<p><span class="autocomment">Profit Margins</span></p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div><!--- This page was created by myself to determine the best item to get. ---><br />
<!--- I have added annotations to most of this calculator about how I got to each conclusion. ---><br />
<!--- If you wish to make amendments to my workings, read the annotations before hand to double check your work. ---><br />
<!--- You should then add an extra comment with your "EDIT:", then your reason, then amend my code. ---><br />
<!--- If you follow these guidelines, I will take into account your argument and if correct, leave the code. ---><br />
<!--- Else, I shall change the code back to what I had originally thought correct. ---><br />
== Mage Training Arena calculator ==<br />
<br />
The table below shows costs of each Mage Training Arena puzzle and using live data from the [[Grand Exchange Market Watch]], calculates the most profitable prize for the Mage Training Arena.<br />
<br />
====Rune Prices====<br />
<br />
* [[File:Law rune.png]] A [[Law Rune]] costs {{GEPrice|Law rune}} coins.<br />
<br />
* [[File:Nature rune.png]] A [[Nature Rune]] costs {{GEPrice|Nature rune}} coins.<br />
<br />
* [[File:Cosmic rune.png]] A [[Cosmic Rune]] costs {{GEPrice|Cosmic rune}} coins.<br />
<br />
===Point Calculations===<br />
====Telekinetic Theatre====<br />
<!--- The figures here are calculated as follows: ---><br />
<!--- RUNES PER PUZZLE ---><br />
<!--- Average moves per puzzle is 8.3, as there are 10 puzzles, with a total of 83 moves. ---><br />
<!--- After every 5 puzzles, the user is given 10 law runes. This divided by 5 = 2. Making the average moves 6.3. ---><br />
<!--- PIZAZZ PER PUZZLE ---><br />
<!--- You earn 2 Pizazz points per puzzle, and 8 bonus points every 5 puzzles. This makes it 3.6 Pizazz per puzzle. ---><br />
* ''Calculations are based on using a Staff of Air.''<br />
* ''Based on completing 5 puzzles for bonus Law Runes and Pizazz points.''<br />
* ''If puzzles are not completed in sets of 5, calculations may be wrong.''<br />

====Alchemist's Playground====<br />
<!--- The figures here are calculated as follows: ---><br />
<!--- RUNES PER DEPOSIT ---><br />
<!--- Average alchs per deposit is 3.3, as it is calculated on 30gp alch, and you need 100gp to deposit. ---><br />
<!--- This does not include free alch, as the price of these vary, and would be impossible to calculate. ---><br />
<!--- PIZAZZ PER Deposit ---><br />
<!--- You earn 1 Pizazz points per 100gp deposited, you earn no bonuses on this puzzle. ---><br />
* ''Calculations are based on using a Staff of Fire.''<br />
* ''Based on casting alchemy only on 30gp items, and not including free alchs.''<br />
* ''If you cast alchemy on an item that is less than 30gp, or is free, figures may be wrong.''<br />

<!--- 1 / bonus point + enchant level point = Runes/Point. ---><br />
* ''Calculations are based on using the appropriate staff for the enchantment.''<br />
* ''Based on casting enchantments only on bonus items, and not including Dragonstones.''<br />
* ''If you cast alchemy on an item that is not a bonus item, or a Dragonstone figures may be wrong.''<br />
