Formula Used
Total boost % = territory boost + gear boost + food boost + event boost + other boost.
Effective XP per craft = base XP per craft × (1 + total boost ÷ 100).
Required crafts = ceiling(required XP ÷ effective XP per craft).
Material cost per craft = sum of each material quantity × its unit cost.
Total cost = required crafts × (material cost per craft + station fee + extra cost).
Expected output = normal output + expected bonus output.
Net sales = expected output × sell price − trading tax.
Net profit = net sales + salvage value − total cost.
Net cost per XP = (total cost − total revenue) ÷ total XP gained.
How To Use This Calculator
Choose the trade skill and enter your current level. Add the target level you want to reach.
Enter base XP for the recipe you plan to craft. Use the custom required XP field when you already know the exact XP gap.
Add every active boost. Include food, territory standing, gear, town effects, events, or other bonuses.
Enter material quantities and market costs. Use real trading post values for better planning.
Add output price, tax, station fees, and salvage value. Submit the form to compare required crafts, total cost, and profit.
New World Trade Skill Planning
Trade skill leveling can feel simple at first. Later levels change the picture. Recipes need more materials. Market prices move often. Boosts also change the real amount of experience earned from each craft. A clear calculator helps you compare those moving parts before spending coin.
Why This Tool Helps
This page estimates the path from your current level to a chosen target level. You can enter your current progress, base experience per craft, material quantities, station fees, selling prices, taxes, and expected output bonuses. The result shows required crafts, total materials, total cost, revenue, profit, batch count, and estimated days.
Smart Inputs Matter
The best estimate starts with current market numbers. Check the trading post first. Use buy order prices when you plan ahead. Use instant buy prices when speed matters. Enter realistic sale prices for finished items. Add tax and station fees so profit is not overstated.
Experience Boosts
Food, gear, territory standing, town buffs, and event bonuses may raise experience gained. The calculator combines those percentages and applies them to the base experience per craft. This helps you see whether a boost reduces craft count enough to justify its cost.
Advanced Route Testing
Advanced users can test opportunity cost too. Enter gathered materials with a market value, even when you farmed them yourself. That shows what the same resources could earn through direct sales. Use the daily craft limit field for cooldown items or limited play time. Batch size helps plan storage trips. Expected bonus output gives a softer revenue estimate, especially for recipes that sometimes create extra items. It also flags routes needing too much investment very early.
Cost And Profit Review
Leveling is not only about experience. Expensive crafts can be useful when they save time. Cheap crafts can still lose coin when output value is low. The net result compares total cost against expected item sales and salvage value. This makes route testing easier.
Use It As A Planning Guide
Game balance, recipes, and market prices can change. Treat this calculator as a planning model, not a fixed rule. Run several recipe choices side by side. Then choose the route that fits your coin, time, storage space, and gathering plan.
FAQs
What does this trade skill calculator estimate?
It estimates required crafts, XP gain, material needs, costs, revenue, and profit for a selected trade skill route.
Can I use exact XP values?
Yes. Enter a custom required XP amount. The calculator will use that value instead of the level curve estimate.
Are the XP curves official game data?
No. They are planning models. Use custom required XP when you need exact matching for your current game version.
How are boosts handled?
All boost percentages are added together. The total boost increases the base XP earned from each craft.
Does the calculator include taxes?
Yes. Enter the trading tax rate. It subtracts that tax from gross sales before calculating profit.
What is net cost per XP?
Net cost per XP shows the real cost after expected sales and salvage value are considered.
Why include gathered material costs?
Gathered materials still have market value. Including that value shows the opportunity cost of using them.
Can I compare several recipes?
Yes. Run the form with different recipe values, then compare crafts needed, cost per XP, and profit.
