Sooo...

Will continue here, a lock has been requested to the old thread. I never thought I would actually manage to log more than two weeks at most, and with the fancy tables, it became hard to continue in that thread. So here comes another one, please give me time to reserve the two next posts after this one.

Setup changed a bit during april, and the current one is:

T6 Vincent DPS LR37 TEN
A105 Improved
Earth Shock Trooper

The idea is to run the vincent with accuracy enhancers to increase the crit rate and the ES armor to add damage to those crits. Ideal is to kill all mobs before they reach me, but since this can get quite boring I decided to leave a little room for armor decay. As long as the armor cost does not overweigh the benefits of it, I'm good.

Tables with returns for May will be posted in post #2 in this thread, returns from June in post #3. The numbers from April can be found at https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?273049-Whining-s-Profitable-Hunting-Log . The months will be added below as they pass.

This month, I will make all hunts trackable in order to get as big amount as possible cycled for the log.

I dont get it. Despit two globals that is the outcome. Just don't get it. Without the late one I'd be completely screwed. Was 100% certain I was going green after that one. :(

Good point.

I'll rename it to "Whining's log of devastating losses" and see if it turns around. :yup:
 
You're getting a beautiful 2.961 damage/pec with that weapon/amp. I'm not familiar with the armor, but your costs don't see too bad. FAP costs seem high, but not enough to explain the loss on the runs.

Sometimes you can get two decent globals, but if you don't have a few mini multipliers you can still end with a loss :/

Well, I'm doing lazy hunting at the moment, could probably get the defensive costs to half if I were more focused. Just want to finish off the 1.2k Oweko mission to get my X.XX ped of combat reflexes. After that I'm moving on to smaller or slower mobs and get back in my ES armor for the extra crit damage.

Markup luckily takes care of the last runs losses. :)
 
the tt % differential between maxed imk2 and 2.95dpp (his setup) is 4.29%. So for sub 3dpp setups, finding markup is very important.
 
Got tired of small owekos a short while into the run and decided to team up with a socmate and go have some fun instead. Finishing oweko stage 3 tomorrow, only 380 kills missing now.

I've been hearing several people say hunting has been bad lately on Arkadia. All I can think is the system is saving up for a big ATH.
 
Decided to finish the first stage of Kamaldon as I was halfway through already. Yeah, I know I should not have done it, the mob is too big and the run too small. I was just in a bad mood and the defense cost at 10% tells you how smart it was. But there was a reward....

Okedoke. This time I only have myself to blame. Back to hunting as it was intended when I first started to log.
 
All tables updated. Gained alot more skills than I thought so far. Will be interesting to see how much I gathered once the month is over.

Edit: Turns out, I'll need to cycle about 782,000 before LWT reaches 10k. Hmm. That's roughly two eternities.

So, days when I do more than one run, I'll start having one post and updating that one instead of spamming the shit out of the forum.

Edit:

At this point, after adding up the losses, I need to let some stuff sell and markup catch up. I'll resort to hunting at a lower level for the next couple days. Returns for this month are 90% so far, but I haven't been using the style of play I am supposed to. Thats frikking bullshit. Starting from tomorrow, I'll be doing it properly again.

I find it i bit whack that despite 97.93% TT return I just barely make it above 100% when adding markup. That sucks. I know I have a few hundred ped of markup up on Caly and Ark auction as well as in stacks in storage, but I was hoping for it to be alot greener with this TT return.

Mind you, this is luck. TT return will drop. And I'll be back in red.

While I am not profiting so much from hunting, 2.8 ped per hour on average and solely due to luck, I like the fact that I have manged to stay close to break even. Hopefully, I will hit a big one soon enough, been a long time since the last one (Big rex shared in mars IIRC).
