Albion Online Focus Calculator

Focus is limited — 10,000 points a day — so spending it well matters more than spending it often. This guide explains how Focus Cost Efficiency works and how to rank crafts by silver per Focus, and the full tool turns your specialisation and live prices into an optimal daily Focus budget.

How to get the most from Focus

Using Focus roughly doubles your resource return rate (from about 24.8% to 47.9% when crafting in a bonus city), which sharply reduces the real material cost of an item. The catch is that Focus is scarce, so the question is never “is this craft cheaper with Focus?” but “does this craft earn more silver per Focus point than the next best use?”

The Focus cost of a craft falls as your Focus Cost Efficiency (FCE) rises. FCE comes from three sources: specialising the item itself (250 per level), specialising sibling items in the same category (30 each) and mastery levels (30 each). Because cost scales as0.5 ^ (FCE / 10000), deep specialisation can cut Focus cost by more than half — which is why veteran crafters concentrate on a few lines rather than spreading thin.

To budget a day of Focus, list every craft you can make, compute the extra profit Focus adds and the Focus it consumes, then fill your daily allowance from the highest silver-per-Focus item down. The full allocator does this automatically against live prices.

Frequently asked questions

What is Focus in Albion Online?

Focus is a resource that regenerates up to 10,000 per day (30,000 cap with Premium building) and roughly doubles the resource return rate when crafting or refining items you have specialised in. Because it lowers real material cost, spending Focus on the right items is one of the strongest silver-per-hour levers in the economy.

How is Focus cost calculated?

Focus cost per craft = base cost × 0.5 ^ (FCE / 10000), where FCE (Focus Cost Efficiency) comes from your specialisation on that item (250 per level), sibling items in the same category (30 each) and mastery (30 per level). More specialisation means each craft costs far less Focus.

What is silver per Focus?

Silver per Focus is the extra profit a craft earns from using Focus divided by the Focus points it consumes. Ranking your crafts by silver per Focus tells you where to spend a limited daily budget — a high-margin item that barely uses Focus beats a huge craft that drains it.

How should I spend my daily Focus?

Allocate it to the highest silver-per-Focus items you can craft, up to your daily budget. The full Focus tool takes your specialisation and current prices and produces an optimal allocation of your 10,000 (or 30,000) daily Focus.
