Back in the day when premium was 8 million silver a Russian player farmed stalker corrupted dungeons for 3 days of play time and had enough silver to pay for 12 months of premium using a claymore build. I've never seen anyone manually farm silver faster than him that didn't involve flipping and api applications involving the black market. My favorite newbie method for silver is gather only T2 in a high yield blue zone (Not available yet on East) then transport to Caerleon during bandit event and sell them there.

FINALLY! someone giving the real SILVER/HOUR not like OTHER 99.9999% misleading youtubers showing ESTIMATED VALUE BAG FROM the best 1 hours off lucky hours. thank you for making fact content McGee!

What i learned is to get my ass to the red and black zones... Imma do some real playing

So I recently started a new account for kicks. My experience was as follows: - Started by doing the tutorial, bought a few mules for a head start in the tutorial but otherwise no outside resources from a guild/main account. Farmed everything to T3 while doing tutorials and then unlocked all T4 weapons by farming solo dungeons. - Once I finished, I moved to the city and bought full T4.1-T4.2 with my weapon of choice (I was using Arcane staff, so my clearing speed was pretty average) and farmed my preferred gathering skill (skinning) to T5 while doing dailies and enchanted solo dungeons. Dailies (Arena, Faction, Expedition, etc.) aren't huge cash in themselves, but a nice fame injection with a decent amount of money for a new player. - Once I made enough money to afford ~10 4.1 sets, I began farming open world mobs and the mists and banked my loot every ~250k or so. Sought out friendly in mists and played ballsy as fuck in the mists to scare scrubs off chests and wisps in the mists. The might points I got from this were a huge injection of fame and silver. At this point as well, I started participating in Bandits with a low-risk build that can contribute a bit. Nature is probably optimal for this, but I use witchwork. I was making ~1m per bandit between looting and faction points when I didn't die. ~400k when I did. Also did some corrupted dungeons here. - At this point, over a couple weeks of fairly casual play, my account net worth is about 10 mill with a passable amount of pvp fame, and nearly maxed spec in my set of choice. That's enough that you can afford a nice set for any safe activities you do, and enough that running out to the BZ with 4.1-6.1 sets isnt crippling, so you can start playing the game.

I'm new, and I have a few questions about the game; 1. How often does the game update? 2. How good are albion updates? Do devs listen to community feedback? 3. When can we expect the update talked about in the video by Albion titled, "2023 Development Update" 4. Can you really play Albion however you like, as they advertise it? Because it seems like if you're just a casual player, and do not follow meta builds, do not do the most efficient way of doing things (even sometimes using external programs or spreadsheets), then not only you would not profit, but lose money as well...

Thank you for the content, i've watched so many guides of this game and some were sometimes helpful, but yours are always helpful and interesting.

Just if any new player reads this do like 1 hour of gathering a day and ur spec will go up ( if you like it do more then 1 hour ) I make on average 2.5m an hour best I've gotten was 7m hit a ton of .2s and .3 enchants. Gathering is super slow but well worth the time investment

Cool video with realistic numbers. KZfaq is so full with video's that claim strats that say : "Do this and you'll make 1.2 million an hour!" In an ideal world. Lets say an empty test server with like enchanted tier 8 gear they might get that if they really go all out, but that is just completely unrealistic for new players.

as always, your videos are always fun to watch. Honestly i would absolutely love to see zero to hero videos again though.

honestly gathering starts bad, but within a few days becomes more than any other activity you can do outside of soloing bosses in bz statics or zvz ratting

New player here. Been playing almost 2 weeks. Just my 2 cents. Really liked safe corrupted dungeon at first so did it in the red zone. I consistently make 750-1mil an hour in 4.1 gear there now and have never died in it. It feels like no one does stalker level or my matchmaking is too low still. I clear around 6-8ish dungeons an hour with a curse build.

For a chill gameplay I would recommend YZ PvE plus lots of faction warfare. All in safe zone until you feel safe with silver.

Thank you for making this video, I thought I was just doing terribly at the game because everyone talks about how you should be making millions of silver in their first day and I just didn't see that at all.

