*EDIT: Prizes are based on cumulative profit share of returned loot over the entire 5 day event for each individual player per each category profit share was earned in.

Rules and Regulations:
1. This event will allow employees to form teams to be able to play in harder categories but it is up to the employees to form the teams. The team acts as a single unit, I calculate profit margin based on entire teams decay and entire teams returned loot. All profit shareing is divided evenly for all team members when payed out.

2. I do not pay for decay on any items I do not provide, should you use personal items it is at your own discretion. I have assortment of weapons, armor and faps lined up for use.

3. I cannot guarantee hunts on all mobs at all times, wish I could but I do have a PED limit to abide by as well. I will try to keep you all as busy as I can however. To compensate for this downfall I am allowing you to sign up for the next hunt of a particular mob if I currently don't have the equipment because person is out hunting or am waiting on a fresh supply to come in from my suppliers.

4. Being that larger mobs will be requiring me to have a huge trust margin for items I provide, I am instead going to require collateral to use these items. Any hunt that requires 100 PED or more TT value of items borrowed per individual, I require a 80% collateral deposit. When loot and items are returned after a hunt I will return all items used as collateral. Teams on larger mobs keep this in mind as each member of the team recieving this equipment will need to supply appropriate collateral.

5. I will be available for receiving hunters loots daily at 1100MA and 2300MA times. I will also re-equip hunters for their next hunts at this time.

6. For this event I will be basing my operations out of a friends Arkadian apartment. Celeste Harbour North Building 12 Floor 4.

7. All looted items during hunts besides items a person can purchase at a trade terminal will be available for hunter to buy back at a great deal. TT + the 50% weekly mu I figured in during loot exchange. Current hunter gets first chance to purchase their looted items when returning loots, after that I will be listing the items in the second post of this form updated at least daily.

8. I will be posting results as hunts progress in the second post of this thread, updated at least daily. I will also be posting current looted items hunters can buy for very discounted prices and as before I will be posting each hunting result like I have done in the past so my data can be validated in the end by the players. I also will keep running log of current place leaders for each category.

9. I will be leading a daily Level I instance hunt after the 2300MA time loot exchanges are done. I will be building a list of interested hunters that want to join me starting September 3rd at 00:00MA time.
TEAM SIZE: 4 + myself
STRATEGY: When we are progressing through the instance we will be waiting for all team members before entering mob spawn areas. Never block doorways, enter rooms far enough first to allow others entry then start hunting. It doesn't matter who does most damage as all loot is returned to me.
WEAPONS: SI Scorpion (Rakta, Jarijak, Ubo), SI Flamethrower (Optional for Rakta, just let me know if you per to use AOE instead to target them), CAP-101 Desert or equiv other gun for Magurg and Dehera bosses. 10 PED ammo, split between weapon types if different weapon types. HEART FAP's. No Armor needed.
PROFIT SHAREING: Profit sharing is determine as normal with profits divided evenly to entire team minus me, I do not take a share of any profits. Arkoins looks like have balanced out at around 200% so will use weekly mu's for them. All looted items will be up for sale as per the normal rules of the hunting challenge.

10. Finally all my normal hunter hiring rules form the first post of this thread apply. READ THEM PLEASE... They explain how I calculate profit sharing.

11. Prize distributions, prizes are actually more like bonuses I want to give to dedicated hunters that perform well while out hunting. As such I would like to include as many individuals as possible as a way to thank them for participating and hunting for me. A person can only win one prize in all, so no person can sweep all the categories and win multiple prizes/bonuses. If a hunter hunts more then one category and has scores to win multiple prizes I'll let them pick which one they want and the other(s) will go to the next person in line for winning in the other categories.

12. As I did last time I will sometimes be crafting with the loots returned from the hunters, whenever I am using these loots and I get a global/HoF I'll put the profits from the craft into a pool and either share PED evenly split of that pool amount or craft a nice full tt item for all the hunters that participated, whichever is more feasible to do for me at the end. I will do crafting if I can because I want the extra skills. This will just be an added bonus as a thank you for all hunters on top of any prizes and profit sharing.

