When we talk about percentage in this game, it is a rather ambiguous argument.
For me, the average return on TT is 105%, which gives me about 100 ped per week net profit.
The TT margin limits to the bet you place I think is mostly in ranges from 80 to 120%.
I've tried to play over 110% a few times, but it's very difficult because before you fire some bullets, you can't tell if you hit the "right time".
I could write a lot about this, but I want to say that, i think MindArk lowered the loss threshold with Loot 2.0. I have no experience with Loot 1.0, but from what I understand this loss margin was 70%…
That is, by distributing the pool among the players, MA reduced our loss threshold to ~90%.
Since the system still returns 70%, that 90%+ is not a guarantee and that's why you had a raging thread a few days ago.
But just as you can be 70% right now (ie -20% of your expectations), you can be +20% above that 90%.
As I started at the beginning, the ambiguity comes from whether this month you are willing to spend 1 million ped of which to hope for an item with a better markup to make a profit of say 101-102% ... which of 1 mil is 10/20k ped. Compared to my personal example, it seems more appropriate because the bottom line is profit.
You see, percentage ratios are quite a misleading factor. In the example you gave with 30k clicks 92%, they were probably on one run, for about 1/2 days, which covers all the dynamic mood moments in the game, and I even think you were lucky to make it on normals this time rates.
If you follow the dynamic moods in the game and don't craft when the game doesn't give you, then those 30k clicks that ratio will probably be around 97%+ but it won't take you 2 days.. but maybe over 1 week.
There are no differences in Hunting, Crafting or Mining... everything works in the same pattern. The differences are only in the specifics of these professions.
Crafting most important is Success hits, just becouse your goal is to make an item... not to decreasing your loss by globals.
Mining most important is the ores you take, not the Globals of Crudes to decrease your TT return...
And so on.
