How to recover / restore archeage labor points?
Labor Points are recovered automatically over time. Non-premium player recovers 5 point every 5 minutes regardless online status. Upgrade to premium account allows player to get 10 points every 5 minutes when online, and 5 points when offline.
There is on more way to recover – you need to own a house with a special bed. Later on we will add a guide about recovering labor power. Sleeping allows to recover labor faster and also applies a special buff that allows to work more effective.
The level of your character doesn’t affect the speed of labor recovery. So sooner or later you will face with lack of it. ArcheAge allows you to ask a friend for help with your task if you have no points. If your friend has enough labor he can help you with crafting. This may be helpful when you need to create something really huge like a castle or a big ship.
If you have enough LP you can spend them for your own needs or you can help others. This system allows you to “sell” your ability to craft to another player. They can hire you in order to benefit from your pool.
Labor is a very important resource that makes crafting very interesting. A player has to manage the power carefully in order to level up crafting professions. This power is a center part of the economy system in ArcheAge.
Quest/mob grind till your blue in the face, and fingers numb. Labor = opening coin purses and only ones worth opening now are 3rd floor library, you can do open map for ship component designs and ship regrade scrolls but then again you would have to use /trade to sell and have a basic understanding of the game's mechanics. Not exactly something a player is going to dedicate him/herself to as a New player. Seems moreso someone thought it would help combat a archeage gold seller/buyer issue, when all it really does is effect the actual player base's progression. Play for a couple of hours then u get to watch TV for the next 3 days waiting on labor to regen while being logged on the game and creating server congestion leading to mass d/c's etc. Use labor to open coin purses to buy supplies to play game with OR use labor to make supplies, either way it leads back to the same issue the OP stated in this thread.
