It must be noted that different materials are required for each enchantment level, so choose wisely and compare prices before enchanting.

Use the Travel Planner NPC to fast-travel for free between cities, islands, and guild hideouts. Contrary to popular belief, you're not bound to a single city for gameplay. This feature makes it easy to explore different locations and adapt to your guild's needs. Keep in mind that the items you carry might affect the teleportation fee.


6) Red and black zones are important

Different zones in Albion Online offer varying levels of risk and reward. Blue and yellow zones are safe, while red and black zones feature full loot mechanics. Avoid bringing valuable items to the latter zones and only take what you can afford to lose. You must prioritize equipping inexpensive gear and necessary tools.


7) Invisibility potion

Invisibility potions are a vital tool for survival in the open world. While other options are effective for specific content, invisibility potions can help you evade dangerous situations. Keep a supply handy to make your journeys safer.

It becomes very essential to carry the invisibility potions when you are ganking in Albion Online, and the enemy starts fighting you. Using the potion, you can easily evade the enemy without taking much damage.


8) Learn your item power caps

Different content in Albion Online have specific item power caps, and over-gearing for content can be both costly and inefficient. Use resources like the Albion Wiki to understand the power caps for various activities such as Arena, Crystal League, Hellgates, and Corrupted Dungeons. Equip gear accordingly to avoid unnecessary expenses.


9) Emergency healing and energy

When lacking healing or energy resources, adjust your armor's abilities to Mend Wounds and your helmet's ability to Energy Regain. All armors and helmets in the game have these abilities, providing a way to address health and energy issues without relying on external resources.


10) Increase damage through armor
