Changelog: Rogue Frontier Patch 6Apr 23, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThis light patch brings a handful of balance tweaks, background optimizations, and minor fixes. Combat Balance Changes Arcane Staffs Evensong and Locus have fallen out of favor as Great Arcane has grown increasingly valued. Their cooldowns have been adjusted to promote variance in the arcane support slot. Dark Sphere (Evensong) Cooldown: 42s → 38s The Void (Malevolent Locus) Cooldown: 68s → 62s Time Freeze (Great Arcane Staff) Cooldown: 45s → 50s Frost Staffs As most Frost players have shifted toward Frozen Surge and sustain builds, some damage has been added back to Ice Shard to better reward cast speed-focused setups. Ice Shard (all Frost Staffs) Damage vs players: 125 → 130 Spears Cripple’s damage has been increased, as it was too conservative for a low-range, single-target ability that requires users to hold it for the right moment. Cripple (all Spears) Damage: 106.03 → 120 Swords Hamstring’s first cast has felt underwhelming for players, so its base slow duration has been increased, the time window to cast Heroic Leap extended, and the cooldown when not multicasting reduced. Hamstring (all Swords) 1st cast cooldown: 10s → 8s Time window duration: 3s → 4s Slow duration: 3s → 4s War Gloves Create Opening’s restrictive range has limited its effective output, so its baseline damage and resistance reduction have been increased to improve its overall value. Create Opening (all War Gloves) Damage: 72 → 80 Pierce: 0.1 → 0.12 Potions Hellfire Potion has been a powerful addition for builds with heavy CC but limited damage. Its damage against players has been too high, especially when paired with Smuggler’s Cape in IP-capped content, so it has been reduced. To keep the potion attractive, its healing reduction has been increased. Hellfire Potion Damage vs players (700 IP): 42.4 → 36 Damage vs players (800 IP): 64.5 → 54.8 Damage vs players (900 IP): 82.5 → 70.1 Damage vs players (1000 IP): 98.2 → 83.5 Damage vs players (1100 IP): 112 → 95.2 Damage vs players (1200 IP): 126 → 107 Damage vs players (1300 IP): 138 → 117 Damage vs players (1400 IP): 149 → 126 Healing received reduction: 35% → 50% Mounts Take Cover! and Charge! have been reworked to improve performance and address behavior issues. Take Cover!, Charge! (Command Mammoth) Buffs are now applied via an aura, and are removed when leaving this area Buffs are no longer purgeable High Command now correctly increases their effects for the full duration Fixes UI Fixes Fixed issue where the first tab of the Guild Details UI could appear empty Fixed issue where the 'Copied to clipboard' message would stay visible after closing the Guild Members UI Fixed issue where the ‘For Sale’ tooltip would stick to the cursor after closing the minimap Other Fixes Fixed issue preventing Warden Mastery Pack skins from being tradable on the Marketplace in Albion EuropeGuide: CraftingApr 21, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/7baf4ef1e97faf8f504e766ae05028e200cd03db.jpeg Behind every sword, boot, or cape that’s taken onto Albion’s battlefields, there lies a diligent crafter.

Tune in to twitch.tv/albiononline to witness history in the making as the AlbionTV crew brings you live coverage of the opening Invasion Day, complete with commentary and analysis: Albion Asia: April 19, 14:00 UTC Albion Europe: April 19, 18:00 UTC Albion Americas: April 20, 01:00 UTCWhat to Expect This Season? The Might requirements for Treasures, Crystal Creatures, Smugglers, and Gathering categories have all been reduced. For the first three categories, Season Point payouts were also adjusted to maintain balance in total output. Gathering, however, retains its full reward potential – giving smaller or economy-focused guilds greater opportunity to work up their way up the rankings. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/9bb7a2a94bc19325dc9213cf6fbbd8aa0c3f73ac.jpeg For more info, check out our Season 27 preview, and for the full schedule see this forum post.

