If you got time, farm and stock seeds. Expecially pumpkins, beans, ginseng, etc When you can get to the right farming level, make bundles, they give you bait worms which are also going to sky rocket in price come 3.0. Right now Im hardly active on the AH or crafting cool toys. Im stashing everything for 3.0 for a ton of profit :D

Im not playing freshstart. Im on the normal servers, not a chance Im giving up all my cool stuff to start again. Also really dig my guild, so no plans to move. Its only people doing the zerg rush for the fresh start servers who struggle.

I made about $100 a night though for the last 4 days. Running the elf quest line on the fresh start servers to get the gilda. Using the gilda to sell for Apex, deleting the character, restarting it. Thats the only engagement I have had with the freshstarts.

Should also point out, 99% of the disruptions come from DDOS attacks. Thats the problem with having a game that is top heavy with Russians :D Ive also had longer ques on on a wow patch.... but its interesting to see so many servers so full. My trade runs are more complicated now.

On Saturday our whole guild is making a video. We are going balls to the walls against Core. In post #30, you see footage of us at a Naval event called Abyssal. Core still won that event. We are one ship, they are about 20 (almost every other battleship you see in that video is Core, we were surrounded, if they get onto our ship and we cant fight off the breach we are totally screwed as one of their players is about as powerful as 10 of ours, and when you see about 4 min into that film when they try zerg our ship... I got nervous). But on Saturday, things are going to be insane.

Couple of things we have planned.

1) We have secretly being recruiting every guild on the Harnayan side, we specifically want their speedboats. These boats are going to be Kamakazi boats. They have one focus. To aim aim Core medium and small sized warships. So our galleon can handle their galleon without grasshoppers jumping into the fight. The speed boats can one shot a medium size ship if you suicide into them. Core have never come across this tactic enmasse, and the thought of 50 speedboats driving around like lunatics aiming for their ships on Saturday is fun. Will get some good footage.

2) There is a peace time now in Mariople (enemy major city), so we are all going to do a slow march through the capital city with our donkeys and turkeys out. These donkeys and turkeys will all be named "Core".

3) During Abyssal chaos (battleships and people dying everywhere) . 6 of us are going to have a yacht race through this carnage.

You missing out on one of the best games I have ever experienced Max. Hurry up :D Seriously, how can I go back to "leatherworking" in wow, after doing shipwreck hunting in Archeage :D

We are making a guild recruitment song... and we have permission from the songs author to use the song! He likes our guild. This is the song we are going to be using.

[video=youtube;P1HtZ07ftEQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1HtZ07ftEQ[/video]

We changed to a new crest for this song, and made our flag black for it. We have also adopted the pirate bays hydra logo into ours. It represents our resilience and grit against Core.

I must warn people, guilds in Archeage are not like guilds in wow, in Archeage, theyre very serious. Many spies have many eyes.

Aeon vs Core round 2. Another of their ships sunk. They breached our ship but we were able to push them off :D They really gunned for us in this Abyssal, at one point we had 3 ships all focused on us.

Today we sieged Core (first time anyone was stupid enough to challenge them in a long time), we lost. Was an epic loss though. Core would not leave their castle after our first attacks, but we were no match for them at all and could only beat them with numbers when they came off their walls. Since they didnt, we decided to pillage their housing area. This made them super salty (we cost them thousands in gold in damage). So I made this video for them :D We had two enemy faction guild leaders standing on the mountainside watching us fight Core, and they have decided to launch sieges at the same time we do the next time. As Core moved all their best players into this defensive group. So if they are hit at the same time at multiple castles, we stand a chance to bring them down.

This is what I mean when I say that Archeage content is player made, doesnt require content from Trion :D Except new things to build of course :D

Aeon fighting Core at Fredrich (aka us poking a grumpy bear with a stick).

Uploaded this video so you can see this aspect of making gold and trading. High risk for high rewards and loads of fun.
