Albion Online

 
Your First Steps in Albion OnlineApr 24, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/37fe9cb36ef1298687b45043f6c2e354a13db50c.jpeg If you’re new to Albion Online, you might be wondering how best to get started after the tutorial. Albion is a huge, sandbox universe, with practically endless possibilities. But to set you on solid ground before you forge your own unique path, here are some helpful pointers to get you off to a smooth start. Expeditions and Dungeons Albion Online doesn’t offer set quest lines - rather, you decide what path you will take from the beginning. With that in mind, though, a good early objective is to increase your Fame (Albion’s equivalent of experience points), which will let you unlock more gear and abilities. Combat Fame can be gained by killing mobs, and an Expedition is a great way to do this early on. Just visit the Expedition Master near the center of any Starter Town or City - marked by a large glowing blue portal to begin. Expeditions offer plenty of Combat Fame, plus an additional reward for the first Expedition you complete each day. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/47a33977878bd043a0cc8d10a3ec8678b616502c.jpeg For a greater challenge, find a Solo Dungeon in the open world. A tier 3 dungeon should be easy to complete, and offer more Silver and loot than an expedition. Playing the Market After a few expeditions or dungeons, you’ll be able to unlock tier 3 or 4 weapons and armor, along with enough Silver to buy some new gear. You’ll also be able to equip a Riding Horse or Transport Ox, which are big improvements over your humble Mule. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/3239a2c63bfa318dc0ae95ddf11aa61c62d13952.jpeg This is also a good time to begin gathering resources. Buy a bag and some tier 2 gathering tools from the market, and journey out into the open world. Each of Albion’s five biomes contains three types of natural resource: Steppe: hide, fiber, ore Forest: wood, hide, stone Swamp: fiber, wood, hide Mountain: ore, stone, fiber Highlands: wood, stone, ore //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/9bb7a2a94bc19325dc9213cf6fbbd8aa0c3f73ac.jpeg The resources you gather can be used to craft weapons and armor, but at this stage it probably makes more sense to sell them at the Marketplace and buy any items you desire. PvP It’s not just mobs that you can fight in Albion Online - you can also go into combat against other players. PvP rules in Albion Online vary depending on the zone you are in. In blue zones, you cannot be killed or looted. In yellow zones, you can be attacked by other players, but not killed or looted - you only get knocked down. In red or black zones, you can be killed and lose the items you’re carrying, or kill your enemies and take their loot. Keep in mind that you will never lose your hard-earned Silver or Gold if killed or knocked down by players or monsters. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/243d7dd1ebda095f6ae5c0216646bbdddb1ac43f.png If you want to st...Last Chance to Join the Albion Europe Beta!Apr 19, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/f586a137f89da55c651166b6690c5db28ed84837.png The Albion Europe server is in Open Beta, and it’s absolutely teeming with life.

On Albion Europe this season - its first - will kick off on May 4th. For full season schedules and rewards, see this forum post. Territory Timer Changes With the launch of Albion Europe, this season sees some changes introduced to territories across all three servers, to optimize action times and better serve each region. For a rundown of these changes, click here. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/5fe9961db787d37b191deba6b6b8aa586ae465ce.jpeg Crystal League Changes Season 23 also sees some changes coming to Crystal League schedules on Albion Americas: 5v5 Crystal League Levels 1-5 reduced from four daily matches to two Levels 6-7 reduced from two weekly matches to one 19:00 - 21:00 UTC timers have been removed 20v20 Crystal League Levels 1-2 reduced from four daily matches to two Level 3 reduced from eight daily matches to four All timers have also been adjusted to match regional Prime Times on each server. For full schedules, see this forum post. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/dd063bb66f7eaaebd3a14199f8601fcf28569f3a.jpeg New Features This season brings some huge new developments in the form of Fortifications, Territory Activity Chests, Siege Banners, new territory layouts, and more. For full details on what’s coming, check out the Foundations update patchnotes, and watch this Dev Talk. Watch the Action Live As always, your tireless AlbionTV crew will be bringing you the action from the season kickoffs on all three servers. At 13:50 UTC on April 20 you can tune in to watch things get underway on Albion Asia. Then, at 00:50 UTC on April 21, they’ll be bringing you coverage of Albion Americas. And finally, at 17:50 UTC on May 4, you can watch the very first Invasion Day on the brand-new Albion Europe server! We hope you’re as excited as we are to see guilds upgrading their