Calculator:Archaeology Hotspot

This dynamic calculator requires JavaScript. This page takes user input via JavaScript and may use changing prices from the Grand Exchange Market Watch.

Assumptions

• This calculator assumes that materials are bought to fulfill artefact restoration requirements in gp/xp calculations.

Not calculated

• This calculator does not factor tetracompass and complete tome chance into xp/h and gp/xp calculations.
• Although this calculator does factor chronote value of artefacts, it does not factor any additional collection or excavation rewards, such as tetracompass pieces, complete tomes, or pylon batteries into xp/h and gp/xp calculations.
• Anything gained from screening soil with or without the autoscreener is not calculated (manual screening exp, artefacts, nor profits).
• For Tony's Mattock, the small chance to allow players to discover artefacts immediately is not included in calculations. See clarifications.
• This calculator does not factor prices of classic, historical, vintage, and timeworn components into the values of artefacts.

Clarifications and notes for future revisions:

Templates used
Calculator:Archaeology Hotspot/Template

• Most archaeology buffs note that they increase base precision or base success chance. From experimentation, it has been discovered with a 1.3% error that they are indeed additive multipliers.
• There is yet to be any data released for the percent chance that Guildmaster Tony's mattock has to discover an artefact instantly.
• There is yet to be any clarification of how Focus is used in calculations, which determines the rate at which materials are gathered. When information has been shared on how it is correlated with material success chance, the profit and xp calculations will factor this to make the calculator more accurate. At the moment, there is a flat 21% success chance used for all excavations and mattocks, which is increased from perks and other things.
• No data has been released about the chances for getting specific materials and artefacts from screening soil. Thus, it will be omitted from calculations until data is provided.
