I hate to beat a dead horse here, but I am seeking clarification on one point.
I get that the base wage for jobs (except the ISA, SS and REB) is 20 (or 30) mhl per hour. Work 2 hours, make 40 mhl (or 60 if you work at those special shops). That much is clear.
But skills leave me scratching my head a little as there is so much input from a variety of sources. How do they add 20 per level of an applicable skill?
As in, Aeria has 9 applicable skills towards work at the MMR, (5 from metal working and 4 from leather working) that adds 180 mhl to her salary. But is that monthly? Hourly? Every 4 hours as some examples have focused on?
If it's hourly then she'd be making 200 mhl an hour (and as much as I like my character and want to see her filthy rich that seems extremely excessive)
If it's every 4 hours then she makes 65 mhl an hour (20 base + 180/4) which I see as reasonable
If it's monthly then it's monthly. Also reasonable.
Again sorry, but I just didn't see any concrete answer to that question in this thread.
