    Next oro run is completed, small loss and nothing really exciting happened except that I hit lvl 51 laser pistol. Also looted an oro skull, which although useless looks good on my trophy wall next to my oro plush toy :p

    The third hunt on oro is finally done, took a few days break in the middle as i didn't really have very much time to play.
    I should be able to get some hunts done during the weekend and hopefully finish the last 4k I need.

    TT out: 372.57 ped
    Result: -2.11 ped


    To all the newbies out there, I am getting these results with a maxed opalo+a101 which is 2.861 dmg/pec. Do not fall into the trap of wasting peds on overpriced "eco" weapons when simpler and cheaper weapons can get the job done as well. The most important tools a hunter has are his skills and his float, and running decent sized hunts is more important then spending 100's of peds to get a slight 0.0001 dmg/pec advantage.

    This was the worst run I've had on oro, thought the % returns was too good to last :D I figure I have about 12 amps to go till I finish the 12k mission, so i might just split it into two hunts :whistle:

    Cheers, stopped a few times during this hunt in the hope that it will improve loot. Sometimes you just hit a bad phase and need to grind through... I predict another real global/hof from the oro in the last 2,7 kills I have left.

    I did a very large sample for this run, cost per kill is way up because of the mutated oro mixed in but I like killing them :p A small tt-loss this hunt but I should get some good mu for some things and hit 159 hp so pretty happy with the result.

    I got a gyro 2 smuggler to replace my si-heart fap, and I'm using a cap-25 for the mutated oro I run across.

    LOL, yeah I had a bit of a shock when looking at the stock levels at our Sanctuary Cove shop today...Thought my monitor was playing up initially.....Didn't half look funny inside the shopkeeper with the female set still red and all the male a rather vibrant purple....

    Still, that said, it really looks great in purple! Maybe we can convince the A-Team to bring out a purple range sometime in the future....and I know of at least 1 person that will go bonkers when they see that colour! ;)

    This was my last oro run and very glad to finally be finished with this mission, I'll post a mission summary separately ... I won't be able to do this with every mission as I often mix different mobs especially when i hunt bigger.

    Oh yeah opalo gained another two tiers, on 3,3 now :)

    Here is the promised summary for the entire oro mission, I chose the LWT reward which pushed my laser sniper lvl another 15% towards lvl 54 :D

    And I finally get to place my oro skinned rug in my apartment ... my reward to myself for finishing the 12k mission.

    That's a very neat result Mord! Gratz on completing the Oro Mission.
    PS. Do you use enhancers on the Opalo and if you do, is it any good?

    Thanks m8, I had a suspicion that I was getting a good tt-return rate but was a bit shocked to see the end result too.

    I did try both ranged and dmg enhancers in the opalo one time, but on small weapons they are cost prohibitive. Enhancers work best in very large weapons, my Raw-505 for instance I run always full of dmg enhancers.

    The reason for this is that with the average break rate of 1/1000 shots I will loose 1 for every 20ped I spend in the opalo vs 1 for every 450 ped spent in the Raw-505. And since enhancers cost the same no matter what weapon you use they only become effective on the very large weapons :D

    I'm not so sure this is true. The Caly staff have stated that break rate is dependent on benefit received, which means that the 1/1000 shots may be true for some weapons, but not for all weapons. It's difficult to get a large enough sample to draw meaningful conclusions on break rates, but I believe attempts have been made on another forum. So, what you're saying may be true, but we just need more info to draw reasonable conclusions. I know, for example, that my average break rate on speed enhancers on my ME/01 is right around 1 per 3000 uses. When I used to own an ME/05 SGA, speed enhancers broke at a rate of about 1/800 uses. That's a significant difference and I suspect break rate is basically the same on weapons. Still, it's just hard to draw good conclusions.
