i just started gathering and i'm currently t4 in ore gathering equipment. how can i speed up my progress? i've been seeing some people say go to black zone while others say it's better to farm in blue and yellow zones for fame. also, what can i do with the gathered materials? is it better to refine them then sell or just sell it raw? i don't have premium and i don't think my refining is high level in particular, so i'm having doubts on whether or not the tax and effort is worth it. and lastly, at what tier, in what zone, and using what equipment am i finally gonna see stable profit? (atleast 1m per hour)

all help are appreciated!

Hello! I'm a returning player and the first thing I've noticed is the massive premium inflation using silver. As such, I am curious about the other significant updates and changes in the game. I don't need a whole lot of details and info, just some things that can help me progress better.

For context, I started playing since 2023 and have yet to spend a single penny on premium or anything. I quit a year ago and now that I have some free time again, I want to grind and re-visit the game.

So, what are the most recent best ways to make silver as a solo player (sometimes with my cousin), and without spending real money? Also, i've noticed that the quick learn doesn't work the same way as before, that sucks hahaha (I tried giving gathering a chance again but because of the new auto learn feature that just gives you 5x fame instead of instantly upgrading after reaching a certain threshold, i gave up lol)
