Albion Online Farming and Breeding Calculator

You need to to use this tool.

WHAT IS THIS TOOL?

Compare farming, breeding and one-step crafting by initial investment, recurring profit and estimated payback. Sell your harvest or grown animals, saddle mounts, or use the Mill, Butcher, Cook and Alchemist.

Results compares a full plot: 9 plants or pasture animals, or 4 kennel animals. Your Islands uses your recorded plots and can combine their harvests for feeding and crafting.

Daily quantities and profits are long-run averages. Seed returns, offspring and crafting returns can vary; an individual harvest may differ from the estimate.

HOW IT WORKS

Crops and herbs

Reuse returned seeds, buy replacements when needed, and sell the harvest and surplus seeds.

Raising animals

Feed baby animals through their growth cycle. Sell the grown animal or choose a saddling recipe. Keep offspring for the next cycle and sell any surplus.

Milk and eggs

Feed adult animals to collect their products. The adult is part of your starting investment and stays for later cycles.

One crafting step

Use farming output in one direct recipe and purchase the other ingredients. Mill, Butcher, Cook and Alchemist recipes retain returned ingredients for future crafts. The calculator does not follow multiple crafting steps.

QUICK START
  1. Open Results. Choose your farming location, Premium and farming Focus. Use Settings to select your specifications.
  2. Set prices and food. Choose how to value purchases and sales. Use Select cheapest food, or expand an animal to compare food options and edit prices.
  3. Set up crafting. Expand Crafting stations to choose each station’s location, island setting, usage fee and Focus. Information icons show location bonuses.
  4. Compare options. Filter by plot or station type and output enchantment, then sort by profit/day, investment or payback. Expand a result for its calculations.
  5. Save your preferences. Use Save to keep settings and filter choices. Changes are not saved automatically.
SETTINGS AND FILTERS

Locations, Premium and Focus

Farming location controls yield bonuses; crafting stations have their own locations and bonuses. Both are separate from your buying and selling markets. Premium affects applicable growth times, yields, fame and sales tax. Specifications reduce Focus costs. Your Islands uses each island’s location and each plot’s Focus choices.

Prices and setup fees

Estimated Market Value (EMV) is server-wide. Buy, Sell and Average prices use the selected market. You can also enter prices manually or buy supported stock from NPCs. Buy setup fee and Sell setup fee each cycle through Automatic, On and Off. Automatic follows your price method; NPC purchases remain fee-free, and sales tax is separate.

Result filters

Only Bonus includes farming yield bonuses and item-specific crafting bonuses at your selected locations. Enchantment applies to the harvest or finished product, including raw farming and saddling. Hide Missing Prices removes results with required prices missing. These filters do not change your island recipe choices.

Hide low volume is on by default. It hides a result when any daily market purchase or sale reaches twice the average daily volume per city, or has no usable history. The comparison uses 15 complete days across the seven Royal markets, including Caerleon and Brecilien, ignoring zero-volume days and averaging cities equally. Turn it off to see those results too.

READING THE RESULTS

Initial investment

Starting seeds or animals, first-cycle food and applicable purchase fees, plus the opening purchases needed for crafting. For an existing island, this estimates the cost to establish its layout.

Recurring profit

Sales after fees and taxes, minus replacement stock, food, purchased ingredients and crafting costs. Profit/day converts each cycle to a daily average.

Estimated payback

Initial investment divided by recurring profit/day. Zero or negative profit has no estimated payback.

Focus and calculation details

Focus/day shows average Focus use. Silver/Focus counts profit from activities using Focus. Information icons explain the quantities, prices and calculations behind the values.

Expand a result to compare daily and per-cycle figures, recipe ingredients, and first-craft stock. Actual crafts need a complete recipe even when daily averages are fractional. Missing startup prices can leave investment and payback unavailable while recurring profit remains known. Refresh prices can fill missing prices or replace all prices.

YOUR ISLANDS

Visit your plots with AFM Data Client running and AFM Island Tracker enabled to record your layout. Use Refresh observations after a visit to load newer records, then expand an island to review its farming and crafting returns.

Choose recipes for your farm outputs and combine harvests assigned to the same recipe. Matching seeds and offspring are reserved first, then island produce feeds animals and supplies your selected recipes automatically. Buy only shortages and sell the surplus. Expand Production flow to see where each item goes.

Prices, food choices and station settings are shared with Results. Edit prices directly in the weekly shopping list to update the calculator’s costs and returns. The list shows recurring purchases and sales after reuse; starting stock is separate. For collection timers and feeding tasks, use the Farming Tracker.

IMPORTANT LIMITS

Estimates assume continuous feeding and repeated production. Payback is based on average output, not your next collection date or past spending. Market data and island observations may be old or incomplete, and estimated prices and trade volumes do not guarantee a sale.

The calculator excludes travel time, island purchase or rental costs, buildings, maintenance and the cost of waiting for a sale. Review missing-data notices before relying on incomplete totals.

PLAN AN ISLAND

Open Planner to design a fully upgraded personal island in any city. Start with an empty island, copy a recorded layout from Your Islands, or duplicate a plan. Choose a farming building for each plot and fill its individual slots with crops, herbs, or animals.

View estimates alongside your recorded islands in Your Islands. Prices, Premium, specifications, food choices, and station settings are shared across the calculator. Each planned island keeps its own layout, plot Focus, food reuse, and recipes.

Use Save island to keep a plan in your account. Save settings keeps the shared calculator preferences. Unsaved plans update estimates immediately and remain available while switching calculator tabs.
