Hunting Snablesnot with Breer P1a (L) at Fort Ithaca on Calypso

When I have low level weapon like Emik S30 (L) [BLP Pistol], Breer P1a (L) [Laser Pistol] or Isis CB5 (L) [BLP Rifle] I go to my favorite place to hunt Snablesnot with no armor. I hope they don't go extinct as the Daikiba. This time I had few Breer P1a (L) and I went to test it. I looted a lot of items and for the first time the unlimited pistol EWE EP-11 Self-Reliant and the new Colonizer armor. Even the FAP-10 I think I loot for the first time from Snablesnot.
Also I think they loot more Snablesnot Skin than before. All that was good indication that I will make profit hunting Snablesnot today. The no looters were a lot too, but I ended up on profit.
From today I will start to log hunts little different. Offensive cost separate (ammo + gun/chip decay) and defensive cost separate (armor decay + healing cost). I think this will help better understand the loot return and the way to make my hunts more economical.
In the end there is nice video from sunset over the new Chug's Hideout.

Loot from Snablesnot

Hunting Snablesnot with Sollomate Opalo SGA Edition at Fort Ithaca on Calypso

Snablesnot

Today the loot was very bad. 90% no looters, but I started that 50 PED Snablesnot hunt and I decided to finish it. The smart thing to do was to change the mob after the first 5 PED ammo and less than 1 PED loot. I knew this will end with low return, but I finished the hunt. At the end Snablesnot started to drop some items and made the things little bit better. I looted 2 Corrosive Attack Chips II (L) and few pieces of Pixie armor. At the end I finished with 70% TT return.
Snablesnot skin has really good price, but I usually collect not enough to make hunting Snablesnot for the skin worthed. In that 50 PED hunt I collected 2.60 PED Snablesnot skin. The mark up of all items will be close to 10 PED which will make the return close to 90% .
Before that I was hunting Daikiba and there was clear difference between the no looters from Daikiba and Snablesnot. Also compared to my previous hunts of Snablesnot this was really bad run. No doubt I will move to different creature now. Also I will start to collect different unlimited armor sets in my apartment, because it is too messy in my storage and I may sell some armor part that I actually need.

Hunting Snablesnot with Isis CB5 (L) at Fort Ithaca on Calypso

Snablesnot

Everyone want to go and hunt big mobs right from the beginning. But it's good for new players to take their time, to gain some skills for their avatar and some knowledge how the game works fer themselves. Grab Sollomate Opalo and kill puny mobs until you get to level 5 at laser profession. When you max the Opalo or the BLP starting weapon Isis CB5 (L) it's good idea to go hunt Snablesnots. They will give you Pixie Armor parts that are not expensive and you can not sell them for profit but they are excellent armor for new players. The Pixie Thigh Guards (M) you can sell for +5-6 PEDs. Also they loot Goblin Armor parts that you can sell for 1 PED more. And the best loot you can get here is the Corrosive Attack Chip I (L) and Corrosive Attack Chip II (L) with market value at the moment around 180-200%. Also you will get a lot of skills killing Snablesnots. In this hunt I used Isis CB5 (L) because I need to gain skills in BLP profession. After all calculations in the end it turned out that I was paid more than $2 USD to play for 2 hours the best RPG ever with the amazing Cry Engine 2 graphic.
