Craft & refining guide
Martlock, the western gateway, combines production bonuses with varied craft specialties — axes, quarterstaves, shields and off-hand items. A must for diversifying your production.
In Martlock, 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).
Martlock's refining specialty is Hide: you get +40 % production bonus when refining this raw resource into its refined form (metal bar, planks, cloth, leather or stone block).
To refine Hide at the best cost, use the Albion Craft Pro refining calculator with Martlock selected — the +40 % bonus and RRR are included automatically in the profit calculation.
Martlock's craft specialties (+15 % bonus on these categories) are: axes, quarterstaves, frost staffs, plate shoes, shields, off-hand books, off-hand torches. Crafting these items in this city lowers material cost and improves net profit vs a city without the specialty.
Compare Martlock with other royal cities (Thetford, Fort Sterling, Lymhurst, Bridgewatch, Caerleon) based on your pipeline: resource refining, weapon or armor type, and material prices on the royal market.
