Big game hunting as always been costly for me, so I've decided to take a new approach. I'll be hunting smaller mobs than my usual prey while using more a more economical setup. I'd like to see how differing hunting styles can affect return over cost. No more big gambling, so let's see how careful hunting changes everything!

I'll also be carefully collecting daily tokens by only completing missions that fit within the parameters of how I'm hunting. 50x Falx for 3 tokens just doesn't cut it, as an example. But 2 tokens for killing 50x Mermoth is more reasonable.

I'm dumping DPS to boost my eco, so instead of my usual powerful Hotfoot amps I'll be using an a203. The cost of an a203 is minimal investment for much better eco. This will also apply to the (L) weapons I'll be using (whether Daily CDF weapons or low MU auction weapons). I'll also stick to my primary skill of Laser Sniper to use range to minimize agro and hits taken.

I'll primarily stick to mobs like Atrox and Feffoids, since they are known to have decent, consistent loot.

*Highly disappointing run, couldn't even get ammo back in the MU return. Still positive overall... by 4 PED :D

I understand these runs are over a few 2-3 days, but holy crap your loot sells quick. Are you selling to auction BO, or just estimating MU?
 
Could you include a run total +/- as well as an Overall one? that confused me for a minute or three.
 
Just lucky day....i got +500ped in 2 days on argo young. After it - only 0 or little 10-15ped +:)

I got a wholesale buyer usually, but if I'm unable to - I'll underestimate the MU and will update as necessary :laugh: truth be told, I'm more interested in the TT returns. And since what I'm hunting rarely drops anything of much MU, the TT is enough to really see the loot swings. So far, only one run has not returned my ammo. Not bad!

The biggest hit to my totals are the runs where I need to purchase weapons from auction. But by the time the gun breaks, it usually evens out. I try to buy lower TT weapons, like 25% condition, because those often have MU costs under the average.

However, the runs where I can spend my daily tokens will be huge for my returns. Whenever I get 20 Token dailies, I usually end up spending 5 PED in ammo and getting 6 PED back. Which means that a 100 Token gun, ie: M83 CDF, are more than free. Over 5 Bonus missions, I usually break even or gain 1 PED. Which means the gun is free or maybe costs me -1 PED (the game pays ME 1 PED to take the gun) :D

Ah yes, I didn't even think about that - I will update that now!

Yeah, I guess they can't always be awesome :laugh:

No weapon decay?
 
Could you make a note of the mob you hunted each run ? :)

Yeah it's almost 99% Atrox right now. The only deviation, for now, is when I pick up a good daily mission. If its a bonus daily, that costs about 5 PED of the 1000 PED in ammo. If it's something like Daily Mission 2: Mermoth, it may be more like 100 PED of the 1000 PED. I'll start notating which mob gave me the daily tokens. If I deviate from Atrox significantly, I'll also note that :D

Soooo....

Any updates to this?

Kind of got sidetracked hunting Vanguards which is very un-eco haha - plus I had to swap back to normal gear. Didn't want it to add it to this log.

Also, haven't hunted much lately :laugh:
