Albion Online - How to Make Silver Passively
In the vast world of gaming, finding a consistent and lucrative source of income is essential for advancing and fully enjoying all aspects of the game. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by purchasing and managing an Island. In this guide, I'll walk you through the steps to turn your Island into a money-making machine, maximizing every available resource.
Step 1: Acquire Premium Status
The first crucial step is to acquire premium status in the game. You need to have purchased premium for at least 30 days. This not only gives you access to additional benefits but is also a requirement for buying an Island. Premium status can be easily obtained by farming in dungeons to accumulate the necessary funds.
Step 2: Purchasing the Island
Once you have premium status, the next step is to buy an Island. The cost of a level 6 Island is 6.5KK (6500 silver). Islands can be purchased in any city, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred location. It’s important to note that you can only have one Island per character.
An interesting fact is that once you buy the Island, you don't need to maintain premium status to keep access to it. This means you can continue using and managing your Island even after the premium expires.
Step 3: Building Infrastructure
With your Island acquired, it's time to start building. You need to construct houses and one of the four types of buildings: farm, garden, pasture, or nursery. The choice of building will depend on your specific needs and the resources you wish to focus on.
- House Construction: Aim to build tier 8 houses to maximize efficiency, although it’s advisable to practice with tier 6 or above houses to get familiar with the building process.
- Furnishing the Houses: Inside the houses, place furniture like tables and beds, as well as artifacts that boost worker morale.
Step 4: Managing Workers
To maximize the benefits of your Island, you’ll need to hire and manage workers. Workers are essential as they produce resources that can be sold or used for crafting.
- Worker Selection: Focus on employing Mages, Hunters, Blacksmiths, and Locksmiths. These workers are highly efficient because the resources they require are frequently used in crafting.
- Purchase and Placement: Buy these workers from the market and place them in the appropriately furnished houses.
Step 5: Increasing Worker Efficiency
To ensure your workers are as productive as possible, you must maintain high morale and optimize their working environment.
- Morale and Furniture: Worker morale is increased with furniture and artifacts. Ensure each house is equipped with these essential items.
- Journal Management: Give your workers journals that are one tier below their level. For example, if you have a level 8 worker, give them a level 7 journal. This strategy increases the number of resources obtained. A level 8 worker with a level 7 journal can yield 7 resources compared to the 5 resources they would yield with a level 8 journal.
Step 6: Maximizing Profits
Once your workers are well-managed, you can start seeing the benefits.
- Completed Journals: Provide workers with completed journals. After a day, they will return empty journals along with valuable resources. Generally, these resources are more valuable than the journals themselves.
- Optimal Resource Collection: The higher number of resources obtained (7 from a level 7 journal versus 5 from a level 8 journal) increases your chances of obtaining enchanted resources, which are more valuable.
- Continuous Production: Maintain a steady supply of completed journals and ensure your workers’ morale remains high to ensure maximum productivity and a constant flow of income.
