Before I say anything, I am expecting either backlash or downwards karma, but I don't really care. I'm using maths and statistics based on the actual drop rate. If someone can prove me wrong then I will be glad to hear it.I have posted this on another thread but just wanted to prove it across reddit, and see if anyone can STATISTICALLY prove me wrong.
Ok here goes, people seem to think that sea hunting makes you 250m an hour, which is incredibly accurate.
I'm probably an average player in my guild and i can do 10 sea mon without repair maybe 3/4 times, and this includes a few goldmonts and nineshark which are notorious to deal mroe damage. fight times 2-3 min for me but i'm average within my guild and know many who does 1-2minutes.
theres many
videos on youtube showing this sort of speed. sea monster is busted AF, its like saying money on trees is not op because short children can't pick them or pick them fast. its easy to achieve this sort of speed, and even without controller i can do similar speeds (slightly harder). travel time between sea monsters can be as low as 1-2 minutes and with breezy sail and some gear it takes ~10 minutes to get to farming spots from ratt. 5 minute per monster, 50 minutes = 10 monsters + 10 minute travel time, u can figure ur way back home via map or some other way :) theres also ways to carry more weight/bypass/delay need to go back to ratt as well

125 neidans = 12.5m (avg for candi)
2x shells = 900k (don't remember exact)
100m * 0.08 = 8m average per candi
21.4m per candi. 10x candi in an hr is achievable and 7-8 is very common
so, 150mil VERY EASY if u're not bad. 200m? ACHIEVABLE. u can even get up to 250m/hr average by doing 1-2 min and reducing trips back to ratt or even up to 300m/hr average on arsha (11/12 candi/hr with each candi giving average of 25.4m)
TOTALLY NOT BUSTED OR BROKEN. and im totally doing SMH because of how fun and itneractive it is not because of how much it pays. first few sentences were taken from another post of same title claiming u get trash money LOL
*Edit i mean, most people who has been taught/tried to do SMH has been able to learn to do 4 min or faster with majority form people i know being 2-3 min with a few top tier being able to do 1-2 consistently. i mean technically the average candi time for the entirety of bdo's population may b higher but really? do u guys remember low the average skill level is of new games? this is exactly that and its not even a difficult game to pick up. are you a bronzie? :) sea monster too mechanically challenging and most people won't be able to pick it up\do it decently rite?
*Edit 2, payout ratios - if u farm the same amount as a guild for ~3-4 weeks then u can get almost to maximum sustainable ratio
maximum sustainable ratio for a guild paying 15% tax is 0.4/0.49 = 0.816 and with 20% tax its 0.4/0.52 = 0.769
the 0.4 is 40% payout, and the .49 and .52 comes from 1-(0.6*0.8) <---20% tax, and 1-(0.6*0.85)<--15% tax, or the amount (%) of mnoey u'd need to farm next week, to get back to the same fund. another point. this is also ONLY accounting for money farmed, payout and taxes ignoring salvation army, GMs and nws. another point if u're getting super low ratios consistently, u're getting scammed or u have alot of non sea monster hunters and u're paying their t1 OR ur gm is scumbagging u
theoretical payout with 30 man guild consistently farming 2b/week sorry for formatting
*edit 3, that theoretical payout was done incorrectly, i did 0.85 for only the first payout tax, but did 0.8 for the others, should've been 0.85 for first 3, doesn't change much except it grows slightly faster
