Let me explain - first of all I am talking about high end 40's (remember I am a level 49 provisioner) as the type of level I am comparing myself to, not a level 40 but more likely a level 48-50.
I have seen the number 50g or more earned mentioned several times in posts on forums.
Most reliably of all, I personally know a level 50 char that makes a lot more than 50g a day! How? Easy, she harvests almost full time and sells most of her resources for 3-5g a stack. I am one of the people that buy from her! It does not take a whole day of harvesting to collect 10+ stacks of T5 harvests to sell and I can assure you she collects a lot more than 10 stacks in a session :smileyvery-happy:
I strongly disagree, based on experience. Harvesting 10 stacks of the food/drink resources that Provisioners will buy takes an insane amount of time. At 160+ gathering, in T4 areas, I can put together one stack of something like Wild Apples or Honey in an 8-hour gathering session. This is in Enchanted Lands, where I can basically harvest in rich fields without worrying about agros.Even in a T3 area like TS, the same amount of effort only yields slightly more resources.First, you have to find shrubberies.Second, you have to roll against the game when you harvest.Third, you have to compete against others doing the same thing.Without going into the actual statistics, I can state unequivocally that your statement about harvesting 10+ stacks a day is not correct.
