Yet another Albion crafting tool... but it's free, fast, and means you can finally close that bloated spreadsheet

Yet another Albion crafting tool... but it's free, fast, and means you can finally close that bloated spreadsheet

Hey guys,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past few months: Albion Online Hub.

Like most players who get into crafting and trading, I ended up relying on a massive, slow Google Sheet to calculate profit margins, track regional prices, and plan my runs. It worked, but it felt laggy, manually copying prices was a pain, and it was just annoying to open every time I wanted to play.

While existing web tools are fantastic and provide highly accurate results, I found that many of them can feel a bit overwhelming at first, requiring a lot of manual configuration and setup just to run a quick calculation.

I wanted to build AOH to be fast, clean, and focus purely on letting you plan runs with zero headache. It has full multi-server support (Europe, Americas, Asia) and is currently available in both English and Spanish.

Economy Features

  • Craft Planner: Designed to let you plan crafting runs without setting up sheets from scratch:
    • It auto-fills city bonuses, tax rates, and return rates based on where you craft and sell.
    • You can peek at prices in different cities and override them manually if needed.
    • You can check off items as 'done' to temporarily hide them from your shopping list without deleting them.
    • It keeps your local session state saved so you don't lose your progress if you close the tab.
  • Market Flips: Scans your selected cities for:
    • Transport Flips: Buying low in one city and selling high in another.
    • Enchanting Flips: Upgrading flat items with runes/souls/relics for profit.
    • NOTE: if using AODP Client, flips will be updated in real time the moment we receive the market info (if any valid market flips are present based on that data).
  • Profitable Crafts: allows you to scan the market to find or estimate items that would be profitable to craft
    • For now, it assumes quality 1 output, and no focus involved, in the future we will support broader filtering.
    • It scans all the items that are craftable in game (more than 8000), for all the royal cities, we pre-calculate these values and cache for 5 minutes, if you want to monitor in real time while you use AODP Client, allow some time for it to refresh.
  • Refining Calculator: Track margins for refining raw resources (supports focus/non-focus).
  • Farming & Breeding: Quick calculations for crops and animal yields.

Free vs Supporter Features

The site has no ads, works great on mobile, and is mostly free. I do have a Supporter tier to help cover the server/hosting bills:

  • Free features: Full access to the Craft Planner (saved locally to your browser), the refining and farming calculators, and up to 10 market flips at a time.
  • Supporter features:
    • Save multiple crafting plans permanently to the cloud so you can access them on any device.
    • An Order Tracker to log and monitor margins on your active market orders.
    • A Watchlist on your dashboard for quick access to your favorite recipes.
    • Unlimited market flips with full filters.

Guides & Price Accuracy

  • Builds & Guides: I also added a simple database for sharing builds and news/guides, though the economy tools are the main focus.
  • Price Data: The site uses the Albion Online Data Project (AODP). Since it's community-run, if you ever spot a manipulated or outdated price, let me know (or report it on the site) so I can wipe the bad data.

I really want to make this the go-to utility for crafters and traders, so I'd love to get your feedback. Let me know what calculators you want to see added next, or if there's anything I can improve!
