As some of you know I took a break from the game at the end of January 2019 after buying a FEN Mace and some Adj Jag Armour, I think the stress was too much to try and buy the gear 'and' have a bankroll to play at the same time. Add to that a good decade+ of struggling in game financially (even though I had some great times), so my trust in the system didn't quite match the belief in the new items. I wanted too believe I really did, but I guess I wasn't ready to believe even though the weapon stats were superb based on enropia wiki. So all it took was some bad first runs, and I thought here we go again.
Roll on three months; I paid off those items in real life and I was ready to have another go at hunting with a fresh mindset, clean credit card and new plans to try and make some progress.
Anyway I've been thinking, do I write a thread or not....mmmmmm. Part of me doesn't want to tempt fate, but I'm an honest guy; so good or bad news I felt I owed it to the community to add an update.
I took on board monitoriing returns, not just daily results. I took on board looking for mobs that might have some MU to help me. After I finished Atrox Bronze and 30K Feffox, which I just had to do on a personal level.
I set myself play time and break times. Do 2 or 3 full maces, log off and walk away for an hour or so...relax do the washing up or something.
Anyway after finishing Atrox and Feffox, I added a new hunting budget and started tracking.
Are you ready for this..!!!!!!
Between 8th May and today 15th May I've run 38 full maces with 6 amp and with some MU on oils etc, I'm roughly even. About 40 ped down, nothing to complain about.
My mace is 500 ped TT and it burns about 135 ped amp 6 (roughly)
So thats about 38 x 500+135 = 24130 ped turnover in 8 days roughly.
As I said I don't want to tempt fate, so I'm not going to run a forum tracker for now. I want to give it 6 months, see how it goes.
There's no amount of ped anyone could offer me for that mace right now.
I just to say this for those that were used to running IMK2 and Mod Mercs for the last decade, it's very hard for players that have never used the kit to believe, when we were running much much worse without stats. I ran a valor non sib sword for my first couple of years in EU.....how bad eco was that compared with a IMK2!!!
So I thank MA for open stats they put on weapons, and I also thank MA for new SIB weapons with amazing stats. I feel there's a future for the game. There certainly feels like a future worth skilling for.
I'll finish by saying, I so hope I haven't nerfed my ava writing this. Cross finger.
Happy hunting out there.
