Seeing so many logs out there, felt I should try one myself. Starting budget: 30 ped. Will try and go with it as much as possible Mob: Nusul young to alpha Mission at beggining: 160/400 Weapon - tt longsword Armor - adj pixie with 2a Faps: none needed, will record decay if need arrises Starting skills: Swordsman (dmg) : 11 - reached 12 Swordsman (hit) : 9 reached 10 reached 11 Evader : 9 Hp at beggining : 110 Hp now: 111 Runs: 12 Mobs killed: 234 Decay overall: 26.51 TT in overall: 510 ped (34 swords) TT out overall: 463.6 ( 30 ped, 20 ped, 52 ped, 25, 12 ped, 10 ped nusul young, no interesting loot to report) - interesting to note only the young ones ever gave me something bigger then 4-5 ped... Can not afford to keep much loot so will tt everything under 105% mu. Overall: -54.65ped lost. This brings me at 86.41% return tt so far hope i can get it up to 92% at least Thinking of trying a tagger, not sure (I've gathered 75 nusul hide worth 11.25 ped tt, about 20 tier I components and 3 ped of various extractors. Will restart this log when I get back to a decent budget ) Restarted runs however bad start, and will have to see how long i can continue, initial budget was 135 ped, now down to 95...Interesting is dark steel paint with 200% but small ammount looted (>1 ped)
Run 1 Mobs killed: 13 Decay on armor: 1.68 Run value: 30 ped (2 swords) TT out: 49.12 (one 30 ped nusul young, no interesting loot to report) First run +17.44
Run 2 Mobs killed : 17 (190/400) -killed more young Run value:30 ped (2 swords) TT out: 35.03 (one 20 ped nusul young) Decay on armor: 1.74 Second run: +3.29
Thx I'm hoping to grow my budget a bit and if not will just keep going until I reach 0 ped Call it the noob experience
Run 3 Mobs killed : 26 (216/400) Run value : 45 ped (3 swords) TT out: 103.82 ( one 25 ped nusul young, one 52 ped global on nusul young - muscle oil) Decay on armor : 2.83 ped Decay on herb box: 0.09 ped - I tried a few nusul without plates, too much of a hassle to fap on the bigger ones as they have a good ammount of regen, thinking of using Rascal armor instead, need testing Run 3 +55.99
Run 4 Mobs killed: 50 (266/400) Run value: 90 ped (6 swords) TT out: 44.38 ped (back to base value of runs, biggest loot today was 2.71 nusul provider ) Decay on armor: 4.97 Conclussion: small runs from now on, if it's bad I'll just lose less Run 4: -50.59
Run 5 : 30 ped (2 swords) Mobs killed: 14 (280/400) TT out : 35.90 (a 12 ped nusul young) Armor decay : 1.60 Run 5 : +4.30 Small runs are better for now. Somewhat strange run cause had pizza arrive while hunting and a few pecs or more were wasted :blush:
Run 6 : 45 ped (3 swords) Mobs killed: 25 (305/400) TT out: 28.10 (run began well, had a few no looters at the end that gave me the negative result) Armor decay: 2.68 Run 6 : -19.58 Had to tt some loot i kept in storage (tier I components) to fix armor. Have 0.00 ped left on card and 2 swords in inventory will go for a run tommorow Will sweat back to 30 ped if necessary. That or get bored and depo but I'll try it the non depo way first.
Run 7: 30 ped (2 swords) Mobs killed 15 (320/400) TT out: 16.19 (mostly nothing ) Armor decay: 0.99 (helped kill dry in the sweat group and didn't wear armor for a few mobs, received heal from honda ) I'll stop hunting for a week, maybe 2...Will post when I'll continue again Run 7: -12.82
Wrote in the first post Adjusted pixie with 2A plates. Did some messing around with armor vs mobs tool on entropedia and cheapest with decent protection would be using koroma unplated. it beats rascal, kobold, goblin and others
tbh skip the plates just unecs decay. I do this faceroll with the same setup without plates just a hint. Wont matter to much but might be able to help out some
visiting ark and decided to do a little 30 ped run count starts at 327 (killed 7 in a swunt) adj pixie+2a (i use plates cause i don't want to fap as that just lets mob regenerate when using herb box, and using a bigger fap, like t15 just adds mu for my costs) tt longsword (2) mobs killed: 16 (343/400) total loot: 39.32 armor decay: 1.41 overall: +7.91 back to work though hopefully will be back for more of these little runs as I like the nusul rewards on the mission
came back, did 2 runs...run 9 and run 10: From 343 to 360, 30 ped run (2 swords), total loot 25.30, decay : 1.54, overall : -6.24 Then decided to finish the 400 mission (bad mistake): 75 ped run (5 swords), total loot : 52.63, decay: 3.49, overall: -25.86 edited first post with hunt details
Looks like you are very close to the 90% TT return as well, just like me on Halix, so this kinda proves that IF you hunt the right mob with the right setup the 90% return 'rule' still goes, even after the last VU where people were complaining about return.
Run 11 - thinking to switch mobs a bit Run value: 30 ped (2 swords) Total tt back: 14.14 Decay: 1.53 overall: -17.39
Run 12 Run value: 30 ped (2 swords) Mobs killed: 18 (from 16 to 34 out of 1200) Total tt back: 15.31 Decay:1.72 Overall:-16.42 These last runs have...well....killed my budget. I've also done the jori, feran, halix and zadul 75 mission and lost there too so now i''m down to 16 ped out of 150 initial. Sweat time...
