Sir Livingston Viziam Amarr Empire 55	Posted - 2012.01.13 07:31:00 - [1] - Quote Anyone else pulling in this amount of loot from exploration/DED sites in high sec? I'm a long time explorer and I'm fully aware of the randomness involved in exploration. That's why I love it so. I'm simply curious if anyone else has happened to be as lucky as I've been in the past couple days. btw, if you ever see me in local, say hello or convo me. I would be happy to talk 'exploration' with you. o/ Explorer's Log an ongoing video log chronicling my adventures as an explorer of New Eden Click to watch: http://www.youtube.com/user/JonnyPew?feature=mhee

I would be happy to talk 'exploration' with you. o/ A few months ago, I got a Pithum C-type Medium Shield Booster and two Pithi A-type Small Shield Boosters over the course of 2 days, whilst getting less than that over 6+ months of exploring in Blood & Sansha high and low-sec space.
Tian Nu Ministry of War Amarr Empire 9	Posted - 2012.01.13 08:28:00 - [3] - Quote that rather low figure, now i did run the plex in 0.0 so mayby the loot was beter but 2/3 bill day was normal.
Bent Barrel HP Galactic Empire 0	Posted - 2012.01.13 08:38:00 - [4] - Quote hmm I had the slow days last 2-3 ... only made 25m isk in radars ... sure will talk when I see you in local :-)
Geza Rozsavolgyi Teshnology Inc. Stealth Wear Inc. 0	Posted - 2012.01.13 08:50:00 - [5] - Quote I once found stuff worth close to 3 b in about 20 minutes ... chestbeating aside - it varies.
Jarnis McPieksu Aliastra Gallente Federation 200	Posted - 2012.01.13 09:36:00 - [6] - Quote Random is random. Sometimes you strike gold, more often you just get some crap mod worth a few mil. That's what makes exploration fun and, should you stick with it, eventually lucrative. It is the closest thing EVE has to "hunting purples" even if you are actually mostly hunting for ISK by selling whatever faction loot/BPCs you find.
Vixorz Cabronazos 1	Posted - 2012.01.13 09:49:00 - [7] - Quote Very nice Mr. Livingston, Considering you are doing all the stuff in high sec, that means that theoretically in low-sec/null-sec that would be even more profitable. I will get into exploration again very soon. Right now i have some issues with Concord I can't fly a Tengu like you do, but i think i should be ok with an Ishtar. Don't you think ppl? Ps: I have you in my contacts and i have you blue too ;-)

To top it off last night he found a Ded 4/10 with everything destroyed apart from the objective (telescope). He popped that and got a c-type medium booster and shield transfer. As we say in scotland, if he fell out a plane he'd go up the way.
Trinkets friend Obstergo NEM3SIS. 87	Posted - 2012.01.13 10:20:00 - [9] - Quote Wow. I make that selling laser crystals to idiots. Much less effort, and much more reliable source of income. You don't have to rely on CCP's random loot drop algorithms to make money from idiocy. The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.

I can clear a serp 4/10 in a vexor and I am not 2 months old (of course I am not able to break the boss there yet, waiting on t2 drones).

chris katan Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.01.13 13:48:00 - [11] - Quote i do about 3 bil a day, sometimes 4. its been really consistent for the past 8 months.
XXSketchxx Dreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 86	Posted - 2012.01.13 14:42:00 - [12] - Quote When I first decided to use a tengu for exploration, I nabbed about 7 Pithum C-type medium boosters, a gila and worm bpc, 1 pithi a-type small shield booster (got the holy trinity of drops in Gurista Watch final escalation, both a-types and the worm bpc) and a handful of implants/c-type hardeners/faction loot inside of 2 weeks. This was when I was still doing Gurista hideaways while probing as well and when I discovered I could get escalations from them. Granted I was playing for probably 4-5 hours a day (was off from school) and it was when I first started using DSP (before it become public info), but yeah, good streaks happen, just like bad streaks happen.
Dztrgovac University of Caille Gallente Federation 10	Posted - 2012.01.13 14:53:00 - [13] - Quote Incursions pay out too much, nerf incursions... oh wait Awesome numbers. A bit jealous of your luck, but gratz anyway.

