Albion Online ZvZ Payout & Combined Mode Guide

ZvZ Payout Automation

ZvZ content in Albion Online generates both deaths (requiring regear) and loot (requiring splits). Most guilds handle these separately - tracking regears in a spreadsheet and splitting loot manually. Dirtworks automates both in a single workflow.

Three Session Types for ZvZ

How Combined Mode Works

Combined mode handles regear and loot splits in a single session. The key difference from running them separately: regear costs are deducted from the loot pool before splitting. This means the group collectively funds regears from the content's earnings.

The Combined Mode Flow

1. Calculate gross loot - Total silver + books + bags - repair costs
2. Deduct guild cut - Percentage to guild treasury
3. Calculate total regear - Sum of all included death payouts
4. Deduct regear from loot - Remaining loot is the split pool
5. Split remaining loot - Divide among all participants
6. Final payout - Each player gets: loot share + personal regear

The formula:

net_loot = gross_total - guild_cut
split_pool = net_loot - total_regear
per_person_loot = split_pool / participant_count
final_payout = per_person_loot + personal_regear

Worked Example: Combined ZvZ Session

A guild runs a ZvZ session with 20 participants. They earn loot and have 4 deaths.

Loot Total:     50,000,000 silver
Guild Cut (10%): 5,000,000
Net Pool:       45,000,000

Deaths (4 total, all included):
  Player A: 2,500,000 (gear value, capped by filter)
  Player B: 1,800,000
  Player C: 3,200,000
  Player D: 2,500,000
  Total Regear: 10,000,000

Loot after regear: 45,000,000 - 10,000,000 = 35,000,000
Split equally among 20 players: 1,750,000 each

Final Payouts:
  Player A: 1,750,000 (loot) + 2,500,000 (regear) = 4,250,000
  Player B: 1,750,000 (loot) + 1,800,000 (regear) = 3,550,000
  Player C: 1,750,000 (loot) + 3,200,000 (regear) = 4,950,000
  Player D: 1,750,000 (loot) + 2,500,000 (regear) = 4,250,000
  Everyone else: 1,750,000 each (loot only)

When Regear Exceeds Loot

If total regear costs are higher than the available loot pool, regears are prioritized:

• Regears are paid in priority order (first deaths before second deaths per player)
• Any regear that can't be covered from the pool results in partial payouts
• The loot split portion goes to zero - there's no loot left to split

Example: Regear exceeds loot

Net Pool:       5,000,000
Total Regear:   8,000,000

Regear is partially covered (5,000,000 of 8,000,000)
Loot split: 0 (pool exhausted)
Players with deaths: receive partial regear
Players without deaths: receive 0

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when regear exceeds loot in combined mode?

Regears are paid first in priority order. If the loot pool runs out, remaining regears receive partial payouts and the loot split portion is zero. Consider using a separate treasury-funded regear session for heavy-loss ZvZ.

Can I edit a session after paying?

No. Paid sessions are permanently locked. If a correction is needed, create a new session. You can undo a confirmation before paying, but once payouts execute, no changes are possible.

Can I use combined mode without UnbelievaBoat?

Yes. UnbelievaBoat automates the actual silver transfer, but you can also use the "Copy to Clipboard" option to get a formatted payout list for manual distribution in-game.

How do I switch from regear-only to combined mode?

Session type is chosen when starting a new session. You can't change an existing session's type. Start a new combined session for your next ZvZ.

What if UnbelievaBoat says "This application is not authorized"?
