Doing a Skippie

[Spawn]

In this thread: Skippie's How 2 Profit Thread Skippie will prove that it is possible to profit if you have the gear and the skills.

I will never have the gear, and probably not even the skills, but I will try to follow Skippies footsteps.

Skippie uses this gear:

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

I dont have much money so I bought

A p5a pistol that does half the damage per second.. and i will mount my trusted a105 onto that, and repair it if it breaks and keep track of the decay of the amp. I know the comparison isn't true here already but hey..
I dont need scopes or lasers, since im 10/10

Instead of the adjusted fap i will use warrior/berserker+ 5b on the first run which is nexnecis.
Skippies adjusted fap heals 50 at 2 pecs decay
a nex young upto old does not do enough damage to me for me to have to fap in berserker/5b which decays 1.8

goot tailoring refiner
lesser tp chip
bd implant

I will hunt the same ground, with the same amount of ammo.

so run 1: nexnexis, 1000 peds ammo..

what this will prove? I dont know for sure. let's see.

oww and im level 37 handgunnier..
and got about 3k evade and other naturally skilled def skills.

Edit: I noticed berserker+5b is not going to cut it especially with the old and guardians

added: bear/boar/paladin+5b + panic fap ek2350 + vivo t1

Run 1: 1000 peds ammo nexnecis

1027 peds loot, 1 global

decay:


Click to enlarge

139.12 decay from armour and fap

a105 amp repair: 5x 43.66= 218.66

p5a markup + decay= 308(138%)-222 (=tt) 86 peds + 99 (decay) =185 peds


1027 - 1000 (ammo) = +27 peds

27
-139
-218
-185
--------
-515 peds

conclusions of run 1:

loot is the same as skippie, but due to armour decay, amp decay and markup and gun decay, I am really loosing here compared to skippie.

run 2: 500 peds on drones 1-8 (and the occassional argo, warrior and trooper)


Click to enlarge

423 peds loot, no globals


Click to enlarge

63 peds repair
a105 repairs: 2x 43,66=87,32
p5a decay: will do that later have to go to work now. (about 46 peds i think)

423-500= -77
- 63 repairs
-87.32 amp decay
-46 peds p5a decay

= - 273.32 loss

overall loss:
-788.32 peds

run 3: 300 peds, fort fury to camp phoenix

loot:

repairs:

loot 628-300 ammo = +328
repairs 29,03
amp decay 2x 43.66= 87.32

run 3= +211 peds (pure tt)
p5a decay 31 peds




Click to enlarge

291 peds back from 300 peds ammo.. not too bad



Click to enlarge

low decay due to not using amp and karma killer instead of p5a/a105

300-291-34,95= -43,95


overall loss 620,95 peds

This is great idea, MORE projects like this !

we need ordinary players in such projects coz they are the core of EU, no MM/imp/mod users ...

let all those P5/H400/a104 do their projects and show their stats

Agreed, the participant base for 12 months ago upto now would not acquire any of the hardcore hunters gear for years to come, that being said ..

Good luck on this project, Lootius Bless.
I shall watch your results with interest great interest

+rep for initiating a down to earth project for the masses.
Well once I spread some love around anyway

[Spawn]

run 1 completed.. check out the results.. interesting is that the loot is about the same as skippie..

If i had to make a really non-scientific first assumption:

Loot is independant of skill, decay or anything. Loot is loot.
You can profit if:
-you kill a mob before it reaches you
-you do not have to fap while fighting
-you can kill a mob without wearing armour
-you do all of the above with a weapon that delivers punch without too much decay


now going for run 2: 500 ped ammo on drones 1-9

[sunny]

Really nice test. Will follow your and Skip's results.

GL with run 2

[Mayday]

Dont even try it!!!You dont have the smallest chance to make profit with 500 ped decay!

[Vedder]

~140 ped armor/fap decay is a lot.
Seems these mobs are too big for your setup.

I second that.

My typical 500 ped ammo hunt (750 with gun/amp decay) brings about 7-8 ped in armor/fap decay. If you want to profit, you must hunt economically.

You seem to have picked too big of a mob for your gear and skills: you got about 10% of your decay from armor and FAP.

To make this a realistic comparison, you have to pick a mob you can kill as easily and cheaply [Edit: and as quickly -- that may be very relevant] with eco SIB gear as he can kill with MM. What you are doing here is something different, not "a skippie".

Also, a single (long) hunt is obviously not enough to draw any conclusions. Do a bunch more on an easier mob, perhaps with amped P4a which is dirt cheap, and then let's see how you do.

Edit: LOL not the first to say that...
