I figure there are many newbies around who may be interested in how long term hunting of low level mobs are like, in terms of loot. Another thing that crossed my mind is that out of the pass 5 low level hunts I did, I made a TT profit on 3 of them, so it may be interesting how it works out in the long run. All mobs I hunt will have at most about 500, 600 health. Am doing a simple hunting log, and will note if there was anything interesting that happened during the hunt / interesting loot. Otherwise, most loot has an MU of nothing or 101% or thereabouts only. I will indicate loots with 105% MU or better. For weapons, am using Enkidd Howler Prototype / A106 as main gun and Falx longsword as the finisher. Enkidd / A106 combo gives 18.8 dps at 2.970 dpp Falx give 7.1 dps at 2.856 dpp For healing, am using Adj Hedoc as combat (in this case if am swarmed) and S.I. H.E.A.R.T. as in between mobs fap. Adj Hedoc is 27.05 heals/sec, 9.27 heals/pec, 35 uses/min S.I. H.E.A.R.T. is 4.43 heals/sec, 15.56 heals/pec, 19 uses/min Am not using armor. Am Evader level 27.44 / Dodger level 21.58 All stats as per Entropedia. Unless otherwise stated, gear is us above with no enhancers used. Reason for the weapons is cos I want to skill up Gauss skills and swordsman (I got a philosopher sword gathering dust for a while in storage, due to lack of a couple of levels to max it). Am also trying to get my Enkidd to tier 4. I may do a few runs a day, I may not do any runs at all for a week. All depends on time and other activities in here. I am NOT tracking my other activities here, which includes hunts of bigger mobs, occasional mining, crafting, etc EDIT : Some people have asked me to stick to low level mobs for now, so that there is no chance of loot changes due to hunting elsewhere. So for now, will only be doing low level hunts and all those are being shown below. Only other things I may do is mining / FAP service.

Another disconnect just after I finished. Finished the 400 kill mission. No swirlies, but had 3x loot about 5 peds to 9 peds in value.

Died when riptor came at me. Didn't bother shooting it. 18 ped global, 3x loot about 5 peds to 9 peds in value. The disconnects are starting to irritate me. Did not have them prior to the "stability updates" yesterday.
154 Tiaraks (west of Dauntless Firebase) Full TT for all gear at start, 200 peds ammo. 36.86 peds decay 202.57 peds TT returns Higher MU loot : 29x tiarak hides 1x steel blue paint cans 7x turqoise paint cans 156x orange paint cans 11x advanced cloth extractors 8x basic wood extractors 359x Inferior cloth extractors 19x tier 1 components 101x Hekia timber 161x nova 34.29 peds lost Comments : No loot above 5 peds. There was a whole bunch of globals during my hunt. Guess someone (meaning me) had to pay for them. One of the worst low level hunt returns I have seen in a long time. Lots of no loots. Not even a single Tiarak nail dropped. On the bright side, am nicely skilling up my gauss skills and have increased tier of my gun to 3.2
206 Tiaraks (west of Dauntless Firebase) Full TT for all gear at start, 200 peds ammo. 47.13 peds decay 216.06 peds TT returns 31.07 peds lost Comments : Only 1 loot which was barely 5 peds. Edited the first post to state that am not hunting bigger mobs for now.

I did a few hours in the Oratan event during the weekend and did pretty decently. Was busy with a bunch of other stuff IRL as well. 169 kills of Nusuls (Celeste Outpost) Full TT for all gear at start, 200 peds ammo. 68.11 peds decay 302.55 peds TT returns 34.44 peds profit Hunt Running Totals :+ 10.17 peds Comments : 39 peds globals, had 3x minis including a mini with a 22.25 peds tt Piron PLR-17L (115% weekly MU) Good to see my newbie run total is back in the green again. Very good run for low level mobs.
231 kills of Nusuls (Celeste Outpost) Full TT for all gear at start, 200 peds ammo. 93.12 peds decay 371.17 peds TT returns 78.05 peds profit Hunt Running Totals :+ 88.22 peds Comments : 103 and 46 peds globals, had 2x minis of about 10 peds. First half of the hunt was pretty bad, it was after about 170 kills that I got the 100 pedder, followed by the smaller global about 10 mobs later. Without the 100 pedder, would have been a lost. No items, just regular loot. With about 25 mobs left to complete the 400 nusul kill mission, my amp and finisher broke. Had to repair and continue, almost finished up all my ammo in the process.
190 kills of Nusuls (Celeste Outpost) Full TT for all gear at start, 200 peds ammo. 76.74 peds decay 213.48 peds TT returns 63.26 peds lost Hunt Running Totals :+ 24.96 peds Comments : No globals, had 2x minis of about 10 peds including 11.63 peds tt PLP-17 L (120% mu) Most of the hunt was pretty bad, especially first half. it was after about 100 kills that I got the minis. Easy come, easy go. But still ahead.
170 kills of Hadraada (Celeste Quarry) Full TT for all gear at start, 200 peds ammo. 44.98 peds decay 206.96 peds TT returns 38.02 peds lost Hunt Running Totals : -13.06 peds Comments : 1x 10 peds global. Hunt was performed during the oratan event, after I did a couple of hunts on the event itself. Most of the hunt was pretty bad and it didn't help that the server crashed mid way during the hunt.
