Most traded items in Albion

In Albion Online, making silver isn't about crafting the most expensive item — it's about crafting (or flipping) what people actually buy. A high-priced item with no demand sits in your sell tab for days, with your silver locked up alongside it. A high-volume item sells fast, frees your capital and lets you flip the same silver several times a day.

This ranking shows, with real market data, what moves the most in the game's economy over the last 7 days. It's the starting point for deciding where to invest your time and silver with less risk of holding dead stock.

The numbers come from the Albion Online Data Project (AODP), a community project that records the prices and quantities shown on the market when players open orders in-game.

For each item we sum the observed volume (the item_count field) of each day, across the last 7 days, in all royal cities — Caerleon, Bridgewatch, Martlock, Lymhurst, Fort Sterling and Thetford. The highest sum ranks first. We also show the volume-weighted average price so you get a sense of the ticket involved.

An honest caveat: this is a movement proxy, not a record of completed sales. The game itself doesn't publish real transaction volume. Even so, it's the best public signal of what's churning — and more than enough to guide decisions. The last-updated date appears right under the ranking title.

You'll notice the top is usually filled with refined resources, runes, souls and relics. That's expected: they're consumed en masse by crafters and enchanters. Every crafted weapon burns dozens of bars and planks; every enchant devours runes, souls and relics. The result is huge volume — usually with a thin per-unit margin.

Final items like weapons, armor and bags show smaller volumes but typically a larger margin per piece. In short: high volume doesn't mean high profit. Both ends exist, and each calls for a different strategy.

Knowing what sells a lot is only half the path. The other half is knowing whether selling it actually turns a profit — and that's exactly the work Craft Planner does for you.

On every item page, the calculator pulls live prices and shows, material by material, whether it's better to buy, craft or farm — already accounting for the resource return rate, the crafting fee and the market tax. In seconds you see the real production cost and the estimated profit (or loss) before spending a single coin.

There's also the transport tab, which compares buying in one city and selling in another to spot arbitrage, and the Manual Calculator, to simulate scenarios with your own prices. All built so you decide with numbers, not guesswork.

1. Pick an item from the ranking that fits your style: gatherer, refiner, crafter or flipper.

2. Open its page and check the calculator for the best route — buy, craft or farm — with current prices.

3. Check the ROI. If it's negative, the ranking just saved you from a bad investment.

4. Look at the transport tab: sometimes the profit isn't in crafting, but in moving goods from one city to another.

5. Repeat with a few items, focus on the ones with consistent margin and fast turnover, and reinvest. That's how silver grows without nasty surprises.

Bottom line: the ranking tells you what sells; the calculator tells you what's profitable. Together they cut the risk of dead stock and crafting at a loss.
