About 5-10pp/hr is about what I've been pulling in for myself
while grouped at L19-20. This is based on my bank account
balance at the end of each playsession, and so includes things
like goofing off, traveling, recovering from deaths, selling
high-ticket items like a shiny brass halberd, etc. Some days
are better, some days are worse. If you only consider hunting
time, then of course it will be higher.

Since the scenario I was hypothesizing involved traveling
across the ocean to Crushbone and returning, I thought I
should use the pp/hr rate I get on average, not when I'm
hunting. If you want to compare over hunting time, then it
only takes about 5-20 minutes of hunting Dvinn to get a dirk
from him.

The crazy thing was I actually went up to about 10-15pp/hr
while I was in Crushbone. Everyone was so busy camping Crush,
Dvinn, Darish, and the Trainer, they didn't seem to care if I
took the royal guard. Those 4pp rapiers add up quick.
