[QUOTE=Grozmok;596091]Well, according to all of these ballers in this thread, 500pp+ since "Druids can make more per hour killing sea furies in OOT."

I can speak to the comparative opportunity cost of porting vs. quadding seafuries.

After a sample size of 750-1000 seafuries I can tell you that the average seafury drops an average of 41pp in coin, gem and other vendor loot. Killing Seafuries equates to an average of 164pp per quad. This averages about 800pp an hour. If there's very few people killing them, you can make 1000pp an hour and if there's a lot of people fighting for them (in which case I usually do something else), it can be as bad as 200-400pp an hour.

As a wizard, it takes about 70%-80% of my mana pool (decent gear, not uber) to quad. To port someone and then self port somewhere (not factoring in running time), the mana it would equate to would be 37pp.
