Atlantica Guide - Trading books for millions : Atlantica Online Guides | Free ATL Guides

This is pretty easy, and most people in the game know about it, but some don't.

There is an NPC named Goncourt, who will exchange a skill book that you give him + 1000 gold, and in return give you either a modern, medieval, or ancient book box. Modern book boxes contain [beg] books, medieval contain [int] and ancient contain [adv] books. These books can be a book for *any skill* in the game.

So the trick is to grab yourself about 500k worth of gold, go and buy up all the cheapest [beg] books you can 300-400 should do to begin with, and then ask around to find Goncourt or go to Livingstone outside of Bucharest.

Once you have found Goncourt just start trading him books. Do not open any of the modern book boxes until you have about 300-400 of them saved up. Open up any of the modern or ancient book boxes. Depending on the books you get, you either trade these back in, or keep them for yourself or selling. With a little luck, you will have millions a day from doing nothing but clicking.

I'm on macedon server, and some of the high selling [int] and [adv] books are:
Light Slash [adv] - 700k
Meteor Storm [adv] - 500k
Beast Summon [adv] - 700k
Ice Ridge Axe [adv] - 700k
Deep Insight [adv] - 350k

The list goes on, but just check the market before hand to find out which are the high sellers and keep them, or keep them for your own mercs and save bundles on gold. As you can see, just one of those books pretty much recoups any loss you took from the start. Ancient book boxes have about a 15% chance to be obtained from exchanging, so 300 books gives ~45 ancient book boxes. Some books are horribly cheap and just need to be traded back, but some of the ones above can net humongous gains.

Yay! Nice guide.

Great find premium granted and moved to confirmed.

well guess u copied the next from somewhere? Cause since the new patch it costs 10k not 1k to exchange a book (or am i wrong?)

The onliest bad thing about it, is that u need to click a lot... which get kinda annoying:

Open Goncourt Window -> Select the Books -> Press Exchange -> Confirm the Trade with pressing "Yes" -> *done* -> Select the Book -> Press Exchange -> Confirm -> done -> .............................

ANd since it is a wandering NPC u can't just stay at the trade window.

No, still just 1k I trief it yesterday. But it is same as Box opening that you can just exchange 300 times each day.

exp and crafting books cost 10k to trade, but its 10 of them for 1 of the higher books, skill books are still the same.

ah thought the skill box were changed to 10k too... ok sry ^^

From TheOnlyOne, there's some macros in his bot: including a macro for book exchange and bot opening. These 2 together can make ur day go much faster.

Gonna give this a go....and Autoclick is your best friend in this situation.

good guide.

i think there's a typo, when you say open up any of the modern or ancient boxes i think you mean medieval and ancient.

generally i dont feel like its a good idea to bother opening modern boxes, they barely turn a profit anyway.

Ofcourse you open modern, if you get a Warcry you have a big gain as even Warcry [beg] is expensive.

And if you get nothing good, just exchange it again, so you simply open everything.

wow, the money makes up for the annoying auto-move to goncourt LOL

i ve tryied this one a few times and i realized that if u exchange int books or adv books the rate of getting an ancient book or medieval book is highly increased
