    I like to do experiments in Entropia, mostly on hunting. It keeps me going, these are my personal "Missions". My experiment on the Halix with the Dmg/PEC differences is still on, although now on a lower activity. I am doing a lot lately with another kind of experiment, one that is going on now for some months I think, but I couldn't come up with a satisfying way of posting the results.

    What it is all about is the Kills per Hunt. Some players say things like "you need to do longer runs if you want to profit." I believe that's Huonshit, because I think that each loot is determined individually; ie. it won't matter if one kills 1000 mobs in one massive hunt or 1000 mobs in 100+ small(er) hunts. Some mobs carry no loot, others a bit, above average and the occasional Global. In the end both get an average over 1000 kills.

    The setup is as following:
    Location: Celeste Quarry
    Creature: Hadraada (Young - Provider)
    Armour: None
    Weapon (primary): Khorum Ice Dagger (3x)
    Weapon (secondary): Ozpyn RSB S1X1
    Fap (primary): Gyro Fap-18 (L)
    Fap (secondary): S.I. H.E.A.R.T.
    Kills per Hunt: 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 200, 225

    I carry three Khorum Ice Daggers and alternate between them so that, in theory, all three will be used equally on all hunts. It is a pretty nice weapon to hunt these small Hadraadaas with, although for a Provider a slightly bigger one could have been handy. The Ozpyn RSB S1X1 is a Shortblade from Planet Cyrene, used as a finisher. The Gyro I use when my health is low, only happens when I get a crit.hit at a wrong moment, or being attacked by two or more Hadraadaas sometimes. The S.I. H.E.A.R.T. I use in between two mobs to get my health to ~90% back and after the hunt is done as well. This is normally more then enough to survive the attack.

    These Kills per Hunt (KpH) I've choosen because it gives quite a good linear equation. Hard to explain, see this graph:
    View attachment 9581
    The closer the R[SUP]2[/SUP] is to 1,000; the better the graph is. 0,991 is pretty good and it could have been better when the lowest hunt would be only 5 KpH, but that's really pushing the limit of my anxiety.
    With each KpH the same about of Hadraadaas will be butchered.

    HadraadaHuntsTotal Kills
    10 KpH1801800
    30 KpH601800
    60 KpH301800
    90 KpH201800
    120 KpH151800
    150 KpH121800
    200 KpH91800
    225 KpH81800
    Total:33414.400

    The setup of Ardorjies Experiment of Kills per Hunt on Hadraada is a follows:
    a) The Kills per Hunt will be choosen randomly.
    b) I will only hunt Hadraada at Celeste Quarry.
    c) I scan every creature prior to attacking using a Chikara InvestaFoe ES300. [ The Scanning-costs will not be taken into account. ]
    d) On the odd change that I die, I will return running and finish the job.
    e) Every hunt will be completed that session. Not expended when the loot is good, or shorted when bad.
    f) I record the weapons cost, medical cost and all separate.
    g) I record the TT-value of each stackable and item after the hunt separately.
    h) Globals will be noted down to be possible substracted for clearer results.
    i) After each hunt I do 'something' different. I don't think it matters at all, but it won't hurt either I guess.
    j) I'll post results in stages of 25 hunts done, with the exception of the first because I've already done 75+ hunts.

    Conclusion when I am done:
    I will make one graphs showing the Average Return (%) vs. KpH with and without Globals. If I can, also a total graph that shows how the Average Return (%) changes towards a mean. This to determine if a small hunt can still influence the Average Return (%) or not. In other words: one can image that when you kill 100 mobs and then 10 more, the results of these 10 are huge on the overall 110 kills, but when you kill 1.000.000 and then 10 more, ..., well drop in the ocean.

    Hypothesis:
    It doesn't matter if one does a small hunt or a big hunt for the average return (%) and in what items one can loot.

    First result: probably later today or tomorrow.

    Ardorj :)

    Interesting experiment Ardorj. I agree that the number of kills per hunt has nothing to do with loot distribution, but this is an excellent way to strengthen that hypothesis.

    One question: do you scan each creature purely for skill gains for taming reasons down the road, or is there another reason?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your interest. I scan because it's a tic of me I guess. I have to scan most I encounter, mobs, players, vehicles.

