well there should probably be another thread entitled how to actually profit hunting... @ cp. but it's already crowded enough up there.
profit in game is derived in every profession from players, not from
ma. i knew this going in. hunting, mining, crafting, nobody consistantly wins on tt, they say craft dantes or ore amps at some 90% return or less and then make the profit on the sale of the items. same with mining, many a profitable miner looses on tt, and then profits on the sale of his ores.
i did this more to satisfy curiousity on my own behalf and share the results. i wanted to see what my skills and gear could produce on small mobs on a tt in tt out basis.
i have taken a break from hunting small mobs, due to the fact that even tho it's a profit, it's a miserable use of my time. i looted i think one small esi in a week on small mobs. i came down from cp with 12 and sold on auction two large ones i looted while up there.
the hl6 drops of 50-250 ped each are ~137%. farming gazz from drones or iron from argos, you get a little bitty bit per mob. so the movements in markup are larger on the mobs i usually frequent.
irregardless, on markup, i profited on small mobs, on large mobs the profit is steady and consistant.
i believe the statement by hawk that he almost always breaks even or profits is a true statement and i believe my hunting is backing that up as well.
i do not mine. my component crafting is very minimal and i've kept that to a minimum for the past month, as well, but i agree with what you and xen have both said about overall tt results.
so scientifically this thread has probably not proved that when it comes to all activity in game.
