Albion Online · cross-city arbitrage · 8 markets
Albion arbitrage calculator
Where is it worth hauling goods right now? This scanner compares the live best orders for 63 traded items across every major Albion city and ranks the routes by net profit — after market fees, not before. Prices come from the Albion Online Data Project and refresh hourly.
Live snapshot: 2026-10-31 18:23 UTC · 63 items × 8 cities
default fees: premium 4% + 1.25%
No route clears the current filters. That is a real answer: with these fees, no tracked item is worth moving right now. Lower the minimum margin, widen the quote age, or check back after the next hourly update.
Net profit = listing price − fees (setup fee on the listing, sales tax on the sale) − your purchase price. Prices are the live best orders from the Albion Online Data Project; the age column shows how fresh each quote is, because a two-day-old listing price is a trap. Methodology
Get told when a route opens up
The scanner only helps when you remember to open it — but arbitrage windows close in hours, not days. Email alerts aren't built yet; they're the next thing we're building. Leave your address and you'll be the first to set one.
One email when alerts launch. No newsletter, no sharing your address.
How the profit maths works
Two ways to run a route
Buy now → list buys the cheapest existing sell order in the origin city (it fills immediately) and lists the goods on the destination market. That is the realistic route: only your sell side has to wait. Buy order → list places a buy order in the origin city instead, which fills at a better price if a seller takes it — more margin, but both legs wait for a counterparty.
Fees come out of the listing price
Albion charges a setup fee when you place a sell order and a sales tax when it fills, and both are multiplicative. The default model here is 4% + 1.25% for premium and 8% + 2.5% without. Territory and hideout bonuses change these, so the scanner lets you enter your own numbers — the ranking recomputes instantly.
Quote age is part of the answer
A price that has not moved in two days is not a price you can trade against. Every row shows how old each quote is, and the scanner drops quotes older than the age limit you set. Wide spreads on stale quotes are the classic way this kind of tool misleads people.
What this does not model
Transport risk (this is a full-loot PvP game — the route itself is the risk), market depth beyond the best order, and how long your listing takes to fill. Treat the scanner as a shortlist of routes worth checking in game, not as guaranteed profit.
