Albion Online Refining Calculator App

How does Albion Online do refining calculations?

Disclaimer: This is my take on Refining Calculator for Albion Online game. To see output, check console.

First off, Albion Online relies on specs (specialization) of player. Starting from Tier 4(t4) up to Tier 8(t8), you get specialization for each tier of materials when refining. Specialization is like levels you grind in most mmos. There is a minimum of 1 specs once you unlocked the tier and maximum of 100.

Each tier has 3 levels of enchantment: x.1 = common x.2 = rare x.3 = exceptional

Aside from specs, refining needs focus as well. These are replenised every 3 days for a maximum of 30000 points.

Using Focus Points also adds crafting bonus per location. See resource return rate per location. There is a focus cost for each refining per tier of materials. And the more specs you have, the less focus points you need to refine said materials.

Each materials has a base cost per tier and enchantment. You can see base cost per tier per enchantment in: base cost

Another value we need is the crafting bonus location. For this calculator, I removed the blackzone(bz) bonus in the constant variables. Resource return rate (rrr) have two values, one for not using focus and another for using focus. Basically, there is an additional bonus if players are crafting with focus.

Resource Return Rate

Crafting Bonus per Location	Without Focus	With Focus
Royal City with Bonus	.367	.539
Royal City without Bonus	.152	.435
Royal Island with Bonus	.285	.497
Royal Island without Bonus	0	.371
Black Zone Hideout	.2	.46

Materials Needed

Finally, refining per tier needs an X amount of low tiered refined materials and an X an amount of raw materials that you want to refine. The quantity varies per tier. Below is the list:

Tier to Refine	Raw Materials	Refined Materials
T4	x2	x1
T5	x3	x1
T6	x4	x1
T7	x5	x1
T8	x5	x1

Base Cost

Tier	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Exceptional
T4	48	89	143	239
T5	89	160	269	461
T6	160	284	487	844
T7	284	500	866	1508
T8	500	877	1527	2666

Formula

We start first with Focus Cost. This will determine how much focus points it will cost to refine a specific tier. The calculations goes like this:

FocusCost = baseCost * (focusCostEfficiency/10000)^0.5

Then for the focus cost efficiency, you add the total mastery specs of all tier multiplied by 30 and specialization for the specific tier you want to refine multiplied by 250. It goes like this:

totalMastery = (T4 + T5 + T6 + T7 + T8) * 30 specificTierSpecs = tierToRefineSpecs * 250

focusCostEfficiency = totalMastery + specificTierSpecs

For the baseCost, we just need to take it from base cost.
