Well, I guess you're not hugely active really. I find my loot profile seems to change a bit depending how active I am so could be something like that is affecting things.

Not really sure there's anything hugely odd about any of this.

Well if you wanted a list of mobs that global less than the average, that pretty much covers it for me. feffs, drones, molisk, bristles, argo all drop regular markup in decent amounts and I find I get longer spells without globals on them, than on similar mobs that don't drop as much markup.

regarding the mining, it has been stretched out over the entire period in runs of 1000 bombs. i have few area that i have learned are mineral rich and tend to do okay, just no global.

i think overall, looking at my loots and successes, i tend to do anywhere from 80% to 120% consistantly. so in the long run i have been doing well, skills are growing and i always have crap i loot in the shop to sell, just no big big loots.
Well, 80%-120% isn't bad at all, so no I wouldn't say you're unlucky. I'd say because you have fairly low activity maybe you have a less volatile loot than others do, which means you're getting a more consistent return but less big individual loots.

Just my guess though.
