Hey mission runners, I was wondering why nobody seem to be running missions for thukker in order to get nomad implants. I know there is quite a few people looking for a set but there doesnt appear to be any on markets or forum.
There is one level 4 kill agent in empire (Altrinur) so it shouldnt be terribly different than running navy missions. Looking at the lp cost for the implant set, it takes 709k lps and 472 mil isk for a full set. Now, people are willing to pay over 2 bil for a full set which - unless I am missing something - makes for a far bigger isk/lp ratio than farming navy ravens.
So is anyone out there actually running Thukker missions?

Originally by: Leandro Salazar The problem is exactly that the LP reqs for them are hilariously high, and people do not expect anyone to be willing to shell out the isk to actually make it worthwhile. And tbh, if your numbers are correct (too lazy to check), even at 2 bil per set that is 2155 LP per isk, which is a ratio achievable with items from the better standard empire LP shops as well. And it is not unlikely that the Thukker LP shops offers stuff with better isk/lp as well. So either not worth the bother running for Thukker, or you get something better running for thukker. If you want Nomads on the market, bug CCP to bring their LP reqs in line with other low grade implants, rather than above other HIGH grade implants.
correct me if I am wrong, a navy raven is 600k lp and sells for 300 mil minus the cost of the raven

There are many high quality L4 Caldari faction kill misson agents that give out loads of LP per mission. There are no high quality L4 Thukker faction kill mission agents. Therefore, its more time consumining to get the LP for a Nomad set than a CNR.
The empire thukker agent has quality 0. On the other hand 300 mil for cnr minus the cost of the t1 raven and chip is 200 mil for 600k lp, for the nomad set, assuming you sell at 2,5 bil you are looking at 2 bil for 700k lps; which is nearly 10(!) times as much as the CN raven farming...

Isn't 2 bil / 700k nearly 3k lp/isk? Besides, really I am just looking for someone who is willing to farm those sets since the reward looks very good.

A. No one sells Nomad sets for 2 billion. B. Nomads have been selling. C. You need to look a little bit harder

My whole thread is about why people arent running those apparently very remunerative missions so you may want to learn to read. Last set you linked is also over two months ago.
Anyways, pasting from the thread you linked:
Originally by: Astro Creep The full set cost exactly 708,750 LPs from any of the two Thukker tribe corporations (387,450 without the Omega). Thukker has 3 Lvl4 agents in empire space >0.5, and access is easily attained by doing a few COSMOS missions for them in the Algintal constellation.
At 3Bn ISK you're asking 4,233 ISK/LP which translates to approx 20-40M ISK/hour depending on skill and gear. That's about 4 times as much as the LP worth of other factions. NICE!
Looks like mission running might be worthed again ... you'll find me in Altrinur for the next couple of days!
Considering the last two sets sold for 5 bilions... I just dont understand why people arent filling the market with these implants.

Nomad implants are now selling for 4 to 6 bil easily. This is massive profit for the LPs.
Alot of people dont know about these missions and implants so posting this hoping more will run the missions and bring the prices down, while making great profits for themselves.

Yes am just saying perhaps new farmers will see this as an opportunity to profit from a hole in the current market and more new players will undertake the thukker mission way. There are also people in 0.0 running pirate missions that could access thukkers.
Assuming you are just starting to run level 4's, at current prices thukker would be way more profitable than others.

Forgive my ignorance, when you refuse a mission you lose standings but not LP right? So why do you have to wait 4 hours, I assume a farmer will build up more standing than are lost by refusing the odd mission.
Also if you actually make 4x the profit then as long as you can farm for 1hr20 between each 4 hour break you are still making as much isk as a navy farmer working for the full 5hr20.

Edited by: Goberth Ludwig on 22/02/2009 17:01:10 Yeah Daemien thats why I posted, or at least to figure out why they are so damn expensive.
I understand the minmatar standing is a big issue - however does the minmatar police follow u to the mission? do they scramble you? is it a big issue?
Another thing: I remember when I lived in stain alot of my corpmates ran sansha missions and it was good money for them. So why dont people do the same in syndicate? Is it far more dangerous than stain?
Lastly - what about afk running courrier missions with 2-3 alts at the same time? Ok will take a long time till all 3 can cash in a full set but then its 15+ bil isk jackpot so even if it took a couple of months it would still be great profit no?

Can be done afk while working or studying or playing on alts^^.
