I'm confused how the math is done when crafting runes.

I have full raiments of the eye which gives +60%, stacks additively (Idk what precisely that means)
Also lantern with magic logs so +10%
I have the level for double cosmic runes
and I turned 23 pure essence into 70 cosmic runes

I don't understand how this works. If i get 60% from armor, and I add 10% from lantern, that's 70% extra.
So, if i get double, 23x2=46 then +70% that would be 78 runes. I only got 70 so that's not how that works.
Maybe it only gives 70% to the original, not the double, so 23+70%=39, + the double (23) = 62, nope still not that.
Maybe the lantern isn't counting? same formula as above yields 73 or 60, nope still not the 70.

Ok i just made 32 out of 10, thats 3.2x i don't understand!

So now I have moved on to blood runes.

Full Raiments of the Eye: 60%
Abyssal lantern with blisterwood logs: 20%
Total 80% increase.
23 essence, 4 pouches with 30 essence and a tele tab in inventory.
53 essence total 53+80% = 95.4
First craft 23 essence should yield 41 (41.4)
Second craft (12 & 3 pouches) 15=27
third craft (6 & 9 pouches) 15=27
41+27+27 = 95 i should get 95 per run every run and yet....
Run 1: 23 = 35, 15 = 27, 15 = 27, Total 89
Run 2: 23 = 35, 15 = 27, 15 = 21, Total 83
Run 3: 23 = 41, 15 = 27, 15 = 27, Total 95
Run 4: 23 = 41, 15 = 21, 15 = 21, Total 83
For the heck of it
Run 5 one bag at a time (I assume it will be less by up 1 per craft totaling 5)
23= 35, 12 = 18, 3 = 3, 6 = 6, 9 = 15. Total 77 .... wow i got a whopping 68%.
Should have been:
23 = 41.4, 12 = 21.6, 3 = 5.4, 6 = 10.8, 9 = 13.5 total 90. yet i got 77... WTF

ONE out of five gave me the full amount.

Why is it different every single run?!?!?!?!?!?!?
"Runes crafted are increased by 60%" taken straight from the game. It doesn't say "chance" or "up to 60%" its wording is a flat 60%
There is nothing in game i can find about lantern, everything online says "Blood runes crafted are increased by 20%" again a flat rate nothing to explain the constant random amounts.

Lantern doesn't work outside if rift, got it... still doesnt explain the varying differences.
"Runes crafted are increased by 60%" so is that coded to be more like "each rune has a 60% chance to make a second"?

THIS MAKES NO SENSE!
I though if its a flat 60%, if i make 2 at a time, every time i should get 3 every time, if its a 60% chance to do it, then 60% of them should make 3 40% only make 2.... WRONG AGAIN BUCKO!
I dropped 23 essence, picked up 2, crafted 2, 11 times, crafted 22 of them 2 at a time and got 22. ok so i had one left over from the 23 i dropped, picked it up and crafted ONE SINGLE ESSENCE, and got 7 bloods from it.... WTF kind of backwater programming is this?!?
