I will have only 100 Peds and full TT Opalo SGA.
I will use Opalo SGA only
I will hunt on a land area with hunting taxe of 5%
I will only calculate TT value.
I will not sell my loots in TT but I will replace them with the same value in Peds.
I will use only the remaining Peds to repair the Opalo and buy as much ammo as I can for the next runs.
I will wear Pixie but will not calculate the decay.
I will not heal at all.
I will not use attachments or enhancers.
I will kill Shinkiba Young --> Old only.
I will not do any other activity that are related to loots and skills during this experiment.
I will not change area.
I will only go out of the area to repair and buy ammo.
It will end when I have no more remaining pec to repair and buy ammo.
If by luck I hit big loot(s), I dont promise I will continue this experiment for the rest of my life. :laugh:



Let's see how it's going.

This is my first log.
If you think I forgot something, say it now please.

I will start the experiment in the next hours.
 
You might track skill gains.
 
The results should be interesting - subscribing

p.s. there is an area just east of PA with an outpost and no tax that would be suitable for this experiment.

Thanx but I want to do it in a taxed area to make it harder.
It make no real difference "for me" in the end because it's on my OLA and the taxe will be refunded to me at the end of the day.
So it's not a real loss for me but for the experiment it will be like if I do it in taxed area.

*************************************

Because it take a lot of time to shoot 80-100 Peds of ammo with Opalo, I had to split the run in 2 parts. 8/
I will probably have to slit the next ones too because real life do not always give me the time for 5-8 hours in a row to play Entropia. Anyway, the most important for me is to see if it's possible to survive using only Opalo and 100 Peds of ammo taking into account only the TT value. So the current remaining Peds and % of the starting value is the only thing I look.

Interesting, but can you explain why you decide to hunt in taxed LA? You want to end this experiment asap ? :laugh:
 
Hehehehehe :popcorn:

So let's see what you are doing wrong - scaring new players off:

- not using amp and hunting on 5% land, thats already 9% of return wasted and not talking about how much you save when you use bigger dps (amp) weapon.
- TTing loot, I know it's only few pecs, but that DOES matter
- I know you are not counting armor/fap but using pixie vs young-old daiki when you can do them naked ?
- small bankroll, I consider 1k peds as safe bankroll, in my opinion it's almost imposible to loose 1k peds with opalo (I know what I'm talking about, did level 30 hit with opalo only and small deposits)

You want him to use 101? Overkill maybe ? I don't know.

Also i guess he is just doing a experiment to show what people do, i guess it wil point out he problems but this will be interesting to see the result.

Sure forgot to say he should use finisher. M2100 or kiwio mk2, either is good
 
This is mostly a personal experiment anyway, nothing scientific here.
I could have not show my result and avoid to copy all this on forum.
In the end, I'll know approx how many low level Shinkiba I can kill with Opalo + 100 Peds counting only TT value.
Rather useless indeed.
 
I have been killing loads of cornundacoudas up to dominant with opalo sga and a101.. working great!

also tried molisk up to adult.. but hard to find a place where there is plenty of them..

did shinkiba up to stalkers with the opalo.. but was like hunting daspletors only that I didn't need a mod fapper and big gun.. opalo sga+a101, adj pixie and sk-80 :p

ps. I love evade :)

Btw, it's my first log, only 6 runs and I'm bored already.
I hate to take notes before and after, copy on forum etc ...
I hope it will end soon. :laugh:

Even if my starting 103.80 Peds is obviously going down, it's still not expensive to hunt low level Shinkiba with Opalo.
Currently 3321 kills with 72.61 Peds.
 
I bet such a turnover is boring as hell for a LA owner :).
 
Care to expand on the math behind this statement?

unamped opalo is 2.752 eco, opalo+101 is 2.861
So difference between amped and unamped eco is about 4%, together with 5% tax it's 9%
9% of loot just wasted (not counting MU)
