1. Crafting/recruiting chance per hour is pretty straight foward, the more people are inside a fief the lower the % will fall and the other way around.
2. Prosperity, don't mind about this one, if your not owning a fief, then this is not for u to bother about.
3. Visiting fee, is the per hour gold rent your paying inside a fief.
4. Sell tax%, what will be given to the fief from your trade goods sales.
4b. Also your trade good profits depend totally on the fiefs "Good price", taxes and the distance bonus% u sold them from.
5. Crates don't always update on the strat char, depending on what u are doing, try exit and re-enter to fief and it should be updated.
