Hey all,
I have been doing some ratting around 0.3 - 0.1 in a Rupture, and recently a few friends have said get the standing increases so we can do level 4's together (They are just finishing off level 2s and starting low quality level 3s) so eventually we can all do level 5's when they are released.
So anyway about a week later I am doing level 2's now and I noticed two things. The quality of the loot from the ships is attrocious compared to ratting. Does this ever change as we move into higher level missions or does it stay the same?
Secondly the one time I kill a Dominion spawn in 0.1 it gives beautiful fantastic stuff, and here I see Dominion spawns in missions all the time...that dont even drop stuff. Are the drops worked out different in missions since you can essentially see so many Dominion spawns in different missions?
I have been doing a little bit of checking around the boards for a similar style of "ratting vs mission running" and the only thing I can come up with is people grind missions to get loyalty points. They dont do it for isk, or drops as such since that is better out in 0.1 areas. I dont have access to a 0.0 area yet but I can only imagine how crazy the bounties and loot would be down there.
So yes, is mission running all about grinding loyalty points for one big pay off? And then do it all over again? Or do you actually get good loot off the mobs?

Well i wouldnt say i ive spent alot of time ratting, but i once spent about 3 days in a row belting in a 0.1 system and got crap all. I would have got 100x more isk in total from running lv3's or 4's.
Afaik deep 0.0 ratting is where the real money is, otherwise get *****ing on lv4's

it random in low sec like a 0.1 you get somewhat decent loot but in domination spawns you can loot some pretty sweet items i have seen implants worth 20-30 mil drop like candy and 10mn mwd's worth 85 mil and the domination warp disruptor drop alot too if you keep at your looting and and get the factions spawn really going you'll be better off cause honestly sharing sucks

Its risk Vs. reward. Ratting in 0.0 is alot riskyer then doing missions due to getting ganked and whatnot so the rewards are better.
Doesnt mean you cant make good money on missions. Once you get to level 4 missions you can chain missions like extraviganza, worlds collide and the other big missions and rake in about 30+ mill per trip....It might not be a crazy loot drop but its steady cash. Plus you get LP in your pocket for that caldari navy raven blueprint Mmmmmmm.

Its also possible to 'farm' implants, 2-3 lv4 missions and youve got a +3 implant of some type. Get a few agents and leave em at 15-20k lp while you use another and you can get a crapload of isk fast.

Whilst that works a better strategy in my view is to get yourself to 120K lps and get the 8x +3 implaant offers
