Escape from Tarkov craft costs: compare inputs and expected proceeds

Your next three steps

1. 01

   Read the complete recipe

   Count the required quantities for the exact recipe and station level. A reusable tool is not the same as a consumed ingredient. Treating both as a repeated cost can distort a comparison between recipes.

2. 02

   Separate tools from consumed inputs

   Compare input and output quotes in the same game mode and inspect their update ages. A price snapshot is a reference, not a guarantee that a listing will sell at that amount. Fees and other entered expenses change what remains.

3. 03

   Compare net proceeds

   Record the craft you begin rather than every recipe you considered. When it finishes, review what to keep, sell or use in the next project. Update the shopping list and station plan so a finished craft does not remain a stale preparation task.

Identify what the craft uses

Count the required quantities for the exact recipe and station level. A reusable tool is not the same as a consumed ingredient. Treating both as a repeated cost can distort a comparison between recipes.

Check which supplies are already owned, but keep cash spending separate from the value consumed. A recipe with no immediate purchase can still use ingredients that had another valuable purpose.

Use prices from the same context

Compare input and output quotes in the same game mode and inspect their update ages. A price snapshot is a reference, not a guarantee that a listing will sell at that amount. Fees and other entered expenses change what remains.

Track the production you actually start

Record the craft you begin rather than every recipe you considered. When it finishes, review what to keep, sell or use in the next project. Update the shopping list and station plan so a finished craft does not remain a stale preparation task.
