No activity for a while

I'm gonna take a small break, so there will be no runs posted for a little while. :)

I'm still alive :)

Hello there,
been very busy the past 4-5 days, and haven't really been online much in EU - nothing to write here about at least :)

I will have some time this weekend and expect to get back working on the Argo mission.

Cheers,
Verii

April 30: A quick mining trip to FOMA

I'm getting close to catching up with my logs from the past week or so.

April 30 I wanted to do something else than hunting Argo's, so I wanted to try my luck at FOMA, which as most ppl know, can go both ways. Only visited the place to times in the past, the first trip ended in decent profit while the second one ended rather bad.

As said - this time I just wanted to try my luck, and went to get a OA-101 Light just to get started mining there again, and then I got 8x OA-103 that I wanted to drop and then back to planet.

Decent hit rate in general - one of the OA-103's only led to a small IX Zinc - that wasn't too good.

On the trip I got a total of 6 globals, on 546 drops. 4 of these were Iron, 2 Caldorite and the last Belkar. They were all just small globals ranging from 53 to 69 ped, but hey... the swirl still feels good :)

Anyway... here's a little more detail on the run:

Cost
8x OA-103 (120 ped each)     =     960 ped
1x OA-101 light (51 ped)        =       51 ped
Bombs                                     =     546 ped
Total cost                                =    1557 ped

Loot
Belkar        133.04 ped (126%)=     167.63 ped
Caldorite    234.60 ped (125%)=     293.25 ped
Dianum         57.50 ped (124%)=      71.30 ped
Durulium       32.80 ped (111%)=      36.41 ped
Ganganite      16.08 ped (103%)=      16.56 ped
Ignisium         31.50 ped (138%)=      43.47 ped
Iron            394.94 ped (106%)=     418.64 ped
Narc             44.80 ped (126%)=      56.45 ped
Petonium       23.27 ped (105%)=      24.43 ped
Zinc               20.20 ped (113%)=      22.83 ped

Total loot (including mu)            =    1150.97 ped

Result                                       =    -406.03 ped
Return                                      =        73.92 %

Oh well... this just wasn't my day at FOMA - I had fun tho :)

Soon the real hunting log will get started

The hunts I already posted was logged in a bit too detailed format - or... this was of course good to have a lot of details, however the process of logging a hunt took too long time, and the mu I used was monthly, even if it was something like 100,40% - and chances are that stuff like this is just going to be tt food when I need the ped.

Therefore I decided to use another format where I don't calculate any MU on anything before I actually sell it at a MU. When I sell it I will add the MU value to the next hunting log entry.

The new log format will look like:

Hunt no. x
Mob hunted:                  x
(L) items tt:                    x (before hunt) => y (after hunt)

Equipment:                     handgun + amp, rifle + amp, armor, fap

Notes:                             ie. "100 ped global of oil and iron", "a few ~25 ped's"

Cost
Repairs:                         x
Ammo:                            x
Decay:                            x (decent mu estimate of (L) items * total decay)

Total cost:                      x

MU:                               "Nothing sold" / "x sold with y ped MU"
Total loot:                      x (tt + MU sold)

Total
This run:                        x tt / y tt + MU
All runs:                         x tt / y tt + MU

Hunting before april 25

Okay - so I used to be hunting a lot of drones back before my little break. So as I went back to the game I wanted to give these a try again. Most of the time I hunted them they used to give at least decent results - meaning a few hunts that ended in profit, and those who ended in a loss almost always led to a 90% return or so after MU was added. The good thing about the drones is of course the Gazz they drop.

Well - I gave them a try again... 3 hunts with 190 ped ammo, 160 ped ammo and 100 ped ammo. This was just some quick hunts to get back in the game - and they will not be included in my more organised hunting log.

On them I used HL6 (L) + A103, LR41(L) + A104, Shogun armor and T1 / SK-20 (L).

The results: (in decay I always include the average MU on the (L) items I use)

Hunt 1:
Total cost             267.58 ped                     (190 ammo, 40.68 decay, 36.90 repairs)
Total loot             174.19 ped                     (157.30 tt, 16.89 mu)
Result                 -  93.39 ped                     (58.79% return tt, 65.10% return tt + mu)

Hunt 2: 
Total cost             221.45 ped                     (160 ammo, 34.36 decay, 27.09 repairs)
Total loot             144.47 ped                     (132.19 tt, 12.28 mu)
Result                 -  76.98 ped                     (59.69% return tt, 65.24% return tt + mu)

Hunt 3: 
Total cost             139.71 ped                     (100 ammo, 22.18 decay, 17.53 repairs)
Total loot               98.47 ped                     (89.24 tt, 9.23 mu)
Result                 -  41.24 ped                     (63.89% return tt, 70.48% return tt + mu)

Back to Entropia Universe

Hello there,
I'm Verimal Verii Ley.. or that's the name of my avatar in the Entropia Universe.

I joined the universe in december 2009. In about august 2010 I went on a break from the game - I needed som money, and sold a lot of my stuff and pulled out some. As of april 2011 however I'm back in the game again and did a good deposit to get going.

This blog will be about my EU life... mostly I think it will contain hunting and mining logs.

Any suggestions - feel free to tell me :)

Cheers,
Verii
