How is currency-per-hour calculated?

Each method has a base reward per run and an average run time. The tool divides reward by run time to get a per-minute rate, multiplies by your gear and luck modifiers, then scales to 60 minutes. The methods are then sorted highest-first.

What does the gear level modifier do?

Higher gear lets you clear a run faster and survive tougher, higher-paying content, so it raises both clear speed and the reward tier. The tool models this as a single multiplier applied to the base hourly rate of each route.

Are these exact in-game numbers?

They are realistic estimates, not extracted game tables, because reward rates vary by patch, region, and event. Use the ranking to choose between routes; treat the absolute totals as a planning estimate rather than a guarantee.

Does a currency or luck charm change the result?

Yes. A luck or currency bonus is entered as a percentage and multiplies every route's output equally, so it raises your totals but does not usually change which route ranks first unless a route is reward-capped.

Why does the best route depend on session length?

Routes with long setup or travel time are penalised more in short sessions because the fixed overhead eats a larger share. For very short windows, quick repeatable runs often beat slow high-value hunts.

Picking the wrong farming route wastes a whole play session. This calculator ranks the common Monster Hunter currency-farming methods by how much gold, zenny, or in-game currency they yield per hour for your specific gear and luck setup, then projects the total for the time you actually have to play.

How it works

Every route stores a base reward and an average run time. The per-hour rate is:

runs per hour   = 60 / average run minutes
base per hour   = reward per run × runs per hour
adjusted rate   = base per hour × gear multiplier × (1 + luck %)
session total   = adjusted rate × (session minutes / 60)

Routes are then sorted by adjusted rate, highest first, so the top row is the most efficient choice for your inputs.

Example and tips

With 90 minutes, mid-tier gear (a 1.2x multiplier), and a 20 percent currency charm, a fast event quest paying a small reward per quick run usually out-earns a slow elder-dragon hunt, because clearing many short runs compounds the per-hour rate. As your gear multiplier climbs, the longer high-value hunts catch up and eventually overtake the quick routes. Re-run the tool whenever your gear improves or a paid event goes live, since both shift which route ranks first.
