Albion Online Laborers Guide (2024) Laborers are a great way to generate passive income in Albion Online by gathering, crafting, or farming fame. This guide covers everything you need to know about hiring, managing, and maximizing profits from laborers. Types of Laborers There are three main types of laborers, each tied to a specific activity: Laborer Type Bonus Rewards Best For Gatherer Resources (Ore, Wood, etc.) Players who gather often Crafter Crafting materials Crafters & refiners Mercenary Silver & combat fame Players who kill mobs/dungeons Each type has tiers (T2-T8), with higher tiers giving better rewards. How to Get Laborers Buy from Market: Search for "Laborer" in the market (e.g., "T5 Gatherer"). Craft Journals: Journals can be crafted or bought, then filled by performing related activities (gathering, crafting, killing mobs). Player-Owned Houses/Islands: You need a house (personal or guild island) to place laborers. Setting Up Laborers Step 1: Buy a House or Island Personal Island: Buy from a citys island vendor (requires premium). Guild Island: Requires a guild with an island. House in City: Cheaper but limited space. Step 2: Build Laborer Beds Each laborer needs a bed (T2-T8, matching laborer tier). Higher-tier beds increase happiness, boosting rewards. Step 3: Assign Laborers Place the laborer in the house/island. Give them a filled journal to start working. Managing Laborers Happiness System 100% Happiness = Max rewards (decays over time). Ways to Increase Happiness: - Higher-tier beds. - Same-tier journals (T5 laborer needs T5 journal). - Decorations (tables, trophies, etc.) in the house. Refilling Journals Gatherers: Fill by gathering resources. Crafters: Fill by crafting/refining. Mercenaries: Fill by killing mobs in open world/dungeons. Tip: Use lower-tier journals for faster filling (e.g., T4 journal fills faster than T8). Maximizing Profits Best Laborer for Silver Mercenaries: Best for raw silver (but requires combat). Gatherers: Best for passive resource income. Crafters: Profitable if you craft high-tier gear. Optimal Setup T6-T8 Laborers give the best ROI (return on investment). Multiple Houses/Islands: More laborers = more profit (but requires investment). Selling vs. Using Rewards Sell gathered resources or crafted mats for silver. Use rewards for personal crafting/gathering. Advanced Tips Focus on One Type: Specialize in either gathering, crafting, or mercenaries. Guild Laborers: Guild islands can hold many laborers for mass profit. Laborer Chains: Use multiple laborers to feed into each other (e.g., gatherers supply crafters). FAQ Do Laborers Work Offline? Yes! They generate rewards over time as long as they have journals. How Often Should I Check Them? Every 1-3 days to refill journals and collect rewards. Is Premium Required? No, but having a personal island (which needs premium) helps. Final Verdict Laborers are a great passive income source, especially for gatherers and crafters. Start with T4-T5 laborers, then upgrade as you progress. Want to maximize profits? Combine laborers with active gathering/crafting for the best results!
