4 times their and lost Ore every time. Mined you over all I was still about even .
Because I had found a few very nice spots . The thing is It doesn't matter how fast you try and Teleport out If the other person is lucky enough to Teleport. Close enough you don't have time.
It really is to bad. In one way they put all that awesome Ore's there when only the Pvp'er get to enjoy them. With out be harassed. I mean the other great places to mine are over mined. So its a bit of luck that someone else hasn't just left where your about to start mining.
I would Think it would make it also a sure thing to keep in the 90 % range.
As I said I was killed 4 times. And I still broke even. Because of how Common the rare ore's in the spots I found.

Anyways Good luck to you,
