My personal questions are more about when it is economical to use dmg/dpp boosting pills, but I don’t think it hurts if other pills are addressed as others may find their way to this thread as well. I’ll list my questions below and, if anyone has something that they feel is just good general pill knowledge, they can toss that in as well.
•in general when is it a good idea to use pills that cost markup in your hunts?
•how do you decide which size pill is appropriate?
•if you have a sufficient stock of a cheap pill like candy canes, what would make you decide to use 10-15mg pills instead?
Some of these, I am already aware of the obvious answers like Oblivitron (extremely hard to kill mob that has markup preserved by the smallish number of people able to kill it and the controlled frequency at which they are allowed to kill it) and limited time events with increasing rewards for increasing kill counts, but I’m unsure of how to evaluate pill viability for more day to day hunting like codex grinding or trying to build an armor/plate set like Cyrene or NI and am interested to hear how others go about deciding. Again, with a focus on the economical side of the decision making.
It depends on you basicly ?
But at first, you need to take into account pill cost compared to cycled amout.
If you cycle 20ped/hour and use 10 per worth pills then I doubt you should use pills.
If you can cycle at least few hundred peds/hour and plan to hunt non stop for hour then might be worth using some pills.
When to use them depends on the mob hp and your gear.
One thing that is a must is capping crit hit chance to 5.0 after that i find that using 10mg accu is sufficient enough to get a decent amount of crits.
Same goes for reload speed capping that at 15% is a must after that depending on the mob and time it takes to kill i use 10mg hyperstim and sometimes switch to 15mg.
For devastim i use 10mg on normal mobs and 15mg on bosses.
In the end it’s all about killing the mob as quick as possible, crits/speed/dmg give the advantage.
And for skills i would use the 100% juice at least and if u want add the frontier pill to get to 150%.
i consistently maintain HyperStim 10mg, use DevaStim 10mg and AccuStim 10mg when hunting large mobs of 20PED or more, and use 15mg when hunting even larger mobs of 60PED or more
i have seen posts stating that skill gain Pills do not stack. however, since i always keep the Frontier Pills active, i use the 100% skill gain Pills when necessary, regardless of whether it stacks or not
Rule of thumb, if you’re not sure probably don’t use them at that time. When you see you do good (MU-wise!), then it’s the right time to up your DPS by all means at your disposal. So basically you have to notice that a DPS boos will also increase the profit you’re making in certain opportunity
