The real point is:
1. total TT cost to kill (you use barbarella so there is no weapons MU involved)
and after 50k bottles collected ( about 170 ped shot to kill target)
you can show how much it has yield.
now the BAD part... to collect 50k bottled at 600 per hour yuou will need 90 hours
so this can be rather BORING but manufacture (apart the useless sweat gather skill) a big bunch of defense and concentration skills.
Just a few corrections but the logic is corrrect.
Swunting at 600 bottles per hour is near impossible*. Sweating 600 bottles in 1 hour is an oddity that can happen on rare lucky occasion while in group.
The general rule is that a bad mob who doesnt hit much will take about 50-65 minutes per 300 hp or about 18-22 min per 100 hp.
100 hp costing about 0.38p to kill and hp == bottles. 50 000 hp / 100 * 0.38 = 190p(assuming no armor + z12 and no concentration.)
*The only exception is while using a concentration chip which will net you about 800 per hour but at the cost of concentration chip decay + sweat + nexus.
Also not to forget that while it doesnt intterupt you to be hit, it does restart the pull attempt making it longer with each hit to pull that 1-4 bottles.
Now the bad part is even worse as on average a swunter will get about 2700-3300 sweat per 10 hour SWUNT due to mobs hit. and that average about 16.5 days of swunting to collect 50k sweat.
As far as profit, the sweat at 1.2pk would be worth 60p. Based on a 190p hunt, a player need only 130p to break even at the low value of 1.2p/k. This impact mean that at this low price, a player break even at 68% TT return. Yeah, swunting is "profitable". While the word profit apply to ingame function and that I do enjoy swunting when I got little time to be on comp and want mission progress or crafting mats. I still find that realisticaly, 50k sweat which take 16.5 days or 165 hours of computer electricity + computer decay isnt really worth doing it for 6$ as that decay from comp and electricity will probably cost you 5$. Still... If you wanna PROGRESS when you cant really be active ingame. It's nice!
I compare sweating to those flash games and mobile game where you can set your avatar to grow at a very slow pace while unable to attend the game.
Waste of time
It sure is! Like I mentioned, this isn't for money. Just to have a goal to work towards. I'm a software developer and work from home, this gives me some dopamine from watching the number go up.
Maybe it's useless but I still find his reply far more of a waste of time than your swunting as it only provide decay, no content and 0 return. Im not against his reply tbh... I guess my point is. Is there really something useful ? I dont see how messi doing anything more useful either doing his big stuff moving pixels faster. He enjoy it and thats really all that matter. (really just taking a big spender, no targeting or disrespect intended. Anyway, I know how he love to swunt! He always kill the players at royal to get the ambu sweat for himself!!