A bit jealous of your luck, but gratz anyway. I know you're joking, but the big difference here is that isk made from exploration is largely not due to new isk in the game (overseer effects aside). It is isk that is already being circulated being used to pay for the sexy drops. On the contrary, incursions give out enormous amounts of raw isk. Take it as you will.
Sir Livingston Viziam Amarr Empire 55	Posted - 2012.01.13 15:12:00 - [15] - Quote Thank you all for the responses. I shall now get back to scanning. Good luck out there everyone o/ Explorer's Log an ongoing video log chronicling my adventures as an explorer of New Eden Click to watch: http://www.youtube.com/user/JonnyPew?feature=mhee
Dztrgovac University of Caille Gallente Federation 11	Posted - 2012.01.13 15:23:00 - [16] - Quote I understand the difference. But there was no way to make incursions pay out be in loot and salvage and keep them highsec. Making the exclusively null and low wouldn't have done anything other than giving secure 00 another isk pump; as anyone willing to take a risk would still be doing only WHs. If incursions only payed out LP they'd be worthless by now. There wasn't really a way other than big part of earning being isk. But this is pointless. Just look at latest QEN; incursions simply are not the biggest isk faucet.
mxzf Shovel Bros 371	Posted - 2012.01.13 15:26:00 - [17] - Quote The most insane night I ever had was two LG Slave Omegas, a Centii A-Type ANP, and various other stuff all one night. Random numbers are random though, it all varies. So "working as intended".
5nipe Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 19	Posted - 2012.01.13 15:38:00 - [18] - Quote It is not my record (unfortunately) but friend of mine. He made 3.8 Bil without single jump to low sec within about 6 hours just doing DED 4/10 and escalations. Therefore it was right after Incursion deployment. Next day we both got almost nothing. If you keep accurate records of your hi sec exploration for let's say a month you can figure out that average income is right about 100 M/hour. But once upon a time and only once in my exploration career I had DG Invul , C-Type Med shield Booster + 4 amplifiers and Gila BPC. All form 4/10 GSO in hi sec. Cool story? Well, we all had something once upon a time.

That average has so many factors hitting it (locations, drops, escalation, etc) that its completely useless. There is no isk/hr value that can usefully be applied to exploration.

Dztrgovac University of Caille Gallente Federation 11	Posted - 2012.01.13 16:10:00 - [21] - Quote Well you could get rough Isk/hr by logging all your scanning and doing complexes over weeks; so say after a month you can say "ok I spent 85hr total and earned 5.73bill". But that is really too much chore. I just log systems scanned and distribution of sigs,
XXSketchxx Dreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 88	Posted - 2012.01.13 17:27:00 - [22] - Quote Eh, the problem I have with it comes with the inherent meaning of "average." The probably with calculating an isk/hr or isk/anything average is that the difference between highs and lows can be so massive that any sort of average becomes largely irrelevant when trying to actually apply that isk/whatever to any sort of discussion of your earnings.
Trinkets friend Obstergo NEM3SIS. 92	Posted - 2012.01.14 00:56:00 - [23] - Quote Lets put it this way, if these people were making 3 bil per day doing exploration they'd be on the titan tracking thread defending their ability to pop noobships, not on here lying like lizards.

Dbars Grinding Garoun Investment Bank Gallente Federation 332	Posted - 2012.01.14 06:36:00 - [25] - Quote I made 20 bil in 6 hours in high sec. you guys are doing it wrong.

It is isk that is already being circulated being used to pay for the sexy drops. On the contrary, incursions give out enormous amounts of raw isk. Take it as you will. Most people do not understand that or don't care to think. Either way the farming of incursions is really bad. LP and Isk wise because what happens unlike explorering where people before incursion farming had to save up or say no to good stuff in the game can now farm incusions and buy a few hundred isk module and never care. The incursions need not respawn that is the fix. Just like missions and exploring. I would love to sit at a radar site and farm it over and over and over and over until I get what I want. Or hey Scarlet Pirate respawn was nerfed in 2.5 seconds. Why not make Worlds Collide respawn? Why not? What is wrong with that with incursions in the game? Why don't we totally destroy the economy. Why be halfassed about things CCP?
Dztrgovac University of Caille Gallente Federation 11	Posted - 2012.01.14 11:35:00 - [27] - Quote 00 bot ratting and fully upgraded anoms pay isk quite comparable to highsec incursions.

Lets put it this way: eventually you *can make* 3 Bil per day out of hi sec exploration, but it doesn't mean you will be able to do it every day. And that is what most people will agree with. If you think people are lying by manifesting theirs records they had once upon a time, you have no idea about exploration potentials of hi sec (not to say about low sec). Professional explorer, and I mean professional explorer easily can make around 500 Mil a day in long run.

Dztrgovac University of Caille Gallente Federation 11	Posted - 2012.01.15 01:41:00 - [30] - Quote 3 bill per day is insane luck even for lowsec explo. For highsec it means... you got several GSO 4/10 that dropped extremely good loot. Nothing else in highsec can pay that much. Maybe equivalent angel sites, but just maybe.
