Refining EV calculator

Pick a recipe below and we'll work out how many tries, how long, and how much silver it takes to refine the amount you want — and whether it's cheaper to gather the materials or buy them.

always succeeds; the only variable is yield — each try has a output. Higher skill level refines faster.

The numbers are exact averages, not a simulation. Refining is different from gear — there's no failure and no involved.

Target recipe

Outputs wanted Region

Chance for 2× processing: 0.0% yield 1.00× Per-attempt probability of producing 2 outputs instead of 1. Stacks from gear (e.g. "+8% chance for 2× processing"). Game-data observed range per piece is 2–10%; cap when stacked is unverified.

Profession (Pattern A) View profession page Crafter level: 50 (milestone L50) +5% 2× Between milestones the prior row applies (e.g. L42 uses the L40 row). +2× chance stacks on the slider above; combined chance can't exceed 100%. Pet level: None Pet bonus = faster refining + 2× chance for cooking & alchemy. No effect for smelting/blacksmith/tailoring.

Gather assumptions

Seconds per node Yield per node Silver / hour (alt grind rate)

Defaults: 60s / node, 1 unit / node, 1M silver/hr opportunity cost. All tunable; flagged as estimates pending in-game data.
