Profit uses Grand Exchange prices from the OSRS Wiki, averaged over the last 24 hours. It assumes you buy materials and sell what you make straight away, paying the 2% GE tax. Bones and ashes are used up, so profit shows the cost of training. The Ectofuntus also needs a pot and a bucket of slime per bone, which aren't counted. Items with little trading are marked, since one trade can move their price.

How altars multiply bone XP

Burying a bone gives its base XP. Offering it at a gilded altar in a player-owned house, with both incense burners lit, gives 350% of that.

The Chaos Temple altar in level 38 Wilderness also gives 350%, and has a 50% chance to keep each bone, so you need half as many, as long as player killers don't catch you. The Ectofuntus gives 400%, but each bone has to be ground into bonemeal first, and takes a pot and a bucket of slime.

Ashes and ensouled heads

Ashes are scattered and ensouled heads are reanimated with Arceuus spells, each for its own XP. Altars don't boost either, so the calculator lists them at the same XP whichever way you offer bones.