I played for a couple of days and was mainly gathering ores as a miner, does suck at the start but once you get to T6 gear then the money's good, made 1 mil+ in a t6 BZ in around an hour.

FACTION WARFARE 24/7 BABYYY Pls help.. :,)

Mists yellow zone fishing (if done fully optimally + premium) youre looking at about 400k-1 mil hour based on spec and efficiency. Red zone fishing in tier 7 zone can easily crack 1 mil and actually has very high potential based on eel rng. Could even go over 2 mil. Ava roads tier 7-8 zone fishing depends on how fast you can find a good zone but fairly consistantly can push 1.5 mil at the higher end. Leveling fishing doesn't take as long as you think if you commit all LP to it. I recommend new players buy 5 dollar starter pack and easily blast it in a week. Don't do fishing laborers tho, they are a scam.

wait can you acutally make 400 k an hoyur open world fame farming? i understand most money comes from raw silver drops but tats actually still insane yo

You can't even compare corrupted dungeons with blackzone open world farm. With Tier 6 gear i can make close to a mil on open world while only 150-200k on corrupted per hour. Not to mention the fame gain that's multiple times higher on blackzones!

Love your videos bro, I learned so much about this game because you spend tons of your time to give us summary of calculation, I really Wana thank you for that. God bless men

if you use higher tier Gathering gear and tools you'll make more per hour for practically no risk I make a million an hour off of tier 4 materials when I want to do something safe using tier 8 Gathering gear it's not as expensive as people think it is I can pay it off within 3 hours and all you need to get started with is the Gathering tool which is like 100k to 200k and that makes the biggest difference recommend a wild boar or an elite wild boar it's a good balance between carrying capacity and speed and you don't always have to be mounted like an ox or a bear Pork Pies help out too when you get your tier 4 Gathering to 40 with tier 8 Gathering gear and a pork pie you have 100% bonus rate so you'll get twice as much resources for Harvest and as your skill gets higher you can have the bonus proc again so you can get three times as much resources with an excellent quality Elite wild boar with a pork pie I have almost 4,000 carry capacity with a tier 8 bag also I faction flag when I do it too so I get faction points for Gathering I'm not counting the faction points in my total but that's about an extra 200k sometimes

You can get a full set of 4.1 for about 1 - 2 hours from killing T4/ T5 mobs + >10k from expedition so you can start to do T6 or higher tier dungeons I recommend T4.1 nature staff build bc it's easy: Mage Cowl ; Mercenary Jacket ; Soldier Boots ; Adept's Cape/Thetford Cape ; Torch (Off-hand)

the best way to get premium is to get a job and you can get premium in just 2 hours of working irl and if youre on the lowest of lows, you can get premium in just 2 days with your irl work. Its still much better than wasting hundred of hours just to make the premium and to grind again to make your money back. youll be a grind slave if that happens, youll about to burn 100+ hours meanwhile you can just get it in less than 2 hours with irl job. IMO getting a job irl is much easier than having no premium and get the premium with just grind.

Great video, thanks for posting the est $/hr on the clips plus a summary at the end!

Through Bandit Assault or even normal yellow zone faction warfare, it's easy to get a foot into a faction focused guild. Go red zone fast capping with a guild and you'll get around ~1-2 m silver per hour depending on if you trade faction points for crests or chests. Always recomend going for chests tho as they give a lot of fame

Surprised you didnt mention fishing in the yellow zone mists, not that hard for new players to catch t5 fish

Finally an updated guide! Just started playing few days ago, have to say that making silver is really difficult, I thought gathering was effective but based on your stats it wasn't, I guess I have to solo dungeons on yellow and blue zones and also corrupted ones.

i calculated today i played 236 hours and i have 34 mil on my hands right now plus 25 mil in skin and gold so without the gold and skin that i got for doing nothing i made 140K Per Hour on all of those hours but if id count in idling alot or times doing nothing id say im in the 200K -300K range also i dont know how much silver i lost in lost gear so that would prob also be like 5-10 mil in lost gear and inventory

bro which one do you recommend, rz or bz fame farm?

