Note: Got a new TK 120. Headed to some places I mined at before with OF-105 and had a horrible hitrate then I switched places and hitrate becomes much better. At the end had a XIII Duru which saved my ass of losing big again. :rolleyes:

Just did a small run of one OA 103 @ TI

Hit two XIs .. 723 PED more to break even !!

#30​

Bomb – 187
Amp – OA – 103

I was checking some of my hot spots but ores didn’t seem to respawn yet. So I went east of Nea’s Place and it was a BAD decision…mostly hits with Terru and lyst..low mark up and low hitrate..so here it is..another loss which adds to the loot pool.

Really need to do better somehow..and I am out of ideas…suggestions?

Return with MU: 438 PED

Profit / Loss this run: -157 PED
Overall: - 880
 
#31 Enmatter

Probe – 196
Amp – MA 104

I started enmatter mining in Shinook, had very bad hitrate so I was frustrated and went to the PVP zone in Eudora. I was glad I did…Dropped a few bombs then I hit a XIII Oil..I was so nervous that someone may came up lol..Finally after few tping back and forth I got all the oil out :p Then run went smoothly with ok hitrate. At the end..I hit another global. And again, I was nervous and was paying my full attention to the surroundings as I was drilling my rods…


Special Finds: XIII Oil XIV Alice

MU return: 416 PED

Cost 448 PED

Profit / Loss : - 32 PEDs

Even though I had two nice globals, at the end I was still losing =/ hope I will do better next time.

Overall: -912 :rocket:
 
#32
Bomb – 168
Amp – OA – 103
Location: From Shinook to New Swis.

Just did another run. Low hitrates as usual.. I don’t know what is happening to me, it seems like everywhere I go is a bad spot....it is disappointing..I will stop using oa 103 for a while now...if I continue to lose, i may have to sell out..:(
Total Cost = 561

Return with MU: 313 PED

Profit/ Loss: -248

Overall: -1160 PED woot ! I put 1k PED into Loot pool!! :D and I have reached my alternate first goal:

" Lose 1k PED"

Starting next run will be unamped runs :) it will be not as exciting but i am sure if I continue to lose, I lose small... And I hope I can hold myself from buying another Amps before I make some PEDs back first...:)

Bomb – 497
Amp – OA – 103

So after a huge loss of over 1k PEDs, I decided to do unamped runs. I started from north TI to shinook. 1n the first 200 bombs, I hit 1 XII and 2 XIs. The next set of 200 bombs I decided to go to Orishi. I had the most profit there with two XIII hits.

I thought I was lucky today and maybe will hit more bigger claims..I couldnt resist my temptation of amping, so I grabbed an oa 103 from my storage and I was starting to lose big again…

Luckily at the end of the run I hit a XIV Lyst which turned my loss into a profitable run. So overall I made some recovery back today. I am happy.

Tomorrow will always be a better day. I will run unamped again.

Bigger Claims: XII Duru, XII Lyst, XII Lyst, XIII duru,XIII niks,XIV Lyst




Total Cost = 628

Return with MU: 897 PED

Profit/ Loss: +269

Overall: -891 PED
 
Maybe it will be better to use OA-101 and drop more boms. It will take some more time but your hitrate won't be affected by the amp and you won't lose as mutch in one run ;)
 
I agree, I seem to have better result when I do unamped runs. And I will stay unamped or oa101 from now on...so when I lose I wont lose big :p
 
#34

Bomb – 700
Amp – 1x OA 103

So I took one OA103 with me again and went to the PVP zone. I was mining unamped till I thought the hitrate was good, then I put on my oa103, and MA tricked me again..I hit nothing big until at the very last few bombs I hit a XII Cumbriz which made me broke even on the Amp..(I swear I wont use Amp again! lol).

My remaining run went pretty dull and boring with only III ~ VII finds. I expected this with unamped runs. However at the end I still was able to make a profit.

800 PED more to go till I break even! I can do it!



Cost: 700 + 131 = 831
MU return: 930 PED
Profit : +99 PED:ahh:

Overall: -792 PEDs
 
# 35

Bomb – 245
Amp – 1x OA 103

Started off at Treasure Island, run went great with first bomb hitting an IX gazz. Then for the next 20 bombs NRFs. Then all of a sudden, this came up:

XIV Lyst

I was killed by an atrax and was back to the fertilization station..I felt it was the right moment so I put on my OA 103.. and indeed it was, I found this:

XIV Belkar


Total cost: 431 PEDs

Return with MU: 633 PEDs

Profit: +202 PEDs :ahh:

Overall: -590 PEDs


Another profitable runs. It seems that I am doing much better unamped.. Looks like not using amps for all my bombs was not bad at all. Thanks for everyone for the advices.

Thanks Timbo and Nitric^^ Unamped runs saved me these days. I have to restrain myself from buying another OA 103 though..it is just too tempting to get one :)

Nice Meg u had there...Hope u will get anothe XIX or bigger soon;)

Yes, towers can be found unamped!! I would say more chance of hitting XIX or bigger with OA 103 though, but no i have to stop myself from using bigger amps...maybe an oa 101 ? :ahh: Good luck on your runs as well :)

nice log. wish you the best and gl continuing your searches for a tower.

thank you. Sometimes I read this blog over again myself and I just realized how dramatic my Overall profit/loss seems to be lol..it's like a rollercoaster..
Gl on your project in PVP4 also :)

its tru but iff u like ATH more,;) 103 amp or bigger is much better.
so stick to 103 amps iff u afford and it will come biggies. lose 5kpeds is nothing compared too the 50k ATH u know :silly2:
 
# 36

I spent my last two days doing runs with unamped bombs up to oa 102. I had to say it was boring as hell compare to amped oa 103 runs :p Nothing special happened. The only noticeable find was this with oa 101:

XIV Cumbriz


At the end I managed not lose too big this run :)

Total cost: 852 PEDs (Bombs + AMP costs)

Return with MU: 845 PEDs

Profit: -7 PEDs

Overall: -597 PEDs
 
yay Zaro lol ;)


Good luck