The Rites of Spring Returns: Now with Even More Chocolate!Apr 14, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/233129f5d5bd9da457a9a24bda8d35b215a94d27.jpeg Spring has sprung in Albion, and the chocolate-fueled eggstravaganza begins soon! For two full weeks, the Rites of Spring returns in a cocoa-rich celebration. From Fame boosts to combat-ready bunnies, get ready for an event full of loot, fluff, and far too many types of eggs. After each server’s next maintenance, the chocolate rush begins: Albion Asia: April 14 at 23:00 UTC – April 28 at 23:00 UTC Albion Americas & Europe: April 15 at 10:00 UTC – April 29 at 10:00 UTCSnack for Fame This year, Albion’s bunnies have outdone themselves, scattering even more types of treats across the land. Find new Chocolate Eggs and crack them open to get a 15% Fame boost for 30 minutes. Just don’t try sitting on these – everyone knows bunnies don’t hatch from eggs… //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/fe26d93a31afb6ab98a2c7bc624d07c74c73f864.jpeg The Cottontail Mafia Returns Oh, who are we kidding? Of course bunnies hatch from eggs! Keep an eye out for the rare Cottontail Eggs during your egg-hunting adventures. These can be raised into Tier 8 bunny mounts with serious hop: the Spring Cottontail, a soft, snowy puffball of speed and bounce, and the rarer, darker Caerleon Cottontail, whose leap ends with a fearsome bite that roots enemies and sends them running. Don’t let the fluff fool you… these mounts bite back! https://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/624f050bc1743_720.mp4 Hunt for Spring Loot Wondering where to find all those eggs? Spring Treasure Chests will be popping up across the open world, packed with Chocolate Eggs and, if fortune favors you, a Cottontail Egg or two. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/85a6cd1548e1db89cb5c8d1b1622dff8a56f6c93.jpeg Meanwhile, Colored Eggs have also returned. These vibrant finds may also contain Chocolate Eggs and, on very rare occasions, a Cottontail Egg. But that’s not all: you might also uncover Chocolate bars to boost your Energy, and, most importantly, Surprise Eggs. Bring those to the Vanity Merchant and trade them for seasonal delights like the Bunny Stalker wardrobe, the Snow Bunny Hat that spawns cuddly companions, or the coveted Eggsecutioner – an overengineered contraption that lobs eggs and spawns critters on impact. Phew! At this point, we’ve got more eggs than sense, and more chocolate than any one adventurer should safely eat. It’s chaotic, it’s egg-cellent, and it all begins very soon. Hop to it! A New Batch of Crystal Weapons is Here!Apr 11, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/1b3925a40474f859512772a751b0dc4814ece472.png With Guild Season 26 concluded and rewards distributed, a new set of Crystal Weapons has been unlocked for crafting. Those who have earned the necessary Artifacts from Conqueror’s Chests can now forge and wield the latest additions to this powerful and prestigious category, each offering unique battlefield potential and high-end tactical versatility. Let’s take a closer look at what this trio of weapons brings to Albion’s battlegrounds: Flamewalker Staff (Fire Staff) Spell: Spontaneous Combustion https://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/67f3be6257861_720.mp4 This is fire magic with the heat cranked all the way up. Spontaneous Combustion transforms you into a living fireball, letting you crash through enemy lines while immune to new spells, damage, and crowd control. Enemies you pass will be set ablaze, and if you land on an opposing player, the spell's cooldown partially resets, making it ideal for follow-ups or escapes. Perfect for bursting single targets, it also has potential in team fights, offering fire users a bold tool for breaking through frontline defenses. Forgebark Staff (Nature Staff) Spell: Dual Nature https://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/67f3be8395447_720.mp4 Who says healers can't lead the charge? Dual Nature is a two-pronged spell, giving Nature Staff users the power to either anchor their team with Fortify – shielding and healing teammates while enhancing their own healing output – or flip the script with Ensnare to root enemies and boost your allies’ damage. The ability encourages fast decision-making and makes it possible to switch from support to disruption in the blink of an eye. A bold pick for healers who want to step up and shake up the frontline. Arclight Blasters (Crossbow) Spell: Flickershots https://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/67f3be514d589_720.mp4 Flickershots brings the boom, the bounce, and the bolt spam. This ability sends you dashing a short distance while unleashing a barrage of energy bolts in a wide radius, damaging enemies and granting resistances mid-move. You can recast it up to three times, but each use increases its cooldown – so pick your moments carefully. Whether you’re peppering the enemy backline or executing a quick in-and-out, this is a spell that rewards calculated aggression. This latest trio of Crystal Weapons brings fresh firepower to Albion’s elite battlefields. Designed for high-level PvP, each one offers a new way to outmaneuver, outplay, and outlast your