The Albion Market Data Client
A tiny desktop app that does double duty: it keeps everyone's prices fresh, and it quietly builds your own market history. It runs entirely outside the game — listening only to the market data your PC already receives — so it's completely safe to run alongside Albion.
Runs outside the game
Passively reads market data your PC already receives. Sends nothing, changes nothing, automates nothing.
Your own market history
Signed in, it logs your trades, sales and gathering runs — private to you, in your Tools.
Fresher prices for everyone
Every price your game loads becomes a live price on AlbionMarket, across all servers.
Lightweight & in your control
A ~14 MB tray app. Start or stop anytime. Run anonymously, or sign in for your history.
How it works
Grab the Windows installer and run it. It sets up Npcap (network capture) if you don't already have it.
Optionally sign in with Discord to unlock your personal history, then play Albion and browse the market like you normally would.
Community prices stay fresh automatically, and your own trades, sales and gathering runs show up in your Tools.
How it actually works
The technical version
While you play, Albion's servers continuously send your game the market data it needs — prices, buy and sell orders, history — as network packets delivered to your PC. The client uses a standard network-capture driver (Npcap) to read a copy of those packets as they arrive at your network adapter. That's all it does: it reads data that's already on its way to you. It never sends anything back, never connects to Albion's servers, and never touches the game itself — so there's nothing for the game to notice or be affected by.
The simple version
Picture Albion's servers as a warehouse and your game as the shop down the road. The market data rides over as trucks — the network packets — driving from the warehouse to the shop. Our client is just a toll booth those trucks pass on the way: as each one rolls by, the booth reads the label on its side and waves it straight through. It never stops a truck, opens the cargo, changes anything, or sends one back. The delivery arrives exactly as it always would — the booth has only jotted down the prices it watched drive past.
Windows may warn you — and that's normal
When you open the downloaded installer, Windows SmartScreen shows a blue warning that the app is from an unknown publisher — because it isn't signed with a paid certificate yet. It's completely safe. Here's how to run it:
On the blue "Windows protected your PC" screen, click "More info".
Then click "Run anyway" to start the installer.
