Final Recap:

Just a reminder:
https://www.uoforum.com/threads/treasure-hunting-with-efficiency.98441/
there are links to steam macros and such in there for ID and sort.

Update for those keeping track:
  • These tests were done using 50 maps as the basis.
Assumptions:
  • I adjusted the minutes / map based on my findings as a provo / mage
  • if you are using a tamer, you are much more effective on the higher level maps
  • if you have a Davies locker, you can get multiples of the same location and increase gold/hour
  • minutes / map is also based on using a macro to loot your chest
  • doesn't include the additional frags you may find - consider them a bonus
Results:
  • Level 1 maps: 3,468 / map (2.5 minutes / map) 83k / hour
  • Level 2 maps: 7,599 / map (5 minutes / map) 91k / hour
  • Level 3 maps: 13,412 / map (8.5 minutes / map) 95k / hour
  • Level 4 maps: 20,061 / map (12 minutes / map) 100k / hour (found 2 frags on 50 maps)
  • Level 5 maps: 33,500 / map (15 minutes / map) 134k / hour* (found 4 frags on 50 maps)
  • Level 6 maps: 71,000 / map (25 minutes / map) 170k / hour* (found 5 frags on 50 maps)

*With level 5 & 6 maps the drop rates on portal frags are noticeably higher, as well the drop rate on vanqs seems to go up quite a bit. There are significantly more items to process as well, so takes a bunch of time after you've done the actual map to realize those profits.

And you have to remember with lvl 5s going for 15k per and 6s going for 25/30k per while 1234s going for 500 1k 2k and 4k your actual profit will be dependent on price you paid... Great conclusion

nice grab Nappaca!

@batman That's a good point, on lvel 6's doing 2.4 maps, you're going to basically be making 100k / hour, with level 5 maps, it's going to drop to around 75k / hour, and level 4's, about 80k / hour. If you can manage level 6's they are teh most profitable, but if not, it seems like level's 1-5 are really about even at the 75-80k / hour, so it all depends on how much you like portal frags, which seem to drop at a higher rate on higher level maps..

Theres no way to absolutely guarantee any lvl map value.. But with that said the benefits of doing a lvl 6 compared to a 5 ( etc lvl down) .. Has the potential to being huge.. Portals, paragon chest, taming scrolls etc is more likely with a 6
But with that said this is a hella great guide and will help new and old thunters for yrs