opponents. For those already looking ahead: the next batch of Crystal Weapons is set to arrive with Albion’s next major update. Until then, it’s time to take to the battlefield with fire, magic, and unrelenting force. Ambassador Spotlight: ArgoldhApr 10, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/2621a656f90b9c3803b947f988d46364d969e623.png Back in March, AlbionTV (twitch.tv/albiononline) had the opportunity to sit down with none other than Argoldh for a chill, prime-time chat during Arena match breaks. With AlbionTV now on a short break during the off-season, we’re taking the opportunity to give this endlessly positive French streamer the spotlight he deserves. Argoldh YouTube: youtube.com/@Argoldh Twitch: twitch.tv/argoldh Main Focus: Outlands roaming & Faction Warfare (Lymhurst pride!)Argoldh is the kind of streamer that makes the Black Zone feel like a living room. A founding member of the Ambassador program, he’s been live almost every day for over a year at 5–6 UTC (except Mondays – because who streams on Monday mornings?). He’s become a go-to companion for Albion Europe’s early risers, gatherers, and solo adventurers looking for a place to hang out, ask questions, or just vibe in either French or English. As an Ambassador, Argoldh’s impact goes beyond content. He’s all about community. His streams are part survival guide, part social lounge, and are full of curious builds, spontaneous tips, and running commentary on why that guy over there is definitely not solo. He’s known for making new players feel welcome, breaking down decisions in real time, and posting beginner-friendly tutorials on YouTube to make Albion’s more intimidating content easier to approach. From chasing billions in Silver and Fame to leveling every magic weapon under the most absurd conditions possible, Argoldh’s goals may be ridiculous, but they’re always entertaining. He’s also on a personal quest to improve his English, so if you stop by and chat, you’re not just joining a stream, you’re helping a fellow adventurer level up IRL. Just expect a mix of different languages, dad jokes, and at least one viewer begging him not to make that pun. So if you’re looking for a stream that feels like a laid-back guild voice chat – where the advice is solid, the energy is chill, and the jokes are… well, still in beta – then Argoldh’s channel is the perfect place to park while you roam. Dev Talk: Meet the New Creative DirectorsApr 9, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsToday’s Dev Talk is a bit different than usual, because after 11 years at the helm of Albion Online, Robin Henkys is stepping down as Game Director. While he will continue to play a role in the development of the game, Robin is taking a step back from his day-to-day responsibilities in order to focus more on his family. Overall creative leadership will pass on to three longstanding members of the senior design team – Moritz Bokelmann, Michael Schwahn, and Jon Craft. Robin had this to say about the transition: “After 11 years as Game Director, I’ve recently stepped down from this responsibility and I’m passing it into new hands. We wanted to make sure this transition was handled with care, and most importantly, with continuity in mind. Rather than bringing someone in from outside, we’ve looked inward and promoted from within. The people stepping into the design leadership roles are long-standing members of our senior design team – people who have been in the trenches of Albion’s development for many years, and who many of you know well. They know this game inside and out, and they’ve helped me to shape its direction. I’m really thankful for the joy Albion has given me over the years, and I want to thank all of you for continuing to be a part of that. I’m really looking forward to seeing where the team takes the game from here. It’s an exciting time for Albion Online, after all. The game is bigger than it ever was, and there are more people working on it than ever before. I’m also still going to be a part of that. Even now, I’m working in the background on long term plans for the game, expanding the world of Albion and its backstory. I also won’t completely disappear from videos. In fact, please let us know in the comments what questions you may have about this transition, and we’ll make sure to answer them if we can.” Robin’s tenure as Game Director saw Albion Online go from strength to strength, with many important milestones along the way, and his impact has been immeasurable. The new creative leadership team bring boundless passion, experience, and talent to the game, though, and its future is in good hands indeed. For Robin’s full statement, and to hear from two of the new Creative Directors, check out the video above. And if you have questions, post them in the comments – we’ll be back with a new video to address them soon! Changelog: Rogue Frontier Patch 5Apr 7, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThis patch focuses on Guild Season content, introducing the next batch of Crystal Weapons and several balance changes to shake up the ZvZ meta ahead of the new season. New Crystal Weapons This patch introduces three brand-new Crystal Weapons, craftable from Artifacts awarded in Conqueror’s Chests at