    Ask and you shall receive.

    Chopping random trees in an area I have never harvested before yields:

    1 hour session, 6:52 - 7:52 PM EST - 24,475 gold/hour selling at the cheapest board prices.

    220 oak boards - 4,400 @ 20g each.
    8030 regular boards - 20,075 @ 2.5g each.

    First session harvesting pure oak trees yielded 5890 TOTAL boards over a one hour period.
    Second session harvesting random trees yielded 8250 TOTAL boards over a one hour period.

    At first I wondered why the huge discrepancy over the same period of time. I harvest at maximum efficiency whenever I cut, constantly chopping as soon as the graphic allows. Literally no time wasted. After delving further into the matter I found out that the reason why 2360 less boards were harvested during session one is because oak trees are not next to one another. They are separated by no closer than 8 spaces in either direction. The wood gathered during session two was harvested by trees that were side by side for the most part with very minimal movement involved. Another reason, albeit less important, is that when you're harvesting oak trees you have a chance to fail. When harvesting regular trees you harvest wood on every single swing decreasing the amount of time spent at each tree.

    I ran some more hour farming sessions with my disco tamer including AW's, balrons, WW's, and elder gazers. So far blood elementals are easily the highest yield of gold per hour simply due to the sheer number of bloods that spawn in the east sector. There's pretty much a continuous supply to kill. Elders were the second best yielding around 79k/hr, and hythloth balrons were a close 3rd with 75k. I don't have all of the exact details atm as I am at work, but I will update when I get home.

    I farmed dread spiders with a fencer medwarrior and was able to pull out roughly 50k/hr from that spot with great ease (summon demon used to tank the dread while I railed it with a slayer)

    Wish I had exact numbers for you, but 50k/hr was probably what I would round the average to based on 10hrs in August.

    This place is horrible for solo melee. The avengers dp on almost every hit (at least they did on me) so I had to run away to cure/heal frequently, which really slowed down the kill rate. The item loot was all crap but that could have been due to some bad luck.

    If you can kill just matriarchs then this place would be an easy gold farm.

    I'd be interested in the best mobs to farm to get slayer instruments as well. (I seem to only get silver, so I guess I'm mostly fighting humanoids)

    I was just collecting some data for Arctic Ogre Lords but my session was cut short by Mes invising a single AOL so I'd flag grey and he could attempt to kill me (nice try)... I guess avoiding PKs should be accounted for(especially at this spot). So here's some data anyways:

    Type: Bard (NO Disco yet)
    Place: Ice Dungeon - Arctic Ogre Lords
    Time: 6:30 - 7:25pm PST

    Gold Looted: 42,835
    Gold from magics (I didn't ID and vendored everything): 6,453
    Total Gold per hour: 49,288
    Treasure Maps: 1 (Adeptly)
    Episodes of 'True Detective' Watched: 1
    Messages from me in IRC: 0 (True detective is that good.)

    Weapon: +15 Double Axe of Power* [Not a Slayer, since Harpies have no group]
    Place: Cove Level 2 Stone Harpy Room
    Time: 8:10-9:10am EST [Only saw one other player stop by to check the spawn]

    Loot:
    Gold Looted: 12,041
    Gold from junk magics/gems: 2,648
    Total Gold per hour: 14,689

    Platinum: 1 from a Stone Harpy
    Others: 7,200 Feathers [Price Check on these are 2g per, netting a total of 14,400]

    Total loot hauled in with feathers: 29,089* edited for new feather price, not quite as impressive

    Very boring hunt since there is no slayer available but the profits are nice! This can be a fairly popular spot since there is a harpy boss mob that spawns, so be weary if you are a new player hunting these for some start up cash!

    When I first started here I hunted the stone harpy room a decent bit with blade spirits. The area is closed off and has no magic casting mobs. You can run and hide really easily at any time as well. The spawn rate is definitely fast enough to use 2-3 blade spirits at a time. Perfect newb spot.

    Weapon +10 Bardiche of Might/Repond
    Place:
    Wrong Executioners
    Time: 9:58-10:46am EST [2 PK's rolled onto the scene ending it early, there was also a mysterious phantom gate around the half hour mark prompting me to bring in my thief buster to run a detect macro]

    Loot:
    Gold Looted: 18.099
    Gold from junk magics: 2,387
    Total Gold per hour: 20,486

    Platinum: 0
    Others: 2 Silver instruments, 1 silver weapon of might, and a few fortification leather items

    Grand Visor did spawn near the end of my farming, was clearing room to kill when the PKs showed up not giving me a chance to farm him.

    Probably a chest picker.
    Have you ever taken down the grand visor 1v1 with a dexxer? Just curious how accomplishable it is. That thing hits so hard.

    ^^ I actually sat back and watched the PKs take down the Visor as well as atleast 2 other unsuspecting players that rolled in to farm. As for the gate I was able to detect a short time later that it was an Urk that had been gated in.

    I have taken the Visor down before, but I had to use a few blade spirits to tank while I hacked away.
