Common Dab profit is assumed based on a 12 hour limit (as catching them requires one slug and crate each)<br>
Common Dab Stew is not included as doing them is a net loss in copper/hr

==Math==
Processing:<br>
(Time to make a full inventory of items + (Sell trip time per inventory × inventories needed)) / 3600 = Items per hour<br>
Products × (Total time per craft + sell time) / Total crafts = Total seconds<br>
3600 seconds / (Total seconds per trip + sell time) = Trips per hour<br>
Trips per hour × Products = Total hourly items<br>
Total hourly items × Profit per item = Copper per hour

Gathering:<br>
3600 seconds / (Total group respawn time + sell trip time per inventory) = Cycles per hour<br>
Cycles × Max gathers per cycle = Max gather per hour<br>
Gathers per hour × Sell or craft profit = Copper per hour

Combat:<br>
(Time for a full inventory + Sell trip time per inventory) / 3600 = Items per hour<br>
Encounters × (Seconds per kill + sell time) / Items per kill = Total seconds for a full inventory<br>
3600 / (Total seconds for full inventory + sell time) = Trips per hour<br>
Trips per hour × Items per trip = Total items per hour<br>
Total items per hour × Profit per item = Copper per hour
