Hello! I'm curious, if you had a 10k [usd, ~99k ped] investment and a brand new character, what would you do [hunting profession]. What weapons / path / armor / heal type / planet etc.
I did something similar, just with the difference i was able to deposit it during a 2 years period, so i had to do something ingame for like 2 years till the ammount is available, but my goal was an LA, liked the concept, wanted to own one.
LA not worked as i expected, sold it and tried out hunting profession with high efficiency gear, you can find my tracker in my signature, start was last september with relative low skills, like looters were average lvl35, one could get that in a few months of active gameplay i think.
Well, the CLD investment could work early, but the 120 weekly free ped from it wont make you leveling fast.
That is like 1700p cycle weekly before the free ped lost, calculated with 93% return early with no looters and 60% effi, and not sure you would have that once you hunt bigger than puny mobs.
It is enough as long as you hunt punys, lvl 0-3, but later it wont be enough for long at like lvl 10+
For example, lets assume you are skilling pistol for later LP40 perfected purchase.
Lets calculate with armatrix LP-10 L, you can buy cheaper MU pistols ofc, but easier to calculate with this now.
LP-10 L full cycle is about 330p, so you can do 5 full pistol cycle per week, till the 120 free ped from CLD runs out.
5 x full tt L useage total / 7 days = 60 minutes gameplay daily (i didnt calculated with income mu ofc, but neither with L gun mu)
1 hour daily isnt much gameplay, and if it is not much gameplay, its not much skilling, and we are talking about the lowest armatrix gun, not the current level one as you would leveing to 15-20-25-30-35.
With 100k total ped, i would only recommend LP-40 perfected, if you can afford to keep depositing a few times per year in the next 1-2 years, not much, but maybe 2-3k ped a month, not necessarily every month, just when needed.
(Its a "not much" compared to the original 100k deposit)
Early on you will loose ped, whatever gun you will use.
Your looters are just too low to break even, so you would need to depo back the lost ammount of your bankroll to keep going.
After some time, like an year or a bit more, you could reach a level where you could break even, if you would sell all the mu you get, but some mu not good to sell immediately, like mayhem tokens, its better to save them up for someting bigger, so even after like 1 year, you may would need to do some deposit to cover the unsold mu you saving up, im currently at this stage, i only need to deposit for mayhems to cover the tt loss on looted tokens that i dont sell (and boxes because too cheap atm, hopeing for good new 2022 ring and increased price to sell for)
Ofc you can get lucky and hit something nice, like if i would get lucky and loot a camo bgh from an LT, that would be enough for like the next 1 year of unsold mu to cover, so luck also can have a factor in it.
BP-20 / BC-30 / Weak claw could also work, but those would be very low dps, i mean, it would be enough for you for the first few months, or half year, but after than, it could be easily became not enough if you would want to hunt bigger, and that is the nature of most of us, we always want to hunt bigger.
You would have enough mob to farm for 1-2 years for sure, but there you are limited by DPS by a lot, as something to try out its ok, for example im too started with a BP-20, but changed to bigger in 1 month, and since that changed gun 2 more times and i consider any current gun i would use only just as a ladder, real guns are 100+ base dps, saving up the tokens for one of those.
I can only recommend the hunting profession, as i know almost nothing about mining or crafting.
The main question at here i think if you could afford / willing to do some more deposits for bankroll when needed or that 100k is all the investment you would make.
You dont need to spend on armor and heal for now, the gun is all you need, instant boost on return, all rest are optional, not as important, when you will playing, you will learn and you will know when you need to invest in them.
