So let's say 34*31 = 1054
Proc chance isn't known, some people have up to 20% (bearing in mind that as well as proc chance, there is chance for 2, 3, 4 or even 5 off 1 craft)
Let's go 15% is 158 extra gems, so 1212 total.
If uncuts sell for 90-100g, human process would err for the higher price, if he's trying to make money, he'd likely wait for them to be higher, so 100g each.
He says he got the opals cheap, who knows what that is, let's say 10g is cheap 15-20 is about normal. so 1054*10, so 10540 for the green uncuts.
1212*100-10540-4000-2000 = 104600 gold
See, playing with numbers to suit your agenda is easy.
You don't know that he's selling at average cost, you don't know what he paid for the opals, you don't know how many golden lotus he is getting on average, nor what the proc chance/yield is on however many crafts he is making.
He may well have exaggerated the number, if the number is incorrect, it's more likely he doesn't know exactly how much he made and is estimating. Doesn't make him a liar.
