Hoping to get some insight into other hunters logic when considering how long/how much to hunt for in their "cycle".
Where do you start tracking and where do you stop tracking then measure your performance based on those two metrics.
Hypothetical example I am now hunting specifically for a rare drop from a single mob that costs around 2ped to kill. It's likely I'll have to kill around 10,000 of these mobs to loot the item I'm looking for, so my cycle will take many days and around 20,000 ped to complete.
I would consider this a "one hunting run" and would run my profit and loss based on the entire 10,000 kill cycle (assuming no interruptions). This would be a single dataset isolated from other metrics I would be tracking, a "single business unit" . I would need to take breaks, sometimes days at a time to complete the cycle but yet all of the "active hunting time" would be catalogued by myself as one hunting cycle....
Is this how other hunters think about their runs? Do you count your runs based on the day, the week, the month, or do you count them based on #of kills, specific loot attained? Do you factor the end of a day as an end of a run due to dynamically shifting wave patterns? Obviously there is no right way to do this but I would really appreciate insight from other hunters on how they gauge their performance, hopefully share some best practices to all elevate our craft.
