In fairness, anyone who wants to level quickly is always going to take PvE as their primary activity 'cause the energy:exp ratio is by far the best available.

Er... yeah, that sentence was awkward because I switched it around and then didn't change the meaning at all. Whoops. I'll blame foodcoma. :|

What I meant was anyone wanting to level will focus heavily on PvE, not hacking, but will probably use a daily hack/scripting to bolster EXP gain. It's a great secondary skill, but is sorely lacking as a primary skill.

Sundial's Daily

24 hrs = 156 energy (+1 MT/-1 Script)
BnE in Offices sec 2-7 (14) daily = 5 - 25 codes
Energy spent = 70 - 86 approx
EXP = 725 - 825 approx
12 exp/1 energy
cauldren v4/9 codes = 800 exp
33 exp/1 energy
rest of energy = 500 - 700 exp

When it was possible to get codes in team raids she scripted v5-v6 cauldrens (1000-1200 exp) every other day. The results were close to now.

I KNOW I have posted on several occasions that BnE is great for getting codes.

level 38-39 = 18 days
level 39-40 = 28 days

It almost doesn't seem right that you can get that many codes off of B&E, but only maybe a 50% chance of getting one per system for hacking. And that IS on average, it took me 6 systems to get just one yesterday.

There's a 10% chance of a file being a source code so it's actually less than 50% o systems, given most systems have fewer than 10 files :((

Ah, okay.

Is this the place to recite my faithful pet peeve of the randomness being too random in this game?

Day before yesterday only 2 codes in 14 BnE's, though. I agree on the randomness being too random.

lmfao... *huggz* i wasnt trying to be mean or rude, but everytime something nice is brought up, the game is 'updated' and the nice things go away. I know you script as much or more than i do...so was just trying to save us both :D
