Mythril Crate Empire
Created by @Philipp. thank you for sharing
Initial Setup
A Mythril crate empire is an easy way to earn passive income on Melissia and print 100-200 Billion Silver per day or 1 Trillion silver per week (40K crates).
How does it work?
By connecting the main cities via nodes to Land of the Morning Light by investing Contribution Points and setting up workers in cities to craft Mythril Ingot Crates. You sell them to Land of the Morning Light Nampo's Moodle Village's Trade Manager Gapsam, for 18-23m/crate (Calpheon City), 20-25m/crate (Valencia City) and 20-25m/crate (Heidel) depending on your Trading lifeskill level. Prices are with Bargain included.
Cheapest Connection of Nodes
Connect nodes from Valencia City to Weita Island. Then connect Weita Island to Velia, Velia to Heidel, Heidel to Calpheon, and finally Weita Island to Nampo's Moodle Village.
Here is the list of all required nodes:
Following the connection of Valencia and Calpheon to Weita Island, connect Weita Island to Nampo’s Moodle Village (LoML):
Weita Island > Baremi Island (1 CP) > Orffs Island (1 CP) > Lema Island (1 CP) > Oquilla’s Eye (0 CP) > Byukgye Island (1 CP) > Nampo’s Moodle Village (0 CP)
Tip: Use a Shark Costume and SWIM to unlock the islands if you don’t have a decent ship or carrack!
Step-by-Step Execution
- Purchase Workshops: Purchase all the "Mineral Workshop" houses in Calpheon City (23 Mineral Workshops), Valencia City (9 Mineral Workshops), and Heidel (7 Mineral Workshops).
- Purchase Lodging: Purchase Lodging houses to accommodate workers in Calpheon City (23 Workers), Valencia City (9 Workers), and Heidel (7 Workers).
- Black Stone Powder: Do Processing (Grinding) on about 25-50k Black Stones to get an infinite stock of Black Stone Powder.
- Complete Quests:
- Complete the [Life] [Certificate] Quests for the processing knowledge needed to process Mythril.
- Complete the [Life] Green Thumb Quests to unlock gathering Mini Games (requires Gathering Artisan Lv.1 or higher to start). This allows you to gather up to 140k Mythril per mini game with a season character on season channel (x15 lifeskill XP and drop rates) with P2W pets such as hedgehog and panther.
- Abyss One (The Magnus): Complete [Abyss One] The Magnus questline so you can teleport to Land of the Morning Light. After finishing The Magnus questline, you'll be able to teleport to LoML at any moment and grab the crates from Calpheon, Valencia, and Heidel Storage.
💠 Mythril Location
What you are required to do regularly is restocking Mythril Ingots in Calpheon, Heidel, and Valencia City. How regularly you need to gather and how long your Mythril Ingots last totally depends on your stock and how fast your workers are. The recommended mythril amount should last at least two weeks.
- Recommended starting mythril amount: 1 Million
Mythril can be mined from "Soft Sandstone" and “Hard Sandstone”, which can be found around Valencia City's West side ("Valencia Plantation") and the outskirts of Valencia City. You can find precise node locations on bdolytics.
💠 Custom Loot Filter & Distribution
IMPORTANT:
- AGRIS and % DROP RATE INCREASE BUFFS work with gathering — always use AGRIS + LS2!
- IF YOUR GATHERING LEVEL IS VERY LOW, MYTHRIL WON’T DROP — level up!
It’s recommended to only collect Mythril, Caphras Stones, Sharp Black Crystal Shards, Ancient Spirit Dust, Fairy’s Breath, Leila’s Petals, Black Gem Fragments, Imperfect Lightstones, and Artifacts. Store your Mythril in your Tent Container when you reach maximum weight or transfer it to a city storage with maids.
How to set up a Loot Filter:
You can make your own "loot filter" to speed up gathering by filling up your inventory with non-stackable items (accessories or spirit stones for example) and leaving 7+ slots available for the above-mentioned items. Manually loot them on your first gather, then continue looting with R.
On pressing R, the game will only collect what's already in your inventory and leave the rest that you don't want to pick up.
Processing & Allocation
- Process all Mythril Ore into Melted Mythril Shards, then process those into Mythril Ingots.
- Split Mythril Ingots and Black Stone Powder across the three cities:
- 70% to Calpheon
- 18% to Valencia City
- 12% to Heidel
- Assign workers to Mineral Workshops to turn Mythril Ingots + Black Stone Powder into Mythril Ingot Crates.
💠 Workers, Promotions & ~950 CP Empire
Production Speed per Worker Grade (Mythril Ingot Crate):
- Start by hiring Skilled goblin workers.
- Let them work until they reach level 15-20 so they get 2-3 promotion chances (sometimes 3-4).
- Stop their work and promote them.
- Reassign successfully promoted workers to Mythril Ingot Crates and fire workers whose promotions were unsuccessful.
- Repeat until you only have Artisan goblin workers.
Expanding to a ~950 CP Empire
If you want to get the absolute maximum profit from Mythril Ingot Crates, you can add further cities and towns to your empire (even though they offer only 1-4 Mineral Workshops). You’ll need approximately 950 Contribution Points to connect all cities and towns that have a Mineral Workshop.
Note: Some towns do not have their own work supervisor, so you must connect them to the closest major city.
Total: 73 Mineral Workshops printing money 🤑
(If you're feeling extra special, you can add a Calpheon Timber Crate empire on top of this. Be warned: it offers VERY LITTLE increase in silver gains and requires A LOT MORE TIME processing the three kinds of timbers).
