Ive been telling people for ever this man is untouched in terms of tips and guides.. i mean look at all this gold hes giving yall.Straight up Knowledge god.
I'd like to add one note about solo dungeons for new players that veteran players seem to forget because they are in fact veterans. IF YOU ARE BRAND NEW TO ALBION, do go and do a fair amount of solo dungeons once you finish the tutorial area. I believe solo dungeons main purpose now in Albion is to teach players the basic mechanics of PvE in Albion in a safe environment that allows you to fail and try again without being punished. I know that when I first started Albion, it took me some time to learn how to move my character around to easily avoid AoE attacks, how to mechanics etc. Solo dungeons really help new players learn these mechanics so they are better prepared for the open world PvE which will inevitably involve PvP. Just don't get stuck doing them as your main content, because as Big Lips said, they are simply the worst form of silver and fame generation in the game. Use them as a learning tool to get the basics of PvE down in Albion and then move on from them once you feel comfortable PvEing in Albion.
Couldn't agree more. I started today, I keep changing weapons to see what I like and those solo dungeons are awesome. I keep messing up my combos because I keep switching stuff, I get to test combos, and just get a great feel for combat. It's like a training ground that gives me EXP and money.
Random Tips for the Black Zone: 1. Learn when it is most dangerous: This means read the timers for the black zone, each zone has a timer of oppertunity at the top of it that tells you when player owned assets in the zone can be vulnerable, territories and hideouts. When this window is up DO NOT get lax in those zones, ESPECIALLY the start. That's when you may see huge zergs running around or players that are related to those assets will be extra trigger happy. That said if you see a large zerg and you are not running around in full 8.3 chances are they won't bother you too much as they are going to be travelling to objectives...but this comes down to who is leading them. Also when outposts/castles are up (Chests will be seen on the world map) stay away from those objects or near pathways around those zones, people there are much more likely to attack you. unless the object is literally about to open. 2. Learn to reset your presence: If you are trying to avoid PvP or you just killed someone and alerted everyone to you, understand what it means to reset your presence in a zone. Get out of there, goto a road, enter a dungeon and hide out for a while. Make people lose track of you. It can be frightening when people smell someone in a zone that has a loot of stuff on them such as clocking you at a 8.3 node or seeing you kill someone and they suddenly summon an army to get you. Once you've disappeared from the map long enough such as through a solo/corrupted dungeon jump or on the Ava roads, you can re-enter the map and resume your activities with a clean slate. 3. Watch your carry weight: This should be learned before you even go in the black zone but it is staggering how often people will blindly loot shit without checking their carry weight which disables recalling and slows you down immensely. 4. Judge intent: Read what players are doing and what it means to you. If you see someone in the inner ring standing around a zone exit and is in cheap gear or is carrying a high CC weapon regardless of tier, they could be a scout for a bigger group past them, you might want to hold off going into the zone behind them. If you suddenly get chased and they are not stopping despite having similar mount speeds it is more than likely that they are keeping track of you for their friends, you should try to veer unpredictably and jump into a corrupted dungeon or otherwise zone out. If someone is fishing they likely won't bother you even if they spot you. An immensely large zerg moving could well be on their way to an objective and MAY not stop to try to get you if time is against them. Getting a feel for what people could be doing is a good way to keep yourself alive longer.
Honestly the best tutorial I saw in my life. Even I'm a old player of Albion still really enjoyed this video and already sent to some friends. Very good job, thanks for that
the economy depends on people pvping and gear being destroyed, i don't see why a solo player cant enjoy the blackzone if you max your specs you can always use 4.1 gear. there is just as much solo pve content as there is pvp content, the only difference is that pve loot is horrible, which again makes sense. Since PVP drives the economy.
Could I ask you a question? I play on 270 ping what would you recommend for me? I am thinking maybe axes or staffs, also battleaxe or greataxe? if neither greater nature staff? I am looking to try to max on of these outs@@rickycox8562
This is actually a garbage take because you are partly right but without PvE players, the pvp people wouldn't have anything to buy or sell or stimulate the economy, because there would be no economy @rickycox8562
Instead of choosing a random gathering skill for silver... chose one if your build requires one of the gathering gear. For example I main hellfire hands. In order to land my e efficiently since it has a .95 second cast time so it's normally easy to dodge. I chose to focus gathering fiber so I can use the gathering helment for the sleep ability to make my build viable. So even when gathering my pvp build also gets stronger.
New player here. Been going through guides and yours by far is right at the top of what fits my needs. Just a good explanation of fundamentals without telling me to WEAR THIS or WEAR THAT. Thanks a lot!
nice video explaining basicly everything ! my little tip for solo dungeons 90 seconds is to press log out when u enter the dungeon so u got yourself timer.
Well done great video helped me understand the game with only doing the tutorial I picked the perfect time to start I'm going on the beta for Europe Thanks again ❤
I'm new to the game and this video does help. I used to play Everquest way back when it first came out and was heavy into the RP until Sony killed it and have been looking for a similar game since. I do hope Albion will come somewhat close to my experiences from back then. I'm too new to have definitive opinion yet.
As i play more Albion the more i realise u are one of the few legit and honest Albion yt for new plyrs. Keep up the good work and kindly pls upload more frequently. Watching u for years made me attached to this channel, so ur more kind of a family to me. So sometimes it really scares me that if u have quite the channel. I live in a 3rd world country thus international transactions have many requirements which i haven't acquired yet, so i couldn't sub. Sorry for that.
on the note for opening Buy and Sell Orders.. Use Loadouts to check prices -- saves you 10x more time over the playable times. I like to set to one for each of the -Crafted Mats- flat .1-.4 -- Based on the Highest payouts for the day is what i am focusing on w/ gathering. 2nd tip for the love of god use Laborers in EVERYTHING you do. -- free money.
Great video! I play Albion for not even a full month now and I already set target before I go red zone. My goal is to be able to recraft my T5 gear so if I die in red I just go to my island and recraft gear and come back to red. :-) I like your advices, I may practice some PVP with warfare. Thanks for explaining how and where there is knockdown and where I definitely die and lose gear. It wasnt very clear to me and your video explained it the best! :-)
started Albion with a lot of friends. now I have to relearn the game as a solo player because I relied too heavily on the content me and my friends liked to do together. now that they're gone, I'm just going around royals, meticulously looking for the lowest ingredients, lowest priced chef plot and then finally selling the finished product for dirt cheap. and repeating it until I can't do it anymore and finally getting to terms of dropping the game once and for all. am even going as far as searching for them "duel me for 1m" scammers and intentionally going out of bounds. (had this one dude who tried to trade the money back to me but I just pressed alt+f4.). I tried joining guilds and participating in zvz but it just does not feel right being surrounded by people who take the game too seriously.
Honestly the best advice is to get into a guild with veteran player who show you the game. Don't be a zvz slave but engage in all parts of content. As for building your economy, I cannot recommend Personal Islands, in fact I demolished every labourer house on my guild islands. Some people enjoy gathering (it takes like 10 hours of gathering time to reach t8 and good money) - cannot recommend it rly Start by transporting items t4 4.1 5.0 5.1 to the caerleon black market, lookup item prices on the normal market and the black market on websites. You can easily get premium in a week just by doing that every day for 20minutes. Once you have like 10million + try to get into crafting 1 item, get good specs when you can afford to craft 8.3 etc you are basically rich by using your Fokus :)
I found gathering to widely vary based on what zone/maps you start in. I recently started a new character on EU launch and made roughly 1 million per/day gathering and killing mobs in open-world out of Lymhurst with Wood and Hide as my two gathering trees. I since joined a guild in Martlock and my income tanked hard because their zones are much more barren. A lot of those maps are open space where as the Lymhurst areas are very dense for resource gathering for some reason. I don't know why this is, or if it is even intentional but it was very apparent after switching faction cities as my base of operations that Martlock area maps have a lot more open space and less resource density to stay in one small part of a tile and farm. In Lymhurst I could easily find areas where there would be 5-10 nodes around and I would make a small circle collecting them all quickly around 1-2 rarer .1-.3 nodes. Spot on regarding Hide even this many months later. Rarer hide spawns are very lucrative.
When i first started albion i thought Martlock areas and even Fort Sterling areas are pretty barren too. But i'm now a tier 8 gatherer, gathering all over across the albion continent for all resources except stones (they suck), and i'd have to say to you that this is false. Ores are super abundant in Martlock but the resource node areas aren't structured and place the same as say the logs and hide in like Lymhurst or Thetford. Just go explore and study the map further, i earn a million silver per hour consistently in Martlock now.
Tip: Premium fluctuates based on gold prices, so if you notice it's lower than usual (lower than 20 mil as of now) you can save some money by buying gold and either paying in gold or cashing in the gold when it's time to renew. Even if you don't need to it just makes money usually since the gold price goes from 4900-5300 and you can make some money from the increase
The best video about Albion which I saw. I am try to understand start this project or no. But I am a solo player with PvE focus. I really do not like PvP that much anymore... Just looking for place to disconnect myself with reality for couple hours.
I started playing a week ago and my issue is that the mobs in the higher tier areas kill me when I am trying to gather. I reached T4 gathering and decided to now focus on leveling my battle skills first so i can survive. But now i have run out of points😅
Questions: 1. What is a 'learning point'? 2. Is PvP mandatory, or optional? 3. What are zones? 4. What are factions? 5. What is 'fame'? 6. What is a 'faction flag'? 7. What does 'tier 8' mean? It is both confusing, and depressing, when modern game force players into imbalanced PvP environments. It was a thing in the 80s/90s, in the 'here and now' it seems to just be a crutch for lazy devs, and bait to attract whales. I think opt-in PvP is all well and good, or a PvP mode/region is fine too. Punishing new players for being new players, is engineered incompetence, at best. Rewarding sociopathic tendencies is never a good idea.
1. Learning points are used to instantly finish levels in skills. It can only be used if you have gained at least 20% fame in a skills. Obtained 10 once a day after playing for a while, while an additional 20 is also added automatically with premium. 2. There are PvP zones in the game, and it is the only way to get Tier 6, 7, 8 items in the game, other than buying from the market using your silver, so it is possible to completely avoid pvp while getting end game gear. 3. Zones are areas in the world map. Each zone is a square shaped area with different attributes, like the biome and type. Blue Zones are completely safe but only offer up to Tier 4, while Yellow Zones have some sort of PvP and tier 5 items, but you do not lose anything and you only get knocked out when attacked by a player. Red zones have tier 6 items and have full loot PvP, but you can check the map to see how much hostiles are in the area you are in, and only hostiles can attack people by changing their status from friendly. Black Zones are the most dangerous zones. Not only is everyone set as Hostile, there are Player Guilds who defend their territory. 4. There are two main types of factions. City Factions, and Player Guilds. City Factions are places where you can fight for a City, such as Martlock or Caerleon. You raid and conquer outposts to improve your standing with your chosen faction, and get lots of rewards. Player Guilds are self explanatory, but their main purpose is to be in Black Zones, claiming territories. 5. Fame is XP achieved by training your skills. 6. Faction Flagging is enlisting in a faction. You have a blue shield icon by your name by default in the top left of your screen, which means your Status is Friendly. It will turn into the emblem of the city faction if you have "flagged up" which is done by talking to the General of a city after you have enlisted in it. It can be removed by clicking on the icon of your faction on where the blue shield icon was. By clicking on your blue shield icon, you can also become a hostile. 7. Tier 8 is the highest tier of items available in the game.
New players don’t get punished wdym? YOU CHOOSE to go to an area where PvP is a thing and that you can lose everything… if you don’t want that you can just not go there but you won’t enjoy the game at all as most of the stuff is in the high level zones which I think is a good thing…
It takes mere minutes to Google all your questions within the context of Albion and get answers. Also if you just play the tutorial and game it will show you all of these.
All farming (crops) are profitable without focus. Profit is about 500k per hour. Using focus is a loss as the impact isn't big enough with current premium costs. focus can be profitable for mount crafting but have to have big investment to get average or just hit big by getting a baby back for rare mounts or double babies for ox/horses
Is there anyway you'd consider making a mid-game video? Gotten back into Albion recently and I would like to think I'd be considered "midgame", don't have t8 gear unlocked yet cause I switched my build several times but the only fame farm worth its time that is viable at the moment is open world mobs in red zones. I have t8 reaver but black zones will kill me ez cause of my low spec and IP. I guess some recommendations for good lower IP fame and silver grinds would be nice. Been a recent watcher and subscriber so keep up the good work!
I figure theres 2 ways to do it really, get a fame farm set where u can solo statics, dont turn on auto respec, u will lose money and use that and gathering in safe areas or u join a guild and venture the black zone and risk it all, u can actually do both but i stick to safe and only roam mosts really, unless im with my guild 90% of the time
Let me guess, soloing static? Only playing 1-2 hours a day yet maxed 4 weapons Spec to 100 in just a month + 3 months premium sounds kinda impossible from mists/sdg/cdg
@@DestinationX85 30 days, 2 hours each, is 60 hours. I make about 700-800k an hour in bz mists on a cheap set without touching abbey, if you get kills or go for abbey it's likely possible to earn more money than that. The 3 months premium part is believable. 4 complete sets (weapon, helmet, chest, shoes) in 60 hours would be rough/impossible, but if you were efficient with it there might be a possibility that after completing one set, he just funneled fame credits at the weapons and didn't raise additional armor. Quite the feat of efficiency, but on the edge of what's technically possible.
@@BigLipsMcGee hello I mainly focus on doing open world bz and rz, then some solo dungeon t7 only. You have to play at the right time because if you play at peak times, you get less stuff and less fame. And nope i have not done the solo static thing since, too much divers
@@Breadman-k6d I started out a few days ago and personally found the video extremely useful. I think if you put at least the time to discover the very basics of the game via its tutorial the video should be understandable. I've already tried most of the stuff you can do in yellow zones and was wondering what to aim next and why/how should I set foot into red and black zones and now everything makes sense.
As a new player I almost quitted after losing all my expensive gear twice on the red zone, just after I found out I should wear crap gear or tier 8 while being part of a group...
For solo mobile players I recommend transporting hearts, trust me it's decently good bucks.. You won't have to worry much about freezing if you're playing it very safe It's very predictable on what enemies you'll encounter, you have to play it safe by checking the map beforehand and during transporting, what you'll need to look at is if your faction is occupying a route or most of it, if an enemy faction is invading, if your faction is actively taking back the route. Do not enter an enemy faction's populated zone, mostly blue, yellow zones, choose a dead route. If you're transporting in red zone, they're won't be much reds, always check maps for where players are dying and avoid those
Yep I agree it does help but if ur a very new player than I think faming up is more useful than focusing on silver. Mist is good for both fame and silver
@@bioy2646 Nah for a fresh new player it's too competitive and the mobs are hard to Speedrun, The chances of chests popping up are also slim. Don't forget about the 8.3 ppl ruling the abby
I tecommend gathering if you have a ton of patience snd. Really love it. Then stick it out. But het to t5 before you loose your yhree days the free ones of primium. Or ot yakes forever.
Hey guys how do youtubers check the player's equipment without pressing on their profile and then inspect? And are there any other shortcuts for that are useful (for attacking as well, for example pressing spacebar to attack rather than the character each time)
So I've just decided to start this game but on mobile for now and have a question, would sword and shield build be alright cuz I like to play a tank type class in most games which I know this game is a classless game but if still like to play sword and shield if feasible
You need to have at least had 7 days of premium on the character before you can purchase an island. After you have had that much premium time on that character, you can purchase one island in the royal cities and one island in Brecellian at any time.
How to solo and thrive in Albion online Step one Never put a foot on lethal areas Step two Farm until You're 700 spec on a specific meta build Steo three Go to mist 8.3 with said build Step four Profit
You don’t have enough experience to use tier 3 stuff you need to level up tier 2…. Go watch a good guide (not swolebenji) you skipped stuff in the game, you can’t wear high level armor unless you have the experience required to wear jt
I had my goal set to make 500m on east, solo... Done that. Now what? I simply lost the desire to open the game... There isn't much you can do as solo player "purpose" wise. Joining group stuff should be able to fix this, but man I lost the will to play the game already.
Came back to this game a couple weeks ago and its been PAINFUL. Making money is basically relegated to Mists as dungeons have been nerfed into the ground. But even then if I make a couple hundred k in profit I get 1v8 ganked and lose my 300k gear set and any profit i've made, or in the mists I get ganked by an 8.3 duo. Its just shitty. I don't understand the mentality of the people in this game, I almost never see the 8 man squads vs squads of similar size, but rather ganking solo or duo players because its easy. Seems like the only point of guilds in this game is to be rats and I don't get it. In my time back to Albion i've had Maaaaaaaybe 2-3 deaths from solo or fair fights, usually its people who VASTLY outgear or outnumber me, usually both. Its fucking pathetic to be honest and shows the quality of people that play this game and how they play it. Currently i'm on the verge of dumping the game again. The devs have nerfed every form of money making for solo players that doesn't involve PVP into the ground and its not right, there should be ways to enjoy the game without constantly being worried about getting ganked by zerk squads. Mist part seems weird, i've been attacked by groups of 2 and 4 in the mists.
if you have a larger group you can focus on late game pve content but you need to be ready for an attack from other players so you can raid bosses and stuff but there is always a risk of death in the area and losing your gear ( also some of the information in the video is outdated since there were updates in the game such as nerfing solo and group dungeon loot nerfing avalon loot and doubling the cost of runes in enchanting )
So we should gather like the bots let me guess who wins.. Hide is cheap af. Take your time gathering use your money and get gear nuked hours lost.. This isn't a fair game in my opinion. Solo player everything got nerved
only a fraction of the content is designed for solo play - and frankly its not very good if solo play in a large world is your thing then this game is one of the lesser options to choose from
This video collates a lot of his other videos and brings them up to date. Albion tends to change when you don't play it a while so these videos are helpful for people like myself who play on and off.
I just buy gold, then get bored and play something else. There's no need to waste hours and hours on boring repetitive tasks to make 30 millions when I can work and make that in the real world in 1 hr.
Ive been telling people for ever this man is untouched in terms of tips and guides.. i mean look at all this gold hes giving yall.Straight up Knowledge god.

A lot of those maps are open space where as the Lymhurst areas are very dense for resource gathering for some reason. I don't know why this is, or if it is even intentional but it was very apparent after switching faction cities as my base of operations that Martlock area maps have a lot more open space and less resource density to stay in one small part of a tile and farm. In Lymhurst I could easily find areas where there would be 5-10 nodes around and I would make a small circle collecting them all quickly around 1-2 rarer .1-.3 nodes.
Spot on regarding Hide even this many months later. Rarer hide spawns are very lucrative.
When i first started albion i thought Martlock areas and even Fort Sterling areas are pretty barren too. But i'm now a tier 8 gatherer, gathering all over across the albion continent for all resources except stones (they suck), and i'd have to say to you that this is false. Ores are super abundant in Martlock but the resource node areas aren't structured and place the same as say the logs and hide in like Lymhurst or Thetford. Just go explore and study the map further, i earn a million silver per hour consistently in Martlock now.
@@namelessking111 I was mainly referring to the resources shared with Lymhurst.
Tip: Premium fluctuates based on gold prices, so if you notice it's lower than usual (lower than 20 mil as of now) you can save some money by buying gold and either paying in gold or cashing in the gold when it's time to renew. Even if you don't need to it just makes money usually since the gold price goes from 4900-5300 and you can make some money from the increase
The best video about Albion which I saw. I am try to understand start this project or no. But I am a solo player with PvE focus. I really do not like PvP that much anymore... Just looking for place to disconnect myself with reality for couple hours.
I started playing a week ago and my issue is that the mobs in the higher tier areas kill me when I am trying to gather.
I reached T4 gathering and decided to now focus on leveling my battle skills first so i can survive. But now i have run out of points😅
Questions:
1. What is a 'learning point'?
2. Is PvP mandatory, or optional?
3. What are zones?
4. What are factions?
5. What is 'fame'?
6. What is a 'faction flag'?
7. What does 'tier 8' mean?
It is both confusing, and depressing, when modern game force players into imbalanced PvP environments. It was a thing in the 80s/90s, in the 'here and now' it seems to just be a crutch for lazy devs, and bait to attract whales. I think opt-in PvP is all well and good, or a PvP mode/region is fine too. Punishing new players for being new players, is engineered incompetence, at best. Rewarding sociopathic tendencies is never a good idea.
1.
Learning points are used to instantly finish levels in skills. It can only be used if you have gained at least 20% fame in a skills. Obtained 10 once a day after playing for a while, while an additional 20 is also added automatically with premium.
2.
There are PvP zones in the game, and it is the only way to get Tier 6, 7, 8 items in the game, other than buying from the market using your silver, so it is possible to completely avoid pvp while getting end game gear.
3.
Zones are areas in the world map. Each zone is a square shaped area with different attributes, like the biome and type. Blue Zones are completely safe but only offer up to Tier 4, while Yellow Zones have some sort of PvP and tier 5 items, but you do not lose anything and you only get knocked out when attacked by a player. Red zones have tier 6 items and have full loot PvP, but you can check the map to see how much hostiles are in the area you are in, and only hostiles can attack people by changing their status from friendly. Black Zones are the most dangerous zones. Not only is everyone set as Hostile, there are Player Guilds who defend their territory.
4.
There are two main types of factions. City Factions, and Player Guilds. City Factions are places where you can fight for a City, such as Martlock or Caerleon. You raid and conquer outposts to improve your standing with your chosen faction, and get lots of rewards. Player Guilds are self explanatory, but their main purpose is to be in Black Zones, claiming territories.
5.
Fame is XP achieved by training your skills.
6.
Faction Flagging is enlisting in a faction. You have a blue shield icon by your name by default in the top left of your screen, which means your Status is Friendly. It will turn into the emblem of the city faction if you have "flagged up" which is done by talking to the General of a city after you have enlisted in it. It can be removed by clicking on the icon of your faction on where the blue shield icon was. By clicking on your blue shield icon, you can also become a hostile.
7.
Tier 8 is the highest tier of items available in the game.
@@R7548-g9c Thank you.
I wish the game was even 1/2 as informative.
This game is pretty balanced in terms of PvP… you probably didn’t play enough or were playing the wrong way
New players don’t get punished wdym? YOU CHOOSE to go to an area where PvP is a thing and that you can lose everything… if you don’t want that you can just not go there but you won’t enjoy the game at all as most of the stuff is in the high level zones which I think is a good thing…
It takes mere minutes to Google all your questions within the context of Albion and get answers.
Also if you just play the tutorial and game it will show you all of these.
All farming (crops) are profitable without focus. Profit is about 500k per hour. Using focus is a loss as the impact isn't big enough with current premium costs. focus can be profitable for mount crafting but have to have big investment to get average or just hit big by getting a baby back for rare mounts or double babies for ox/horses
greatest video in a hot while, nice work
Is there anyway you'd consider making a mid-game video? Gotten back into Albion recently and I would like to think I'd be considered "midgame", don't have t8 gear unlocked yet cause I switched my build several times but the only fame farm worth its time that is viable at the moment is open world mobs in red zones. I have t8 reaver but black zones will kill me ez cause of my low spec and IP. I guess some recommendations for good lower IP fame and silver grinds would be nice. Been a recent watcher and subscriber so keep up the good work!
I figure theres 2 ways to do it really, get a fame farm set where u can solo statics, dont turn on auto respec, u will lose money and use that and gathering in safe areas or u join a guild and venture the black zone and risk it all, u can actually do both but i stick to safe and only roam mosts really, unless im with my guild 90% of the time
I play solo, and after a month of playing 1-2 hours a day, i maxed 4 weapons spec to 100 😁 and have enough silver to buy 3 months premium.
nice, what activities you focus on?
Let me guess, soloing static?
Only playing 1-2 hours a day yet maxed 4 weapons Spec to 100 in just a month + 3 months premium sounds kinda impossible from mists/sdg/cdg
@@RVxCobrareally believe him? 😂
@@DestinationX85 30 days, 2 hours each, is 60 hours. I make about 700-800k an hour in bz mists on a cheap set without touching abbey, if you get kills or go for abbey it's likely possible to earn more money than that. The 3 months premium part is believable. 4 complete sets (weapon, helmet, chest, shoes) in 60 hours would be rough/impossible, but if you were efficient with it there might be a possibility that after completing one set, he just funneled fame credits at the weapons and didn't raise additional armor.
Quite the feat of efficiency, but on the edge of what's technically possible.
@@BigLipsMcGee hello I mainly focus on doing open world bz and rz, then some solo dungeon t7 only. You have to play at the right time because if you play at peak times, you get less stuff and less fame. And nope i have not done the solo static thing since, too much divers
Thanks so much! I am a beginner thanks so much!
Nice vid as always, but wtf was that Ava-Shards return?^^
Great vid as always
I don't understand half of what this guy is talking about
This definitely makes sense after watching other people's videos or playing the game for about 20 hours and reading all the menus
Mf doesn’t understand the economy
My point was only that this isn't a very beginner friendly video.
I thought you were talking about hin not modulating words properly and i was going to agree 😂
@@Breadman-k6d I started out a few days ago and personally found the video extremely useful. I think if you put at least the time to discover the very basics of the game via its tutorial the video should be understandable.
I've already tried most of the stuff you can do in yellow zones and was wondering what to aim next and why/how should I set foot into red and black zones and now everything makes sense.
Loved your video! Can you make a video for guild content too? (territories, castles, outposts etc)
I LIVE FOR BIG LIPS CONTENT
Novamente você produz os vídeos de conteúdo mais interessantes e completos.
Honestly awesome 😎👍
This is the best video for a new player guys
Brother, you doing a great job 🤜🏻🤛🏻
As a new player I almost quitted after losing all my expensive gear twice on the red zone, just after I found out I should wear crap gear or tier 8 while being part of a group...
Very nice video
After 2 weeks of playtime I finally breakdown and watch this and found out it was what I am already doing 😒
Нам надо больше золота ! Спасибо за видео ! From Russia with love!
For solo mobile players I recommend transporting hearts, trust me it's decently good bucks..
You won't have to worry much about freezing if you're playing it very safe
It's very predictable on what enemies you'll encounter, you have to play it safe by checking the map beforehand and during transporting, what you'll need to look at is if your faction is occupying a route or most of it, if an enemy faction is invading, if your faction is actively taking back the route. Do not enter an enemy faction's populated zone, mostly blue, yellow zones, choose a dead route.
If you're transporting in red zone, they're won't be much reds, always check maps for where players are dying and avoid those
I wish I can play it on a PC
Yep I agree it does help but if ur a very new player than I think faming up is more useful than focusing on silver. Mist is good for both fame and silver
@@regretfu7772yea knightfall abbey is good too even in safe zones lol
@@bioy2646 Nah for a fresh new player it's too competitive and the mobs are hard to Speedrun, The chances of chests popping up are also slim. Don't forget about the 8.3 ppl ruling the abby
I like to just cruise around killing. And when i feel brave i grind a but at static dungeons. I may try my hand at gathering tho
I love your work
amazing video
I tecommend gathering if you have a ton of patience snd. Really love it. Then stick it out. But het to t5 before you loose your yhree days the free ones of primium. Or ot yakes forever.
Hey guys how do youtubers check the player's equipment without pressing on their profile and then inspect? And are there any other shortcuts for that are useful (for attacking as well, for example pressing spacebar to attack rather than the character each time)
Default hotkey is Y
@@BigLipsMcGee thanks! Great videos btw i started using the druid's staff and just made over a million
Very helpful
Damn bro you make another tutorial for beginners guide I don't what to watch now cause you make a lot of this video
14:08 is that a treant...😂
Ye
can u do a guide on how to get 700 spec for each weapon types? fast and cheap way
32:01 "Like your favorite streamer" I like the shade xD
Can we get a video about best pve weapons to main
So these upgraded mobs are bigger than regular mobs ? Is that how I should recognize them ??
Yea you will sort of learn as you go but main indicator is they increase in visual size
biglipsmcmoney is BACK
So I've just decided to start this game but on mobile for now and have a question, would sword and shield build be alright cuz I like to play a tank type class in most games which I know this game is a classless game but if still like to play sword and shield if feasible
Sir can u please covery how to level gathering faster
This might get me back in, who knows. I don't want to join a guild with their crazy demands and other politics.
Is it worth coming back when last time I played was like in end of 2021 ?
You still need 30 days premium for island? or did they change it. Sorry didnt play for a while
You need to have at least had 7 days of premium on the character before you can purchase an island. After you have had that much premium time on that character, you can purchase one island in the royal cities and one island in Brecellian at any time.
bruh idk why lately but ive been seeing quite a few solo mists players teaming with others and its really annoying.
would be nice to see lets say 2-3 builds for any type of content you've mentioned (cheap/medium budget)
How can you make silver buy low and sell high if the fees of selling is 8%? or there's a way to reduce the fees?
Is there any updated version of this?
what is the song in the background
Most is from Giants' Nest
no bandits mention?
Yea maybe I should have tried to slot that in somewhere. It's definitely a good activity for anyone
Farming is absolutely terrible tbh
oh ya? millions of easy silver a day is terrible?
Guess who get millions of silver?
everyone except players who started the game 1 year before
@@Princecrusherso you should be able to join day 1 and make millions? Cmon now
How to solo and thrive in Albion online
Step one
Never put a foot on lethal areas
Step two
Farm until You're 700 spec on a specific meta build
Steo three
Go to mist 8.3 with said build
Step four
Profit
yes
Is this guide still up to date?
Is this info still viable in 2024?
Yep market still behaves the same
I tried this game today, and got stuck. Got from the market tier 3 tools and i cant use them... What the fk...
You don’t have enough experience to use tier 3 stuff you need to level up tier 2…. Go watch a good guide (not swolebenji) you skipped stuff in the game, you can’t wear high level armor unless you have the experience required to wear jt
Gonna start a new account for purely bow of badon. Let's see how well I do. Wish me luck
Hows it going til now? what weapons are you mainly using
Why does he craft one item at a time but not all?
Qnice vdo❤❤❤
I had my goal set to make 500m on east, solo... Done that. Now what? I simply lost the desire to open the game... There isn't much you can do as solo player "purpose" wise. Joining group stuff should be able to fix this, but man I lost the will to play the game already.
Came back to this game a couple weeks ago and its been PAINFUL. Making money is basically relegated to Mists as dungeons have been nerfed into the ground. But even then if I make a couple hundred k in profit I get 1v8 ganked and lose my 300k gear set and any profit i've made, or in the mists I get ganked by an 8.3 duo. Its just shitty. I don't understand the mentality of the people in this game, I almost never see the 8 man squads vs squads of similar size, but rather ganking solo or duo players because its easy. Seems like the only point of guilds in this game is to be rats and I don't get it. In my time back to Albion i've had Maaaaaaaybe 2-3 deaths from solo or fair fights, usually its people who VASTLY outgear or outnumber me, usually both. Its fucking pathetic to be honest and shows the quality of people that play this game and how they play it. Currently i'm on the verge of dumping the game again. The devs have nerfed every form of money making for solo players that doesn't involve PVP into the ground and its not right, there should be ways to enjoy the game without constantly being worried about getting ganked by zerk squads.
Mist part seems weird, i've been attacked by groups of 2 and 4 in the mists.
Yeh just gotta rwt to buy silver or you'll waste a ton of time
so, this game is pve at first then end game is pvp? bummer was hoping for end game raids without dealing with pvp.
if you have a larger group you can focus on late game pve content but you need to be ready for an attack from other players so you can raid bosses and stuff but there is always a risk of death in the area and losing your gear ( also some of the information in the video is outdated since there were updates in the game such as nerfing solo and group dungeon loot nerfing avalon loot and doubling the cost of runes in enchanting )
So we should gather like the bots let me guess who wins..
Hide is cheap af.
Take your time gathering use your money and get gear nuked hours lost..
This isn't a fair game in my opinion.
Solo player everything got nerved
lol poor guy, looks like you never gathered in the red/black zone huh :( tier 6 and up is when you start to make lots of silver from gathering.
Can u please make a video of how to utilize premium ? I'm quite new and I got 5 days of premium and have no idea how to use it ...😂
wow
only a fraction of the content is designed for solo play - and frankly its not very good
if solo play in a large world is your thing then this game is one of the lesser options to choose from

Hate to say it Mcgee but youre starting to repeat yourself and make the same boring video youve made 10 times before =(
This video collates a lot of his other videos and brings them up to date. Albion tends to change when you don't play it a while so these videos are helpful for people like myself who play on and off.
I just buy gold, then get bored and play something else. There's no need to waste hours and hours on boring repetitive tasks to make 30 millions when I can work and make that in the real world in 1 hr.
Do you play,?
you cant in 2024 eu start
