56 minutes of Guard Fredrick

3 Fine Steel Short Sword

Platinum Earned: ~15 + small change.

Guard Fredricks Killed: 5

Class: Shaman

I'd say that the number of Guard Fredricks available to kill was average whereas the loot was very good (ie I got way more fine steel short swords than I usually get).

The reason I posted this was because I was skeptical of when people say that shitty-loot North Karana guards earn 1.5K an hour on average. These stats are helpful in that they establish how many Guard Fredricks a 35 Shaman should be able to kill in an hour (I hope so at least - if another 35 Shaman 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 Shaman at least allows us to determine how much platinum a player makes per Guard Fredrick (regardless of class) on an average day, which is useful). If any other Guard Fredrick-killing classes could post similar stats that would be cool too (Bards, Necros, Enchanters, Mages, quadding the same guard four times simultaneously classes, etc.)

edit: if you're going to help out with this, post the relevant info (class, loot, money earned, number of Guard Fredricks 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 podcast finished and my method of killing them uses me listening to a podcast so it's not so boring)

amazing, would read again
