Artefacts = urns looted + 1 grand gold chest per room, each drawn evenly from Room 6's pool (the wiki lists the pool but not per-item weights). XP assumes those urns plus the chest are looted; the Pharaoh's sceptre and Rocky are rolled once per grand gold chest. Hit "Roll again" for a fresh sample.
