Quite simply how do you calculate the cost per exp??

 

 

 

I am looking at herblore mainly, gp/exp for each pot, but I was wondering if there was some sort of universal calculation that went with all the "buyables"??

 

 

 

This way later on I can calc the gp/exp for crafting and con things like that.

This is from Sentry's Herblore guide in the AoW, a very good guide if you want to check it out.

 

Here is the manual way to do it for the potions you want to calculate but I didn't include:

 

[cost of herb] + [cost of second] + [vial of water] = [total cost of potion made]

 

 

 

[total cost of potion made] [sell cost of potion] = [total lost]

 

 

 

[total lost] / [XP of potion] = [XP / GP]

 

 

 

Now, to compare it to your amount made per hour.

 

 

 

First, check how many you make in 10 minutes. (This will work with most, if not all potions.)

 

 

 

[How many you make] x 6 = [How many made per hour.]

 

 

 

[Amount made / hour] x [XP of potion]

 

 

 

[Answer] X [XP / GP] = [Total money used per hour.]

 

 

 

I checked it myself with prayer potions, using the current market prices and using a example of 500 potions made per hour. I got 112,000 gp as my end result.

 

 

 

So,

 

 

 

If you make less then the total money used per hour (which Im just going to call the total for short now.) you should avoid buying the XP. Either move onto a lower potion which you can afford.

 

 

 

If you make more then the total, go for it, but DIY is always an option!

 

 

 

I would assume you just change out the loss and xp per

Also, just divide the cost of the potion with the xp you get.

For herblore: (Price of the herb + Waterfilled vial + Secondary - Cost of the potion)/Xp you get from the potion (if you buy grimy herbs, add the xp for cleaning = gp/xp for a potion.

Ridiculous response... you contributed nothing to the thread.

 

 

 

As you can see its a few more steps than just saying 100 gp / 100 experience.. Just do everyone who tries to help others on this forum a favor and leave. Stick to your usual Off-Topic forum or whatever else you use. (who cares)

Another thing to remember, the only stupid question is the one not asked.

(Price of materials - price of selling finished product)/ exp given.

He asked how to to find the gp/xp for herblore. And I told him. That was a contribution.

(remember pots sell for a lot more at 4 doses, and with the decant option at the ge you can get much much cheaper xp, and it's fast to do)

 

 

 

If you find out the most cost effective pots you could drop me a PM with what you find >.> -cough- -lazy-

no need to be a smart [cabbage]. you could help him find out what he needs to know and stop pointing out something that wont even help him...

+1, that link has all the gp/xp costs already calculated for you.
