ArcheAge Chronicles: making money

What is already settled about paying and earning. Concrete trade routes and prices are not listed here.

What the game costs

Buy to play, no subscription. The Early Access price is 29.99 euro in the German Steam store and 29.99 US dollars in the United States.

The price can change for the full release. There is no shop at the start of Early Access. Later, optional purchases for content, looks and comfort are planned. The producer has said they will not be pay to win.

Preordering includes the Dawn Pioneer Set, one costume set for a class of your choice.

Loot and selling

Field bosses drop gear, including accessories, and crafting materials you do not find elsewhere. Chests can hold gear and rare recipes. Each character opens each chest once.

  • Since the maintenance on 4 November 2026, Hereafter Stone can no longer be sold. You can still discard it.
  • Cheap Moonshine can be discarded again.
  • Dismantle settings for some items were adjusted, without a public price list.

What is still open

Daily limits, pack prices and the most profitable route are not firm enough for a guide. This page grows with Early Access. Community maps on the tools page can show trade posts. Those are hints, not checked prices.

To the tools page

As of 6 November 2026, Early Access has been live on Steam since 4 November 2026 at 0:00 local time. Numbers and skills may still change.