the end of Season 26. Each Crystal Weapon has its own unique, powerful spell: Flamewalker Staff (Fire Staff): Spontaneous Combustion transforms you into a raging fireball, flying towards your enemies and dealing damage to those in your path Forgebark Staff (Nature Staff): Dual Nature allows you to switch between fortifying your allies and ensnaring your enemies Arclight Blasters (Crossbow): Flickershots unleashes a barrage of energy bolts as you spin through the air, dealing damage and increasing your resistances Season 27 Changes The following categories in the Conqueror's Challenge have had their Might requirements per level reduced, while their Season Point output for each level has also been reduced to maintain overall Season Point payouts: Treasures Might needed per Level: 13,000 → 10,400 Season Points per Level: 20 → 16 Crystal Creatures Might needed per Level: 6,000 → 4,000 Season Points per Level: 30 → 20 Smugglers Might needed per Level: 34,000 → 27,200 Season Points per Level: 20 → 16 Gathering has also had its Might requirement per level reduced, to make it easier for smaller guilds to earn Season Points from this activity: Gathering Might needed per Level: 3,500 → 2,700 Other Changes Smuggler Crates are now visible on the minimap to everyone in the same region Players can now send only one message every two seconds in the following chat channels: Say Whisper Help Faction Faction Local All language channels The following automated chat message has been changed: “Player x has committed suicide.” → “Player x has died.” Text entered in the Marketplace UI search box now carries over when switching between the Buy and Buy Order tabs The Kills and Deaths tabs in the Player Stats UI now remember the previous dropdown selection on opening Combat Balance Changes Axes Despite multiple nerfs, Infernal Scythe has continued to dominate as the ZvZ damage dealer of choice, crowding out alternatives. The damage of the second swing has been increased but converted into a DoT to disincentivize zergs from running five per party. Bloody Reap (Infernal Scythe) 2nd swing now deals damage in 3 ticks over 2 seconds (doesn’t stack) Damage per tick below 40%: 85 (total damage 220 → 255) Damage per tick above 40%: 47 (total damage 120 → 141) Raging Blades has been a powerful component of axes’ domination in ZvZs, so its area has been reduced to limit its effectiveness in the largest fights. Raging Blades (all Axes) Radius: 6m → 5m Crossbows Energy Shaper has remained a niche pick in ZvZs. Its total channel duration has been reduced, while the damage per tick has been increased to make accurate beams deadlier in a shorter time. Divine Engine (Energy Shaper) Channel du...Watch the Final Invasion Day of Season 26Apr 3, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/ee58dbe7937da4b844f981d11da5ba5fdbf2dfeb.png Guild Season 26 is about to reach its dramatic conclusion, and with the final Invasion Day upon us, guilds across all servers are scrambling to make their last moves. This season was the first with the new shortened format, and it’s been wild from the very start. With only 59 days to fight and claim territories, the action has been fast and ruthless. Before the final reset shakes up the Outlands one last time, let’s take a quick look at how things stand: Albion Europe: The Woof Woof coalition started strong but faced overwhelming pressure from the massive GIRTH alliance. Their desperate defense of Deathwisp Bog turned into a bloody warzone, and despite holding out for several days, Woof Woof eventually lost their home zone and withdrew from the race for first place. Heralds of Valhalla stepped in to claim the top spot, but in a surprising twist, Woof Woof returned at the end of March with one goal: deny Contingent second place. With just 30,000 Season Points separating them, all eyes are on whether they can pull it off during the final point payout. Albion Asia: Peony Flower continues their reign with allies holding the second and third positions, making the top of the rankings look locked in. But behind the scenes, war has raged on. A fierce conflict between 1PIG and JIN has turned Rivercopse Fount and Runnelvein Sink into contended battlegrounds, while the XM Alliance has been launching bold attacks against Peony’s coalition. Could cracks be forming in the reigning power? These tensions may not change Season 26’s results, but they’re already setting the stage for a potentially explosive Season 27. Albion Americas: IFures continue their steady march toward their third season victory and that coveted third gem. This time, with their coalition member Outlimits in second place, there’s been no sign of betrayal… yet. However, the CHEF alliance has kept things interesting, waging open war and contesting territories in a fierce final push. With Make Albion Great Again still chasing second place, the pressure is on. Closing a 150,000-point gap would be a massive play, but this is Albion, and we’ve seen crazier!//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/8dbc205d07064988c93d207c5860d8c0b0847424.jpeg Watch the Battles Live on AlbionTV The final Invasion Day is more than just a reset – it’s the last chance for guilds to shift the rankings and cash in on high-value territories.

