Albion Online has just started closed beta and here’s a brief look at the economy system. Like other traditional MMORPGs, Albion Online features player-driven economy.
Farming
Need a break from fighting for your life, but still want to support your guild? Retire to your own private island off the coast of Albion and build and maintain a farm, including crops and animals, with a whole new set of buildings. Generate food to fuel your guild’s war efforts, or even just sell on the market for a profit!
Discover, Gather, Hunt
To erect the greatest cities and smith the most deadly weapons requires resources, and plenty of them. Search far and wide to find the very rarest, most prized materials. But be on your guard – your enemies will be looking too!
Craft your own armor and weapons
A player forges their own destiny! Be it a mighty set of armor, a magic staff or a set of sturdy tools – all items are crafted by you in our player-driven economy, so take up position at the anvil and get smithing!
Haul your goods around the world
There are many ways to transport goods across the vast world of Albion. So load up your trusty pack mule and set off on your way! Be warned, though, a full carriage is slow, and an easy target for thieves – be prepared to protect your cargo!
Trade your goods at local marketplaces
Have more resources and items than you know what to do with? Or are you looking for a particular kind of blade? Take yourself to the nearest marketplace – plenty of traders await you there, and you’re sure to find what you’re looking for!