Thanks for the information gathered, by the way are hardcore expeditions not profitable anymore or too hard to do for newbie? Please do a guide on HCE because all the HCE guide is quite outdated and i appreciate your videos as always!

What about blackmarket and heart transport ? I've been suggested those a whole lot recently as a returned player from the beta

Thanks for the video

Do a high-end version for veteran players please. thank you. great vid

Sorry to bother but i think that estimated gathering numbers are a little bit higher. Especially if you go skinning/fiber collecting. And there is fishing which gave me up to 400-500k per hour with fresh premium in yellow mists and t6 set and ava rod

Finally! A solution for my problem. The bandit assault!

Still my favourite Albion youtuber. Impecable video, ty for the upload❤

Big Lips McGee doesnt stream? officialy the best youtuber of AO

I have 2 weeks playtime and 75m in silver. But tbf I was also in scelti when I first started playing the game and we hit crystal league twice so I ended up selling those two mounts as I don't see a point to keeping them as a solo player now

love the stats.. btw, this clips are done in west right? coz, im pretty confident to confirm that this is not the case for east (maybe someday, this will work for east too when the economy is stable and more items are produceed). I've been doing some of this activities in west, and yea, the numbers McGee said is about accurate. anyways, i would like to add the stalker corrupted dungeons, its like the hunter but more loot (only pve, no invasion nor defense from invaders)..

Hi, Biglips. What do you mean by solo high end dungeons? is it buying tier 7-8 solo dungeon scrolls in bz?

Or you find an erie egg and make 45m+ in 2 mins like I did haha, nice video!

Do a video about slayer corrupteds even new players can afford a build for that and it can make really high profits. I do it all the time and my average per hour is about 2.5m with a fast clear set 8.0

Their greed of gold sale and nerfing everything around, holding hands on high gold price, increasing premium cost, make pve so easy by elite mobs and mini boses just to trick people with easy access to 100 specs for maybe some of them gold buy if they want grind for 120, nerfing crafting several times to make prices in market like +200% and still not earning anything because of taxes increase. Albion online was perfect example of how from good game make a shit game by broken updates and changes and all this in the name of greed

Honest so i subscribed, not like others method said how much silver but only 2-3m in their total after those hour lol

How about Faction Warfare?

Open World in Red Zones it's a good content, nice fame and nice loots! 3 - 10k fame per mobs.

Nice video and well put

Cool video, I'm at work so i had a fast run through, i'll be watching it later. I just want to say that while some methods might be faster, others scales better, like gathering shouldn't be compared with ava, open world and dungeons. Sure all the methods are meant to make a profit, but if u think you will ever care about the gathering, at least put some focus in it, otherwise you'll find yourself gathering t3 resources on a 1000 hours account ahaha This is just my suggestion :)

Imma spill some bonkers way to make money with literal 0 risks and noob friendly. Yz faction warfare. Just pick up any good aoe or tagging skills you like with the lowest item values so your repair bill is dirt cheap. Just remember to pass 700ip min. The key is the less of your faction players participate the more points you generates. And you could gather uncommon stuff you find along the way for extra money. The east is perfect for this because no 8.4 bois running around soloing stuff yet.

Since daybreaker is buff... Can you make a vid of it.

WEEEEEEEEWOOOOOOOOOOO. I guess you do read the comments! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT'S WHAT WE NEED IN SEA

i doubt you could make 300k hunter corrupted. For new player it will take at least 10 minutes per dungeon, so it is 200k per hour on average. If you is a new player then subtract 30%-50% from all the profits in video. The best way for a new player i guess is open world in BZ with 4.1 cheap build. You will get money AND lots fame. Fame is much more important and you can not lose it if you die.

Try to do it in the east server since the economy is nuts atm

What about the faction heart transport?

