Historical Korean Stronghold crafting model · About these guides
Stronghold crafting can turn materials and Action Energy into items to use or sell. It is not guaranteed passive income: input prices, fees, production limits, demand, and time spent managing queues all affect the result.
Comparing the Two Abidos Material Tiers
The source models buying all inputs from the Market. Its prices and profits are historical Korean examples, rather than current North American quotes or a complete reproducible calculator.
- Abidos Fusion Material: selling at 82 gold per unit, with modeled weekly profit of 46,480 gold.
- The source’s higher-tier Abidos material: selling at 109 gold, with modeled weekly profit of 78,386 gold. Confirm the exact recipe tier before comparing prices.
The modeled difference is 31,906 gold. It depends on the missing input-price and production assumptions; a change in either product’s margin can reverse the result.
Action Energy Changes the Comparison
Check both crafting capacity and the Action Energy needed to sustain it. A profitable batch cannot be repeated indefinitely without resources and time.
- Source weekly Action Energy budget: approximately 176,000, assuming its Stronghold setup, Korean subscription benefits, and recovery items. This is not a standard allowance for every account.
- Fourteen modeled regular-material runs use about 154,000 energy. That fits the assumed budget, without proving unlimited production.
- Fourteen modeled higher-tier runs use about 192,080 energy, exceeding it by 16,080.
At those costs, twelve higher-tier runs fit while thirteen exceed the budget. The article’s alternative weekly profit scenarios are:
- Regular material: approximately 53,000 gold from sixteen runs.
- Higher-tier material: approximately 67,180 gold from twelve runs.
These scenarios differ from the earlier fourteen-run schedule. Check available crafting time, queue size, energy recovery, and actual costs before treating either as a realistic weekly return.
Subscription Benefits Need a Regional Comparison
The source calls Korea’s Ninav’s Blessing at 9,900 won mandatory for crafting. That is neither a current Western product quote nor proof of the best purchase. Western subscription names and benefits differ; compare the actual offer and your likely usage.
- Source estimate for regular material: 71,400 additional gold per month.
- Source estimate for the higher tier: 97,700 additional gold per month. Neither estimate is a guaranteed return or includes a verified current regional conversion of the subscription cost.
Compare Direct Inputs With Material Exchanges
A powder-conversion route can sometimes reduce input costs. It can also cost more than buying the final input. Check Market bundle sizes and the current exchange ratios, including leftovers.
The Source’s Logging Conversion Example
- It buys 26 bundles of Sturdy Timber and 24 of Tender Timber, assuming 100 units per bundle: 2,600 and 2,400 units respectively. Verify the actual item names and bundle size in your client.
- It exchanges the 2,600 Sturdy Timber for 26,000 basic Timber. That is the source’s assumed exchange ratio, rather than a promise for every material or server version.
- It converts 21,500 of that Timber into the relevant Trade Skill powder, leaving 4,500 Timber. Other inputs still need to be accounted for.
- It then exchanges the powder for 1,720 Abidos Timber. Reprice the entire route, crafting fee, sales fee, and unsold stock before choosing it. Gathered inputs also have an opportunity cost; owning them does not make the product’s profit equal to its sale price.
