About this tool

Refining Calculator

What is this?

A tool that works out whether turning raw materials into refined goods is worth your silver. It compares the cost of the raw materials against what the refined version sells for.

Why use it?

Refining is one of the steadier ways to earn, taking gathered materials like ore or hide and turning them into the refined goods that crafters need, but the profit is thin and swings with prices, so it is easy to lose silver without realising. This checks the numbers for you on 7-day traded average prices before you commit a batch. It uses your character's real refining skill, so the share of materials that come back to you is counted as yours and not a generic estimate.

How to use it?

Pick the material you want to refine and set its tier. The tool fills in current prices and shows your profit per batch once fees are taken out. A green number means refining is worth it right now, and a red number means the raw materials cost more than the refined goods are fetching.

Frequently asked

Questions about the Refining Calculator

Is refining profitable in Albion Online?

Refining margins are usually thin and swing with prices, so a batch that paid yesterday can lose silver today. This calculator compares the cost of raw materials against what the refined goods sell for, after the station fee, so you can check a batch is worth it before you commit.

How does the refining Resource Return Rate work?

A share of your raw materials comes back on each refine, set by the Royal city bonus, focus use, and your refining mastery and specialisation. Higher returns mean cheaper effective costs. The calculator uses your real Destiny Board levels, so the returned materials are counted accurately for your character.

Which city is best for refining?

Each Royal city boosts the return rate for one material, so the best city depends on whether you are refining ore, hide, fiber, wood or stone. Refining a material in its bonus city lowers your cost per batch.

What is faction refining?

Faction refining is a recipe variant that swaps one raw material for a biome heart bought from the market. It can be cheaper when hearts are priced well. The calculator shows both the standard and faction recipes as separate rows so you can pick whichever wins right now.
