Resource Return Rate
General Information
When crafting or refining an item, you may be given back a certain amount of materials used to make that item. The amount of returned resources depends on the Resource Return Rate (RRR).
The Resource Return Rate is calculated from local production bonus via this formula: 1-1/(1 + (Local Production Bonus/100))
- These two variables are tied to each other in that Local Production Bonus represents the percent increase in item output you would receive if you were to craft that item continuously until you couldn't anymore
- RRR is the number of resources you're supplied back in order for that to happen
- A general overview can be found via the information button on the local production bonuses drop-down of the local map UI: https://imgur.com/a/OTjRSxV
Return Rate in Islands, Cities and Territories
The return rate value depends on whether you are crafting or refining in a City, Territory, or on your island. The return rate can be further increased by using Focus Points.

Increase your Crafting Efficiency
With each Mastery level in the crafting or refining line of the Destiny Board of the item you are crafting or refining, your Focus cost will be reduced.
Using Journals
If you have a Journal in your inventory while crafting you can view the returns of the full journals as a further return rate, but since the Journals act as a bonus they work slightly differently. Please see the Laborer and Journal pages for more information.
