After some hunts that went the amount of available PEDs to go downward I got back to positive balance again.
I tried Longu, Trox, Armax and other bit higher mobs, but every time it was bad luck again.
Than I went hunting tantillions to get also a bit more evade skills as I still need to unlock avoidance. Sometimes in that area I cannot refuse to shoot at those tables that live there also. So I shot at a tantardion and got bingo. A 115 PED global.
I still walk in pixie + 3A, but am shooting now with Opalo + 101 and a Korss 380 + 103.

I did some more hunts there and had some more profit.

Last 3 hunts there : +111 PED, +5.60 PED and +13.22 PED.
Now lets see how long this will last this time.

Inspired by this post on EF I deceided to give this a try.
I went in full pixie with 3A plates after foul young with a M1a+102 and UL1 + 103

The first hunts were not very good, lost 70 ped in the first 5 hunts, but that was followed by 4 hunts with a total profit of 75 ped, so in the long run its about to be break even.

Than I started to experiment with other areas and mobs and lost more peds. Worst run was the drones in Kobold + 6Awith -38 peds.

I still had some S30 and S50 guns in storage and deceided to use those on small mobs like daikiba and exas. Bad also but not that much.
But after I started to hunt Merps near Minopolis it changed. I returned mostly with profit, and when I had a bad run I switched to small molisks that often drop nice tt value shogun parts and NB chips.

After 29 hunts I have a tt profit of 65 PED, spent 900 PED ammo and 340 PED decay.

333 PED of the loot had a markup that was high enough combined with the number of drops to be able to sell it with profit (e.g. hides, teeth, bones, paint)

I went on with some enmatter mining in one of my favourite areas until suddenly…. BAM a BINARY GLOBAL of 345 PED !!!!!!
At the moment the market value is about 800%, but might get up later to 1000%.
This means a value of 2760 to 3450 PED, so around 3k PED.
Well, that 2k drone04 I had was in PEDS the highest I got, but in market value this one is my best until now

Went back from Crystal Palace and tried some mobs I normally could not do with my EP-40 + 104 amp and could indeed handle a lot more of them without dying.
Did Ambulimax up to provider, and even neconu provider worked.
Than I went searching for some Itumatrox.
Took my vigi armour with me (because of the penetration damage they do) and my standard tiger/nem etc mix because of the atrox in that area.
Result : nice global on an Itumatrox Dominant

Later I went more to the “blue area” on NorthWest Eudoria to try some neconu.
The loot from the neconu was bad, so I went back shooting some mobs and suddenly a nice Armax Bull came by and gave me another global.

I went to Crystal Palace this week to check how hunting the aliens would be.
My current setup was not that good, so I got some plates and a pair of ghost gloves.
Grabbed an Isis BL1000 from the auction and amped it with a Cause.
First results were not that good. I had 2 globals of just above 50 peds and the rest was very bad. I use my online loottracker to see how much I win/loose and it seems the aliens can drain PEDcards very fast, you start seeing this after shooting a few of them already.

After all those longu hunts of the League 2007 I went back to mining a bit.
It seemed the longus did not want to give anything to me anymore.
I tried big exa, ambu, bery, armax and some more creatures, but it was all very bad loot.
I grabbed my mining gear and went dropping a bit.
I tried on the middle South of TI between the bristles. No armour wearing, cause it would not matter much against electric damage, but keeping it in my inventory.
You never know when you pick up a “strange signal”. I can handle those bristles up to provider without armour, so that was no big problem.
The result was not very good, but after globsters got me twice I went to the mobless area W of TI. There were the results also not very good and I went to a better spot on Eudoria where I got a nice 53 ped Caldorite stone and some IX and X deposits.

So, the blog I have on Guildportal will continue here.
Maybe I will do more entries here than there

Ok, I started yesterday with my first real HOF in crafting

I gathered some belkar and blausariam and wanted to make some basic bearings to do some enmatamp 101 light crafting.
I noticed earlier that day the HOF trigger was pretty low for crafting (saw a 60 PED HOF from someone).
But I was just crafting for the components and not for the glowballs. First I tried some at Myrene Island where I got the belkar from, but I got very bad results, so I moved to Shinook jungle and continued there. My 2 globals in crafting I also had there.

Later that day I went mining at Argus and saw some Ambulimaxes walking in my way ; got a 62 pedder on the second or third. I saw quite some ambu globals, but also saw a lot of armax globals, and the top on the hof list was also an armax, so I did some mining/shooting at shinook.

The first armax, an armax cow provider gave me 166 ped
the rest of them sucked big even as mining there (maybe the lootpool for mining was getting dry because of that ATH from Dub in that area)
