Good luck. I camped feff for most of 2007 and survived on them. That was before the regen of course. Biggest loot 210ped. I don`t hunt them anymore because they just would`nt work for me like they used to especially since I stopped getting an h400 in every global. It was good while it lasted. I`ll be real interested to see how you make out.

It gets really boring after a while hehe... I camped them really hard for about a month, I think my tracker might even list them STILL as my favourite mob, not sure.
In my camp I looted LR only twice, tonnes and tonnes of tbird(L) crap, UL1(L), H400(L) and I believe there was some other armor piece I got too, but I can't remember. At one point I think I had stockpiled 4 full TT backup H400's.
There were a considerable amount of low tt ESI drops too... maybe 30-40 in total? Ranging from 10.xx PED through to (I think) the highest was around 18 PED.
The only difference I noticed in maturities, was most of my globals were on bandits/raiders. This may have been a numbers thing. Also, higher maturity drop slightly higher tt oils, sometimes (similar to most other mobs).

There was a period of about 10 days at the start of my camp, where I was globaling on average 3 times per hunt, profiting on TT alone at around 130% average per run.
Then suddenly, globals stopped. Approx 4 superuber loots on raiders/bandits within the space of a week (not my ubers though) and my loot just stopped. Coincidence? Maybe, who knows.
I had 23 consecutive runs without a single global after the ubers dropped, before I decided to say goodbye forever to Feff. Obviously, in the end, I didn't profit as I found myself having to deposit to maintain my Feff'ing, so I waved and walked away.
Stupid fat pasty bastards! I guess after all, I really only camped them so I didn't have to buy new H400's!

Now I just buy guns until I max HL14(L) then I will camp Fresco for exactly the same reason - stay in stock of pistols.

[Dahlifyr]

Camped thoose critters from Sepember or october last year untill April-May this year.

My setup was Pixie+5B+H400 or P5a with 3 A104+Hedoc SK-50 and fap80, each round was 500ped ammo and i did 3-6 rounds for 4-7days every week under this period.

I had about 1000ped on my card when i started, managed to groove it up too about 3000ped at times. But the loot was unpredictable and i couldnt get it any higher than that, couse after good times comes bad times

Skills was when i started: 146HP, Lvl23 Evader, Lvl48 Laser(Hit), Lvl43 Laser(DMG),Lvl21 Medic.

When i was done i had 152HP, Lvl27 evader, Lvl57 Laser(Hit),Lvl55 Laser(Dmg) and lvl24 Medic.

I managed to Hit 4-6 1k+ loots under this period, i did not had to deposit, everything went good. Then Boooom, I managed to loose every single ped i had, did not change anything(guess that is what i did wrong) just had terrible loot. So when i was down to my last 100ped, i just sold every amp and started to Skill Melee....But grinding is killing me, i did play to much under this period and have been really tired of EU for some months now and i francly dont think i will be able to get back in to this repetetive game with any serious dedication again.

But all in all, i have nothing to show after thoose months, so lets hope that you have more luck then me(wich shouldent be that hard)

Really sad. I try to make some profit here... 23runs without a global... ouch... terrible. I'll try to take care of this detail tracking hofs on feffoids. Butmaybe one will have my name on it, u see, Angel shin guard is not confirmed in this version update . GL.

Again, not such good news for camping them... Will see. TY and GL.

If you don’t want to lose tons of peds stop now, 400+104 amp on those is just bad set up.
If you plan to deposit large sums buy 106 and slap it on P5a it won’t be the best set up for feffes but at least you won’t waist you peds.

With your actual set up you count on luck and not smart play.

Yes I will add that is what I used when I hunted them the H400 with a 104 amp. It was nice then because every global was an H400 so it kept me stocked on pistols. The H400 was one of the first limited guns, So I took the clue at that time that MA wanted them in circulation and wanted to make them widely available and popular so decided I may as well be part of the supply chain as long as it could benefit me. It worked until they spread more of the supply to bristlehogs and more limited weapons were introduced. Too hard to do now with so many limited items. I was about 6 globals shy of 100 which was one of the goals I had set for myself. Almost 2 years later I now have 96 feff globals under my belt. #95 and #96 were small lucky incidentals. One all oils and one with an H400 that I kept and burned up. But did not think for a minute I could do again what I once did. I`m a miner at heart anyhow and only switched to feff since mining had soured for me.

Hopefully with the regen the adjusted loots will work in your favor.

Some things I noticed that pre regen the esi`s came in waves. I did global way more on raiders and guards perhaps because more of them are killed than the higher maturities. My biggest global on them was from a clan warlord with an H400 and esi in the loot. I did all my hunting for them out of Ft Fury in runs of 5k ammo at a time several or more per day. That allowed me to repair without having stuff break in the field. Most globals came just sse of the fort on or in the area of the mound or feff hill if you will. And as soon as I would tell a friend they would come out and uber on them while I grinded away. That happened at least twice. I used a bravo to tag mainly as a slow way to skill plasma rifle. And I wore a set of kobold with 2a plates. At the time I think I used a fap50 as my biggest fap with some smaller ones like a fap5 and a fap35 for between mobs or when I did`nt need that much or as fast of a heal. I hope some of this helps.

All of this occured between February and December 2007 for the record aside from my last 2 feff globals. They were in the past year or so.

For sure there is not only one way to the success, in this case to the hof. I meet ppl hunting with that kind of setting as mine... I'll stay on my settings for the moment. Anyway, talking with many ppl regarding camping one mob, one of main idea is that the bad loot period will appear anyway. To try to prevent this it can be a good idea (not working for sure) to change something in your settings (mainly the weapon).
So, I choose to get a set of a gremlin + 5B plates (best eco choice of feffs up to warrior), and one pistol, L version, in SIB (for me at that very moment, HL6 is the choice). Once my second setting is ready I'll do like that... I'll start the hunt with my initial setting (kobold and korss400+104) and i'll make calculus for 25-30 feffs killed (aboout 10k amo). If the result is negative, I'll switch to the second setting.

TYVM for info provided. Useful information. I'm waiting with exciting my first esi, even it will be 10-12ped TT... This will be a sign of starting other loot category. In my last hunt i get the second Isis RL32

In the evening I'll come back with result of last 3 hunts. I'm late with those because i changed some form data report (I improve the reports and data interpretation)

[gotto43]

Last hunts results. I make an improvement to the rapport, especially in the skill gain section. Now the reported data represent the point of skill gain in 10k amo burn. So it can be easily compare results of different hunts, even one hunt was 20k amo and another one 34.6k amo.
