2 spots, 35 lives each: 1,061 s at each.
Round the loop: 26 blocks in 4.7 s at speed 100, sprinting.

A round: 2,126 s for 2 × 35 lives.

We assume a server swap puts you back on the same spot next to the spot, and that each server's spot is its own, so it's full on the next server. A swap takes 15 s, the game's cooldown. A spot's respawn counts from when it runs out, and other players aren't counted. Travel is 4.3 blocks a second walking and 5.6 sprinting at speed 100, a jump as sprinting; swimming counts at 2.2, Minecraft's usual: we don't have data yet on swimming speed on Isles.

How it's worked out

A catch try every 10 s with your efficiency (0) and Specialist level (0): 10 s at base, never faster than 5 s.
33% of tries succeed: 119 successful catches an hour without a break. Each spot lasts 20–50 of them (35 on average), then comes back after 60–120 s (90 s on average). Route · 2 nodes, the best of your strategies here: 119 an hour.
Luck adds extra drops: 0% more of each, 1 a catch. Loot bias would raise the rare ones: set yours on the calculator.
Each drop an hour times what a merchant pays for it. Drops without a price count as nothing.

Guild Angler Gloves is a rare drop and counts at its average: over a short session you may get none, or more. We count a life for each successful catch; we don't have data yet on whether a failed try takes one.

Most items don't have a merchant price on the wiki yetOnly 208 items have one so far. Coins an hour count only the drops we have a price for, so a way can be worth more than it shows here. Each result says how much of what it drops is priced. Prices are what a merchant pays, entered by players and checked before they go live.
