I find it hard to find areas to run 100 bombs with, excluding CND ofcourse.
But yeah maybe because I only recently started logging my finds.
And ofcourse I have no money for 100 bombs now but that aside :P that should change in the future (hopefully).

I am thinking about showing my finding patterns to, as seeing yours and sofia is quite interresting!

KK here it goes. Loot is very bad lately for me. Almost looks like MA is trying to send me a message. Something like 'Stop with EU because it were are taking all your peds back!!'
I now I'm wining right now but I'm really pissed. Also did a 100 ped run on molisks today (they looting well lately for other pll) but I lost 40 ped whit this run. (remembers me why I started mining )
So now I got some problems pedcard is down to 50 ped afther selling my last ores. I still got some stacks of all the hunt (hides, wools, paints, molisk tooth ...) All together 100+ped and they are some things I can sell. but only in a emergency. Like a tp chip, my ME and Mind Implant.

Now about the mining runs. There seems something really weired. Every run is bad in the beginning. Sometimes you get good loot but then 10xNRF and your profit of the IX claim is totally gone.
Also the NRF's always come in series of 5-12 (and this happens allot lately :p)

Hopes it changes very fast for me because I need it. Trying new area's whit now success and mine in other good known area's whit no success really gets me irritated
Back to sweating for the rest of the day I guess

BTW any tips or response always welcome

Well, truth to be told, I've noticed that I can't make a profit out of a run with ores when I get IX since my very first runs, unless you get it on a really short run! One XI or larger can usually make the difference. Same like getting one VII for enmatters during a not so good run.. With them, IX or higher is the way to make profit, then.

As you may see from my last run, I had minor loss when ending the run with a IX, mostly because of a 12NRF row which occur ever so often. however, this has always been like that! It only means you're going through your bad period in mining. I'd say with that kind of budget you have there, maybe switch to enmats until it gets better..?
