Hey. You're correct that you will need to go to a major city to craft T4 and upwards. The starter towns just support you up to T3. You can source materials yourself or buy them or the finished item through the marketplace. Low tier items are usually very affordable in major cities.

If an item uses an artifact like you mentioned then you can also buy those there as you would usually loot them while defeating enemies or opening chests but since there's a lot of different artifacts it could take long to get the desired one.

I'll link a steam guide here that explains a lot of the different activities that you can do in the game. Keep in mind that it doesn't contain the latest update yet: What to do in Albion Online? [Updated July 2022]

Feel free to reply here i...

Steam can only be linked to a single account so if you haven't created a character through steam yet you should be able to log into your desired account through steam. Keep in mind though that prices for Gold, Premium or Vanity might be higher through third-party clients such as steam because they take a share of the purchases.

For raw damage output definitely. The basic builds aim at being very affordable though so they're preferably without any expensive artifacts. Everyone can increase tier/enchantments and add artifacts if they're fluid enough!

Hideouts are under the influence of the territory owner. This means the owner can launch an attack on the hideout and destroy it.

Headquarters in return just need to be fed power cores and stay above their zone threshold. Their downside is that the guild needs to reach a certain amount of points and access can only be granted to guild members. They're also limited to 1 per guild while there can be multiple guild hideouts.

You don't lose any silver. You lose 5% durability on all equippable items. A part of the money that's lost this way is dropped on the ground and can be picked up.
If you die in PvP your gear takes 30-50% durability damage and can be looted by other players. Some of the items may trash.

Crafting stations have multiple tabs. You can find armors in the second tab as seen in the screenshot.

The best measurement to resource efficiency is checking the overview map. Royal cities have a base bonus of 18% for all refining/crafting (before any other bonus is applied). This means that repeating the same craft process you'll be able to repeat it 18% more often. As an example, if you had resources to craft 100 times, on the island this number wouldnt change while you would get 118 crafts in the city.

The 6% resource return you mention is the difference of resources you get back when using focus. I assume it's something like 43 & 37% you refer to. While it's true that it seems like it's just 6% difference when you try to go from 37 to 43 it's actually a ~16% increase.

If you want to maximize your return you probably want to craft in Brecilien as that city has another 15% bonus return for potions or you could even wait for a daily production bonus for potions :)

...

Next to the events you have a daily production bonus that changes with every maintenance. This one can have a higher resource return for crafting specific items or refining resources. Since you can repeat the crafting process more often you will get more fame this way.

I assume you're talking about different floors in Static Dungeons.

There used to be different layouts of T4 dungeons. One of them was pretty much a mimic of the T7 undead dungeon. As far as I know just the other layout stayed which has only one floor. The T6, T7 & T8 Static Dungeons still have multi-floor layouts.

We'd like to do that but there were simply too many news/announcements that needed the attention recently.

No, you get to keep the island after you've purchased it even if premium runs out!

That's correct. They can't interact with each other in yellow zones.

Hey, you're right. It should probably say "equippable" instead.

Yes, studying items also becomes cheaper the more spec or mastery you have in a node!

That would also not be allowed.

Thanks for the detailed explanations!

We've added it to our collection of Community Guides, it was about time that one got revived :)

Can't promise anything but we're planning to work on making more beginner-friendly information available.
