1. Keep track of your average MU.
2. Keep shooting. (This is a bit of a cliche, but since "cycles" are so long, it is valid)
3. Test different things.
I hate it how players don't understand how to work out the average markup from what gets sold and then don't even keep track of it or keep an eye out.
As ferial says, there are very few of us that will be honest with you. People have been telling folks to go farm android gears (which ultimately lowers the MU on the mob, to then allow them to craft very cheap D-Class). You will need to set your own goals and achieve your success with your own path.
The path of the successful is a journey not yet taken.
Vixens are profitable, but noone knows how to do it correctly. Except me of course but my play style sadly isn't to everyone's cup of tea.
The secret ingredient to "profiting at a low level" is free electricity. /s
I already have free electricity and gas so I guess I am already in profit before playing, I broke EU
50ped cycled isnt enough to gauge profiting off any activity in EU gotta grind a massive sample size to compare any results.
It is on the mob in question. But because everyone preaches about high efficiency, profits go out the window.
so 7% loot doesnt matter in the long run? or, as you said, 1 pec?
1 pec per mob?
whats 10 000 mobs then?
That is 100 ped. So that 1 pec does make a difference, unless he meant 0.0001 pec. Which I think he did.
how do i profit hunting snabelsnots?
You can't profit off Snablesnot anymore, as MA nerfed Orange Can drops by making it a wave drop. You can possibly break even but I haven't tried it in a very long time now to be sure. But, if you can find the wave "interval" and high DPS, you can most defintely profit for sure, otherwise hunt Jori instead.
You need to do the AI daily as well, add what you get from that to the 50 PED cycle and you should at least break even I think.
With the AI Daily quest, I was easily making somewhere around, 115-116%?
Good thoughts. I remember a time when they were 900-1000%. So its not a matter of sample size. But the markup simply isn't there anymore, due to too many people hunting these punies.
I am stupefied people are still hunting them if they aren't profitable like people have said or at least breaking even
.
so $5 and a few hundred kills (less than an hour?) and you're not in the profit zone? I'm Stupified!
And here I was wasting all those thousands of hours in the restricted section looking for the one obscure reference to a horcrux only to spend years mastering how to effectively make it work.
Any mob you can't profit off 50-100 ped isn't a mob worth hunting imo or at least for you to figure out the average markup.
Why.. Just why. Why care about profit on these… it’ll be hard to lose or make more than $50 a year..
So you're saying that it is next to impossible to even make 500 ped profit of Vixens in 1 year? Challenge accepted! Profit thread incoming
