Albion Online crafting calculator guide

How to read specialty city RRR, focus, and journals so craft profit matches what you will see in station UI.

Open the free crafting desk

The interactive Albion Online crafting calculator is free. Pick tier, enchant, and item family, then scan live AODP city prices. Material cost uses your tax / price-mode settings from the app chrome.

Craft city beats item tier for RRR

Resource return rate depends on where you craft and whether the recipe matches that city’s crafting specialty (plus focus) — not on tier alone. Same specialty line in one city shares one RRR band (wiki city ≈15.3% / specialty ≈24.8% without focus).

Journals and consumables

Enable journal credit in your profile when laborers or empty journals matter. For food and potions, the consumables desk ranks meta demand alongside margin.

When to use the craft scanner

One-off recipes stay on Free crafting. Ranking many recipes across cities is the Scout crafting scanner — useful after you trust your tax and specialty assumptions.
