XP per hour is the XP of one action × 3,600 ÷ the seconds it takes: gathering at the base time (tools, skill level and other gatherers shorten it) and crafting with the ingredients in hand.

Getting the ingredients takes time too, and it is not in these rates: the planner builds the whole path, with every material.
