In Anno 1800, there are several ways you can quickly make money. The easiest way to start making money in Anno 1800 is to establish different trade routes with islands. There are a lot of items that you can produce and sell to other islands for a high price.

One of the first trade routes you will need to establish is with the prison at Eli Bleaksworth Harbor. The prison on the island has a demand for soap and is willing to pay 384 gold coins per soap.

Establish a trade route with the prison and you will be able to send 17 soap per shipload to the island. This process can be repeated every minute, and the island will not stop buying soap from you. 

You may need to develop a second island that only focuses on producing soap for the prison. Keep selling soap until you have managed to save just over 500 000 gold coins or have unlocked “Enbesa”.

With the gold coins that you have accumulated, it’s time to start buying and selling pocket watches to other islands. Ketema’s Harbor has a demand for pocket watches and is willing to buy them for 13 312 gold coins per watch.

You can purchase pocket watches from Archibald Blake’s Harbor for 8 320 gold coins each. He has 150 pocket watches available at the time and will continually produce more pocket watches during the game.

Buy watches from Archibald Blake’s Harbor and sell them for a higher price to Ketema’s Harbor.  This trade route will allow you to triple the amount of gold coins that you have, and Ketema’s Harbor will continue to purchase watches from you.

The concept of buying items from one harbor and selling it to another for a higher price will make you money with other items like potatoes and barley.