    Runs #1 - #75
    I must say for a start that I like these Hadraadaas. They are easy enough to hunt naked, yet not boring like the Halixes are. Present some good loot now and then and often carry enough with them to give me a Global.


    The progress I've made include (the number between brackets is the hunt-number):
    Mission: 400 Hadraada (7), 1200 Hadraada (61)
    Skills: 3000 Martial Arts (7), 4000 Melee Damage Assessment (13), 1400 Diagnosis (15), 2600 Shortblades (18), 2800 Shortblades (34), 5100 Anatomy (36)
    Proffessions: 28 Knifefighter (Dmg) (13), 24 Knifefighter (Hit) (15), 29 Knifefighter (Dmg) (39), 26 Knifefighter (Hit) (72)

    First table, the Return (%) of each KpH and the difference to the Average Return (%) of these first 75 hunts. When in green, it is better then average and in red means worse then average. Can't complain with 96% as a 'start'. The numbers listed under 'Global (PED)' is just what that's said: the values of all Globals in PEDs gotten with a given KpH.

A negative number under 'Diff. (PED)' means that the cost per kill is lower then the average of all hunts combined, and thus that's good (green).

    To make it a bit more interesting, I think, here the Top 3 Globals from the hunts #1 - 75.

    View attachment 9681
    The very first Global is still the #1 Hadraada Global. Scored in the still one and only 150 KpH-run wich has a good return, also thanks to two other Globals.

    View attachment 9682
    The only Global in a 90 KpH-run that pushed the return well into the 100+% return, what otherwise would have been ~80% return.

    View attachment 9683
    One of three Globals from the first 225 KpH-hunt, it did help alot for pushing the hunt as well into a profitable return.

    Unfortuatly, I won't be albe to say anything constructive about the Globals, because I also often get a 10+ loot without the swirlies. Just yesterday I scored a Piron-PLR-12 (L) with ~18PED TT I think it was, but no Global. I don't know how or why that happens. The minimum Global-value of 10 PED is for all maturities, or am I mistaken?

    Next phase done and still doing quite well I think, even though the results are done a little bit on average. The results posted here are from the hunts #76 to #100 only.

    UPDATE: Ok, I've looked into tables. With XF, it requires a plugin, which is not an issue in itself. However, I'm holding off for now until Dylan and I are both happy that the base stuff is sorted and fixed from the changeover, or until we can determine that adding said plugin isn't going to cause more issues than it solves at this stage.

    So stay tuned. :thumbsup:

    Ardorj is going to have to redo them in the new plugin format. Happy to give him a hand doing it. I'll start on the OP now.

    Done. Easy when you know what to do, yet still time-consuming. I fear I got to do (in part) the tables of the Eco-Exp. too.
    Where have all the pictures gone to by the way? Noticed it yestereve too when I wanted to take a look at the Underground-Creature-Map and saw that was gone too.

    Runs #176 - #200
    It took me some time to complete these latest 25 runs, but I killed more Hadraadaas this time then the previous 50 runs. Good to note: I made a profit with these runs, yeih-yah!

    The progress I've made include (the number between brackets is the hunt-number):
    Mission: none
    Skills: 3200 Martial Arts (179); 360 Coolness (181); 3800 Shortblades (188); 3200 Inflict Melee Damage (200)
    Proffessions: 32 Knifefighter (Dmg) (182); 20 Evader (183); 30 Knifefighter (Hit) (188)
    Rare item: none


    First table, the Return (%) of each KpH and the difference to the Average Return (%) of hunts #176 to #200.

    Globals (best 3):

    The main reason that I ended in a profit for these 25 hunts. Also love the 'instand profit' globals, seeing as this one was giving during a 30-kill hunt.

    I got this in a 150-kill hunt and it was all dry untill close to the end where I got first this love and then few Hadraadaas later a smaller 13 PEDder.

    The last one, still pretty good.

    Second table, bit of copy-paste from the first and the cost to kill a Hadraada on average. A negative number under 'Diff. (PED)' means that the cost per kill is lower then the average of all hunts combined, and thus that's good (green).

    In short: Getting ever better on the Hadraadaas. Shrapnel was introduced on of these hunts and because I want to see if there is also a relationship between the lenght of the hunt and the items, (including stackables), I should split that in the pré and post-Shrapnel-era.
