Without Karamja gloves 4, it takes a minimum of 800 minutes (or 13 hours 20 minutes) to earn enough tickets, which means that it is possible to make a decent profit by buying pirate's hooks from the arena and then selling them at the Grand Exchange - an average of per hour (assuming no pillars are missed). However, it could be more worthwhile to get 1000 tickets and trade them for 320,000 Agility experience (352,000 experience if wearing Karamja gloves 2 or better), and there are much better ways to make money than obtaining and selling hooks. The minimum time required to earn these tickets is reduced to 640 minutes (or 10 hours 40 minutes) when wearing Karamja gloves 4 because of the bonus tickets received.
