Albion Online Guild Economy

In order to help facilitate effective gearing and to ensure a steady supply of needed gear, equipment and accessories in our Roads of Avalon Hideout we have implemented a system we call our "Internal Economy". We have implemented this system to help reduce people's gear fear and to assist with making it easier to live "off the grid" on the roads.

This system attempts to accomplish a couple of things:

• The guild provides crafters with the resources required to make goods
• The guild maintains an active and well stocked Auction House with semi closed market conditions that enforce prices that are reasonable relative to global market prices (meaning we don't pay a premium for living in the Roads)
• The guild provides resources to connect crafters, refiners and gatherers with members in the guild needing gear, equipment and accessories

We will detail below the specifics of this system. If you have questions after reading this article, the best place to ask them is in Discord.

The Strategic Reserve

The guild maintains a strategic reserve of important refined resources, and other essential supplies. These resources are provided as close to the guild's cost as possible. Currently the strategic reserve supplies the following items:

• Refined resources of quality T4, T5 and T6
• Upgrade materials for upgrading gear to 4.3, 5.2 and 6.1 (T7 equiv)
• Food (meta food items: Pork Pies, Beef Stew, and Pork Omelets. Beef Sandwiches for powering the hideout)
• Mounts
• Bags
• Potions (Resistence Pots, Poisons,
• Capes

At any given time we maintain a stock of these items balanced between being available on the Guild Auction House, being available in chests for crafters and held in Reserve in the Hideout Guild Bank.

If you'd like the real time status of the Strategic Reserve including the guild cost structure on these items, you can see that here.

Resource Pricing

Resources supplied by the guild for crafting and upgrading are priced as follows:

Leather (T4)	131
Leather (T5)	781
Leather (T6)	3820
Metal Bar (T4)	98
Metal Bar (T5)	635
Metal Bar (T6)	2282

Strategic Reserve Donations

If you would like to donate any of the items that we have in the strategic reserve or raw resources that will be useful to maintaining the reserve, you can do so by donating items to the Strategic Reserve tab in the Hideout or the Armory Donations tab on the Guild Island in Lymhurst.

I need gear crafted, what do I do?

The guild has setup all crafting stations available in the Hideout and upgraded them to at least Tier 6.

If you need gear crafted by another crafter please follow the following process:

1. Post a looking for crafter request in discord (channel #ao-tradezone). You can use our Albion Online Crafting & Refining Roster for a list of who crafts what
2. The crafter will reply to the discord thread confirming they will craft the item for you
3. An officer will reply to the discord thread informing you of the price of the item. That price is to be donated to the guild before the crafter trades you the item. Once you have donated you can post a screenshot of your donation into the Discord thread.
4. The crafter will have access to the guilds resources, they will take out what they need, craft the item and return any resources that are saved via RRR (resource return rate)
5. The crafter will inform you of what it cost them to craft the item at the station (we charge below cost on our crafting stations to recoup some of the cost of maintaining nutrition on the stations).
6. Once you have provided proof of donation in the discord thread, the crafter will trade you the items you requested, and you will pay them back the above station fees. You are free (but not expected) to tip the crafter as well for their time

I am a crafter I would like to help...

First, thank you! If you are interested in helping out please add your crafting roles to the Albion Online Crafting & Refining Roster wiki. If you're allergic to editing wikis you can reach out to an officer in Discord and they will add your info for you (try editing it in yourself, try it, you'll like it).

Once an officer has confirmed your request we will give you the Guild Crafter role in game which will give you access to chests in our crafting area in the Hideout with the resources.

Please note - the resources in the crafting chests are only for crafting gear for your guild mates (and yourself of course!), anyone caught abusing access to these resources will have their access revoked.

Accessing resources

Once you have the Crafter role in the guild you will be able to access the crafter chest that is inside of the Guild Hall in the Roads Hideout.

Here is the location of the crafter chest:

I would like to supply items to the guild auction house...

If there are items you think it would be helpful to have on the auction house and you'd like to import them yourself, that's awesome! Everyone is free (AND ENCOURAGED!) to import items into the roads and list them on the AH. There are no hard and fast rules about how we manage this but we are encouraging anyone who participates in this to limit the amount of profit that you build into your price. Please remember that the point of the Hideout, the Hideout AH and all of this effort is to provide an affordable platform to play the game out of the Roads. Profiteering on that scarcity is counter to the guilds goals, and not helpful to your fellow guild mates.

I would like to help the guild maintain the strategic reserve

It is expected that weekly (or so) the guild will post a looking for strategic reserve restock post in #ao-tradezone on Discord. This will be a list of items that we need to replenish (things like bags, food, etc) to maintain our reserve and auction house stock. The guild will provide the resources required to craft these items, and work with the crafters to ensure supply of essential goods in our market and strategic reserve. We will also use this weeklly-ish market order to announce any changes to what items we are stocking, prices, etc.
