New deep sea fishing system Price&Cost Chart (Need some Feedback&Help too)

***Important Notice 1***
You may notice some difference in cost of non-dollar prizes in some contracts "that ONLY have non-dollar prizes, & no dollar". That means they have a "Max" cost/value, (karma = 25000, rake = 312500, brush= 375000, etc) But if there be no dollar in the contract prizes, then these other items cost/value can be "less than max" and that is most probably due to "rounding up". meaning that for example If you have a contract with ~400000 value for some shrimp for example, then if there be no dollar prize in the contract, it can give you 1 rake + 1 brush even (while normally it would cost 687500 dollar, but since GGS can't give 1 rake + ~0.3 brush, then that's is why the contract gives 1 rake and 1 brush instead).
***Important Notice 2***
The numbers shown in these Tables are NOT net profit.

Comments
first one: 472 Tuna and 535 clams for 3,702,643 + 5 Karma
second one: 428 Swordfish for 8,013,390 + 5 Karma

screenshots can make it much easier btw guys if can share.
The one Karma/$$$ contract I have right now is:
183 Lobster (Old Value: $18,125 each - $3,316,875)
289 Oyster (Old Value: 4,687 each - $1,354,543)
Old Total Value: $4,671,418
New Value: $1,714,508
Decrease in value of: $2,956,910, or 63.3% ((4,671,418 - 1,714,418) / 4,671,418)
Fancy Math: (Lobsters (183) / Oysters (289)) = 63.3% (strange coincidence) of contract value is from OYSTER.
{Edited: Nevermind, I just realized it doesn't work that way. All my values were way off. Rest of post deleted.}
----------
P.S. just got a solo oyster contract and calculated its price, and thanks to your screenshot calculated Lobster too after it
Still many chum types are missing from list though, but hopefully we can finish calculating them soon too.
--------------
and thanks maxiroy (US1) , added Salmon price too
-----------------
btw for now just screenshot contracts that have "karma + dollar" combo please only, "unless you found a more profitable type of contracts" (dollar-wise). the other contracts that have "rake or brush", as far as I calculated so far at least has a much lower "dollar" pay-out than "karma + dollar" type ones.
Also I think it would be great if we keep this thread positive and leave the negativity on the other threads.
I wonder why our two values are so far apart.
{Edit: Nevermind, I just realized why there were so far apart. LOL. I can't determine value that way, with multiple types of fish on the same contract without knowing at least ONE of the fish values beforehand}
I agree with you, but well if you are referring to the "burn it all" parts that I have added to my first post, they are for sympathy a bit with more upset players more than negativity, and also to soothe their heart with a bit of humor my friend
It is not hard to say already that one can actually make "more profit" with the new system than they could make in the "old system" if and only if, one magically has super high level lester stash hehe. but I keep this info for now hidden so that other players not call me traitor
will add the Herring chum price to the list too based on the numbers you posted btw, thanks
I'd chalk it up to "Haven't had my coffee yet", except I have.
$556,27 for 1 clam (if only I can tell the exact price of 1 clam if karma point can be exchanged to farm dollars)
"Not knowing whether GGS nerfed all prices at same rate or not."
but still you have my thanks my friend for all the help
The only difference is the 5 Karma Points.
We need a formula that we can plug in and try to determine the value they've assigned to Karma Points.
Based on this Screenshot you posted I can now calculate "karma point prices" too and then update all fish/chum prices more accurately.
unfortunately i have canceled my previous contract that i calculated clam based on it (912 dollar), so I don't remember its quantity. if you guys got oyster or clam contracts (solo) again please post.
and my apologies to everyone but not worry i will slowly fix this/my mistake.
thanks dear, but there's no need, once we can calculate karma point prices too, then we can easily get accurate ~price of each fish/chum easily in new system.
Once there is enough info, a new strategy can evolve , hopefully .:/
will fix the price list now.
thanks gary, i hope i not be mistaken this time but i calculated 25000 dollars exactly per karma point.
should be easy now to calculate fish/chum prices exactly now
Still need more feedback/screenshot on Oyster, Lobster, Herring and Shrimp though.
and many other remaining chum types
