Craft & refining guide

Bridgewatch, in the heart of the desert, is a royal city where crafting and refining are especially profitable thanks to local bonuses. Ideal for plate armor, crossbows and curse staffs.

In Bridgewatch, every craft or refine gets a base production bonus of +18 %. This stacks with city specialties and focus, directly increasing your resource return rate (RRR).

Bridgewatch's refining specialty is Rock: you get +40 % production bonus when refining this raw resource into its refined form (metal bar, planks, cloth, leather or stone block).

To refine Rock at the best cost, use the Albion Craft Pro refining calculator with Bridgewatch selected — the +40 % bonus and RRR are included automatically in the profit calculation.

Bridgewatch's craft specialties (+15 % bonus on these categories) are: crossbows, daggers, curse staffs, plate armor, cloth shoes. Crafting these items in this city lowers material cost and improves net profit vs a city without the specialty.
