Calculation

Experience is calculated as the following:

Experience Gained = Base Task Experience * (1 + Clan House Boost + Housing Boost) * (1 + Daily Boost (if active)) * (1 + Jewelry Boost (if relevant) + Equipment Boost (if player has active crafting needle and is refining with a Gemstone) + Skilling Gear Boost (if player is wearing Artisans boots.png Artisan's boots and is refining with a Gemstone)+ Mastery Cape Boost (if relevant))

Example: Player is crafting a Godlike gemstone.png Godlike item (50,000 XP). They have a House.png House (25%) and their clan has a House.png Castle (30%). They have activated one of their daily boosts (30%). They are currently wearing 4 pieces of enchanted diamond jewelry, each with Exceptional scroll of crafting.png Exceptional enchantment scroll (crafting) applied (5% * 4 = 20%). They are holding a Godlike crafting needle.png Godlike crafting needle (20%). They are wearing Artisans boots.png Artisan's boots (2%) They are wearing a Crafting cape tier 4.pngCrafting cape (Tier 4) (20%).

The total experience gained will be: 50,000 * (1 + 0.25 + 0.3) * (1 + 0.3) * (1 + 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.02 + 0.2) = 50,000 * 1.55 * 1.3 * 1.62 = 163,215 experience.

Calculation

The task time will be: 45 * (1 - 0.05) * (1 - 0.06 - 0.2 - 0.2 - 0.2) = 45 * 0.95 * 0.34 = 14.535 seconds.
