Curse

Hey, I know this is really silly - but I'm the type of person who likes to keep tabs on almost everything I do and make in Guild Wars.

So I made a sheet for feather farming - basically it calculates what you make every minute and second after putting in the main formulas.

Which is basically runes, other (which is cash drops and other item drops), gold items you get, which is calculated at 700g if you intend to sell it at that price, otherwise you can edit the formula to what suits you and feathers.

Then there is the deduction side, basically the price of each salvage, identify and superior salvage you conduct.

In the end it will tell you your exact profit and the sheet is also helpful for seeing the affects of the anti-farming code.

I've added a picture, so you can see what it looks like and also added four of my runs, so you can basically see what it looks like.

If anyone wants this I can host it somewhere for you if you're like me with the whole -tab keeping- thing.

EDIT

Does anyone actually know a site I can host this from?

Anti farming is BS anyway. The more you grind the more likely you get a good drop. The less you do it the less likely you are.

Anti farming does exist..but only if you grind it REAL hard... but great work!

I admire your work - I'm too lazy to keep tabs like that. Just a few remarks:

* I think it's too early to detect the anti-farm code. Your GPS depend heavily on rune luck (i think the expensive are +1 to Primary Attribute runes). It would be interesting if the feathers keep the falling trend or if you get ~50 feathers in each run.

* You can calculate the GPS/GPM in the TOTAL row - no need for #DIV/0!s^^

* Are unid golds really worth 700g? I think 600g, but since I never sell or buy unids I might be wrong^^

Thanks for this. Very cool.

Unid's at 700g is about right.

Feather farming (including rune drops and gold drops) is probably one of the most profitable solo runs you can do during non-holiday times.

CrustyEarl · Feb 04, 2011, 08:23 PM // 20:23

It's profitable during holiday's too as many holiday items drop in addition to your normal drops.

Can't you upload it to Google Docs, and "publish" it so it's viewable to everyone? I did something similar to determine which rare materials I could craft or a profit.

I did a party/sweet/booze calculator, also on google docs https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AmceoZi21lm0dG82UDNTNXNraDREVFRhN08xZ0MyT FE&hl=en

Presumably this is for jaya NM - I did a few NM runs recently, but I mostly do HM. I prefer chest title and luck title and the chance for decent gold drops.

Just got done with a HM run - 36 minutes (no cons), 3 golds (1 chest drop), 187 feathers, 104 irons, ~60 bones, 4K vendor trash, and a +1 fast casting (!!!) rune, along with ~800g worth of other useful runes. It comes in around 500g/m, so pretty much like NM.
