Albion Trading Guide

Albion Online guide how to make money on trading

For the most part, we're used to earning silver in Albion involving some sort of activity in one game mechanic or another, whether it's killing mobs or players, gathering resources, or crafting items.

However, there are ways to make money that don't even require you to leave town.

Today we are going to talk about trading - a method that allows you to make silver with silver, without having to pump any skills.

We will tell you about a particular base from which you can start your journey as a real trader in Albion.

The easiest way to get Silver Albion online.

On our website you can buy Silver Albion online within 7 minutes, just follow the link or write to the operator.

Resale

In order to trade effectively, you need two things:

The first is at least a few million silver.

The second is a premium account, as it reduces the tax percentage in the auction, making trading more profitable. Without premium you can also trade, but the process will be much slower.

We start with reselling - a method that allows you to earn your first pennies without leaving the auction.

The essence is very simple: we create orders to buy various goods at one price and sell them at another, higher price.

We earn silver on the difference.

The main thing is to follow a few rules: the item must be marketable, so that its purchase will bring you profit in the near future and you can realise it.

We advise you to pay attention to the sales schedule of the item you choose.

If you do not have a lot of silver, do not buy too expensive items - your job is to quickly exchange the item for silver.

Low level items for farming, tool and gathering sets, faction cloaks, low level maunts, etc. are not bad to buy and sell.

The difference between buying and selling should be at least 12%, as we pay 2.5% to buy an item, another 2.5% to sell an item, plus 4% to sell it. So the bigger the spread between buy and sell orders, the better.

It is also important to cover as many different markets as possible.

It is not a good idea to only trade in one town.

The more positions we choose, the more silver turnover we will have. But of course, with a small amount of silver you will not be able to accelerate much in the beginning. However, gradually you will need to expand if you want to earn more.

By following all these simple rules, you will increase your capital over time and become more familiar with the goods you buy, their value and how quickly they sell. This will allow you to trade more and faster.

Trade between towns

While we're selling and waiting for sales and purchases, we can start trading between towns. To do this you will need more capital and preferably a cargo mount, at least a T7 Bull or better still an Elite Polar Bear.

The first thing to look at is the resources or materials that are already available.

In towns there are bonuses for making various items that require resources.

We can buy them in towns with a bonus to recycle them and sell them in other towns with a bonus to craft items that use the same resource to create.

For example, in Martlok there is a bonus for making axes, which require wood and bars. A T6 beam costs 4200 and an ingot 4900.

The same resources in profile towns cost 15-20% less to craft, even if you buy them directly rather than through a purchase order.

These figures increase even more if you keep an eye on the daily crafting bonus.

It's updated every day after maintenance.

We will look at the bonuses in towns that have a bonus for producing this item, and the resources needed to make it.

Buy the necessary materials in the profile town and make a profit. You will need to act quickly, however, as not everyone is as clever as you.

And if you have an impressive capital, you can buy finished resources on days with a bonus for crafting the same resource, and sell them later in the day with a 20% crafting bonus for items that use the same resource.

In addition to resources, you can also trade finished items, creating orders to buy and sell them not in this town, but at least in a neighbouring town.

Agricultural products are also a good option for transport:

Turnips, for example, cost 280 in Fort and 380 in Bridge. That's a difference of almost 25%.

However, you'll need a mammoth or at least a T8 bear to trade these goods. Again, prices will go up at the time of the food crafting bonus.

Trading in Bresilion

Another interesting place to trade is Bresilion, a city in the darkness.

Due to the tricky logistics, many items there are either too cheap to buy, such as raw materials, or too expensive, such as herbs for alchemy, meat, eggs, milk and some combat items.

Bresilion also has quite a lot of traffic for buying and selling items, which is great for reselling.

Trading in Caerleon

But perhaps the most profitable trade always involves risk. We're not talking about futures, we're talking about Caerleon. This city lies in the centre of the Red Lands.

This town has a black market - a tool that allows you to sell created equipment not to players, but to a special NPC that generates loot in-game. In other words, anything that falls from mobs or chests is created by players and sold to the black market, giving the game an excellent output of created items and a stable economy.

In addition to selling items on the black market, Carleon also has a variety of resources that are valuable, ranging from finished materials in the form of bars, cloth, leather and so on, to agricultural products, as Carleon has a food production bonus.

The Black Market and Carleon Market attract many traders who are willing to cross the red locations for a profit, despite the risk of being caught by a herd of gankers.

Safe route to Carleon

To secure your journey and increase your chances of success, there are several ways to get to Carleon alive.

If you have trusted friends, you can form a pack that can stand up to the gankers and protect your caravan.

Or you can go to transport the cargo during the attack of gankers together with the faction raid. This way you reach the location near Carleon and then separate from the raid. This route is used by many carriers.

Of course, you can go on a whim or find a suitable route through Avalon. However, in our opinion, the above methods are much more prudent.

Discord Trading

The wealthiest merchants sell through the Discord trade channels, bypassing the auction tax.

Rather than selling cheap items such as grenades, battlemounts, mammoths, and various expensive equipment for the same HCE or MGLA, they sell huge quantities of resources and materials in bulk.

Merchants with a keen eye know the value of goods and can use this knowledge to make good money reselling on Discord. But be careful, scammers have never been banned. 

Conclusion

To sum up, trading is a great way to make money, but it is quite specific, as not every player will want to deal with the monotonous updating of orders, constant counting and long transports between towns.

In the game, you should choose the way of earning silver that suits you, so that you get not only profit, but also positive emotions from the process. The choice is yours.