Known for her fiery ZvZ battles and her uplifting energy, she’s got a story worth hearing – and we’re here to give you a preview before she goes live. Hosshii_Japan YouTube: youtube.com/@hosshiijapan Twitch: twitch.tv/hosshii_japan Main Focus: ZvZ & Mists PvPHosshii brings a one-of-a-kind presence to the Ambassador program. Since joining after our last major update, she’s quickly become a bright and recognizable force in Albion’s competitive scene. Her high-energy ZvZ streams are packed with fast-paced action and set to a banging J-core soundtrack that keeps the spirits high and the chaos fun. She pulls viewers straight into the action with live caller comms, low delay, and a front-row seat to Albion's most explosive battles. But what really makes her stand out is the vibe – she’s always smiling and giggling (especially after ganking an unsuspecting gatherer in the Mists), which somehow manages to make even the most brutal clashes feel charming. Who knew that mercilessly killing your enemies could be so cute? Outside of ZvZ, Hosshii is documenting her growth in small-scale PvP across the Mists and Roads. She’s open about not having ‘pro-level’ mechanics yet, but that’s part of the charm. Her content captures the steady, honest journey of improvement, with all the heroic (and hilarious) moments along the way. She’s just being real, and her viewers love her for it. As an Ambassador, she’s working to shine a spotlight on ZvZ for Asian players, showing that anyone can jump in – and maybe even giggle their way through a frontline push. If you’re into high-stakes brawls, community vibes, and the occasional panicked burst of Japanese, Hosshii’s content is your new happy place (≧▽≦)!

Ambassador Spotlight: MomoMoniiMar 27, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/3a72caf265b28c5d2f344d227e0d8a5d9df6782b.png AlbionTV (twitch.tv/albiononline) is currently running a series of interviews with the AOCP Ambassadors, and this Friday is MomoMonii’s turn in the spotlight. Tune in Friday 28 at 20:00 UTC for a chat that promises chaos, karaoke, and PvP insights in equal measure. Check out this profile to get to know her before the show kicks off. MomoMonii YouTube: youtube.com/@momomonii Twitch: twitch.tv/momomonii Main Focus: Instanced PvPMeet Momomonii, one of the newest AOCP Ambassadors – and already a standout in Albion’s streaming scene. In just a short time, she’s built a name for herself as one of the most entertaining PvP creators out there. Why? Because she does what most players wouldn’t dare: singing mid-fight while throwing hands. Specializing in Corrupted Dungeons and 2v2 Hellgates, Momomonii thrives in Albion’s instanced PvP, where soft caps level the playing field and put the spotlight on skill, game sense, and creative tactics. Healing is her tune, but she’s just as dangerous on DPS – especially when using wild off-meta builds that keep every fight unpredictable and explosive (for her opponents, mostly). Her work as an Ambassador focuses on making Albion’s PvP more accessible, especially for newer players. She’s quick to hit pause on the karaoke to answer questions – in English, Polish, and Russian – offer practical advice, and share insights on everything from healing mechanics to build matchups and reading your opponent’s next move. Who said being a healer was boring? Definitely not Momo. So if you want sharp PvP tips, a chill stream atmosphere, and the sheer joy of watching someone hit both enemies and high notes at the same time, you've just found your new favorite content creator.

