"Guess & Win" mining log

One question - how many points you have in the minning skills ?

Can't remember skill points right now (I am at work) but I am lvl 44 prospector.
 
Run #14 (100/100)

Ores:
100% @ TT, 113% w. MU

Enmatters:
35% @ TT, 37% w. MU

Total:
76% @ TT, 83% w. MU

Notes:
yikes!!! enmatters went simply extinct during this round! Had 1 find after first 35 drops or so.. and that's on the planet :rolleyes:


Returns after 14 runs

Ores:
97.2% @ TT, 120.5% w. MU

Enmatters:
91.4% @ TT, 111.1% w. MU

Total:
92.2% @ TT, 112.1% w. MU
-271.32 PED @ TT, +434.92 PED w. MU

Tonight I will probably manage to do 2 rounds :yay:
 
I'ts geting closer to my prediction. Good luck tonight !
 
I'ts geting closer to my prediction. Good luck tonight !

thx.. it's luxury for me to drop more than 200 during a weekday because of work. I 'll probably try CND tonight for the first time during this log.
 
Is this still on.. lol I'm getting dizzy because of this heat here .. well if it is, I see reason up my previous estimate a bit - to 227% :D

Gz btw :)

Gz btw :)

are you referring to the tower the 1st day of the log? I excluded this one and started from the beginning so returns are normalized :D
 
Run #15 (500/500): Longer run with even longer losses in CND

Ores:
57% @ TT, 64% w. MU

Enmatters:
63% @ TT, 70% w. MU

Total:
58% @ TT, 65% w. MU

Notes:
That was such a mistake!!! Took my OF-105 and went with confidence to CND that I would get a couple of globies. That was a disaster :D


Returns after 15 runs

Ores:
87.2% @ TT, 106.4% w. MU

Enmatters:
84.3% @ TT, 100.7% w. MU

Total:
83.8% @ TT, 100.4% w. MU
-752.28 PED @ TT, +21.46 PED w. MU

Notes: Essentially that CND trip took away all of YTD winnings.. sooo annoying to blow away everything on the space rock.. but hey.. you knew the risk my friend :lolup:


Run #16 (100/100)

Ores:
127% @ TT, 151% w. MU

Enmatters:
117% @ TT, 189% w. MU

Total:
120% @ TT, 156% w. MU

Notes:
So after the CND drama, I decided to balance things out a bit by trying the high MU pvp4. I haven't been there since before vehicles were implemented. I had a nice round. Got killed while entering the zone but didn't get looted. A small lyst globie, some himi, pyrite and blood moss made the round worth it.


Returns after 16 runs

Ores:
89.1% @ TT, 108.5% w. MU

Enmatters:
85.8% @ TT, 104.9% w. MU

Total:

-706.66 PED @ TT, +156.77 PED w. MU

Notes: Back on the greens :yay:
 
Run #17 (100/100):

Ores:
75% @ TT, 99% w. MU

Enmatters:
48% @ TT, 54% w. MU

Total:
64% @ TT, 81% w. MU

Notes:
Not much really.. part of the run was in PVP4 that generated some good MU returns but the zone was busy so didn't stay there too long :rolleyes:


Run #18 (100/100)

Ores:
100% @ TT, 125% w. MU

Enmatters:
222% @ TT, 239% w. MU

Total:
135% @ TT, 153% w. MU

Notes:
Excellent round!! Had 2 small globals (1 ore and 1 enmatter), which is the first time to get 2 this month. Also got about 2 peds worth of hansidian :D


Returns after 18 runs

Ores:
88.9% @ TT, 108.8% w. MU

Enmatters:
90.1% @ TT, 108.6% w. MU

Total:
86.7% @ TT, 104.4% w. MU
-708.53 PED @ TT, +241.29 PED w. MU

Run #19 (100/100)
Ores:
114% @ TT, 136% w. MU

Enmatters:
109% @ TT, 131% w. MU

Total:
109% @ TT, 128% w. MU

Notes:
Nice solid round at Shinook. Hit rate and claim sizes were above average and together with a 51 gazz pedder 4-5 bombs before the end this turned into straight profit


Returns after 19 runs

Ores:
90.0% @ TT, 109.9% w. MU

Enmatters:
90.9% @ TT, 109.5% w. MU

Total:
87.6% @ TT, 105.4% w. MU
-688.46 PED @ TT, +307.71 PED w. MU

Notes: the contest is almost at an end! I will try to do a few more rounds until the 31st to give a chance to the higher % contestants :D
 
oh.. one more statistic (more detailed ones at the end of the month). Including MU I have spent 5,745 PEDs this month which is an ALL TIME LOW for me :D

I miss big amps.. a few more days to go :yay:
 
i think your going to hit 102.5% :)
goodluck thou!
 
