Gathering rates are set separately for each level in the calculation methodology. Crafting pace and auction fee apply to all levels.
Calculation methodology
Ore and herbs use a basket: income adds the value of each resource. Defaults are midpoints of estimated ranges for dedicated farming, on foot before 40 and mounted from 40, with moderate competition and trained skill. These are estimates, not Forever measurements. Rare veins, gems and new resources without measured yields are excluded from income.

Rugged LeatherRecipe skill cap: 225. Rank limits use Classic as a reference. Recipes and tools are assumed available and all output is assumed sold. Gathered materials retain market value; reagents use the cheaper auction or vendor price. Leveling, tools, recipe learning and lost deposits are excluded from hourly income.
Two professions do not double your speed: the hour is split equally. Crafts use the best known margin; listing prices do not prove demand. Cooldown crafts, BoP outputs and enchanting services without auction prices are excluded.

Location counts are accumulated observations, not active spawns. The circuit links nearby coordinate groups; terrain, caves and dangerous areas are not accounted for. It is a reference circuit and does not determine units/hour. Click a location to choose a start.

Ore and herb yields are our zone estimates informed by routes and individual Classic reports. They are not Forever statistics or a conversion from map locations to units/hour. 160 light, 80 heavy and 70 rugged leather are individual player reports. Previous saved inputs are migrated; reset applies the new estimates. Gathering can help replace them with your measurements.
