1. What is Crafting Focus?

Crafting Focus is an energy resource that allows crafters and refiners to significantly increase their Resource Return Rate (RRR) and chance of high item quality (Good, Outstanding, Excellent, Masterpiece). In refining, Focus boosts the return rate in specialty cities from 36.7% up to 53.9%.

2. Regeneration & Account Status

Status	Daily Regeneration	Hourly Rate	Maximum Cap
Active Premium	10,000 Focus / 24h	416.6 Focus / hour	30,000 Focus (3 days)
Non-Premium	0 Focus	0 Focus	0 Focus

Cap Alert: Because the focus pool caps at 30,000 points, any focus generated past this limit is permanently lost. Active crafters should spend focus at least once every 72 hours.

3. Mathematical Cost Reduction Formula

As your character progresses on the Destiny Board, focus costs decrease exponentially according to the official formula:

Actual Focus Cost = Base Focus Cost × 0.5^(Mastery / 10000)

For every 10,000 mastery efficiency points earned, the focus cost of that activity is cut in half:

0 Mastery: 100% of Base Focus Cost
10,000 Mastery: 50% of Base Focus Cost
20,000 Mastery: 25% of Base Focus Cost
30,000 Mastery: 12.5% of Base Focus Cost

4. Destiny Board Mastery Points

Efficiency points accumulate from two distinct sources on the Destiny Board:

General Node Mastery: Grants efficiency points to all items within that entire category (e.g. all Sword crafting or all Cloth refining).
Specific Item Specialization: Grants 250 points per level to the specific item being crafted, plus 30 points to all sibling items in that tree.

Reaching 100/100 specialization across an entire line reduces focus costs down to approximately 8–9% of base cost, allowing over 10× more items to be produced per 10,000 focus.

5. Silver Per Focus (SPF) Optimization

The standard benchmark for evaluating crafting profitability is Silver Per Focus (SPF):

SPF = Net Profit from Focus Usage / Focus Points Spent

• Below 30 SPF: Low efficiency (e.g. low-tier un-enchanted materials).
• 40–70 SPF: Solid daily baseline for high-spec T6/T7 refining.
• 80+ SPF: Exceptional returns, typically found on T8.3/T8.4 gear, high-tier artifact weapons, or Black Market crafting.
