How to make money fast in a MMO game is always a topic theme for the most of players, now we will talk about some methods to earn ArcheAge gold fast. Trade Packs are one of the best way to earn gold in

ArcheAge game. You can create trade pack of goods via using Commerce profession when your character touches level 10, its allow you to create and deliver trade packs. You can sell your goods in other region

to earn additional profits, you also could deliver your Trade Packs to Gold Traders on your continent to gain gold or Gilda stars. If you could transfer trade packs to more further, you could earn more.

How to create a Pack
The first thing you need to know is how to create a package in order to sell it for profit. First of all, you need a Merchant Certificate. This certificate can be bought for 50 silver coins from the Crafting

Merchant. When you get the certificate you need to gather all resources for crafting. Different packs require different resources and a list of required resources can be found in the "Commerce" crafting

menu. After you collect enough resources and have purchased the certificate you need to find a special workbench. The easiest way to find a workbench is to use map. Open your map and tick Infrastructure -

Speciality Workbench from the filters on the right. This will display what you need.

Trade Pack Creation
All crafting actions in ArcheAge require labor power, and each pack created will cost you 60 labor.

Risks
When a pack is finished it restricts your character, decreasing their movement speed. This makes you an easy target for all ranged enemies. Due to your restricted speed they will attack you with their

abilities from distance giving you a disadvantage. If you want to kill an enemy It’s better to place packs on the ground.

You can drop a package on the ground but other player can pick it up. You can also pick up the packs of other players.
If you encounter threaten from hostile professions, you can Buy ArcheAge Gold drop packs on special territories protected by a scarecrow, farm or house. This territory can be used by your character and other characters who

have access and cant be stolen by other players, but if you don’t pick it up in 6 days it will disappear. You can also place it into a special box on a ship. A merchant ship has 20 boxes, Galleon and

Tractor – 4 boxes. Only members of your party are allowed to take packages from a box.

You can’t drop a packageOn the territory owned by other player, if you don’t have permission to use it. Inside buildings, on the deck of a ship. In the sea. If you get killed in the sea or a ship with your

pack in a box was destroyed, all packs will be dropped and any character can pick them up. It’s the main basis of piracy in ArcheAge allowing players to rob each other.

Merchants and Mounts
After the package is created your character carries it on his back. Now the task is to deliver it to the other province to sell it. But there is one difficulty: like explained earlier, your movement speed

with goods is very slow. It's not a good idea to move on foot, and that’s where a mount will help you a lot.

Many players prefer to use horses to deliver cargo as they think that a horse is the best mount for this. But it's a big mistake guys! There is a special mount for merchants – donkey. A donkey is one of the

best mounst for delivering trade packages because of it's movement speed. Just compare: if you carry a trade pack your horse will move 1.8 m/s while a donkey moves at 4 m/s. A donkey’s basic speed is over

two times as much which makes a huge difference. Moreover, donkey's have a special skill that increases their movement speed by 30%. Which makes them even more superior to horses.

The reward you receive for delivering your pack depends on the remoteness of the buyer from the place where you made the pack. You gain the most profit when delivering to another island and a ship will help

you a lot. In fact there is a special ship for merchants called a Merchant Ship. The difference with this ship is that there are 20 Trade Pack storages there. You can place your pack in storage and thus

defend your ship from pirates much better.

Piracy
Pirates are a real threat for all traders and if you are alone you have very little chance to complete your deal. Therefore, it’s better to gather in a group to better protect your cargo. If you have a

Merchant Ship you should ask your guild mates to help you with delivering to protect against piracy. Big guilds usually gather in a large group to protect their merchants.

If you are defeated by pirates the chances to get your goods back are low. When they destroy the ship all cargo from the boxes will be dropped and pirates will be able to pick it up. As you can see, the risk

of losing goods is very high and I don’t recommend you deliver goods to another continent if you don’t have enough partner to protect your ship.

Rewards
The reward you get depends on the remoteness of the buyer from the place where the pack was made. The further a buyer is located the more money you make. Very often you will get the highest reward for

selling a pack on other continent or Liberty Island. It’s a risky journey but the reward is worth it.
The reward decreases if other players deliver too many packs similar to yours, in the location where you want to sell it. For example if there is a great supply of lumber packs in Sanddeep you will get lower

reward. If you are looking to maximize profits it’s better to choose a place with a stable economic situation. Or, you need to be fast, and lucky, to deliver your goods faster than other players.

Trade Packs can be delivered to special NPCs - Gilda Star Trader and Gold Coins Trader and can be exchanged for Gilda Stars and Gold. You can Buy Cheap ArcheAge Gold find these NPCs using your map; just filter Merchants - Gilda

Stars Trader / Gold Coins Trader. These traders are usually not far from each other.

If you sell packs for gold you receive it 22 hours after the transaction with a 5% gain. If you sell them for Gilda Stars you receive the reward immediately.
