100 ped loss in 5 runs and its allready depressing ? :D

:D

Just because your returns are depressing, doesn't mean mine arent :silly2:

I need to stop hunting them feffoids since they have no MU except martial parts which are rare. As soon as the 1k mission is done I am switching to small feffox or prot or something. Hmm...

--//--

Looking to upgrade my rifle to one slightly more eco with a bit more range. Should be able to either completely remover armor costs or hunt slightly bigger mobs. If someone just could buy my crappy clubs I'd be set.

Shit. anus. Feffoids suck, no mu in loot. Tried a few other mobs, neconu, longu and some more but have yet to find a fun and huntable mob with this setup that has any mu worth mentioning. Mheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
imo, you should go to ark. Hell, go to rocktropia (OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE I SAID THAT?!)

Stop spinning the calypso no-mu wheel. It's just sad.

I'll give you two options.

Option a)

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.

Option b)

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.


The correct choice is probably

Option (c) keep trying but if something really isn't working, adapt your mob choice, location & even equipment. :)


Good luck in your thread! :sniper:
 
Yeah. I went to PvP instead. Fun for a change but probably taking five dollahs advice and move to ark shortly.

Another bad run. When will I get to see something green again? This is ridicilous. Suuuure! Small sample size but come on.
 
Wrong planet still And 92% is an acceptable range.

Almost 93% seems fine to me as well. Not sure what the problem (besides no markup) is?

That I want a positive run. I'm fine with the returns even though I expected more but would like to see some upswings.

Edit: And yes, I'm leaving Caly. Doing another run on the argos to finish the 1k mission and putting some crap on auction after which I'm giving Arkadia a go.

A reckless run due to multi-tasking it with beer drinking. Horrible decay and defensive costs around 2%. Got to focus or drop the expensive armor. Nonetheless, another green run. Ark seems to like me :)
 
The Red's make the Green's taste sweeter.

Cant have one without the other.

Only takes 1 decent sized HOF to wipe out a lot of Red.

Keep going! :)

True,

At the moment a large global would be enough. However, eyeballing my inventory right now and the markup in there should make up for the 96 ped missing to be at break even. :)
 
This is a sorta screw-eco-dps-ftw run. Took part in fivedollahs event and of course I couldn't hold back. A chunk of it is done eco though, but most is not. Not sure if I should add this or not, as I write this I am still uncertain about returns.

Okedoke

Markups updated. Decided to add the above run to the total, adding a little asterix or something.

While it still looks red, I am certain I am at breakeven, or at least very close. The markup added lags a bit and it will probably be a few months before the lagging portion of it is small enough for it to not have such a huge impact on the numbers.

Last night was interesting; Was able to cycle at 4x my normal pace and the 500+ crits were awesome. As soon as I got markups sorted out I'll see if it would be possible to balance damage and accuracy enhancers.

My rifle sold last night; should have a new one tonight if everything works out. That will make life a bit easier. Lesser costs but increased speed to get the numbers moving.

I am considering daily missions and using tokens for phat amps. Do you guys think that could be counted as a zero decay amp or should loss be calculated based on the amps potential sales price?

Eating a few ped worth of LWT tonight to max the new rifle. After that I'll start tracking each skill individually to grasp skill gains. The professional levels move depressingly slow already.

Cheers!

Suuuuure

Last nights run was with my new toy; T6 Vincent DPS. Idea was to bump eco a bit, chipped in some anatomy to fix up my laser damage profession. Before the run I was about to hit 40, and figured, is two professional levels worth an addition 3k PED that I never will get back...!?

So figured I would do an eco test. With unmaxed damage my eco ended up at 2.940. Which is fucking horrible. I need to buy the last few levels before I go hunting again.

hmm....

Dunno, 2.94 is not bad (if you were not running full acc enhancers and earth shock, then it would mean horrible eco yes).

I would not personally chip the two levels, but would get the biggest L gun I can use and just blast for a week.
(And I know it's hard to let Vincent collect dust in storage, but spending 3k on skills at your level, does not make sense to me)

It was the ES and Enhancers that brought me up to that eco, which is very interesting because I am only two levels from maxing, and hit is already maxed. What does it mean? That SIB is complete BS ---> I am running as eco as on possible can, except for those last few percent of damage.

Imagine some noob picking up a weapon, just entered SIB in both hit and damage: That guy will be playing around with what!? Half the DPP!!?!?! SIB is deceptive.

Well. I am not going to chip, that is for sure. Even though I said I should just ten minutes ago, I really don't want to. So either biggest L gun around, or just going at it. Even though the eco is horrible for the setup, it still seems accetable for most people, so why not.

Bleh.

Table in post #2 will be updated when I'm in a better mood. Yeah, this time i am pissed about reutrn. A bunch of minis and a few globals, I was so frikking certain it was ending green but noooooooooooo.

Mhe, back at it.

Edit: Missed to put a gun in TT, returns adjusted.
 
Second post updated.

I am thinking about taking a short break shortly to let MU catch up. I got way too much stuff in storage that I need to get rid off. I need to see if what I am doing even is working out; Is the markup enough to cover the losses?

If not... Bleh.

Time to switch mob tonight, I *think*.

Edit: Markup in storage adds up to 211 PED.... So screw it.

Since you're on Arkadia maybe try otorugi or beladoth. Not the mutated ones but the normal ones first. I think they had some items worth some MU. Might be a bit of trouble killing them before they hit you but shouldn't be too terrible.

Thank you for the suggestions, will check them out.

Interesting fact; my average markup is 104.87%. I'd need to either raise that too 107.53% or raise tt return to 95.36%. Very small differences that has a huge impact on the net return.

In the end, guns, esis, big ticket item drops are the only things that make hunting profitable (and the skill that you have to include). Everything else is like looting lyst while mining. It helps but not a sustainable farming technique.

Wouldn't mind a small esi at this point. It really isn't much that is missing.

Last night the smugglers entered the underground. After whining about the item flood i got two full tt guns (19x ped each) and felt quite dirty. Sorry about my behavior, got in a better mood after a few beers...

Run was a screw-eco-dps-ftw type of run. Made a big mistake though, which was that I didn't note returns prior to the PvP event. Had issues with crashes and got back in like two minutes before it began.

Not sure how to sort that out; 30 minutes of pew-pew without loot. Guess I could make some sort of assumption, like 750 shots (15 min shooting) and deduct that from the results.

Hmm... I'll update as soon as I get in game. Markup on loot was enough to keep me going for smugglers the rest of the weekend.
 
Skipping last night, too much of a mess. Here goes tonights effort at oratans:

:yay::yay::yay:

Got chunks out of three decent hofs; 400, 700 and 1000 PED. A lot of smaller ones as well. Had problems with crashes yet again, otherwise it would have been even greener since I lost a lot of time on the one where I only got 400.

But.

All green again.

:D:D:D

:thumbup:
 
Just realized... Without hofs I would have been down about 1.1k..... :eyecrazy:

Hmm. Think I'm skipping shared mobs tonight.
 
Ark event over, so back to normal grinding. Made some unlogged hunting last night, just having fun. Guess you need to do that from time to time.

I am looking to switch mob, but there is so many to choose from. The markup from Madanas just isn't enough to keep going. At the same time, I will shortly need a big bunch of tier vii components so wouldn't mind hunting something that drop those.

Same setup as normal, 55dps at 80m. Suggestions for Ark mobs with 500-1000hp are welcome.

I'll be getting some plates for the ES. Splitting decay might be a good idea since I've found myself playing sloppy from time to time. Also considering the armor switching approach, leaving zero decay on the ES. That would however require larger mobs to be fun.

Hmm.
