How do loot splits work in Albion Online guilds?

After group content like dungeons, fame farms, or ZvZ, the total loot value is collected and divided among participants. Dirtworks automates this: enter the total silver, configure an optional guild cut percentage, choose equal split or custom shares, and distribute payouts via UnbelievaBoat or manual distribution.

What is the difference between equal split and shares split?

Equal split divides the net pool evenly among all participants. Shares split assigns a multiplier (0.5x to 10x) to each participant - useful for rewarding leaders, scouts, or different roles. The net pool is divided proportionally based on total shares.

How does the guild cut work in loot splits?

The guild cut is a percentage deducted from the gross loot total before splitting. For example, with 10,000,000 silver and a 10% guild cut, 1,000,000 goes to the guild treasury and the remaining 9,000,000 is split among participants.

Q: Can I run multiple loot split sessions at once?

Yes. Each loot split session is independent with its own participants, totals, and payouts. You can run as many concurrent sessions as needed for different groups or content types.

Split loot fairly among guild members after dungeons, fame farms, ganking, or ZvZ content. Dirtworks handles the math and payouts so you can get back to playing.

What are Loot Splits?

Loot splits divide silver earned during group content among all participants. After a dungeon run, fame farm, or ZvZ session, one person typically collects all the loot and then distributes it. Dirtworks automates the calculation and payout process so officers don't have to do it manually.

Most Albion guilds take a guild cut (typically 5-20%) from the total before splitting, funding the guild treasury for regears, hideout maintenance, and other expenses. Dirtworks handles this automatically.

Loot Split Fields

Loot Total - Total silver from the session's loot
Books - Value of tomes of insight (optional, added to total)
Bags - Value of loot bags (optional, added to total)
Repair Cost - Deducted from the total before splitting
Guild Cut - Percentage kept by the guild treasury

Split Methods

Equal Split

Everyone gets the same amount. The net pool (after guild cut and repair costs) is divided evenly among all confirmed participants.

Shares Split

Assign a share multiplier to each participant (0.5x to 10x). The net pool is divided proportionally based on total shares. This is useful for:

Shot callers / leaders - Give 1.5x or 2x shares for organizing the content
Scouts and logistics - Reward support roles that enabled the loot
Partial attendance - Give 0.5x to members who only participated part-time

Method	Distribution	Best For
Equal	Same amount per person	Dungeons, fame farms, most ZvZ
Shares	Proportional to share multiplier	Rewarding leaders, scouts, or different roles

Guild Cut

The guild cut is a percentage deducted from the gross loot total before any splits happen. This silver goes to the guild treasury for regears, hideout upkeep, and other shared expenses.

The formula is straightforward:

Guild cut = gross_total * (guild_cut_percent / 100)
Net pool = gross_total - guild_cut - repair_costs
Per person = net_pool / participant_count

Set your default guild cut percentage in the Settings widget. It can be overridden per session.

Step-by-Step: Running a Loot Split

Start a Loot Split Session

In the Sessions widget, click "Start Session". Choose Loot Split as the type. Optionally link a voice channel to auto-track participants.

Run Your Content

Play your dungeon, fame farm, or other content. Participants are tracked automatically from voice, or you can add them manually.

End the Session

End the session when content is done. Confirm the participant list - toggle off anyone who shouldn't receive a share.

Enter Loot Values

In the Loot Split widget, enter the total silver, optional book/bag values, and any repair costs. Set the guild cut percentage and choose your split method.

Review and Pay

Preview the per-player breakdown. When satisfied, confirm and execute payouts via UnbelievaBoat or copy amounts for manual distribution.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Equal Split (5 Players, 10% Guild Cut)

Loot Total:    15,000,000 silver
Books:          2,000,000
Bags:           1,000,000
Gross Total:   18,000,000

Repair Cost:      500,000
Guild Cut (10%): 1,800,000
Net Pool:       15,700,000

5 participants, equal split:
  Per person: 3,140,000 silver each

Example 2: Shares Split (3 Players)

Net Pool: 9,000,000 silver

Shares:
  Shot Caller: 2.0x
  Player B:    1.0x
  Player C:    1.0x
  Total shares: 4.0

Per share value: 9,000,000 / 4.0 = 2,250,000

Payouts:
  Shot Caller: 2.0 * 2,250,000 = 4,500,000
  Player B:    1.0 * 2,250,000 = 2,250,000
  Player C:    1.0 * 2,250,000 = 2,250,000

Full Precision

Dirtworks uses full silver precision in calculations - no rounding to thousands or millions. Each player gets their exact share down to the silver.
