Question Rate of Farming: Perspective

Hi. I was wondering, for the experienced farmers out where, who are level 20, what is the average rate (say, per minute or hour) that you accumulate gold and items from farming?

That is, what would be considered a bad farming spot versus a good one, assuming that you sold half of the items you got, salvaged half the others, and came across some rare items that you didn't sell?

I need perspective!

some areas like UW can give you two items worth 10k to 20k each on a single run other times you get nothing big.
my solo/monk makes about 10k in half an hour

I get about 1-2k every 5 min... but I usually get distracted with something before each farming run so my hourly rate of gold diminishes greatly

Good UW run = >50k in about 15-25 minutes
Bad UW run = <10k in about the same time.

Um.. other places. It really varies. Some areas are a huge gamble (rune farming) because you could get 50-80k in one run.. but then never have a run like that again for ages. So it may not be worth your time.

1-2k in about 5 minutes is a good run for gold. If an item actually drops then hey, all the better. Gold items have become more and more scarce.. and sometimes the mods are just so brutal.

Sometimes you'll just have a run of bad luck, and you will make next to nothing in a half hour. You need to rotate your farming spots. So it's best to have a couple.
