Tenunded's mining log

Nice log, just one suggestion, you are including amp markup in your TT. So all your percentages are off by a little bit.

He's also including excavator decay iirc, but I don't blame him for wanting to simplify his tracking. A few runs on FOMA and I get lazy too :ahh:

Hmm yeah, that's a good point. I'll phase out amp MU from future entries. Contemplating 'refreshing' the beginning overall tracker, i.e. leaving the old figures there for recording purposes but then adding a new overall sum labelled 'Pure TT aggregate log' or something similar. Then recalculating the old sums waaaay down the line for a more accurate representation.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Just the thought of all that extra tracking though :(
Then again, my log's more/less pure TT so I'll be getting into that habit too to stay faithful to the foundational intentions. Thanks for the heads up.
 
Run #17 (27-27/04) - Arkadia Underground

Been busy all day but still felt like doing some mining. Since it's a bit late, will stop if the returns are blegh. Will mark down where I stop if that's the case (it's a short run either way)

TT spent: 360 (3 x L7 amp) + 90 (Survey Probes) + 2.46 (finder decay) = 452.46
TT return: 109.60
TT returns for this run: 24.22% (-342.86)
Additional costs: Excavator decay (<1 PED - forgot to note hah...) + Amp MU (3 x 8)


Amp #1 (Fire Crystal --> N, W then S to Dead End) <-- Thanks to a bad start, my run has temporarily come to a...dead end)
- 48.00 Melchi (XII)

Amp #2 (Rockfall to Crossroads)
- Completely dead amp

Amp #3 (Wonderland to Eastern Wall)
- 61.60 Erdorium (XIII) <-- And so, my 39 drop dry streak is shattered...by a completely unremarkable find

Final notes
- For the most part, I have no idea what the resource distribution is like in the AU, so I'm resorting to using earlier mining as a reference (AKA mostly bombing random places and hoping for the best). This is also kinda archival in a way, and I hope it helps some other slightly less unfortunate soul out there ;)
- Damn the HOF board for mining looks depressing
- What a horrendously bad run...the sad part is I can't even call it 'dry' because I found water :dunno:

Run #18 (27-/04) - All over Ark)


Perhaps the secret is to switch back to planetside mining!? Ehh, at least I'll hemorrhage PED a bit slower

Thanks for the well wishes! :)

(Also a heads up, my reservations are *usually a bit ahead of my actual mining so I'll be editing them in as I go along)

Run #22 (01/05) - Planet Calypso Planetside

TT spent: 480 (4 x L7 amp) + 120 (Survey Probes) + 3.28 (finder decay) =
TT return: 479.27
TT returns for this run: *fill in whenever + update front page*
Additional costs: Excavator decay (1.54) + Amp MU (1 x 6 + 3 x 8)

Amp #1 (OLA #57)
- Kanerium (10)
- Cave (62.01) <-- Included a large. Thought this was worth pointing out considering the apparent rarity of multipliers these days ;-;
- Iron (14.04)
- Garcen (39.10)
- Typo (9.75)
- Gazz (22.75)

Amp #2 (OLA #56 - 7, remainder = randomly south of Oshiri Hearts)
- Spontaneously decided that amp by amp breakdowns of resources planetside is too tedious, hence:

Amp #3 (OLA #44 + 46, 10 ea)

Amp #4 (OLA #43)

Resource list (post-run)
- 23.36 Acid
- 9.75 Typo
- 43.50 Gazz
- 54.40 Duru
- 10.00 Kane
- 24.24 Melchi
- 12.50 Dianum
- 34.77 Lyta
- 17.00 Cald
- 24.70 Niks
- 62.01 Cave
- 5.17 Devil's
- 29.75 Mage
- 8.00 Zinc
- 76.80 Garc
- 19.20 Azur
- 14.04 Iron
- 10.08 Narc

Final notes
- TT profit, however occasional, remains elusive ;-;
- The last amp's hitrate was horrendous. Clearly not the best area to be mining at the time, but got roped in by a promising double claim start

Run #23 (02/05) - Planet Calypso Planetside/FOMA?

TT spent: 360 (3 x L7 amp) + 90 (Survey Probes) + 2.46 (finder decay) =
TT return: 286.39
TT returns for this run:
Additional costs: Excavator decay (1.04) + Amp MU (1 x 7 + 2 x 8)

Amp #1 (OLA #47) --> Amp #2 (OLA #47 --> OLA #43) --> Amp #3 (OLA #43, a couple on the way back to Oshiri TP)

Resource list

- 30.10 Igni
- 21.75 Gazz
- 62.75 Ali
- 8.10 Typo
- 18.24 Azur
- 20.28 Solis
- 10.40 Zinc
- 17.50 Angelic
- 19.20 Cumb
- 12.10 Terru
- 12.00 Copper
- 33.63 Lyta
- 20.54 Ares

Final notes
- Think I'll switch over to hunting for a bit. Been considering working on my swordsmanship for a while now. If I can, I'll try and keep a brief log of TT in/out. At least I won't have to keep track of ammo ;)
- Completely forgot to do my last two drops on the way back to Oshiri as was my original intention. Decided to drop them on Pemphredo Island instead. Thankfully they were both NRF's (am I actually saying this!?) so the log was unaffected

Tentative hunting notes:
TT in: Weapon (66 + 54 + 24.47 + 24.06 + 64.19 + 15 [TT blade, will be selling back at the end at adding to TT out]) + Armour decay (13.04) + FAP decay (0.46) + Amp decay (33.44)
+ MU: 3 + 1.53 + 2.94 + 2.81 + 3 (L weapons)
TT out: 20 (weapon cells) + 358.38

^somehow messed up and left out a whole blade. Tracking hunting is tough :(
Think I'll stop tracking my returns there until I go back to mining to stop this log getting even more messy.

@ New Switzerland (Argo's, 4.9% tax)
TT sword being used as finisher
Notes - 50 PED global on my first kill. *weak laughter*
Using an Aeglic Ring (L) and Athenic Ring adjusted

Yes, it's an unamped run!

Final notes

Here you go buddy, AU resource distribution. I must say from my own experience that it is pretty accurate. You need an Ark forum account to see the page.

http://arkadiaforum.com/threads/arkadia-underground-mining-map.10460/

38 No hit streak is nothing man, you can easily go 100 double drops with 0 claims indoors, just the way it is. Expect to do anywhere from 5k-10k drops total before you hit something "big" I'd say.

Best of luck.

Woah thanks for that ZPF. Bookmarked :D
Yeah I know a big no hit streak is nothing for indoor mining. My PB is around 60 myself from memory, so I guess that's one of the areas where I've been a bit fortunate. They also stand out a bit less in longer runs, which I'm just not doing at the moment. Hoping to look into doing some soon.
