This Mahogany Homes calculator helps you determine the total experience, material cost, and efficiency (GP/XP) for any set of contracts, allowing you to quickly compare Novice, Adept, Expert, or Master tiers.

Mahogany Homes OSRS Calculator

Mahogany Homes OSRS Calculator Formula

Total XP (TXP) = N × XP/C

Total Cost (TC) = N × P/C × C/P

Cost per XP (GP/XP) = TC ÷ TXP

Formula Source: The primary construction/cost formulas are derived from the Old School RuneScape Wiki and are universally accepted.

Variables Explained

  • Contracts to Complete (N): The total number of Mahogany Homes contracts (jobs) you plan to finish.
  • Average XP per Contract (XP/C): The mean amount of Construction XP gained per completed contract. This varies by tier (Novice, Adept, Expert, Master) and which house you get.
  • Average Planks Used per Contract (P/C): The average number of planks (e.g., Oak, Teak, Mahogany) consumed per contract.
  • Cost per Plank in GP (C/P): The Grand Exchange (GE) or buy price of the plank being used (e.g., Mahogany Plank price).

What is Mahogany Homes?

Mahogany Homes is a Construction training method in Old School RuneScape, focusing on completing repeatable repair tasks for various NPCs across Gielinor. It offers a slower, more engaging method of training Construction compared to traditional plank-to-furniture methods, but it rewards the player with Supply Crates which can contain valuable rewards, including teleports and unique furniture.

The primary benefit of using Mahogany Homes is the increased efficiency in terms of cost. While the XP per hour is generally lower than banking methods, the GP cost per XP is significantly lower, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious players or Ironmen. The calculator above helps quantify this efficiency based on the current plank market price.

How to Calculate Mahogany Homes (Example)

Let’s calculate the cost and experience for 50 Expert contracts using Mahogany planks.

  1. Identify Inputs: Contracts (N) = 50. Average Expert XP/C = 20,000. Average Planks/C = 100. Cost/Plank (Mahogany) = 2,500 GP.
  2. Calculate Total XP: $50 \times 20,000 = 1,000,000$ XP.
  3. Calculate Total Planks Needed: $50 \times 100 = 5,000$ Planks.
  4. Calculate Total GP Cost: $5,000 \times 2,500 \text{ GP} = 12,500,000$ GP.
  5. Calculate Cost per XP: $12,500,000 \text{ GP} / 1,000,000 \text{ XP} = 12.5$ GP/XP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Mahogany Homes faster than the traditional Construction method?
A: No. Mahogany Homes is slower in terms of XP per hour but is significantly cheaper (lower GP/XP) and more portable, as you move between locations.

Q: What is the best tier for GP/XP?
A: Generally, the Master tier offers the best GP/XP ratio, provided you have the necessary Construction level (70) and can afford the Mahogany planks.

Q: Do I get my planks back?
A: No, the planks are consumed during the construction process. The calculation accounts for the total cost of these consumed planks.

Q: What level is required for the Master tier contracts?
A: You need level 70 Construction to start the Master tier contracts from the NPC Amy in Falador.
