Immortal summarized it all very well.
You are probably hunting lower level mobs, try some high regen ones.
And dont avoid to get hit, dude, only sissies are afraid to get hit 
And maybe make some notes of your return rate, could very well be that you get a lot of minis and have a good return rate. Globals are nice, but one can get addicted to them (like me) and they can cost dearly |
That's kind of a valid point. A little while ago someone posted words to the effect of "It's foolish to persist with something that 'doesn't work' for you. If you keep doing a set 'thing' and it's crappy then change that 'thing' and keep changing it until you find a pattern that works".
Players have often raised the idea that being too eco is detrimental to your return -
if loot is tied to how much you spend to kill something then that might make sense. As I mentioned in my reply to you in my
Coolness thread about level 33-34 I was still using the P5A. This was for economy reasons and saving money was definitely my priority - the problem was that skill gains and loot seemed to be on a real downer. When I started using the HL11 and put economy on the back-burner it was like a door to getting lots of globals had been opened. Ironically while I had been worried about losing a fortune spending more while hunting actually increased my 'nice returns'.
There's very little in
PE that can be said with much certainty and with new hunting-styles come new risks but if you're unhappy with the current situation you're in keep trying different things. Variety is the spice of life!
