Thanks for replying to my comment and taking into consideration using different types of trend lines. I think the R2 value will determine which is correct. Also, I agree with ermik and the non-maxed issue.

I'm a bit slackish with this experiment now I'm afraid. This latest one is from half a week back or so already. What I can remember is that I got quite a lot of Nova-loot. So it wasn't really a suprice to get another bad result. I am doing a new experiment now too, but haven't posted any of that yet. Results on that are better, a bit above 90% now.

Well, Halixes aren't the most exciting creatures and I haven't gotten any global yet since switching to the Laconians, but I do got something to say about this hunt. ... or rather all Laconian hunts. I've made an Excel-sheet with all kinds of calculations with the four PowerFist-hunts and the Laconians. One of these calculations is the average return of 25 hunts, for example Mux-2: 58.884%. For the Laconian it is already calculating the average return of 25 hunts; the weapon costs is filled in (it's always the same ofcourse). All I fill in after a hunt is the cost of the S.I. H.E.A.R.T. and Bukin's Blade and the loot's TT-value. And then in nother cell a calculation of return goes from 0.000% to the real return of that hunt. Now the thing is this. I've done 17 Laconian hunts at this part. That means 17 with a (sometimes) good return and 8 with 0.000%. The average return with this weapon is, at this stage, 60.849%. In other words: the Laconian is already a better weapon then the Mux-2, even with an 'additional cost' of 8 x 15,522 = 124.176 PED!
