Practical Examples (Real‑World Use Cases)
Example 1: Oak Planks
Inputs: Construction Level 70, Plank Type Oak, Planks per Hour 10, Hours 5.
XP per Plank = 250, Total XP = 10 × 5 × 250 = 12,500 XP.
Total Cost = 10 × 5 × 1 = 50 gp.
Example 2: Mahogany Planks
Inputs: Construction Level 85, Plank Type Mahogany, Planks per Hour 8, Hours 6.
XP per Plank = 1000, Total XP = 8 × 6 × 1000 = 48,000 XP.
Total Cost = 8 × 6 × 3 = 144 gp.
