I didn't track it per say but managed to get at least 7 or 8 successful captures on H1 UM last night, this was as many runs as it took to get about 3000 points. Yes this was using nets.

Captured him once again this AM after about 8 runs through H1. I am also averaging about 1.5 captures per run on the normal mobs so the numbers are definitely all over the place.

If I had to guesstimate my capture rate,  I would say that it is about 10%,  regardless of type, UM (not the Evolve) or normal.

Just to throw a few numbers in there.

A single H1 run is 30 rubies (15 encounters) plus the 44 for Ultra Magnus for a total of 74 rubies at a minimum.

at 10 runs, 150 normal encounters, 10 UM encounters, I am looking at 750 rubies.

Let's figure in some captures based on what I am getting for a rate of 10%.

( 10% of 150 normal = 15 captures x 9 rubies each = 135 rubies

(10% of 10 Um encounters = 1 capture x 88 rubies each = 88 rubies

Total rubies after 10 runs =  973

Energon and Obviously the capture rate isn't static but it is good enough for me. An estimate for me is about 15 to 16 runs through H1 for 1500 rubies.

Energon and Net expenditure

Not going to repeat the math from above but.

70 energon recharges per 1500 points =(15.5 runs x 4.5 energon recharges, not including natural regen)

113 nets spent (I "think" you get about half nets back through encounters so 50% of 225 nets spent)

Total for me would be roughly

70 energon recharges and 113 nets for every 1500 points
