Ashes of Creation: Turn common materials into experience and silver at the start of the game
This video explains how Ashes of Creation players can use common materials like basalt, granite, and sandstone to gain experience and silver at the start of the game. The process involves using the metallurgy and quarrying benches to transform these materials into more valuable resources, even with bad luck in the RNG.
1. 💰 Turn Common Stone into Experience and Silver at the Start of the Game
- ✅ Stone like basalt, granite, and sandstone, often ignored, can be a valuable source of experience and silver.
- ✅ Most players sell these materials cheaply or let them take up space in their inventory.
- ✅ Instead of selling them, players can turn them into more valuable resources through crafting stations.

2. 🛠️ Using Metallurgy and Quarrying Benches for Processing
- ✅ The process focuses on two crafting stations: the metallurgy bench and the quarrying bench.
- ✅ Each station uses a cheap reagent: crag shatter salts for the metallurgy bench and vein crack dust for the quarrying bench.
- ✅ These reagents can be purchased from the vendors at the respective stations.
- ✅ Stone is often undervalued in the market, allowing you to buy it cheap, process it, and resell the results.

3. 🎲 The Processing Game: Risk and Reward
- ✅ The processing system works on a one-to-one basis, meaning each stone can be converted into a higher-tier resource.
- ✅ Even with bad luck in the RNG, processing can result in profits.
- ✅ In one example, 32 epic basalt were processed, resulting in six epic rubies.
- ✅ Epic rubies sell for 50-60 silver on the market, providing a cash flow even with bad luck.
- ✅ In addition to rubies, processing also produces sand and stone shards that can be sold for silver.
- ✅ The epic coal obtained is also valuable for smelting or creating high-rarity commodity boxes.

4. 🚀 Maximize Experience and Level Up Quickly
- ✅ To maximize experience, it is recommended to use processing and experience scrolls before starting processing.
- ✅ Even without scrolls, processing provides a significant amount of adventurer and quarrying experience.
- ✅ Processing 250 regular stone (granite or basalt) can provide over 20,000 experience, which is excellent for the early levels.

5. 🔄 Market Loop Strategy and Scalability
- ✅ Players can move from settlement to settlement, processing stone and circulating through the markets to accumulate experience and profits.
- ✅ When the RNG favors you, even an epic ruby can turn into an epic experience scroll, which sells for approximately 60 silver.
- ✅ This strategy becomes a "cheat code" once you understand the system.
- ✅ The strategy can be applied to higher-tier materials like slate once the cities level up and the blacksmith buildings are unlocked.

6. ⚖️ Reasons for the Effectiveness of This Strategy
- ✅ Stone has an almost zero opportunity cost.
- ✅ Reagents and processing costs are affordable.
- ✅ Even bad RNG often results in a break-even point.
- ✅ The experience gains are massive, allowing you to level up crafting and adventure at the same time.
- ✅ The strategy scales to rarer materials later in the game.
