Let’s define “few”  
Someone is projecting 500 battles per hour with Dust/3Hawk teams.  
Previous estimates put Phoenicia battles at 240/hr.  
Given the rough rates of VK (gnome/12) and EVK (vault key/10), and using the data from @Dust_Angel 's post here [Vault Weekend data collection - #138 by Dust\_Angel](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/vault-weekend-data-collection/66579/138)

We get the following breakdown (some items omitted), **per gnome** (directly from gnome, and from 1/12 vault key from that gnome, including vault key from vault key etc.):  
_Note: Epic Vault Key loot is not included_

- 1.5 diamonds
- 0.5 event keys
- 0.5 gem keys
- 3 gems
- 4400 gold
- 62 souls
- 0.04 major orbs

At a difference of 260 battles/hour, this is what an E5-E8 Phoenicia explorer is missing out on:

- 32 diamonds
- 8 event keys
- 10 gem keys
- 63 gems
- 95,000 gold
- 1336 souls
- 0.9 major orbs
- 2.3 minor orbs

Is the E5-E8 Phoenicia rate/hour of 300K-400K gold worth the full list above?  
Not for me.
