How cooking profit works in Albion Online
Food in Albion is crafted at the Cook in a city kitchen from farm produce, meat and fish. Every craft draws from a recipe — soups, pies, omelettes, salads, stews, roasts, sandwiches — and Lymhurst's cook station carries the city bonus that lifts the RRR (Resource Return Rate).
Demand for food is steady because buffs expire — guilds and PvE players burn through soups and pies daily — so cooking is one of the more reliable economy loops. The calculator pulls live ingredient prices and the finished-food price together, so you see real net margin, not just material cost.
Profit per focus is reported alongside profit per dish, which matters once you're cooking at scale and focus, not silver, is the limiter.
