Hi friends,

I'm a long time ArcheAge player.

However, things were different in the Alpha, and back there I had the luxury of taking advantage of certain pre 1.2 acquired perks.

Now we are live and I am running into some financial problems.

Unfortunately, My real life only permits me to play a couple of hours a day, with the exception of maybe weekends. In that time, I also prefer to PvP as I am a big pvper (Arena 1v1).

I have recently secured a 16x16 and am growing Grape Trees on the East, I intend to use these for Jelly runs.

My question is simple:

What are effective, alternate modes of gold making that are pretty effective ?
I try to sell all the honor I make, but the market is quite slim . I'm also leveling LW< but people do not seem to have a high demand for the gear I make (Currently crafting illustrious).

Am I just stuck doing these trade pack runs ?

I'm looking for the most time-efficient gold making method.

Opinions/experiences welcome.

In my opinion. Get in a fishing raid and go fishing. Easy gold. In 2 hours I can make 150-200g without a fishing boat.

Recently I started renting out slots of my buddies fishing boat and I'm pulling closer to 400g in 2 hours.

While I do this I advertise I'm buying certain cash shop items a little below ah prices, I buy them when I turn in fish and resell them a few hours later for a little more then I paid. Turned a purchase of 800g in cash shop items into 1050g in a few hours while still fishing

Yeah fishing is amazing.

I was a huge fisher on Alpha (90k). But, back in my day we could make bundles from the get-go so worms were easy. Now it seems that we need to get to 15k Gathering before bundles, and THEN leveling fishing.

I'm currently working on the gathering aspect of it =)

-Cheers

You don't need any bait worms for it at all. You can catch smalls straight from the get go. Just takes a bit longer

yeah I know, but then you're investing lures.

I guess I am used to the Alpha ways, where we would bait fish to 30k before sports fishing.

How reliably can you catch smalls with 0 prof ?

Very reliably. Just takes longer.

The investment is near nothing that low. 20g will get your rod and over 100 lures on my server. 100 lures will land you around 70 fish ill say just guesstimating.

That's 420-700g right there

Which fish are we Talking. Are we Including chum? Please humour me. I'd like to do this tonight

Could you explain fishing step by step? What do i need, where do i go, what can i fish etc?

Google guys. And in fishing raids until you get goin you can leech on other people's chum

I'm curious if our server has these.

My server (ezi) feels like it's in the dark ages when it comes to this kind of stuff haha.
