Trivia

• By multiplying the sell price of each item by the chance to obtain it and how many you would receive on average (with ores, clay and stone) and adding those products together, you can find the average profit of breaking open a single magma geode. Magma geodes have an average return of data-sort-value="167.34">167.34g, or data-sort-value="142.34">142.34g with the data-sort-value="25">25g opening cost factored in. With the Gemologist Profession, magma geodes have an average return of data-sort-value="207.87">207.87g, or data-sort-value="182.87">182.87g with the data-sort-value="25">25g opening cost factored in. However, a magma geode will sell in the shipping bin for data-sort-value="150">150g, giving a net profit of data-sort-value="32.87">32.87g with Gemologist, and a net loss of data-sort-value="7.66">7.66g without Gemologist. It is therefore profitable to process magma geodes and sell the contents with Gemologist, but it is not profitable to do so without Gemologist.
