How We Calculate Laborer Yield & Profit
Sourced Game Data & Yield Cap
Laborer mechanics are sourced directly from ao-bin-dumps (gamedata.json, buildings.json, and items.json):
- Maximum Yield Cap: In Albion Online, laborer yield is strictly capped at 150.00% (
LabourerSettings @maxyield: 1.5). - Happiness Mechanics: Happiness is segmented at 100 per bar (
@happinessperbarsegment: 100,@maxbarsegments: 9). In-game return rate depends on placing beds, tables, and trophies of the laborer's tier or higher. - Empty Journal Return: When a laborer returns from their 22-hour job, the empty journal is given back to the player, which can be resold or refilled.
Returned Materials & Valuations
Materials returned per profession based on journal loot tables:
- Gathering & Crafting: Return refined and raw resources matching the profession tier (planks, metal bars, cloth, leather, stone, or fish) scaled by the entered yield.
- Mercenaries: Return pure silver directly to the player without marketplace taxation.
- Marketplace Fees: Sell taxes (4% Premium / 8% non-premium) and setup fees (2.5%) apply when selling returned materials and empty journals.
