Please keep those little logs BK, it is actually pretty helpful to see where others are at.

I suppose that if you closed the 100's Cuhof loop, you havent had any luck at the foot guard yet?
And seeing no discovery on Baraka Adjusted on EL, that Taqwa is still only dropping in Cuhof 05?

I dont really track my peds, but i can tell that i got my first part at ~60k cycling in Cuhof - Though they were undiscovered, so may a been harder to drop at first.
But i also got the last two missing parts back to back the same day few months later.
So dont despair, rare hunting in instances is challenging, but not impossible.

Just keep it up :)

No luck in the foot department so far. I want to do alot more but the return is just to bleh.
The mu covers it at the moment but that is only if you can sell Mirsal and that isn't to easy.
I do not have the means to stock that mutch ped unfortunatly.

I haven't heard anything about Taqwa dropping anywere else. Could be people are keeping it to themself tho.

Rest of the log this march is going to be from inside Armor Cuhof. Will be posted around mayhem start.

For some reason my return keeps dropping. I expect this to be because of the armor instance. Those mobs are very likely to big for my setup. I welcome any suggestion anyone might have.

Most people refuse to acknowledge this so you have that going for you at least 😏

Looking at your setup from your OP (ul lr-20 + a203, vigi+5b, gyrofap 14 smuggler, ares perfected) and looking into your activities (mostly armor instance): my immediate takeaway is that you are killing 1-2k hp mobs with a ~32 dps setup. This means that not only will your downswings (variance) feel like they are lasting forever... it means that the oversized mobs have a disproportionate amount of uptime dealing damage to you as well.

If you are going to take that much amount of decay to armor then you should be confident the markup from the mob will cover those guaranteed losses (not all armor decay is returned in loot) - also, are you deflecting every hit with vigi+5b? If so, this is just compounding the problem. Even more so if you are using the gyrofap 14 smuggler with 9.99 health/pec and are not deflecting.

My general advice to anyone in your position would be to acquire an adjusted resto chip (more eco than armor) which restores 159 health/pec. Drop the plates if you are deflecting and use the resto chip, or drop the fap and use the resto chip if you aren't - and to clarify "your position" - I mean anyone that is taking a disproportionately significant amount of armor and/or healing decay on a regular basis.

If the resto chip isn't within your grasp I'd probably say you should reassess and decide if taking so much armor decay is worth what you are trying to accomplish by killing mobs that are so oversized for your weapon.

Based on your setup I'd guess that at least 2-3% of your long-term loss is from disproportionate armor/plate decay vs dps.

Hope this is in some way helpful bk.
