How to Unlock the Golden Route in the Age of Great Navigation: A Guide

How exactly is the legendary Golden Route of the Age of Exploration activated? This is certainly a confusing matter for many new captains. The activation of the Golden Route in the game has certain prerequisites. In this article, I will give a comprehensive explanation of the entire process of activating this route. I hope that the content of this issue can help all the navigators.

If a player wants to trigger the Golden Route, they must ensure that during a particular trade route, the profit from a single commodity has reached five times or more. At this point, the Trade Guild will prompt the player to go to the Industrial Association for registration. After successful registration, the player's corresponding route will be set as the Golden Route.

Afterward, when the player performs trade missions each month for the next two years, they can receive additional profit bonuses. Moreover, the Golden Route will select one commodity and maintain the current highest-yielding route. If the number of routes exceeds the reserved ones, then the excess routes will replace the lowest-profit items. This mode creates a dynamically adjustable Golden Route for the players.

During the period of trading on the Golden Route, players only need to complete these three steps to achieve maximum profit.

First, players should prioritize short-distance high-frequency transactions, such as the food line from Oslo in the North Sea to Rørbuk. A short trip can yield 40,000 in a single transaction, with an annual profit of up to 980,000. In the game, this can be considered a path of small profits but large volumes.

The second point is that players should combine and sell specialty products. For example, players can sell silk from Hangzhou and cotton from Nagasaki together, with profits exceeding 300%.

The third point is that players should note that goods can be reprocessed. Players can use the production system to upgrade raw materials industrially. For instance, after obtaining hemp fabric, players can go to Amsterdam for processing to get more refined and higher-priced goods, with a single profit increase of at least 325%.

Of course, players also need to pay attention to some risk management and not rely on a single Golden Route. Since the routes are dynamically adjusted, players should reserve at least five routes for themselves.

The above content is the comprehensive guide to activating the legendary Golden Route of the Age of Exploration and the gameplay strategy that I have specially brought to you. In the game, to simulate real maritime trade wars, there is also a best-selling product list. However, this list has a certain lag, so players need to seize the opportunity to avoid losses. I hope that after reading this content, everyone can go into the game and experience the Golden Route~
