Yea I see it now. I jumped right from the mention of the guide right to reply without reading the posts underneath it Got it now ty.
Here's what I got overall: 732 mibs completed (38 fished up while completing this) 1.5M gold from MIBS - average 2050 per mib 550K gold from selling armor/weps 27 plat - a couple from killing random mobs 80 nets - none completed during this expedition 42 lvl 1 maps - from killing fished up serps 2 lvl 2 maps from killing fished up serps 2 purple amibs from fished up ship-wrecked krakens 4300 bones Wands 624 other 92 mana drain 88 lightning 92 item id 88 greater heal Weapons 202 force 98 power 62 vanq 3000 other Armor/shields 171 fortification pieces 67 invulnerable pieces Gems - about 490 of each scrolls - about 145 of each (lvl 1-6 plus 1 lvl 7) regs - about 4200 of each Also - I did not run into a single person out there. I did most of this in the first 5 days.
Sounds like you made 1.5 to 2mil plus in value when subtracting the initial investment of 2k per MIB. The total used up time (including the hours to type the coords in) would be interesting to get something like a GP/hour out of the data.
i would estimate it took: 4 hours to put the co-ordinates into excel and another hour to sort the mibs so that i didn't have to carry a lot around 4 hours to get 80-90 mibs 3-hours to sort through 80-90 chests and sell off the stuff i didn't want to keep. i would guesstimate about 60-80 hours so far.
So that's something like 30k in GP value per hour. But without much (any?) risk and probably without the necessity to be highly attentive.
i did a little more checking and I think its off a bit - probably 80 hours to fish them up (based off one account that was only on the boat) and 40 hrs to clean them up. so 120 hours is probably better. I would say the risk was very low out there. fishing them up and recalling chests back and forth was pretty busy but still not too bad. Sorting through the stuff was easy with macros, but I'm sure they could be improved.
