About this tool

Gear Crafting Calculator

What is this?

A tool that tells you whether making a piece of gear yourself is cheaper than buying it ready-made, and how much silver you would earn if you crafted it to sell. It compares your material costs against the going price for the finished item.

Why use it?

Crafting can save you a lot of silver, or earn you a steady profit, but only when the materials are cheaper than the finished piece, and that changes with the market. Working it out by hand for every item is slow and easy to get wrong. This does the sums on the 7-day traded average price, and it uses your character's real skill levels, so the share of materials that come back to you when you craft is counted as yours rather than a generic estimate.

How to use it?

Pick the gear piece you want and set its tier, enchantment and quality. The tool fills in current prices and shows what it costs you to craft versus buy, along with your profit if you sell. A green result means crafting is the better deal, and a red one means you are better off buying.

Frequently asked

Questions about the Gear Crafting Calculator

Is crafting gear profitable in Albion Online?

It can be, but only when your material costs come in under the price the finished item is selling for, and that flips with the market. This calculator does the sums on 7-day traded average prices so you can see your profit before you craft, instead of finding out after.

How is the Resource Return Rate worked out?

Resource Return Rate (RRR) is the share of materials that come back to you after a craft. It depends on the Royal city bonus, whether you spend focus, and your mastery and specialisation in that craft. The calculator reads your real Destiny Board levels once you sync, so the returned materials are counted as yours rather than a flat rate.

Which city is best for crafting gear?

Each Royal city gives a crafting bonus to certain item types, so the best city depends on what you are making. Crafting a specialty item in its bonus city raises your RRR and your profit. The calculator can score each craft in its bonus city for you.

Does spending focus change my profit?

Yes. Focus sharply raises your RRR, so more materials come back and each craft costs less. Focus is limited, so it pays to spend it on the crafts that give the most silver back per focus point, which the Focus Planner ranks for you.
