Price Checker

Search for any item by name — weapons, armor, resources, food, mounts, or consumables. Albion Forge pulls live data from the Albion Data Project and shows you the current sell order minimum (the cheapest price anyone is selling for) and buy order maximum (the highest someone is willing to pay) across all six royal cities and the Black Market.

Prices update continuously as players post and fill orders in-game. The data covers all three servers: Americas (West), Europe, and Asia (East). Use the server selector to match your home server.

Albion Online has six royal cities — Bridgewatch, Caerleon, Fort Sterling, Lymhurst, Martlock, and Thetford — plus the Black Market in Caerleon. Each city has its own independent market, so the same item can sell for wildly different prices depending on location.

Cities tend to specialize in certain resources and have local supply/demand dynamics. Fort Sterling, for example, often has better prices on ore and metal bars because of its proximity to mountainous gathering zones. Lymhurst benefits from fiber and cloth. Bridgewatch sees heavy activity in stone and sandstone. These biome relationships affect which city is cheapest or most expensive for a given item on any given day.

The Black Market is unique — it's a special NPC buyer that purchases items at fixed prices to distribute as loot drops in the open world. The Black Market often pays more than the city sell price for popular gear, which creates the arbitrage opportunity known as "Black Market flipping."

Sell Price (Min) — the lowest active sell order in that city. This is what you'd pay if you bought immediately from the market.

Buy Price (Max) — the highest active buy order. This is what you'd receive if you sold instantly to an existing buyer rather than posting your own sell order.

CHEAPEST badge — the city with the lowest sell price across all markets. If you want to buy an item, this is where to go. Prices flagged as suspected manipulation (a single outlier order far above the norm) are excluded from this calculation and shown with a strikethrough.

Check multiple tiers. T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8 items often have very different supply levels. A T6 version of an item might be scarce in Martlock but plentiful in Fort Sterling. Always check adjacent tiers if your target is overpriced.

Time your purchases. Prices fluctuate by time of day based on when players are active. EU prime time (6–11 PM CET) typically has the most active markets and the most competitive prices. Off-hours often see wider spreads and more opportunities.

Watch for manipulation. High-value items are frequently targeted by price manipulators who post a single sell order at 5–10× the real price to distort the displayed minimum. Albion Forge detects these outliers and flags them. If you see a strikethrough on a price, treat it as unavailable.

Factor in taxes. Selling on the Albion market costs a listing fee (typically 2.5–4.5%) plus a sales tax (2.5–4.5%) depending on your city reputation. The net cost to sell is usually 6–8% of the sale price. Always model this when deciding whether a price difference between cities is worth the transport risk.

Use the Price Checker before crafting. Before committing materials to a crafting run, look up your finished product in each city to find the best sell destination. Combine this with the Crafting Calculator to model your actual margin after material costs, city bonus, and sell taxes.
