Understanding Albion Online Crafting Math
Calculating profit in Albion Online requires understanding how the economy handles Resource Return Rate (RRR) and Station Fees. Unlike other MMOs, Albion rewards crafting in specific cities to maximize returns.
1. Resource Return Rate (RRR)
When you craft, you get a percentage of your materials back. This is the single most important factor for profitability.
No City Bonus: 0% (avoid this).
City Bonus (No Focus): 15.2%.
City Bonus (With Focus): ~43.5% to 53% depending on the item.
The effective cost of resources is calculated as: Total Cost * (1 - RRR).
2. The Nutrition / Station Fee Formula
In Albion, public crafting stations charge a fee based on the Item Value, not the market price. The formula used by the game server is:
Fee = (Item Value * 0.1125) * (Station Fee Percentage / 100)
3. Realistic Example
If you are crafting a T6 Plate Armor (Item Value 128) at a station with a 500% fee, your cost per craft is 72 Silver in taxes. If the materials cost 20,000 Silver and you have a 15.2% RRR, your material cost effectively drops to 16,960 Silver. If the armor sells for 25,000 Silver (minus 6.5% market tax), you can calculate your true net profit.

var r1Price = parseFloat(document.getElementById('res1Price').value) || 0;
var r1Qty = parseFloat(document.getElementById('res1Qty').value) || 0;

// 1. Gross Resource Cost
var grossResourceCost = (r1Price * r1Qty) + (r2Price * r2Qty);
// 2. Effective Resource Cost after RRR
// Math: Cost – (Cost * RRR%)
var effectiveResourceCost = grossResourceCost * (1 – (rrr / 100));
// 3. Crafting Fee (Silver)
// Albion formula: (ItemValue * 0.1125) * (Fee% / 100)
var taxCost = (itemValue * 0.1125) * (stationFee / 100);
// 4. Market Sell Tax (Assuming 6.5% for non-premium or general average with listing fees)
var marketTax = sellPrice * 0.065;
var netRevenue = sellPrice – marketTax;
// 5. Total Cost and Profit
var totalCost = effectiveResourceCost + taxCost;
var profit = netRevenue – totalCost;
var margin = (profit / totalCost) * 100;
