It seems to me that finding the cheapest way to kill a mob results in a smaller loss of ped overtime but mabey im wrong. If there is a loot multiplier for people who spend more killing a mob, it isnt enought to make hunting with ep-50 at level 20 as eco as korss. I don't think its enought to justify hunting ambu with korss either but mabey I'm wrong about that too. |
Well, like you say, I too also feel my long-term return is best when I've been concentrating on spending as little as possible to kill a mob. I dare say, certain weapons could be better than others for reasons aside from pure economy, and also even the armor you choose to wear, and hunting mobs that are 'in your level' could all also have an effect.
But yes, I was in the past happy that spending less to kill a mob was a good thing. I still am.
However, what has me a little concerned is this whole regeneration thing so I went to test it a bit. My concern is to do with markup. If I factor in dmg/sec and dmg/pec like we have done in falkao's thread then the natural thing to do is to use the weapon combo that kills the mob for the least spend (including markup). However, if loot is related to spend somehow that could make what appears to be the logical thing to do, not actually the best thing to do.
For instance, for some mobs spending 200% on a HL14 results in a cheaper kill than spending 150% on a H400. However, if loot is pushed up for the more expensive kill (eg. due to regeneration), then spending that extra markup may no longer be justified. That is unless somehow loot is related to total spend (including markup) rather than tt spend - given that markup is exchanged between players whereas player-
MA interactions are tt-based, it seems more likely to me that if loot is related to spend it would have to be tt spend not markup. Could be wrong though.
