Skippie's How 2 Profit Thread

[Skippie]

I'll be posting the results of my skilling runs I'm doing on various lowish mid mobs found in non taxable areas around Eudoria and Amethera in this thread.

After each run I will post 2 screenshots, one of the decay terminal and one of the TT with all loot from the hunt contained in it to easily add up the TT amount of that run's loot. I'll keep a running total of profit/loss, etc, lalala, you know the drill.

For the purposes of this thread I will not be figuring any markup on any of the items looted. I will simply be following profit/loss on these runs based on TT value spent for TT value received. This will hopefully show that profitable hunting does indeed still exist in EU purely on the TT in TT out level.

Gear to be used:

Mod Merc
Ranger 3500 + Terrus 600 SE x2
Adjusted Fap
Goot Tailoring Refiner
Lesser Teleport Chip
bD Implant

No armor or amps will be used on these runs.

My current skill levels at the start of this experiment are level 75 Laser Pistoleer and level 65 Ranged Laser Damager.

I will not be following skill gains, loot markups or any of that stuff during this experience, just simply following the TT results of the hunts.

Enjoy!

Now this is interesting to me...I don't do markups or any of that figuring either...

I don't keep track either...would seem too much like work instead of fun...so this is nice to be able to read how things go for you.

Thanks for taking the time...

It exist but with guns worth 20k$ and more...so 99% of playerbase can only imagine hawing such gear.
I can only envy now.

hope it goes well for you, although the results will be completely useless to me and the vast majority of other people

True, the gear costs alot. I paid ~220k for the MM alone. Market on the Adj Fap is running ~50k, i guess. Add to that that my total skill of ~165k that is largely straight up and down the Laser Pistoleer, Damager, Evader and Paramedic professions and that it caries a market value of ~150k. This experiment should show the results of what around 400k+ of skill and gear (and 30 months of hard work) can produce. Does it produce a profitable hunting experience?

We shall see.

I think the point is when threads are posted about how ppl with Mod Mercs that say they profit consistantly are full of BS cause someone with CB 13 L is not having the same experience as them, it's usually cause ppl with Mod Mercs are too busy firing them to document results.

So I figured what's the harm in a little documentation and sharing.

I hope to do 100 such 1000 PED runs solely on mobs that can be killed by pretty much any player in game. I'll skip the Bibos, Exas and Snables. But expect the usual suspects of Feff, Drones, Bristle, etc.

Anyhow, thanks.
