What is a Vis Wax Calculator?
A vis wax calculator is a tool used by players of the MMORPG RuneScape to determine the profitability of creating vis wax in the Rune Goldberg Machine. Vis wax is a valuable in-game item with many uses, and this calculator helps players make informed decisions about which runes to use to maximize their profits.
Vis Wax Formula and Explanation
The profitability of creating vis wax is determined by a simple formula:
Profit = (Vis Wax Price * Amount Created) – Total Rune Cost
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vis Wax Price | The market price of a single piece of vis wax. | Gold Pieces (GP) | 10,000 – 20,000 GP |
| Amount Created | The total amount of vis wax produced. | Pieces | 1 – 100 |
| Total Rune Cost | The combined cost of the three runes used. | Gold Pieces (GP) | Varies widely |
Practical Examples
Example 1: High Profit Scenario
Let’s say vis wax is selling for 16,000 GP. You use runes costing 500, 800, and 1,200 GP and get 90 vis wax.
- Inputs: Vis Wax Price: 16,000 GP, Rune Costs: 500, 800, 1,200 GP, Amount Created: 90
- Calculation: (16,000 * 90) – (500 + 800 + 1,200) = 1,440,000 – 2,500 = 1,437,500 GP
- Result: A profit of 1,437,500 GP.
Example 2: Low Profit Scenario
Vis wax is at 12,000 GP. You use expensive runes costing 5,000, 7,000, and 10,000 GP and only get 75 vis wax.
- Inputs: Vis Wax Price: 12,000 GP, Rune Costs: 5,000, 7,000, 10,000 GP, Amount Created: 75
- Calculation: (12,000 * 75) – (5,000 + 7,000 + 10,000) = 900,000 – 22,000 = 878,000 GP
- Result: A profit of 878,000 GP.
