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

With Tia, i have her set to hacking and crafting. she'll do her daily then craft the crap outta random gun parts she collects.

codes

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?

Sundial wrote: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