125.1%

good luck :)
 
LOL whoops

guess thats what i get for reading the first and last pages
 
Run #20 (100/100)

Ores:
147% @ TT, 172% w. MU

Enmatters:
81% @ TT, 105% w. MU

Total:
119% @ TT, 138% w. MU

Notes:
Excellent ores round. 1 gazz globie and several VII hits. Wish mining was like that every day. On the negative side, I burned way too many enhancers for 200 drops. I used enhancers up to level III for both finders and burned 5 in total.. a bit too much for such a low amp but oh well.


Returns after 20 runs

Ores:
92.3% @ TT, 112.4% w. MU

Enmatters:
90.5% @ TT, 109.3% w. MU

Total:

-643.23 PED @ TT, +402.69 PED w. MU

Notes: only 2 days left of dropping.. let's see what I can still do :D
 
Even closed to my 108.5% prediction.
Anyway, gl and have fun, witch is the most important :)

Ores:
39% @ TT, 85% w. MU

Enmatters:
128% @ TT, 281% w. MU

Total:
66% @ TT, 141% w. MU

Notes:
I wanted to make a nice pvp4 round of 200 drops but it was way too busy. I bumped onto 7-8 GDs and a PD (soc mate) :laugh:. I only managed to drop 50/50. Luckily there were no deaths :D. TT return especially for ores was terrible but the type of resources I got back more than worth it ;)


Returns after 21 runs

Ores:
91.2% @ TT, 111.9% w. MU

Enmatters:
91.3% @ TT, 112.7% w. MU

Total:

-683.58 PED @ TT, +452.83 PED w. MU

Notes: one day left. On Sunday I will probably summarize the more detailed statistics of the month. If not Sunday, then Monday :cool:
 
So, the contest is over... unfortunately I don't have excel on this computer to summarize my last 400 drops, but really not that much has changed.. maybe the person above or below has won but I dont expect a big fluctuation.

well, it was god fun.. more tomorrow...

now I go to burn some big amps :yay:

-790.70 PED @ TT, +484.78 PED w. MU


and the winner is...................


Virot Thedarksnw Maglan: 107.4%

that is simply awefully close... Well done :yay:

I will be reaching out to the winner to hand out the prize; 200 PEDs worth of OA-101s.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest, read my posts, responded as well as repped. For me personally it was great fun this month even though I was struggling from time to time to hold myself from not using bigger amps :D

I actually liked this month so much that I am thinking about repeating at some point after August holidays.. this time I am thinking about 103s though :)

For those of you interested in more statistics stay tuned. I am now busy at work but will share more details about the month later on.

First interesting (or not) stat is that my return after MU is exactly the same in both enmatters and ores :D

Tromos :cool:
 
Other Statistics

Below stats include the one catastropic round I made in CND. I will post some numbers excluding that one as well for those interested :)

All drops with maxed vrx2k & mt1000 except for 500 ore type drops with OF-105 in CND.

- Total drops: 5,500 (2,750 of each type)
- "Productive TT spend" (bombs, probes, amps): 6,187.50 PEDs
- Decay TT (finders, excavators, refiners, enhancers): 198.14 PEDs or 3.2% of "productive" TT
- Markup "lost" (amps, finders, enhancers): 224.01 or 3.5%
- Total MU & decay (what I call "unproductive spend"): 422.16 or 6.8% of "productive" TT spend

- 3 SOOTO finds in 5,500 drops => 1 every 1,833 drops
- 8 globals (1 HOF) in 5,500 drops => 1 every 687.5 drops

- Total rounds (back-to-back drops) 23
- Profitted in 12 of them (more than 50%)
- Profitted in 14 ore rounds out of 23
- Profitted in 13 enmatters out of 23
- If any of you is wondering how is possible to profit 13 & 14 times in enmatters and ores but still only 12 in total, think again ;)
- 9 times out of 23 I profitted in both types
- 5 times out of 23 I lost in both types (and one of them cost me dearly!)

The returns per type are surprisingly close both in TT and with MU as you can see in above post!!!

