There's times when I can hardly play, there are aweful times when my computer is broken. And there are times like these, at the end of the year, when I got all the time on my hands to do 12 hunts in a day. So, in other words, it's time for another update again.
First up, a few other hunts. I got a daily on Turp,
thinking this is gonna be easy. I see on my log that I've hunted them last time at Corinth Hangars. Yet now, I kill way more Maffoid then Turp, so let's change position. Mission talks about Camp Phoenix. There are too many Cornundacauda and Berycleds here. Now, at least they're easier, but at did took me almost 2 hours from start to finish to complete a Turp Daily of killing 50 lol.
On the day that I wanted do my 12 hunts, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep, nothing I tried helped. So I did a hunt pre-12h MatW on Punies.
The first 12h-MatW was on punies too, with a TT-sword this time. Followed on almost the same location with a daily on Snablesnots.
Next up, Daily 2 on Nexnecis. Oi, they are a lot stronger in maturity then last time – wich was over 4 years ago! And so I died on the 1st kill lol, and many more besides. It took me a lot longer to get through this Daily, and I stopped at 40/60 kills.
Then I went to Boreas to hunt Drones. Oh yeah, I wanted to do robot types mostly this day, well not too late to start that on hunt #4. Woot! First profit (and global) of the day! Fun fact too: There's a small spot of Turps just outside the building, that could have saved me a lot of trouble two days ago.
Trooper was next, but here the loot got bad again.
I used two weapons from now on for all these hunts. Shagadi Sword and Songkra Dagger, using one on this hunt and the other on the next.
For the next hunt I wanted to do Miner Bots, but I found these Warriors first, so this hunt is on Warriors and next one on Miner Bots. Also, on a completely different topic, I'm back to picking a random skill for Codex reward. Just do best progress on every 5th rank. I got a small profit thanks to 2 near-globals, hurray! The Miner Bots themselves were pretty good too, I can say that I broke even on this hunt with the MF chip that I looted.
I wasn't happy with leaving Nexnecis at 40/60 kills for Daily, so I returned after dinner to finish them.
Hunts #8 & #9 were not much to note. One on Droka and the other on Harbingers.
I flew over Legionnaires on my way to the Droka. I totally forgot that they are a thing! I'm very glad that I got to them now, because it's finally something really good! And what's with all the MF chips, lol?! At the end of this hunt I looted 6 items, 5 of them are MF chips lol.
There's got to be a most terrible hunt as well, and that honour goes to: Eviscerator! It was just plain aweful. Also, maybe getting swarmed by them and desperately clinging on with healing like a madman is not the best tactic either.
I always had the idea of ending the 12 hours Mêlée all the Way this time on Second Entities. Wait, what? This is my first hunt on Second Entity since Codex?!, ie. MatW sept.17. I got another MF chips on the second kill, and a small global at end of first word. The other hunts I would stop at some point (when I finished a craft beer and went to the fridge for the next sample), yet now I continued on till the darkness of night. I've also spend a lot of time figuring out what kind of armour to use. I tried Gremlin, Shogun, Thunderbird and Martial with 6A and 6B (wich might have happened to become 5B and 5D). I got pretty frustrated with all the ninja's and such, and then a nice global of 267 hit! I was pressing on with one more round of Shagadi Sword for one last global … but that never came. It was a break from using Shagadi on one hunt and the Songkra on the other. I was also breaking with going 100% mêlée, because I was using my Camo Arms Jungle Stalker to tag these monsters. They are just so damn hard for me, and all I was hunting were the baby Gen 01!
The next day I was going for a 2nd Second Entity (pun intended) hunt to get Rank 3 Codex and, maybe that elusive last global too? Nope, no new global but I did enjoy getting another MF chip, because of course I would!
And last, but not least, I got a cute global on a Puny lol.
Goals:
85. Finish The Order of the Elder Gods (
2 of 4).
86. Get to level 30 Robot Looter (
27.72 of 30.00). Up by ~0.2 for on day of good robot hunting. Repeat this 15 days and I got it in the pocket.
88. Finish "I've got a bone to pick!" (
9.496 of 10.000).
90. Finish The Supreme Traeskeron Slayer (
2.703 of 30.000)
96.
Completed! Max-out Genesis Sparkbite, E.L.M Edition (L) (27). I did it, on the last hunt of the 12 hunts/Mêlée al the Way! Big thanks to the Swordmasters "Second Entity"! I bow to you, my Lord!
98.
New! Max-out Cryogenic Attack Nanochip 10 (L) (
25 of 31). I've looted this one over 3 years ago on Korwil, and it's about time that I'm maxing this one and can use it. But then, I'm making the same mistake with the dagger I've looted during the 12h-MatW on Second Entity, that I'm also far away from maxing and wich is now stored in Storage, along with another that I've looted in March of '22 on Maffoid.

For now, my plans are to focus first on those 10.000 Bone Samples. Then off to Monria for another try at the Chapters, with the Sparkbite that I've now maxed-out. After that? Maybe start doing some MF hunting again, or bot hunt, or both, or neither lol.
This still seems so far away, but it's a nice goal to have in mind!
And for now, in closing: Best wishes for 2025! May all the loot belong to you (and me, of course most of the loot for Ard)!
