How is currency-per-hour calculated?

Each route has a currency reward and a base time per run. The tool divides 3,600 seconds by the effective time per run to get runs per hour, then multiplies by the reward. Your gear level scales the run time up or down.

How does gear level change the result?

Gear level applies a multiplier between 0.6 (under-geared, slower clears) and 1.6 (over-geared, faster clears) to your effective clear speed. Better gear means more runs per hour and a higher currency rate.

Are the route rewards exact in-game values?

No. The route rewards and run times are illustrative averages used to rank methods relative to each other. Adjust your expectations to your own gear, patch version, and route execution.

Which route should I pick?

The top-ranked route gives the highest currency-per-hour for your inputs, but a fast mob loop can beat a high-reward boss run because you complete far more runs per hour. Compare the full ranked list, not just the per-run reward.

Find the farming route that actually earns the most per hour

The highest single-run reward is rarely the best way to grind currency. A short route you can repeat dozens of times per hour often beats a long, lucrative boss run. This tool ranks common farming methods by currency-per-hour so you spend your limited play time on the route that pays best.

How it works

Each route is defined by two numbers: the currency it awards per completed run and the base time a run takes in seconds. The core formula is:

runs per hour     = 3600 / effective seconds per run
currency per hour = runs per hour × currency per run

Your gear level adjusts the effective clear time through a multiplier. Under-geared characters clear slower (multiplier near 0.6), while over-geared characters clear faster (multiplier up to 1.6):

effective seconds per run = base seconds per run / gear multiplier

The tool computes currency-per-hour for every route, multiplies by your session length to get a projected session total, and sorts the routes so the most efficient one appears first.

Tips and example

A 35-second mob loop worth 11,000 currency yields roughly (3600 / 35) × 11000 ≈ 1.13M per hour, while a 240-second boss rush worth 90,000 yields only about 1.35M per hour despite the much larger per-run reward — and that is before fight variance. Raise your gear level to see how faster clears push the short, repeatable routes even further ahead. Use the session total to plan exactly how much currency a play session can realistically produce.
