My Experience in Making My Own LUCK (CRAFTING)

I have had my hofs capped, by what I don't know, to 1322 peds or under. It is frustrating. All of the peds I cycle, all of the hours spent playing. It seems there is no way to break through this glass ceiling. I mean, I can see through it but I just can't punch through.

So, what did I do... I tried a few clicks of level 2 lights on condition. 5th click in I got 1320 ped hof. Seriously... Why is it keeping me in this range?

I then decided to get a few L prints, shear xr's, bull tacs... I proceeded to hit three more hofs 1K+ on these L prints.

My experience is that as long as you have the success rate maxed, you will get your best crafting return doing L prints on condition. A lot of things worth crafting use materials of such a high markup that I don't think it is possible to profit at all doing them on quantity, unless you can do short runs of bigger items that you can make with residue and turn a profit on that way... But, if you are tired of not hoffing, or just want to see if you can change your luck, get yourself a 20 or 30 click L bp, try a bull tac10 or a Shear XR 40 print. The tac10 runs about 3.5 peds a click. I promise most of you wont be deposited. AND

What further confuses and confounds me:

If I lose a bunch of peds hunting or mining, I can take a L print and usually get some or most if not all of my losses back. My experience is every 5 to 10 runs you can expect a hof, but whether the hof is big enough to recover your losses, hard to say. But if you play eco a lot, it doesn't hurt to shake up the system every so often with a condition L print run.
