Royal City Specialization Bonuses
Calculates the +40% Refining Bonus specific to each Royal City (Thetford: Ore, Martlock: Hide, Lymhurst: Fiber, Fort Sterling: Wood, Bridgewatch: Stone).
Previous Tier Material Feedback
Refining higher tiers requires refined materials from previous tiers. Our calculator handles compound multi-tier production costs effortlessly.
Focus Refining Profitability
Determine whether refining T4, T5, T6, T7, or T8 with Focus yields the highest silver return per point of focus used.
Mastering the refining economy in Albion
Always refine in the bonus city
Never refine ore outside Thetford, or hide outside Martlock. The 36.7% base return rate without focus is non-negotiable.
Feed previous tiers systematically
Produce your own lower-tier refined inputs (e.g., T4 leather to refine T5 leather) to capture margin at each level.
Monitor daily production events
Keep an eye on daily activity bonuses that grant extra 10-20% refining return rates.
Calculate Silver per Focus
Compare your SPF across tiers to ensure you never waste Focus on low-tier batches.
