It began with this claim, which I feel a gross exaggeration:

How to make back your money:
1. Full clear ALL arenas @highest difficulty possible - 1.5m/day
tox01 downplayed it, thinking at 2017, that could be true.

I'm unconvinced. WTB/WTS price can change, but credits and items given from arena should not be different. So I track the arena drops today to hazard a guess.
Pure Credit185,930Equipment Bazaared & SalvagedI got one HGC from salvage, so at 13k per piece, it would be 13k
The bazaared rest, yield me 54,896
So equipments in total give me:
67,896Items Trophy price downplayed you know why.Pardon the unorganized mess below, spoiler tag usually help, but this forum doesn't have it.

108,000TotalI'm actually surprised doing arena alone gives this much, but still too far from initial claim of 1,5M a day. And don't forget, significant part of it require Moogling items to people who want to buy them (more work!). So, for around 4 hours (shit melee clear speed), the total income sum to:
493,206Take the number as you will. Maybe change up the item price to reflect 2017's price (I give you text for that reason). But for me, 1.5M per day claim is not worth statistical rigor to disprove (read: I will not redo it for several consecutive days).
