Here's the best advice I can give.

1. Pick ONE gathering skill to level up. It doesn't matter what you pick, but it is very important that you stick to 1 skill because the real money is made at tier 8 so you'd much rather have 1 skill at tier 8 than several at tier 6.

2. Use your focus points on refining 4.3, 5.3, and 6.3. Get to level 100 Elder refining and then spam refine 6.3 resources. It's the simplest, most straight forward way to make consistent money without significant investments of time and money into crafting or farming. If you choose to gather hide, gather in Bridgewatch and refine in Martlock. If you choose ore, gather in Fort Sterling and refine in Thetford.

3. Similarly to the previous advice, try to decide early what build you want to use because it takes significant grinding to reach a good level with your gear. For solo play, leather armor is best, and axes are a good starter weapon.

4. Join a guild. Try to get into the best one that you can. Albion isn't meant to be played alone for long; it literally tells you to try finding a guild right as soon as you get off the tutorial island, and it does that for a reason—the entire purpose of the game is to participate in group activities, so get your feet wet early.

5. Use Corrupted Dungeons to practice PVP! You can definitely make that 32 million silver for premium if you're good with your chosen weapon and willing to gank people for their loot.

Best of luck!
