Default 56 minutes of seafuries:

Significant Loot:
3 Opal Bracelet
2 Sapphire
2 Fire Emerald
3 Mithril Amulet
1 Emerald Ring

Platinum Earned: ~990 + small change.

Seafury Cyclopses Killed: 16

Class: Bard

I'd say that the number of Seafuries available to kill was average whereas the loot was very good (ie I got way more valuable items than I usually get).

The reason I posted this was because Nalkin and I were skeptical of when people say that Seafuries earn 1.5K an hour on average. These stats are helpful in that they establish how many seafuries a 50 Bard should be able to kill in an hour (I hope so at least - if another 50 Bard would like to try this out on a good day and see how many they kill in 56 minutes that would be great), but not very helpful in that it was very clearly a lucky day in terms of loot, so this doesn't disprove people who exaggerate how good the loot is (either way, knowing how many are killed per hour by a Bard at least allows us to determine how much platinum a player makes per Seafury (regardless of class) on an average day, which is useful). Nalkin's probably going to post more stats, if any other seafury-killing classes could post similar stats that would be cool too (Bards, Necros, Enchanters, Mages, quadding classes, etc.)

edit: if you're going to help out with this, post the relevant info (class, loot, money earned, number of seafuries killed, time elapsed, whether it was a good day/average day/bad day, whether the loot was good/average/bad, etc. Using /log helps to keep track of this information)

edit: (also just to be clear, I stopped after 56 minutes because my mana ran out and my method of killing them uses Charm, which uses up mana)
