albion online city bonuses

In Albion Online, each major city offers unique refining and crafting bonuses that reduce the resource costs and provide other benefits when refining or crafting specific items. These bonuses are tied to the city's local resources and influence the economy by encouraging players to refine or craft certain items in specific cities. Heres a breakdown of the city bonuses as of the latest update: Refining Bonuses (40% Return Rate) Each city provides a 40% resource return rate (RRR) when refining specific resources in that city. This means you get back 40% of the raw materials used when refining in the correct city. City Refining Bonus Resource Thetford Fiber (Cloth Refining) Bridgewatch Ore (Metal Bars Refining) Lymhurst Wood (Planks Refining) Fort Sterling Stone (Blocks Refining) Martlock Hide (Leather Refining) Crafting Bonuses (15% Resource Return) Each city also provides a 15% resource return rate when crafting certain gear types. This applies to final crafting (not refining). City Crafting Bonus (15% RRR) Thetford Cloth Armor & Arcane Staves Bridgewatch Plate Armor & Fire Staves Lymhurst Cloth Robes & Holy Staves Fort Sterling Plate Helmets & Frost Staves Martlock Leather Armor & Nature Staves Caerleon & Black Zone Bonuses Caerleon (Royal Continent) has no refining or crafting bonuses but is a major PvP hub. Black Zone cities (in the Outlands) provide flat 15% return rates for all refining and crafting, but no specialization bonuses. Optimal Crafting Strategy To maximize efficiency: Refine raw materials in the city that matches the resource (e.g., Ore in Bridgewatch). Craft gear in the city that matches the item type (e.g., Plate Armor in Bridgewatch). Transport goods to sell in cities where they are not produced (for higher profits).