READ MORE Changelog: Rogue Frontier Patch 4Mar 26, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThis patch improves the Conqueror's Challenge reward system with better tracking and reward claiming for past seasons. It also includes combat balance changes, bug fixes, and gameplay improvements. Changes Conqueror’s Challenge Changes A new Conqueror’s Challenge History Tab has been added, allowing players to track their past seasons and claim rewards more easily. Players can now view their stats and rewards from previous seasons by selecting them from a dropdown menuWithin this new tab, rewards can be claimed through an improved UI: Conqueror’s Chest rewards now appear as a list of claimable items instead of a single chest Players can claim items individually or use ‘Claim All’ to collect as much as their inventory space allows Knight’s Vows and Avatars are sent directly to the inventory when claimed Other Changes Personal and Guild tabs within a Guild Bank are now visually distinguished Combat Balance Changes Frost Staffs To increase the consistency of Arctic Volley, each icicle has been adjusted to slow all targets hit, making it easier to land multiple volleys. Arctic Volley (Arctic Staff) Slow per hit: 10% for 1s (stacks up to 6 times) Holy Staffs As Holy Staff has been a dominant option in the 2v2 meta, the energy cost of Desperate Prayer has been increased to make energy denial a possible counter. Desperate Prayer (Holy Staff) Energy cost: 12 → 15 Nature Staffs Since Druidic Staff has fallen out of the meta following previous nerfs, the additional cooldown for recasting Spiritual Seed has now been removed to increase its healing output in group play. Spiritual Seed (Druidic Staff) Recast cooldown: 25s → 20s Shapeshifter Staffs Bloodmoon continues to be a problem for larger groups to deal with. To give enemies a better chance at bursting a Werewolf down, their max health while transformed has been reduced. Werewolf Transformation (Bloodmoon Staff) Transformation health: 1100 → 1000 Swords Infinity Blade’s popularity has increased since Limit Breaker stopped consuming its damage buff. To reduce its brawling power somewhat, its long buff duration has been reduced. Limitbreaker (Infinity Blade) Damage buff duration: 7s → 5s Helmets Smokebomb has been adjusted to no longer silence party members, as this behavior was difficult to control and led to frustrating gameplay experiences. Smokebomb (Hellion Hood) No longer silences group members Shoes The stun duration for Crush Charge – a highly telegraphed ability – has been increased to make it more rewarding, especially since it takes the place of a traditional mobility option. Crush Charge (Duskweaver Boots) Stun: 2.35s → 2.5s Capes Capes that primarily scale their cooldowns with Item Power have not provided enough value to warrant their increasing cost per tier. With significantly shorter cooldowns at higher tiers, these capes can now become a more reliable build component. Berserk (Keeper Cape) Base cooldown: 112.5 → 150 Cooldown reduction: 2.5s → 7.5s (95s → 98s at 700 IP, 73s → 30s at 1600 IP...Season 27 Is on the Way!Mar 21, 2025 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/cce8b5e9ab7439b9ba58a0be0f6be676744087ce.jpeg As Season 26 enters its final stretch, the next battle for supremacy is already in sight!

But what if you wanted to throw it all away? Lucky for you, there are plenty of dumb ways to do just that! Some are instant, some take effort, but they all end the same way – with you staring at the login screen, wondering what went wrong. We know you’d never fall for these… but let’s take a look at what not to do, just for fun. 1. Download Mystery Software (Enjoy the Free Malware!) You just wanted a harmless little mod, maybe some fun sound effects, or a purely academic armor removal mod for "historical accuracy". But oops! That “totally safe” download came with surprise perks like a free keylogger that sends your login info straight to a scammer, and a bonus backdoor for hackers to snoop around your PC. Want to stay safe? Stick to trusted sources. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/deb3cdb804dd0323f443e3e8e5c106b86a537633.png 2. Take the Phishing Bait Like a Champ "300m Silver giveaway in 15 mins! Just log in here with your Albion account!" – sounds great, right? Except that you’ve just given your credentials to xxDarkScammer420xx, who’s now flipping your hard-earned loot for pennies. Pro tip: Use unique passwords, and only use your Albion account to log into the game client or albiononline.com. Not that hard. 3. Trust That “Totally Legit” Currency Seller You found a site offering Silver or items at suspiciously good prices? That’s because it’s a suspiciously fantastic way to spend real money on getting your account banned. And guess what? That deal comes from stolen accounts and credit cards, so when you buy, you're not just fueling the phishing market – you’re swimming in digital dirty money. That’s like 9000+ points of bad karma. Here’s an idea for getting currency: play the game, trade with other players, or, you know, use the official shop – the one that doesn’t come with a lifetime ban. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/862248537c4b61e2d0e03d8dbf3f36fc05a44e6c.png 4. Let a Bot Do the Work for You A little automation can’t hurt, right? So you find an easy way to "help" yourself – be it a bot or a simple macro you program by hand. Except Albion isn’t one of those idle games where you level up without ever learning how to play. Here, actions matter, and we’ll notice if your character’s been chopping trees in the same spot for two weeks like an overachieving ghost. And when that happens, we’ll assume your account has left the need for a player behind. So unless you want your progress to vanish faster than a rat stealing a kill, maybe – just maybe – click your own buttons? 5. Find Creative Ways to Cheat We get it, you want all the glory and none of the hassle of actually having to be good at it. Maybe you tweak a few files, maybe you install that fancy radar tool. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, just the mi...
