In a few hours, the northern continent Auroria will also open in Europe for the sandbox MMO ArcheAge . A rush for the Anya veins is expected in the first minutes after the launch. How can you benefit from this?
When the northern continent Auroria opens in a few hours (scheduled for 6 PM, but it might be earlier), the miners will be in demand first. 50,000 points are needed in mining to harvest the Anya veins. 1-4 pebbles can be obtained from one vein, and each guild needs 300 pebbles if they aim for a castle. This means: These items are in extremely high demand and will achieve record profits in the auction house. At least this seems very likely and corresponds to the experiences from the US servers yesterday.
For Lone Wolves and Guilds, the Anya Rush Begins
On the US servers, players managed to earn 2000 gold for 30 pebbles (approximately 10-15 veins). However, the pebbles are only valuable in the first few hours. Once the guilds have gathered a pack and cleared the castles, the value of the pebbles on the US servers of ArcheAge dropped enormously. The items are time-sensitive, similar to already spoiled halves of pig. After all castles were claimed, the price of pebbles fell to just a measly gold coin. Therefore, miners who are not gathering for their guild need to act quickly and purposefully. Provided we remain spared from the server issues in Europe that overshadowed the launch in the USA.
Life as a miner in Auroria is quite dangerous: It is an open PvP area. Guilds will fight each other for the veins and attempt to prevent newcomers from accessing them. Especially around the caves, fierce battles are expected. The veins are frequently found in them. Access can be bought dearly with labor.
Afterwards, the Rush for Properties in ArcheAge Will Begin Again
At the moment, it is assumed that in the first hour when the servers come online, the madness in Auroria will boil over quickly and reach a boiling point. It’s a matter of minutes and seconds here. The top guilds are already ready and in alert position. Many have logged out in optimal positions. It is determined at the pebbles who can complete a trade package first to secure an area. Once that happens, the next rush will occur: new building areas will be released.
Unfortunately, there is bad news from the USA. The areas were extremely quickly occupied by a few players. Rumor has it, things are not as they should be. So you either have to keep up or bite the bullet and pay a horrendous compensation fee for the property to someone who was faster (or used unfair methods).
As you can see from this humorous video, you really have to keep up:
