Lineage 2 Craft Profit Calculator
Estimate your expected adena profit (or loss) before crafting. Enter your recipe economics, add your materials, and calculate expected value using success chance.
Materials per attempt
Add quantity and unit price for each material consumed per one craft attempt.
Why use an L2 craft calculator?
In Lineage 2, crafting can look profitable on paper, but small mistakes in pricing or success-rate assumptions can erase your margins quickly. An L2 craft calculator helps you evaluate expected value before spending adena on materials, recipes, and fees.
What this calculator includes
- Craft attempts: How many times you plan to craft.
- Success rate: Your realistic probability of a successful craft.
- Material cost model: Quantity × unit price for each input material.
- Tax-aware revenue: Applies marketplace/transaction tax to expected sales.
- Break-even sale price: Shows how high your selling price must be to avoid losses.
How the math works
1) Expected successful crafts
Expected successes are estimated as: attempts × (success rate / 100). This is a probability average, not a guaranteed result.
2) Total crafting cost
For every attempt, material totals are summed, then multiplied by attempts. Any fixed per-attempt fee is also included:
- Total material cost = (sum of all material subtotals per attempt) × attempts
- Total fixed fees = fixed fee × attempts
- Total cost = total material cost + total fixed fees
3) Expected net profit
Revenue is based on expected successes, then tax is removed: expected revenue after tax − total cost = expected net profit.
Practical tips to improve craft profit
- Track real market prices daily; old prices make bad decisions.
- Use conservative success rates, especially for expensive recipes.
- Split large batches into smaller runs to reduce variance risk.
- Compare raw-material resale value vs final-item sale value.
- Include every fee: recipe, travel, tax, and opportunity cost.
Example workflow
Suppose you want to run 100 attempts at 60% success. You list the expected sale price, enter a 10% tax, add all material costs per attempt, and include any extra per-craft fee. The calculator immediately shows whether your expected value is positive and the break-even price you need.
Final note
This calculator is built for decision quality, not certainty. RNG can still produce short-term streaks. Over many attempts, however, expected value is the most reliable way to decide whether a craft line is worth your adena.