Finally I want to thank a list of people that have stepped up and became suppliers for this event and for future hunting opportunities like this.

GZ on this new event !! - please sign me up for Cat II

 

Just thought I'd pop in to say good luck to all the hunters! We're happy to be supporting K-Max's endeavours, and hope you all do well from it. If anyone has any armour-related questions, don't hesitate to ask. You can always email me at ceo@southernfortress.com.au.

Good luck!

 

I'm not sure to understand the concept of this event...

You provide weapon, ammo (and armor and FAP?) and we go hunting the mob you say.
Then we give you back all loot and if there was profit we split it if there was loss it's for you only.

And the best hunter (based on number of runs or globals or return???) get a prize;

Is this right? But what is your interest in doing this event?


Thanks,
Term

 

Great questions Terminator,

My interest in holding such an event or hiring hunters is to collect specific materials for crafting at reduced costs to me in the long run, so far I have been undercutting the AH by about 50% mu on materials by hiring hunters. Being I am busy doing so much other things mining and crafting I'd need to also go hunting and I only play a few hours a day maybe bit more and this is a way for me to cover hunting and collect myself about 2-3 months worth of mats hunting solo in a week.

A hunters interest in doing this event originally started with helping new players. I gave them an option to do something besides sweating and begging for people to buy their sweat. I give them the option to hunt smaller mobs for absolutely free with the chance of making some PED as well. This is the first time I've expanded to larger mobs so I am adventuring into new territory here but I do require mats from the mobs I selected.

Overall interest of doing this type of event or activity is to support shop owners and crafters, mostly local to the planet I hire on. Allow alternative options to players struggling with PED for hunting. Allow players a way for them to work on their IFN challenges for free while I get some materials to craft.

The prizes are kind of bonuses that usually are covered somewhat by crafting returns. But prizes this time, along with some of the item purchases will be coming from another events winnings. I participated in BlackHawk's Mining Challenge event but only two people really participated and I kind of won without much challenge and BlackHawk did the event with the open mindedness of helping players learn the game. Well being I feel I don't deserve to have all that prize money for a contest I won by default I am kind of passing it forward through this contest.


EDIT:
Honestly it isn't really an official event, it is more of a special twist to my hired hunting services. I am basically hiring people to hunt for me and the ones that do a lot of hunting for me and bring back good returns deserve bonuses. If it were an event anyone would be able to win the prizes but here I am using bonuses(prizes) as a way to thank dedicated hunters during the week for hunting for me and doing a good job.

 

Thanks for answers, it's clear now.


So please count me in, if possible in category 4 or 3.
What weapon do you plan to provide for these mobs? (I'll give any collateral needed.)
This week I'm avalable on Thursday and Friday so I can hunt these days as long as needed. I'm MA+2 hours (France).

 

Sent you private message on items I will be providing based on categories you mentioned.

The hunting starts next week, I am still acquiring the gear I can supply for the hunters. I also have to scope out how instances run so I can figure out how I will organize that part of next week as well.

 

Now that I had a chance to check out and access a Lvl 1 Instance I was able to make a more clear analogy on how I will be running that part of my hunters challenge next week.

UPDATED POST #41
- daily instance run information updated.
- added a thank you for a generous donation by a supplier.

I will be updating Post #41 with any changes pertaining to next weeks challenge. I'll also add a new post at the end with what was updated in Post #41 for quick references to changes made.

 

count me in category 1. i think now is the only mob i can handle

 

More then welcome to hunt caraboks I have plenty of guns and ammo for caraboks I actually use over 90% of the loot returned form a carabok.

 

sure thanks~

tomorrow where i meet u for the event?

 

I think it will be very useful for players to see in this thread, the following:
Types or weapons they will use per each Cateogry.
Types of armors they will use per each Category.
Types of FAPs they will use per each Category.
Required profession levels for each Category.

I think this will be important when they choose Category. In team is a bit different as they ca improvize (FAPper;s role, TANK;s role and so on), but when alone, they need to check weapons and FAPs to see if the category they will hunt will fit them.
It;s important for them I think.

Everything looking great otherwise.
I will pay a visit to your apartment later today.
