Profit Calculation

Trivia section net profit calculation was added unsourced and seemingly never discussed or verified. I'll walk through a quick profit calculation here so we can more easily verify the values in future.

Since resources sometimes give more than 1 item we need to account for the average number given: (0.3 × 1) + (0.3 × 3) + (0.3 × 5) + (0.09 × 10) + (0.01 × 20) = 3.8 items per resource

And since stone only uses this value half the time we need to account for that too: (0.5 × 3.8) + (0.5 × 1) = 2.4 stone per stone

Base Gross Profit Calculations

Artifact Expected Gross: ( 100) ÷ 30 = data-sort-value="3.33..">3.33g Foraged Expected Gross: ( 75) ÷ 16 = data-sort-value="4.6875">4.6875g Geode Expected Gross: ( 125 + 100 + 250 + 200 + 150 + 200 + 150 + 250 + 200 + 110 + 220 + 150 + 120 + 120) ÷ 30 = data-sort-value="78.166..">78.166g Resource Expected Gross: ( 2 × 2.4 ÷ 8) + ( 20 ÷ 16) + (( 15 + 5 + 10 + 25) × 3.8 ÷ 16) = data-sort-value="14.9125">14.9125g Total: data-sort-value="101.1">101.1g

Gemologist Gross Profit Calculations

Artifact Expected Gross: ( 100) ÷ 30 = data-sort-value="3.33..">3.33g Foraged Expected Gross: ( 97) ÷ 16 = data-sort-value="6.0625">6.0625g Geode Expected Gross: ( 162 + 130 + 320 + 260 + 195 + 260 + 195 + 325 + 260 + 143 + 286 + 195 + 156 + 156) ÷ 30 = data-sort-value="101.43">101.43g Resource Expected Gross: ( 2 × 2.4 ÷ 8) + ( 20 ÷ 16) + (( 15 + 5 + 10 + 25) × 3.8 ÷ 16) = data-sort-value="14.9125">14.9125g Total: data-sort-value="125.74..">125.74g

And here's some one-liners to paste into your calculator to verify the totals:

 Base       = (100) ÷ 30 + (75) ÷ 16 + (125 + 100 + 250 + 200 + 150 + 200 + 150 + 250 + 200 + 110 + 220 + 150 + 120 + 120) ÷ 30 + (2 × 2.4 ÷ 8) + (20 ÷ 16) + ((15 + 5 + 10 + 25) × 3.8 ÷ 16)
 Gemologist = (100) ÷ 30 + (97) ÷ 16 + (162 + 130 + 320 + 260 + 195 + 260 + 195 + 325 + 260 + 143 + 286 + 195 + 156 + 156) ÷ 30 + (2 × 2.4 ÷ 8) + (20 ÷ 16) + ((15 + 5 + 10 + 25) × 3.8 ÷ 16)