Fishing get me 235K an hour with a T4 Fishing Road

Upside to avalonian roads is the fame, it's insane.

great video. little note here about gathering, speaking from experience, at the start it doesn't give you lot's of money but, once you get to T5 and T6 you can get around 300-400 k silver/hour in red zone (T6) with gathering gear and pork pie.

but wheres group dungeon? :o

Gathering as a beginner being 100k/hour is about right. It highly depends on where you choose to stay, what resource you gather, if you bought an initial premium with irl money because prem is basically required for gathering, what tier you're at, which area you're gathering in, what time it was when you were gathering (competition), and if you decide to refine it. Gathering resources 1 tier higher than your current is usually counter intuitive because it takes more time so you're actually making less money. Since the marketplace is tied to the city and not the world, where you sell it also plays a factor. Some cities pay more for a resource than another. Then there's another step which is transporting the raw materials to a city with the refining bonus and refining it there. And yet another step because transporting the refined goods out of that city can also increase profit. In the east I hard grinded t4 to t5 quarrying in one sitting in 2 hours in mardale (red zone with abundant resource and high rarity distribution), 4 pork pies, premium, and t4 gathering gear (4 pork pies is about 35k silver, and the gathering gear all in all was about 8k). I grinded t4 stone exclusively and ended up with 2685 normals, 314 greens, and 41 blues which in my inventory estimate was only 100k. It took about ~8 mins to get it to bridgewatch (city bonus for stone) though I haven't refined it yet since my t3 blocks were sitting in another city but it would be around ~280k if I sold it in bridgewatch including the silver costs but if I were to transport it to the neighboring cities it would be around 340k. Now I also grinded wood but the thing is at this time wood is 50% more valuable than rock so doing the same thing with t4 wood I would get ~440k in 2 hours (generous estimate). That is to say thats for t4, higher spec and higher tiers as well as better knowledge of the market exponentially increases profit so imo gathering is only viable if you can pay for premium with irl money initially so you can grind out levels because honestly speaking I wouldn't touch gathering without premium on because the grind would be too much of a slog.

Man, it's so much tougher to earn silver as a new player in West. It's so much easier in East even now

So 60 - 100 hours of gameplay for premium , the duck, i feel sorry for new players

"Kekkekekeke. Hey new player buy expensive gear and go to the black zone. You'll make 400k. Source? I don't need a source, just trust me bro"

EAST SERVER ESTIMATES Hey im a new gatherer player and just to say you make either 150k per hour (when on t4 which you will be for quite a while) but this doesn't include the money you can be making from selling items you sell at the normal market or at the black market so its around 200k~250k for an hour of gathering (don't gather t5 stuff with t4) and around a million if you fill out your t4 ox and then you will get a bit less of a profit becouse crafting is crafting but not too much of a loss its around 200k if you have a million so it eats around 20% of the profit(if in a guild that doesn't tax the crafting places and puts in food regularly this is negated),i think a good average to put is around 250k if you sell to carleon everything you have made but also keep in mind you can have 500k at one point and then 5 the next wow someone read this here is a cookie as a reward 🍪

sheeesh making that dough nice express vpn sponsership, i bought 10

Fishing?

No one see the juicy clump at 10:05?

230 hours I made over 80million in safe zone

gathering brings more money 100k you get on beginer island

These are great for new players. Once you have around 2-3m silver, you might want to switch to focus alts. That's where the real money is.

At least someone said it it’s hard af and unrealistic

dont wanna be that guy but I am first, also epic video

Ngork!!!

IMO it's rat in corrupted , i earn about 1M per 30min , it's ridiculous

yeap, its too hard.

I just started playing, like a week ago, I come from a WOW background, so this game has some issues for me, 1st is the look down view, I’m trying to get use to it but I find it harder on the eyes, 2nd is the economy/market, it takes currently 7200 silver for 1 gold, that is outrageous, considering that new players will take forever to get 7200 silver, to start with, the market prices are an absolute joke, prices are so outrageous for some items that basic players will NEVER be able to purchase these items, 4th, this is a non level based game, so you put points in gear, the skill tree is an absolute joke, who cares about how many point you have in your shoes?

🕵‍♀

LMAO new players will never get premium

45 hours to make 10 dollars, that's some shitty hourly pay.
