Calculator:Herblore/Unfinished potions

Unfinished potion calculators
How do these calculators work? First of all, we have the normal process of Herblore:
 * Obtain a grimy herb. Buy, find, or farm.
 * Clean it. A specific level is required. By cleaning, experience is gained and the clean version of the herb is obtained.
 * Add to a vial of water or coconut milk. A specific level is required to add a clean herb into a vial of water or coconut milk. An unfinished potion is obtained.
 * Add secondary ingredient. When this ingredient is added, experience is gained, much more than the experience gained for cleaning the herb.
 * Sell the finished potion.
 * Alternatively, potions can be mixed with caviar or roe to gain barbarian mix potions. Experience is gained by mixing caviar or roe.

Here we calculate the profit/cost for 3 cases:
 * 1) Buy a grimy herb, clean it, make a unfinished potion, and sell it.
 * 2) Buy a clean herb, make an unfinished potion, and sell it.
 * 3) Buy an unfinished potion, add the secondary ingredient, and sell it.

Scroll of Cleansing

 * The Scroll of Cleansing is a Dungeoneering Reward that costs 20,000 tokens
 * It has a 1 in 10 (the long term/ large amount chance is 11.11%, see scroll of cleansing for detail of calculation) chance of saving a secondary when mixing potions. This effect may save the herb you are mixing with a vial of water, or the secondary ingredient you are adding to an unfinished potion
 * The potion will be mixed 1 tick faster if the scroll activates.

Assumptions

 * All calculations are based on the 3-dose potion prices using live data from the Grand Exchange Market Watch.
 * For potions based on a vial of coconut milk, the process cannot be split. This is because the unfinished potion with coconut milk is not tradeable.
 * Vial of water.png A vial of water costs coins.

Unfinished potion to potion
This is a calculator figuring out the cost per xp for making potions from the half made unfinished potion versions. Using unfinished potions gives xp at a faster rate than using herbs.
