New farming highs

Ive been doing some recent tests with ATs because I seem to go through an awful lot of them just by farming, so I decided to try something new.
08:35 ***** 13,339,623,614 Naquadah stolen 15 0 0 88,486 3 details
08:05 ***** 13,339,623,614 Naquadah stolen 11 0 0 85,526 3 details
I use 4 attacks turns less and take the same amount of naq (all his naq), ive tried it using 10 before but it seems to get around 85%~ of the naq, however an 11 Attack turn seems to get around 95% at least every time.
Does anyone else use less then 15 hits when farming? This has obviously been talked about before can someone possibly link me to an older thread?

I used to use 12 turns because 90% of the time it gets all of the naq, but I stopped because the quick buttons are eaiser and I am lazy.

LMAO!!! I am in the same boat as you. I only use the quick buttons since I am lazy.
Best update ever.

743,800,128 Naquadah
670,907,715 Naquadah was taken from the realm 90%

1,091,090,880 Naquadah was taken from the realm 100%
From the 5 attacks that I have shown it is indeed proven that using 11 attack turns can get you 100% of the naq.
Using 15 turns you still have failures and do not always get all of the NAQ.
It is most profitable to use 11 ats. Not only can you hit more people, you use less turns.

you have to weigh up the cost of ats to naq
if you got 100% all the time with 12 ats then its worth doing 12 all the time
but if your getting 90% to 100% then at some point that extra 10% can make a nice huge profit
If i hit and lost 10% then i would lose about 20b or more so it would not be worth it for me
great for the small guys no good for the high guys

ye but even as a farmer should know that sometimes even using all 15 ats can sometimes leave a small % of naq behind

^ Exactly what he said. 15 at does not guarantee all of the naq.

Sometimes it leaves a bit behind Arc. I usually find if I've hit the guy LOTS of times (aka in a war) or someone else has, is when some gets left behind.
Though the quick keys are good hehe!

Well if your not lazy then I guess it doesn't matter, but for the unlazy people its a good way to save 30% of the turns for 90%~ of the naq xD
I was also considering raiding using 1 AT almost like massing but Im way to lazy for that lol.