Also:

- Average Ores MU% => 126% (had to cover for TT loss + 105% MU for amps + rest
- Average Enmatters MU% => 128.5% (had to cover for TT loss + 109% for amps + rest

Ore Type as % of total TT:

Lysterium ----------------> 16% (had a HOF 390 peds here)
Gazzurdite ---------------> 12%
Caldorite -----------------> 11%
Belkar --------------------> 11%
Durulium ------------------> 7%
Blausariam ----------------> 7%
Narcanisum ---------------> 5%
Cumbriz -------------------> 4%
Iron ----------------------> 4%
Erdorium ------------------> 3%
Others -------------------> 22%
=========================
Rares (200%+ MU) --------> 3% (average MU of 399% => 111 PED TT or 444 with MU)

Enmatter Type as % of total TT:

Oil ------------------------> 13%
Garcen --------------------> 13%
Putty ---------------------> 11%
Melchi ---------------------> 8%
Growth Molecules ----------> 6%
Binary Fluid ----------------> 6%
Force Nexus ---------------> 6%
Typonolic ------------------> 6%
Sweetstuff -----------------> 5%
Alicenies -------------------> 4%
Others ---------------------> 21%
===========================
Rares (180%+ MU) --------> 4% (average MU of 452% => 71 PED TT or 322 with MU)

more stats to come without that CND round..
 
Last edited:
To put things a bit into perspective with regards to rare finds (probably not visible straight away with above numbers) after a quick note from a friend.

The rare finds return with MU is 766.46 PEDs or 11.6% of total spend (incl. MU). For the ones that doubt whether bigger/expensive finders can worth it, this % is anything but insignificant :D
 
Stats excluding CND

Last round of the same statistics but this time only for drops on the planet. I had one long bad round at CND, which I thought I 'd take out for those curious to see the same just for planet.

Below numbers DO NOT count against the contest. The are just for information purposes


Hypothetical Final Returns after 22 runs

Ores:
98.0% @ TT, 123.0% w. MU

Enmatters:
96.2% @ TT, 121.8% w. MU

Total:
94.1% @ TT, 116.5% w. MU
-309.75 PED @ TT, +898.25 PED w. MU

In this hypothetical scenario, the winner would have been: Cormac McCarthy Smith: 116.2%

Oh, and if I would have continued the contest to include the tower, my socmate Slither would have won :)

All drops with maxed vrx2k & mt1000

- Total drops: 4,500 (2,250 of each type)
- "Productive TT spend" (bombs, probes, amps): 5,062.50 PEDs
- Decay TT (finders, excavators, refiners, enhancers): 178.02 PEDs or 3.5% of "productive" TT
- Markup "lost" (amps, finders, enhancers): 198.11 or 3.9%
- Total MU & decay (what I call "unproductive spend"): 376.13 or 7.4% of "productive" TT spend

- 3 SOOTO finds in 4,500 drops => 1 every 1,500 drops
- 8 globals (1 HOF) in 4,500 drops => 1 every 562.5 drops

- Total rounds (back-to-back drops) 22
- Profitted in 12 of them (more than 50%)
- Profitted in 14 ore rounds out of 22
- Profitted in 13 enmatters out of 22
- 9 times out of 22 I profitted in both types
- 4 times out of 22 I lost in both types

Also:

- Average Ores MU% => 127.6% (had to cover for TT loss + 105% MU for amps + rest
- Average Enmatters MU% => 130.4% (had to cover for TT loss + 109% for amps + rest

Ore Type as % of total TT:

Lysterium ----------------> 17% (had a HOF 390 peds here)
Gazzurdite ---------------> 13%

Caldorite -----------------> 8%
Durulium ------------------> 8%
Blausariam ----------------> 6%
Narcanisum ---------------> 5%
Cumbriz -------------------> 4%
Erdorium ------------------> 3%
Gold ----------------------> 3%
Others -------------------> 21%
=========================
Rares (200%+ MU) --------> 3% (average MU of 399% => 111 PED TT or 444 with MU)

Enmatter Type as % of total TT:

Garcen --------------------> 14%
Oil ------------------------> 14%
Putty ---------------------> 13%
Typonolic ------------------> 7%
Binary Fluid ----------------> 6%
Sweetstuff -----------------> 6%
Force Nexus ---------------> 6%

Growth Molecules ----------> 4%
Others ---------------------> 21%
===========================

The "rares" return incl. MU account for 14% of total spend (TT + MU).
