As some of you might have noticed I am back in game after a long break. It has been really fun talking to a bunch of old friends here and convince one of them to make the mistake to invite me into his society. I figured I would start keeping a log again since numbers are fun.

I have reached a point where I am comfortable hunting. Around 100dps and mobs that cost 2-3-4-5-6 PED to kill are able to make the balls glow, can be challenging if I want to and if I slap on proper plates I can take part in team hunts on bigger ones. Right now my focus is on feffox, feffoids and roaches but I'd happily take suggestions on other mobs.

Goals are:
- Enjoy myself
- Unlock commando with laser sniper and then move on to the second highest combat skill and so on and so forth.
- 90% TT return. Cycling 2000 peds keeps me entertained a couple hours and losing 200 any given night is alright since that is what I spend most days on alcohol and cigarettes.

Tracking:
- I will be rounding everything to nearest full ped for simplicity
- I will only count MU if it is big because I ain't saving up millions of extractors just to save a ped or try to sell MF chips in PA. Loot has barely no MU anymore.
- I will only track TT on gear I use since I intend to only use UL gear as soon as possible. Any MU would be considered a "fun fee" since the only reason would be temporarily higher DPS or protection.

Profits on good days goes to CLD or Unreal tokens since my compet investment turned out so well.

Gear:
For weapons I will use Zorras as soon as someone buys my sword. Untill then LR55 and Power Claw ME

Armor:
Viceroy and serpent scales does the trick. L plates when I want to gamble.

Healing:
Restoration Chip 3 and FAP90. Thinking of getting adjusted or 110 for nostalgia. Restoration Chip will be an adjusted as soon as possible.

I think that is it. Wish me luck!
 
Monday March 3rd:

Ammo spent: 1900PED
Weapon decay: 106PED
Tool decay: 17PED
Armor decay: 25PED

Total spent: 2048
Loot: 2101
Result: +53

Mob of choice was feffox young to provider. Wrote in soc chat that I was going to track so MA boosted my loot.

Three L items looted and all of them useless.
 
March 4th

Kept going with the feffox but everyone was swirling but me. Refuse to calculate return percentage tonight.

Ammo: 2000Ped
Armor: 23PED
Tools: 14PED
Weapons: 115PED

Total expenses: 2152PED
Loot: 1621PED
Result: -531PED

Don't worry MU will pull you out.

It will! I got a phasing something that had a full ped of MU!

I am not overly worried. Things like this happens. A couple weeks ago I had a 1.8k and 1.1k hof on feffoids in less than an hour and something like that might just happen again.

So far I only cycled 4200 PED and I am down 478 which puts me at 88.6% which isn't that far from the 90% goal I have.
 
Began with my daily trox.... They are cheap as intercourse. Got back to feffs and got a couple swirlyhoos that saved me. Is there any decent screen grabbing software still?

52 armax
63 trox
204 feff
210 feff

Ammo: 2000Ped
Wep: 115ped
Armor: 18ped
Tools: 6 ped

Spent: 2239ped
Return: 1989ped

Gonna sort it out when I am sober tomorrow. Buy inching closer to 90
 
unfortunately we already know the end of the story. nothing holds in this game, all the loots and returns are already programmed, the filling is up to the deposit, then it's a free fall without a parachute, until you take out the card again

When I came back I started selling off old stuff and loot was great. Then one night I decided to deposit.

I don't believe in conspiracies but yeah. It changed
 
Kept going with feffox.

Swirling 61, 55, 88 and 145.

Ammo: 2000ped
Armor: 22ped
Weapons: 117ped
Tools: 9ped

Total out: 2148
Loot: 1839
Equals: Negative 309

Restock, Finnish Codex and hit the feff pit
 
So summarize:

Run 1: 2048 out, 2101 in, +53, 102.7%
Run 2: 2152 out, 1621 in, -531, 75.3%
Run 3: 2239 out, 1989 in, -250, 88.8%
Run 4: 2148 out, 1839 in, -309, 85.6%

Total: 8587 out, 7550 in, -1037, 87.9%

I will add the fifth run on Sunday since my loot window bugged out yesterday. Tonight I am going to drown my sorrows so I can keep justifying this the next week. "If I could spend $500 partying a few bucks here is no issue".

I will probably cycle about 10k more before I switch to smaller mobs unless someone buys my Arcspark so I can get an UL rifle. The MU on limited items add up.

I bought a 2.7k TIR rifle yesterday. That was insanely fun. I was hitting 450+ damage crits at the end and had crazy DPS along with my area ring and candy canes. 10/10 would recommend.
 
with ai dailies only you will compensate much more you losses with uniammo from mission (~5% tt cost is back in reward)

I need to check that. I haven't put much effort into looking but tried the TI ones but the mobs would require me to get a new set of armor and plates. I am kind of tired of feffox now and the next codex reward is boring so might try it on Sunday when I am back home.

the outcome remains the same, missions or not, a few ped d'ammo you don't go very far, especially with ridiculous feedback.

If it is even a few percent it should make a difference. Once I summed up yesterday we are well above 10k and I've only kept track for four days 😅
 
Ammo 1300
Weapons 75
Armor 13
Tool 4

Total out: 1392
Total in: 943

-449 and fancy TT return of 67,7%
 
Ammo 2000
Weapon 107
Armor 17
Tools 10

Total out 2134
Total in 1980
Net -154
Tt return 92,8%

Which is what I am looking for. Swirlyhoos for 270, 55, 119 and 58 Ped.

New rifle. New run. I feel the Hof is coming
 
Some changes for tonight.

Weapon will be a Isis LC-60 CDF with a Mayhem Gamma and extender until I find a delta.

Armor stays same, Viceroy and Serpent Scales but I will tier it and slap on some enhancers because I am getting bored of these mobs.

I bought an Augmented Ares ring the other day, gonna try for a decent authentic asap.

The FAP90 will be switched out to something else despite the nostalgia. The restoration chip is great even though it is L but I need to do some skilling to get at least a 5 until I can afford an adjusted.

I put my Arcspark and Power law ME on auction yesterday, both att tt+0. Hopefully I don't screw myself by doing this but I need to go UL as soon as possible. If you happen to know someone with a decent tier Zora's HK or high tier Ranked Scorpion, let me know.

Came here with a positive update but MA spent less on their forums than I did on wordpress sites so it took about.... 23 minutes at the moment.

Well. Tonight was a good night with a lot of swirls. 51, 51, 52, 70, 143, 148, 186 and 402 for siwrlies and then a 835 ped hof.

Ammo: 5,000
Weapons: <1
Tools: 16
Armor 54
Total: 5070

Total loot: 5569
Result: +499
TT: 109.8%

So despite two bigass swirls, and three mediums we are not far off from actually losing. This must be adjusted loot 4.0?
 
You got lucky or hit your peak? 🤣

Never view runs based on globals, those are just payback for earlier losses. 😕

Bigger the total wider the gap sadly.

Feffox are quite expensive, the ones I kill cost 4-15 ped each. The small globala need to come regularly for any kind of reasonable return. They seem very volitale though. I need to do some matharoos on the totals again.

Small sample sizes tend to make anything volatile. 👍

Indeed which is why tracking is helpful.

Closing in on cycling 20k since I started this and mainly done the same mob. Probably around 2,500 kills isn't huge but it isn't just 10 kills either.

Will download that tracking tool from woody tonight.

From experience, large fillings are synonymous with long losses afterwards. This is where the game loses all credibility, once again I have no certainties
but I think the returns are controlled individually.
