Another factor is obviously how many shots you take, and (probably) the tt value of each shot. I'm guessing that the size of the gain is partially proportional to the output (tt), and the probability of a gain is fixed so that you get more chances with more shots.
I can verify from my own records the above--I can get more skills/PED output from small mobs but get them faster by blasting huge amounts of ammo at bigger mobs.
The results of a very limited number of hunts, Laser Sniper (Hit) profession total volume gains/PED ammo:
small big
0.028 0.008
0.028 0.009
0.028
0.031
0.029
0.023
0.026
0.025
Average
0.027 0.008
Note that this isn't quite right due to heavier amping and weapon decay of the small mob kills relative to the ammo burn. The difference is far more than can be explained by that, though.
I am keeping better records to compare straight across for total output tt vs. skills but don't have enough data recorded or the comparator finished. |
do i understand right? u gain like 3 times more skill hunting low mobs due the kill bonus?
Just as a visual comparation i was hunting yesterday ambu and yes i could kill them non stop, but i didnt see as many green lines on my chat.
so i will be happy if u could confirm this?
