Missions & Complexes

I am doing lvl 4 missions for sisters in 0.5 sec on Assault frig and i have a question, which bother me every time - is it worth salvaging/looting stuff (tractor unit while doing and destroyer after) when parts of missions cant be completed through blitzing or it's too cheap for now, even for refine and i should not waste time on it and go farm lp faster?

To get the best of both worlds, only salvage the large wrecks. While doing that cherry pick through all the loot and keep the high meta lv mods to sell in market. Shouldn't take long at all since the usual average of wrecks containing loot is about 1/5th and of those only 1/3rd will actually contain something other than Metal Scraps.

Loot (the good stuff) is worth just as much now. The stuff that used to sell for mineral value now sells for less. As for whether it's worth it? That depends wholly upon time.

Since I only have enough time for 1 or 2 L4's a night (when I have enough time for them at all) I go ahead and drop an MTU in any non-drone missions and come back for loot/salvage in a noctis.

The other day in "The Assault" I made 21 mil in bounties and 24 mil in loot :)

Pretty much what I do, keep the high lvl meta gear, salvage the wrecks, reprocess the low meta gear into minerals.

Salvaging is worth it, anything else is a waste of time. All lvl 4 loot's sellprice has dramatically gone down, not even looting the large wrecks is worth it anymore.

In Amarr space a Modulated Tachyon Beam laser usually sold for +750.000 isk, now it sells for roughly 150.000 isk.

If you were to look through all the wrecks, look for the Internal Force Field Array and for the Pseudoelectron Containment Field. Both are damage control units and sell for +4.5 million isk each.

Most salvage prices are unaffected though and are still worth doing.

Nevermind.

So has anyone run the numbers post nerf? The loot value given in game does not represent current market prices very well at all. It appears to take some time for it to catch up. I think I got about 180 on 230 last time I sold but that was right after the patch.

Amarr guns etc not being worth much, that is generally true for all weapons when you are trying to sell em at that factions market.
Amarr-ship guns sold in Amarr, Projectile Turrets in Rens etc.

Missioning close to Jita has it upsides too. Can get decent prices on loot but mostly the items I buy (ammo, modules etc) are as cheap as it gets.

Is it worth looting/salvaging? Depends very heavily on mission. Another factor could be, what are you doing simultaneously?
Surfing the web, watching a movie? You could salvage and loot a mission at the same time.
And then when you are more into action and stuff, just skip the looting/salvaging part.

Also, tags from faction missions are still good for the time and energy. Standings be damned, I say. If I need something from Gallente or Minmatar space, I have alts that can do the heavy lifting in that department.

Ah, that reminds me of something. A little off topic, but it would be nice to have deployables not owned by you colored as yellow to help discern them from your own on the fly. Unless there is a way to have overview show only yours and not everyone's that I missed. That and that damned tug-of-war thing they like to do gets a little annoying at times.

Back on topic, I use to use a rather simple filter that was set to show items according to a certain estimated value. I kind of would advise against that, though, and stick with a Meta filter or something like that since the estimated is just that and sometimes way off base with local buying prices. At 300,000 ISK value or higher, I would still find the odd item stack that was worth less than a thousand ISK (cheap survey scanners would still show up for instance) and quite a few others that where well below 300,000.
