1. What is the Bucket of Sand Calculator?

The Bucket of Sand Calculator estimates how many buckets of sand you can obtain from sandstone based on its weight and yield rate. This is useful for Old School RuneScape players mining sandstone in the Desert Quarry.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Sandstone\ Weight \) — Weight of the sandstone piece in kilograms
• \( Yield \) — Conversion rate from kg to buckets (typically 0.5 buckets/kg)

Explanation: The calculation is straightforward multiplication based on OSRS Wiki data about sandstone conversion rates.

3. Importance of Bucket of Sand Calculation

Details: Knowing how many buckets you'll get helps plan mining trips and estimate glass-making potential for Crafting training.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter sandstone weight in kg and yield rate (default is 0.5 buckets/kg). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the typical yield rate?
A: The standard yield is 0.5 buckets per kg of sandstone.

Q2: Where can I mine sandstone?
A: The Desert Quarry near the Bandit Camp in the Kharidian Desert is the main location.

Q3: What are sandstone weights in OSRS?
A: Sandstone comes in 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, and 10kg pieces.

Q4: What's the best weight to mine?
A: 10kg pieces are most efficient as they give 5 buckets each (at 0.5 yield).

Q5: What's buckets/hr rate?
A: Typical rates range from 2,000-6,000 buckets per hour depending on mining level and efficiency.
