Notes

• By multiplying the sell price of each item by the chance to obtain it, the average profit of opening an Artifact Trove is data-sort-value="472.4">472.4g, or data-sort-value="447.4">447.4g when the data-sort-value="25">25g opening cost is factored in.
• Since the average profit when breaking open an Omni Geode is data-sort-value="96.4">96.4g, and it takes five Omni Geodes to make one Artifact Trove (i.e., data-sort-value="482.0">482g), you will typically lose data-sort-value="35">35g every time you trade for one (if you are only selling the results).
