Umm, you earned $293K playing it for 1 hour and you think it needs increasing by 110%..?
Earning 293k per hour doesn't mean that by increasing it by 110% that i'm gonna get 615k per hour, there is an earn limit capped at 380k, And almost all jobs revolve around reaching the earn limit at 35 ish~ minutes
700/2 = 350 (350$ worth of hemps, 350$ worth of herbs), 350/6 = 58.333 [price of hemps and herbs based on the earnlimit equation]
380,000/700 = 542 (amount of trees needed to hit the earn limit)
8 seconds pass from hitting one tree, to it falling, to hitting another.
(542* 8 )/60 [to get it in minutes] = 72.27 minutes to hit the earn limit, clearly the earn limit resets before you approach its end.
If you increase it by 110% that means that you half that time and reach the earn limit in 35-36 minutes, just like almost all the other jobs, or you can make it 100% as to bear in mind how easy it is to level the job up, leveling out the earnlimit time required at 39 minutes.

edit: I've made a slight calculation error, 110% means reaching the earnlimit in 33 minutes, 100% means 36-37 minutes, so on second thought, 100% more is the better option.

Ok so I played this for 10 minutes:

Earnings this hour: $40,600 / $380,000. Hour resets in: 50 minutes.

So $240,000 an hour is clearly not as good as other jobs.

And job level is irrelevant as pay doesn't even take into account your level.

So do any of you actually want to play this job because you somehow derive fun from standing next to a tree, clicking fire, then to another tree and waiting 5 seconds and clicking fire again?

No, I bet you don't, so really why are we wasting any time on this? Because you just want another way to farm cash..? :fp:

Why do you think farming money is a bad thing or something we should refrain from, even though we can only earn 380k per hour because of the earnlimit? A civilian would need to play for 2.5 hours daily to earn 1Mil / day and you think that time is nothing. Nowadays, players hardly get any time to play because of their busy lives and you are afraid that people will farm money  :huh: even though the Earnlimit concept is already there.

You can say the same about other jobs, farmer for example. You plant crops, wait idk like 2-3 minutes, then harvest, seems like fun? no, it doesn't. What about iron miner? you click rocks, waste manager? you drive from house to house over and over, so really it's all the same concept as the lumberjack, just different variations.

No, I bet you don't, so really why are we wasting any time on this? Because you just want another way to farm cash..? :fp:
There is a thing called same resource, different ways. So you have 2 resources, hemps and herbs, now you have different ways of farming it. You got farmer, as I mentioned above how it works, that sounds boring doesn't it ? yes but do people still play it ? Yes they do because it provides them with plenty of hemps and herbs, now others maybe prefer the continuous work aspect of getting the resource like lumberjack as they don't like waiting. Now that doesn't sound like a problem because it's providing different ways to get the same resource, allowing people who prefer continuous work to work as lumberjacks, or people who like to wait to work as farmers.

Lumberjack is dog shit right now. It takes too long to reach earnlimit and its not afk friendly at all. So there's no incentive to work on it after L10.
It should be buffed simply because of how boring the job is and also because of the very short downtime.

For as long as I can remember this job has never been played by players. The earnings were always lower than earnings in other jobs. Now players just playing this job to get easy cash by fast leveling to L10 and leaving it forever. I agree with you that buff is required here.

It used to be the best job before but it was nerfed so hard. If any newbie asked for best job, people would suggest lumberjack as it is good to level up and used to give easy money but wasnt overpaid as other jobs. And due to the nerf prices of hemp and herbs are higher and cant be even found on F7. So positive :tick:
