Full transcript
- 0:00Hey everyone. In the last video, I
- 0:02showed you how I gathered a full tier
- 0:04three mammoth in Albion Online. It took
- 0:06me around two and a half hours and we
- 0:08made about 7.5 million silver. And I
- 0:11told you something important. If you
- 0:13repeat that process every day for a
- 0:16week, you'll hit your first 50 million
- 0:18silver.
- 0:19But here's the thing. If you keep doing
- 0:22the same method, you'll stay [music]
- 0:24stuck.
- 0:25So today, we move to stage two. The
- 0:28moment where your silver starts working
- 0:30for you instead of you working for it.
- 0:34In this video, I'll show you exactly how
- 0:36to take that 50 million silver [music]
- 0:38and scale it to the highest possible
- 0:40profit. Step by step, building a system
- 0:43where each stage feeds [music] the next
- 0:45until you create a compounding profit
- 0:48machine.
- 0:49So if you're serious about reaching your
- 0:51first billion, watch this till the end.

- 1:23[music]
- 1:28>> Now, once you reach around 50 million
- 1:31silver or even before that at [music] 10
- 1:34or 20 million, don't let your silver sit
- 1:37doing nothing. Put it to work.
- 1:39This is where we shift from gathering to
- 1:42pure refining. Instead of spending hours
- 1:46farming resources, we buy the raw
- 1:48materials and focus only on refining.
- 1:51And here's something important. In
- 1:54refining, you You chase what you like.
- 1:56you chase what makes the most profit.
- 2:00For me, I personally like gathering
- 2:01fiber, but when it comes to refining, I
- 2:05go where the money is.
- 2:06That's why I focused on metal bars, but
- 2:09this doesn't mean you should only stick
- 2:10to one resource.
- 2:12As your silver grows, you start
- 2:14diversifying.
- 2:16Because sometimes you can't buy huge
- 2:18quantities of a single resource, or
- 2:20selling it becomes slow because of the
- 2:21volume.
- 2:23Now, at this stage, you don't need crazy
- 2:25diversification yet.
- 2:27Even with 50 million, you can split your
- 2:29investment between two resources, like
- 2:31metal and wood.
- 2:33For now, we focus on tier four and tier
- 2:36five.
- 2:37And you can work with flat, point one,
- 2:40and maybe a bit of point two.
- 2:43But keep this in mind, buy orders will
- 2:45lock a lot of your silver.
- 2:47So, start simple, flat first, then point
- 2:50one, and leave point two for later.
- 2:53But trust me, point two will be a hidden
- 2:56gem in the next stage.
- 2:58Your job now is simple. Find the
- 3:00cheapest raw materials from the cheapest
- 3:03city.
- 3:04Then set an average price in your mind
- 3:06for both raw materials and refined
- 3:09products.
- 3:10If the raw price goes too high and the
- 3:12refined item doesn't follow, you stop.
- 3:15Wait for the market, don't force trades
- 3:18because prices fluctuate, especially
- 3:21with refining bonuses.
- 3:23Let's take metal as an example.
- 3:25Tier five ore, around 285 silver, tier
- 3:28four, around 100, tier three, around 75.
- 3:34As for tier two, don't waste your time.
- 3:37Just buy it already refined from the
- 3:39city with the refining bonus. It's
- 3:41usually cheaper than doing it yourself.
- 3:44And later on, when your operation gets
- 3:46bigger, you can apply the same idea even
- 3:49to tier three.
- 3:50At this stage, you're not just making
- 3:52silver, you're building a system.
- 3:55A system that scales. The more you
- 3:57invest, the more it returns.
- 4:01Now, let's talk about transporting,
- 4:03refining, and the numbers.
- 4:06And I'll break it all down for you at
- 4:08the end.
- 4:09At this stage, you probably don't have a
- 4:12mammoth yet.
- 4:13So, we need to maximize our carrying
- 4:15capacity with what we have.
- 4:18First, get a tier eight ox.
- 4:21Then, equip a gathering cape.
- 4:23Because it reduces the weight of raw
- 4:25materials by 30%.
- 4:28And on top of that, use tier seven
- 4:30gathering food. Which increases your
- 4:32carry capacity [music] by another 30%.
- 4:36So, combined, you're massively
- 4:38increasing how much you can transport
- 4:39per trip.
- 4:41For example,
- 4:42with tier five resources, you can carry
- 4:45around nine stacks per trip.
- 4:48And for tier four, around 13 to 14
- 4:50stacks.
- 4:52And honestly, that's already very solid
- 4:55considering your current capital.
- 4:57At this point, your main goal becomes
- 5:00clear.
- 5:01Buy a mammoth as soon as possible.
- 5:04But here's something [music]
- 5:05interesting. The ox actually has an
- 5:08advantage.
- 5:09Speed.
- 5:11A mammoth transport can take around 15
- 5:13to 20 minutes.
- 5:15But with a tier eight ox, you can do the
- 5:17same trip in about five to seven
- 5:19minutes.
- 5:20Which means, in the time it takes for
- 5:23one mammoth run, you can do three full
- 5:26trips with an ox.
- 5:28So, the difference isn't as big as you
- 5:30think.
- 5:31Now that you understand the system,
- 5:33let's break down the actual numbers,
- 5:35profits, and how much you can make per
- 5:37cycle.
- 5:41Now, after transporting all your raw
- 5:44materials to Thetford [music] in Albion
- 5:46Online, we move to the next step.
- 5:48Refining.
- 5:51you really have two options. If your
- 5:53capital is still small, the best
- 5:55approach is simple.
- 5:57You transport, refine, and sell daily.
- 6:00Why?
- 6:01Because market prices move all the time.
- 6:05And you don't have enough liquidity yet
- 6:07to hold materials and wait for better
- 6:09prices.
- 6:10If prices drop, your profit disappears.
- 6:13So, in this stage, speed is more
- 6:16important than perfection.
- 6:18Now, the second option. This is what I
- 6:21personally do, but only when I have
- 6:23large capital, around 500 million silver
- 6:26or more.
- 6:27Instead of refining daily, I accumulate
- 6:30raw materials over time. Then, I
- 6:32transport them to their refining cities,
- 6:35metal to Thetford, hide to Martlock, and
- 6:38so on.
- 6:39And I store everything, waiting for the
- 6:41refining bonus day.
- 6:43Then, I refine everything at once.
- 6:46Now, you might ask, does the refining
- 6:48bonus really matter for small players?
- 6:51Honestly, not that much. Because on
- 6:54bonus days, raw material prices go up,
- 6:57and refined [music] items usually go
- 6:59down. So, for small capital, your
- 7:01advantage is almost zero.
- 7:04But for large capital, this is where
- 7:06things get interesting.
- 7:09I buy materials outside bonus days at
- 7:11lower prices. Then, I refine on bonus
- 7:15day to reduce my costs. And here's the
- 7:18key part. I don't sell immediately. I
- 7:21wait until there's a crafting bonus for
- 7:24items that consume my materials.
- 7:27For example, if there's a bonus on plate
- 7:29armor in Bridgewatch, I transport my
- 7:31metal there and sell during that day.
- 7:34That's when prices spike.
- 7:37So, now, my costs are lower because of
- 7:40refining bonus, and my selling price is
- 7:42higher because of crafting demand. And
- 7:45this can increase my profit by around
- 7:4730% more on top of my normal profit. For
- 7:51example, if I invest 1 billion silver
- 7:54normally, I might make 200 million
- 7:57profit, but with this strategy, that
- 8:00profit can go up to 500 million.
- 8:03And at this level, waiting becomes worth
- 8:05it because your silver is not your only
- 8:08resource. You have liquidity,
- 8:10flexibility, and scale.
- 8:13So, even if some silver is locked,
- 8:15you're still making money somewhere
- 8:17else.
- 8:18This is how you go from making silver to
- 8:21controlling the market.
- 8:23Now, let's talk about the final stage.
- 8:27Selling.
- 8:29To keep it simple,
- 8:30prices are usually higher in cities with
- 8:32crafting bonuses for items that consume
- 8:35your materials,
- 8:36especially cities that are far from
- 8:38Thetford, like Lymhurst or Bridgewatch
- 8:41inside Albion Online.
- 8:44These cities also have another
- 8:45advantage.
- 8:47They consume large quantities, so you
- 8:49can sell your volume much faster.
- 8:53But don't blindly trust the market.
- 8:55Always check prices at least once per
- 8:57day.
- 8:59Now, let's break down the numbers.
- 9:01How do we calculate refining cost?
- 9:04It's very simple.
- 9:05You take the total cost of raw
- 9:07materials,
- 9:08then subtract the return rate, which is
- 9:10around 36.7%
- 9:12normally,
- 9:14and goes up to about 40% on bonus days.
- 9:17That gives you your real material cost.
- 9:20Then you add the refining station fee.
- 9:23Based on our example, tier four cost me
- 9:25around 186 silver on a bonus day, and
- 9:29tier five cost around 645 silver.
- 9:33And remember, when calculating profit,
- 9:36you always carry the cost forward.
- 9:39Meaning, the tier four used in refining
- 9:42tier five is calculated at its cost
- 9:45price.
- 9:46Now, let's look at selling prices.
- 9:49For example, in Bridgewatch, tier four
- 9:52sells for a profit of about 100 silver
- 9:54per piece, and tier five sells for
- 9:57around 920 silver.
- 9:59That's about 220 silver profit per piece
- 10:03after taxes.
- 10:05So, if your ox carries around nine
- 10:07stacks of tier five, that's about 2
- 10:10million silver profit per [music] trip
- 10:12with a cost of around 5.8 million
- 10:15silver.
- 10:16So, your 50 million capital can generate
- 10:19around nine ox trips, which is roughly
- 10:22equal to one and a half mammoth loads.
- 10:25And that gives you around 18 million
- 10:28silver profit.
- 10:30And the best part?
- 10:31You can do this daily.
- 10:33Which means you're making around 10 to
- 10:3615 million silver per day, or roughly
- 10:4020% to 30% return on your capital.
- 10:46And here's where it gets powerful.
- 10:48Your silver starts to grow fast.
- 10:52You'll notice your money is doubling
- 10:54every four days, and within 15 days,
- 10:58you'll be sitting on a very large amount
- 11:00of silver.
- 11:01But, let me be real with you. A lot of
- 11:04people complain about the effort. So, if
- 11:06you think you're going to make 1 billion
- 11:08silver from zero while being AFK,
- 11:12you're dreaming.
- 11:14This only works passively when you
- 11:16already have massive capital.
- 11:18But, from zero, you have to put in the
- 11:21work.
- 11:22And that's it for this stage. In the
- 11:24next video, I'll show you how to double
- 11:26your profit, and how to take advantage
- 11:29of bonus days, even when prices drop.
- 11:32So, if you enjoyed this video, don't
- 11:34forget to like and share, and I'll see
- 11:37you in the next stage.
