This is another way for MA to encourage us to cycle our peds. For a mid level player like myself you get 3 daily hunting missions. Some Cat 3 daily hunting missions I can't do like Chomper or Proteron and tbh the Hogglo dailies are doable but I am taking heavy decay and having to FAP a lot. On the flipside yesterday I got Hispidous which was comfortable to do and there plenty of other Cat 3 dailies that I have no problem with.
What does this all mean, well my sons avatar is currently maxed on on the Kallous-2 and he finds it very difficult to obtain guns at his level and he does not depo enough to justify cycling the peds for daily mission tokens, so I agree there is a gap in the market for anyone who does not cycle enough ped to replenish weapons using daily mission tokens.
In all honesty I would not be able to carry on like this if I relied on the the dailies to provide all the guns I need except that I have been skilling melee now for over a year so most of my Cat 1 and 2 dailies can be done using an UL SIB melee weapon leaving the guns I get from the daily tokens for doing cat 3 and any other "maxed" out events I do. This whole set-up worked fine until the most recent rounds of the WOF where my team have been out on each of the last 3 weekends. The result of this is, this weekend I have a pistol but not a rifle to compete in the event. So MA are encouraging players to cycle the ped to obtain daily mission tokens. Lets look at this :
Cat 1 Daily - Depending on Mob 25 to 50 ped in ammo (cycled) - (not counting decay)
Cat 2 Daily - Depending on Mob 50 to 100 ped in ammo (cycled) - (not counting decay)
Cat 3 Daily - Depending on Mob 200 to 300 ped in ammo (cycled) - (not including decay)
Get the Crystals Daily - 15 feffs in the cave around 35 ped in ammo (cycled) - (not including decay)
so each day to obtain a maximum of 7 tokens 300 to 500 ped in ammo (cycled) - (not including decay)
Every 12 days (not including bird bonus's) I can get a new gun at my level but I have to cycle 3500 to 5800 ped in ammo to get this free gun. If I just used the daily token guns I would always be running out of weapons and so would still have to buy more.
I agree there are many other variables here, looted weapons (usually not at your level), the above is just a rough outline of the potential costs. So without my UL SIB sword I could not make this a playing style. My comments are quantified by the current MU values of of UL SIB swords. Just look at the MU trend on the Lokabuh and Kulohar Swords which are what anyone skilling swords will need to use when they have spent a few months on one of the old UL TT Ancient Greece Swords.
Without the daily missions I would not cycle this much ped, the tokens are almost addictive and yesterday I realised this. This weekend our next WOF match is due and I have 43 tokens with two days to go so without a birdie bonus I wont hit the 60 tokens for a new rifle which means I will have to deposit to buy a new rifle.
Due to RL I am now unable to play in the WOF match this weekend and although I am disappointed to be missing the hunt in some ways I am relieved that I do not have to depo more money for this match. Before I got hooked on the dailies I would never cycle that much ped, I would be frugal, try and pick up a nice trade deal or do some low level hunting solo or with my disciple, or son.
So my lesson to myself is stick with my UL SIB sword and do cat 1 and 2 dailies to keep a nice pistol and nice rifle just for special events such as the WOF.
Jeez I do go on a bit
GL to all
