What to buy for 1 7 Patch Tommorrow

So everyone knows that tommorrow is patch day and we will be having a new release that gets us up to 1.7 patch. This adds new house upgrades, obsidian armor, ship upgrades and changes to the way fredrich works and the amount of labor restored while offline for patrons. The enchanting system gets rehauled as well.

You might be a little lost with all these great changes so Im going to explain about what items we might see a major increase of in tommorrows future.

Charcoal and other pigment resources
Iron Ore
Gems of any type
Salvaged armor peices
Royal Jelly
Regrade items of any type
Copper Ore
Silver Ore
Black Pearls (crafting)
Yellow Coral
Orange Coral
White and blue coral
Moonlight Archeum
Sunlight Archeum
Starlight Archeum

Things not to hold onto:
Raw Stone or Stone Bricks
Labor Potions


With the new update tommorrow all of the charcoal and pigment resources will be increasing a lot and the reasoning behind it is the new crafting for armor the obsidian the changes to the handicrafting will be effected. All of the Archeum prices will likely increase and the reasoning behind that statement is they are changing all of the coin purses to drop more low ranking dust then high rank dust. So that means less crystals, essences and shards and more motes and dust. That will not garrenty that prices for archeum drop but demand is going to increase. Ship upgrades an components will also require charcoal and types of ore. The black pearls are for handicrafting and it will be easier to get to illustrious and higher crafting which will require all of the gems of all types and a black pearl to make prismatic pearls and corals are also used in handicrafting. Royal Jelly is needed for the submarines people have been selling them for 10-30g these will likely become more expensive then that especially since the demand is still high for honey with the new gold trader on fredrich.

The rehaul on the regrading system will make it easier to get higher ranks of regrading so charms will increase in value along with the new charm types they will be adding. Regrading related stuff will likely increase with the next patch.

The reason behind the statement that raw stone and stone bricks are not a good idea to hold onto is because of the change of mining nodes every one mined with drop raw stone instead of the way that it is now that stone is rare.

And labor potions will likely not increase in price because of the new patch to patrons which make it so that you restore 10 labor offline. Many people who have not wanted to keep characters online all night long will be getting the same labor for being offline. Demand of labor potions will likely decrease making them either stay at the 18g they have been or decrease even more.

Making Money Guide Archeage Patch 2 0

So if your like me you might be wondering with all the new updates what should I be doing to make money. The answer is actually pretty simple. And today Im gonna go over some of the hot new ways to make money that most people might have not realized.

One of the big new ways is crafting. If you havent already noticed material prices have increased by quite a large amount. We are talking about base mats such as leather, cloth, iron, stone. The reason for this comes down to the new guild related dailes. People need these dailies to level their guilds earn prestige points and farm for leadership. These people are often lazy and willing to spend large amounts of money buying simple things like fabric. A perfect example today on my server the quest for the donation in Austera was 100 fabric price of fabric was 1g 99 silver each. I was thinking theres no way anyone would actually buy it for that much just because of the event but sure enough I was able to sell a stack of them which is almost 200g. If you can find an armory you can speed craft the stuff and slowly sell some through out the day and make a fortune. Each day for each type of material.

Another great way to make money is farming coin purses in library. The radiant trees in auroria got nerfed its kinda not as good to farm them but floor 3 coin purses give really good gold for the labor ontop of that the weapons that drop like candy break down to crystals and sometimes essences much higher money from something like this.

Another really surprising place to farm which is worthy is sea bugs in the ocean or south of fredrich dahuta area because you can get ship bags off the monsters. While this doesnt make tons of money it does allow you to take the small 3 to 4g ship scrolls craft ship parts regrade them decently and turn them into a 400 to 800g profit easily. Rather then trying to sell them on the auction house figure that if you regrade some ezan cutter sails to unique you can make 600 to 1k gold depending on the going rate on your server. You can also do this buying ship comp scrolls but that is more of a gamble because if it doesnt sell youll kick yourself and you have to watch the prices.

Last worthy thing to do is running packs out of Hellswamp especially the new fertilizer pack. Why do you ask? Because even though fertilizer packs dont trade for gilda they are amazingly cheap to make in comparison to peanut packs and price wise they make around 20 charcoal per turn in which is an amazing amount for such an easy run from Hellswamp to Halcyona and out to Austera. If you can find one set to public you dont even need to own land in the area to use it. Meaning you can make packs with higher turnin rate then the crafter and fellowship.

Preparing for Archeage 2 5 patch for NA

We dont exactly know when the 2.5 patch for Archeage will be coming out to the US and the EU but theres a few key changes which will greatly effect the game as well as make some pocket money for us. I figured I would actually share some information rather then just keeping it to myself since lately money hasnt been the real problem for me.

One of the biggest changes is the change to sunken treasure. Right now aside from on many servers most of the hackers taking the chests or the fact that its a battle for any chests which you do manage to find with people trying to kill each other and such. They will be making changes that not only make the spawns random. That meaning instead of being able to use a map to plot spawn locations it will be all random which benefits the hackers more then the player base.  They will also be lowering the amount spawned. Which a good percentage of them right now spawn in locations which its not even possible for us to get anyway since a good portion of them are outside of boundary lines or just can be interacted with.

So I know what your thinking everything I said above sounds like its a bad thing. But lets think of this in terms of the making money. The ship regrading gets cheaper and on top of it they also increase the success of regarding for ship parts too. With less sunken treasure aka less ship component regrade scrolls since people are getting 4 per shipwreck that means the price of regrade scrolls is likely to go up. On the EU they are an average of 98 silver each and on NA usually around 1g 50 silver each. If they cut the spawn amount by half that would mean the whole server may only have a maximum of about 20 or less spawns per 12 hours. Thats been the main source of ship regrade scrolls on the server aside from luscas which also only happens once per day currently. So while we can only guess what the price might be I would say ship component regrade scrolls might go from 1g each to about 3-5g once again like they did before. So hording them will likely make some really good money for a person after the patch rolls in. As well as being able to get better regrade success over all.

Another change which might effect market prices is the lowering of radiant trees and braizers from coin purses. We dont know how much is "slightly reduced" but I would imagine it is enough that you wont be getting as many of them from coin purses.

And the last little bit which I have to add about it is the new accessories from library coinpurses and drops. While we dont exactly know whether these are actually worth a lot. We do know one thing that is rather expensive right now starlight archeum. So even if the new accessories which drop are crap they have to be better then the low level junk ones which have been dropping from all lvl 51 monsters. So this is actually a more valuable thing then the ship component regrades in terms of what to do after 2.5 hits.

But anyhow thats really the main highlights of 2.5 that I wanted to get out there for everyone. The big shipwreck salvaging isnt all that important because i seriously doubt we will be hunting for them if they dont fix the hacking which cant be fixed since cryengine is an open source graphics engine but oh well.
