Sityl's 12k Zadul Hunting Log

Grats on Coolness!

Hint: You can use your lipstick to draw a fancy moustach like I did with my Eyepens.

OnT: Your last run was 90%, but with recycled ammo. It might very well have been 95%. When you start recycling things start to look a lot worse than they really are, since you calculate returns compared to your original amount of ammo while you actually used up a lot more.

Let's hope you find that brain already! Or fivedollahs song. I am thinking that both might be equally difficult...
 
We should take bets on which is found first. :p
 
They both do. I'm sure I've mistaken the origin but the style was the same.

Brain will drop in time.
 
Currently 9001/12000 - Zadul IFN Challenge Stage V - Incomplete

I accidently killed an extra mob but it worked out to be a meme: "It's over 9000!"

Ammo Spent: 993.13 PED (Exact amount - Universal Ammo used)
Limited Weapon Decay: 75.67 PED (Includes MU)
UL Weapon/Amp Repair: 231.76 PED
Armor Repair: 19.23 PED
Heal Tool Repair: 1.15 PED

Total Cost: 1,320.94 PED

TT Value Returned: 1,267.65 PED

Net Return (Run): -53.29 PED
TT Return % (Run): 95.97%

Net Return (Total): -820.93 PED
TT Return % (Total): 96.89%


Thoughts: Two globals for 30 PED and 40 PED.

Normally, a run with two tiny globals would have been terrible, but I managed to get multiple small 5-20 ped loots which saved me.

I'm happy with this run. I still feel I'm due for a great run, so very optimistic for tomorrow's run.

Max HP increased to 129.

Notable Loots: None.

I still have no brain.

I'm surprised to see that you actually have positive tt return on some of your runs.

I have done mission stage I on the lower maturity which gave me a profit of 80 ped.
Then (just like you) i heard about higher maturity spawn and went there from that point forward. I have done stage II + III in that area and am down over 2k ped. Every single run came back 50-70% tt return (no joke). My last global took me 1900 ped of ammo te get and it was a 85 pedder, the only run in a long time where my tt returns were over 95%!

So something works for you that doesn't work the same way for me, I can honestly say that I wish my account was created the time you created yours because your returns seem a gazillion times better than my own.

I'm sorry to hear that sunnybear. I do hope you have a nice HoF coming to help get some of that back.

I went to bed last night at 10875/12000, and I'm going to do the repeatable 60k quest. At that point, if the brain still hasn't dropped for someone, I'm going to have to decide whether I want to repeat the quest or just move on.

I really want to hunt some mutated nusul, and am getting bored with Zadul, so having a hard time deciding between continuing to grind for the brain vs. enjoying myself.

Notable Loots: None.

Gz on green run :)
I think you should continue,brains can be in net zadul :)

You're probably right. Mutated Nusul sound super fun to me, but for now, I should keep trying for the zadul brain.

Currently 30010/60000 - Zadul IFN Challenge Stage VI - Incomplete

Ammo Spent: 1,329.03 PED (Exact - Universal Ammo used)
Limited Weapon Decay: 95.50 PED (Includes MU)
UL Weapon/Amp Repair: 309.08 PED
Armor Repair: 23.85 PED
Heal Tool Repair: 1.45 PED

Total Cost: 1,758.91 PED

TT Value Returned: 1,772.83 PED

Net Return (Run): +13.92 PED
TT Return % (Run): 100.79%

Net Return (Total): -1,073.41 PED
TT Return % (Total): 96.78%


Thoughts: Three globals for 65 PED, 54 PED, and 73 PED. That being said, if globals for the maturities I was hunting had a basement of 15 PED, I'd have had 20 globals easily. TONS of mini multipliers.

The 60k mission is much quicker than I thought it would be. Stalkers give 35 points, and even the level 12 mobs give around 20 points (don't remember the exact number, but it's close). I think this mission would have been much longer to complete when there were only low maturities available. Of course, the previous 12,000 kills mission would have been much quicker if I hadn't hunted the high maturities, so I guess it evens out.

I find that I'm getting between 7k and 8k points/hour.

So I did some math using the statistics from the first five stages. Actually, I excluded statistics from stages I and II because stage I entirely and stage two partially included smaller maturity Zadul. I also excluded one hunting session from round V when I used partial Universal Ammo and partial BLP Packs. I took the remainder of the data to determine average ammo cost/kill when using both Universal Ammo and BLP Packs. In the end, this will allow me to get a good estimate on how many BLP Packs were looted on average for each BLP run.

But, for now, it allowed me to determine that the average (ammo only) cost when using Universal Ammo is 1.346165 PED per high maturity Zadul kill. Knowing this, I was able to estimate that I killed about 987 Zadul this run.

So, on high maturity, Zadul stage VI takes a little under 2,000 Kills.

Notable Loots: None.

I still have no brain.

Edit: Max HP Increased to 131.

Your grinding is impressive,Keep it up ;)
 
Its good to see one more green run:) I see that you are calculating mob price to kill.do you count all cost or just ammo?Im strugling to make argonaut young-adult kill in less than 1 ped. So far i managed 1.05.Maybe you remember what was your kill cost for one argonaut if you were hunting low maturity ones ?:)

Actually, my average Zadul kill cost is probably ~1.73 PED each. I can't say for certain because I'm halfway through a run so there's some partial results (stopped half way to repair and offload animal hide) that skew it.

The cost in my previous post was just how much ammo was being spent per kill, but didn't include other costs.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep a spreadsheet of my first hunting log (10K argos) so I don't know the exact cost/kill, but I remember it being around 1-1.1 PED each, so I think you're doing well.

Passed my 20,000th Zadul kill this run.

BLP Sniper (Hit) - Level 42

After mission reward, Max HP Increased to 132, Courage +396 to 3026, Evader Level + 0.28 to 21.60.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a 24 hour wait to pick up stage VI again.

Not sure if I should continue grinding Zadul without a mission or go work on mutated nusul.

Notable Loots: Rouge (Cardinal) - 5.00 PED
