With the way skill gain works for everything else, decay/TT affects skill gain. As to how much, I don’t think anyone has really quantified that to that degree.Is excavator decay returned in terms of skills?
I really think the law of the Scan apply. Not returned.Is excavator decay returned in subsequent mining? Is it like healing in hunting, but returned with some delay?
That’s essentially how I treat excavator decay. By the time you have enough skill for an adjusted or imp, skill gain from excavating is mostly pointless anyways until you get to the level 50 unlock. Even then, kind of meh. I just wouldn’t plan for major kickbacks in skill gains if you use an uneco excavator and the way claim amounts are setup, costs are already set before you’d pull out the excavator anyways.I think it just get lost in the wind and end either in ma pocket or maybe even partly in the loot pool.
That is a good point I don't think I hit on in this particular thread. You can consider eco in terms of excavators, but it doesn't really give a great ROI to go for an imp excavator unless you have most everything else in your mining setup mostly set already. Amp MU is going to affect returns a whole lot more than excavator decay.Its not about the decay is about saving time imo, i drop 50-60 dclass per day when i play in current meta.
