Albion Online Regear Tracking Guide

Automate death detection, gear pricing, and payouts for your Albion Online guild. Dirtworks tracks deaths from the Albion API, prices gear using real market data, and handles payouts in one click.

What is Regear?

Regear is a guild system where members who die during organized content (ZvZ, ganking, Avalonian roads) get reimbursed for the gear they lost. Most competitive Albion Online guilds offer some form of regear to encourage members to bring proper gear without fear of silver loss.

Without automation, regear tracking involves manually checking killboards, calculating gear values, and distributing silver - a tedious process that scales poorly as your guild grows. Dirtworks automates the entire workflow.

Why Guilds Need Regear Tracking

  • Encourages proper gear - Members bring the right builds when they know they'll be reimbursed
  • Saves officer time - No more manually checking killboards and calculating payouts
  • Transparency - Everyone can see exactly how gear values are calculated
  • Configurable rules - Set tier requirements, IP thresholds, and payout caps per role

How Automated Regear Works

Dirtworks connects to the public Albion Online API to detect deaths automatically. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

  1. Session tracking - You start a session and optionally link a Discord voice channel. Anyone who joins the voice channel is added as a participant.
  2. Death detection - After the session ends, Dirtworks queries the Albion API for each participant's deaths during the session timeframe.
  3. Gear pricing - All equipment on each death is priced using current market data from royal cities.
  4. Filter matching - If you've configured filters (tier requirements, comp restrictions), deaths are automatically validated and matched.
  5. Review and pay - Officers review the deaths, make adjustments if needed, and execute payouts via UnbelievaBoat or manual distribution.
Voice Channel Tracking

Link a Discord voice channel to your session and participants are added automatically when they join. No manual roster management needed.

Step-by-Step: Running a Regear Session

Start a New Session

In the Sessions widget, click "Start Session". Choose Regear as the session type. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "ZvZ Sunday #12"). Optionally select a voice channel and filter mode.

Run Your Content

Play your ZvZ, ganking session, or other content. Dirtworks tracks voice channel participants in the background. You can also manually add participants if needed.

End the Session

When content is done, end the session from the Actions widget. This locks the timeframe for death detection.

Fetch Deaths

Click "Fetch Deaths" to query the Albion API. Deaths are retrieved for all participants, priced, and filtered automatically. This may take a few seconds depending on participant count.

Review Deaths

The Deaths widget shows all detected deaths with gear values, filter matches, and inclusion status. Toggle deaths on/off, manually accept rejected deaths, or exclude unwanted ones.

Confirm and Pay

Once you're satisfied, confirm the session. The Payout widget shows per-player amounts. Execute payouts via UnbelievaBoat (automated) or copy to clipboard for manual distribution.

Gear Pricing

Equipment values are calculated from Albion market data. All prices come from the Albion Data Project, the same source used by popular killboard sites.

Equipment Slots Priced

Slot Included
MainHand, OffHand Always
Head, Armor, Shoes Always
Cape, Bag, Mount Always
Food, Potions Optional (disabled by default)

Price Sources

Source Description Best For
cache_median Median price from royal cities Default - stable market value
historical_7d 7-day volume-weighted average Short-term stable pricing
historical_30d 30-day volume-weighted average Long-term stable pricing
Price Differences

Gear values may differ slightly from killboard sites because of different price sources, timing, and quality fallback logic. Dirtworks uses current market data for the most accurate reimbursement values.

Gear Filters

Filters let you enforce gear requirements and cap payouts. Configure them in the Filters widget.

Tier Filters

Set minimum effective tier and IP requirements per equipment slot. Effective tier = base tier + enchantment level (e.g., T5.2 = effective tier 7).

Example Tier Filter

Name: ZvZ Main
Min IP: 1300
Max Payout: 2,000,000 silver

Slot Requirements:
  MainHand: 7 (T5.2+)
  Head:     7
  Armor:    7
  Shoes:    7
  Cape:     6

With this filter, a death is included only if all configured slots meet the tier requirement and total IP is at least 1300. The payout is capped at 2M silver even if the gear was worth more.

Comp Filters

Define specific allowed items per slot, grouped into gear sets. Useful for guilds that require specific builds for different roles.

Example Comp Filter

Comp: "ZvZ Main"
  Gear Set: "Healer"
    MainHand: Holy Staff, Great Holy, Fallen Staff (T7+)
    Head: Knight Helm, Guardian Helm (T7+)
    Min IP: 1300
    Max Payout: 2,500,000

  Gear Set: "Tank"
    MainHand: Incubus Mace, Camlann Mace (T8+)
    Min IP: 1400
    Max Payout: 3,000,000

Items match by base type regardless of tier. "Great Holy Staff" matches T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8 variants.

Filter + Manual Override

Filters auto-sort deaths, but officers can always manually accept a rejected death or exclude an accepted one before confirming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't deaths showing up?

Three common causes:

  • Character not linked - The player's Discord name doesn't match their Albion character. Use /albion-link <character_name> in Discord to connect them.
  • API delay - Deaths may take a few minutes to appear in the Albion API. Wait and fetch again.
  • Outside session timeframe - The death occurred before the session started or after it ended.

How are gear prices calculated?

Equipment values come from the Albion Data Project market data. By default, Dirtworks uses the median price from all royal cities. You can switch to 7-day or 30-day volume-weighted averages in Settings for more stable pricing.

Can I run multiple regear sessions at once?

Yes. Each session is fully independent with its own participants, deaths, and payouts. Run as many concurrent sessions as you need.

How do I set up payout automation?

Invite the UnbelievaBoat bot, create an application at unbelievaboat.com/applications, set the Bot Client ID to 1464230991450345654, authorize it for your server, then paste the token in the Settings widget. See the ZvZ Payouts guide for the full 7-step setup.
