How We Calculate Farming Profit
Harvest Yield & Multipliers
Base harvest yield is drawn directly from the game's loot table (loot.json) and modifiers (farmingmodifiers.json):
- Loot Drop Range: 3 to 6 units (4.5 units average per harvest from
loot.json). - Premium Account: Reduces marketplace transaction tax from 8% to 4% (in Albion Online game data, Premium does not double farming crop drops).
- City Island Bonus: Islands located in specific royal cities gain a +10% yield bonus (
@islandvalue: 0.1) for matching crops (e.g. Fort Sterling for Turnips). - Earthworm Bonus: 10% chance to drop 1 Earthworm per crop plot.
Seed Return & Market Taxes
Seed preservation rates come from items.json:
- Base Seed Chance: 0% at T1, scaling up to 80% at T8.
- Watered (Focus): Adds active farming bonus, pushing seed return up to 120%–200% (surplus seeds can be resold).
- Market Fees: 2.5% setup fee + 4% tax (Premium) or 8% tax (Non-Premium) for sell orders, calculated via shared fee engine.