Fortifications and raising Siege Banners against one another for the first time, so join us this weekend to see these new features in action! The “Foundations” Update is Live!Apr 15, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/a223dfd54182c21ade978aec1a41480233a668a7.jpeg The Foundations are ready for a new era in warfare! With mighty Fortifications, rousing Siege Banners, overflowing Territory Activity Chests, and a lot more, Albion’s latest update lays the groundwork for fierce battles all across its lands. In anticipation of what’s about to unfold, we’ve produced a brand-new trailer for the occasion. Check it out here: Man the Barricades This update introduces Fortifications to territory warfare. Guilds can upgrade the walls, gates, and guards protecting their territories, providing progressively more staunch barriers to would-be attackers. Siege Banners, meanwhile, change the dimensions of territory battles, forcing attackers and defenders alike to rethink their tactics - attackers must carry a banner to the territory tower to be victorious, but defenders have the opportunity to end an attack early by controlling the banner themselves, until it’s destroyed. For more on these exciting new features, check out this Dev Talk. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/59d13a9a8dcbb7422c3e263421827979ce58ca79.jpeg New Incentives Territory Activity Chests accumulate loot based on activity levels in surrounding regions. This encourages guilds to be active around their holdings, and even to ensure outsiders operate in safety there. But with greater riches comes an incentive for rivals, who can loot the chests and make off with the spoils themselves. Foundations also introduces the next three Crystal Weapons in the game: the Arctic Staff, Phantom Twinblade, and Crystal Reaper. With unique, powerful spells, these weapons offer a prestigious reward for players who are successful in the Conqueror’s Challenge. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/baf7453dd7db33e06c38b58a8acbfeb8bb1d3a23.jpeg Further Features A much-anticipated Spectator Mode gives creators and streamers the ability to broadcast their own Custom Matches, allowing them to organize their own, exciting tournaments however they want to. Hammers have been refreshed with new spells, ready to strike down opponents on Albion’s battlefields. And a host of further features have been added across the game, such as solo Tracking improvements, new territory layouts, and a number of combat balance changes. Foundations is live now, so log in and check out these new features! For a full rundown of the changes in this update, read the patchnotes, and see the official update page for more info: LEARN MOREGuild Season Wrapup: 22 Americas / 4 AsiaApr 11, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/1486fe0d7fe6d2e1960ce0f9e41a98d7ab6aec35.jpeg The first Guild Season of 2024 has reached its conclusion, and it’s time to congratulate the winners! So hats off to IFures, who claimed their first title on Albion Americas, and PLAC, who successfully defended their crown on Albion Asia. Read on for a rundown of how the seasons played out… Albion Americas: IFures Rise to the Top Season 22 began with a flurry of activity, as two major forces announced they'd be gunning for top spot. Both IFures & Superiore charged into the season battling it out over castles, cores, vortexes, and anything else that would give Season Points. It soon became clear that this clash of the titans wouldn't just involve these two guilds, though, and it wasn't long until coalitions were formed on both sides. But within the first week Superiore suffered a devastating defeat in their homeland, Sunfang Cliffs, with IFures able to break through their lines and raid the territory, claiming the Raw Energy and causing a massive rift within Superiore. Within twenty-four hours this led to the guild’s collapse, seemingly opening the way for IFures to steamroll their way through the rest of the season. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/03395ffdd3a76068bc9810d4d3396660b866b7a4.jpeg It wasn't all plain sailing from here though, as another contender for the top prize, FAX, stepped up and threw their gauntlet into the ring. This sparked conflicts across multiple timers, but IFures were up for the fight and, in the final month of the season, managed to breach FAX’s homelands and raid their energy. This didn't come without its costs, though, as the FAX coalition was able to evict Contingent from their home of Darkbough Snag in the process. On the final Invasion Day, IFures managed to secure the title, ending their season with just over 1 million points, with FAX coming in second with 869,000 points, and B l a c k-L i s t third with 581,000 points. Albion Asia: PLAC Hold their Title Season 4 got off to a quieter start than previous seasons on Albion Asia, due to the hangover from the season-long war of Season 3. With guilds settling down and making pacts, PLAC was set for a straightforward victory. It wasn't long until things spiced up, though, and with the SQUAD alliance still out for blood against the LIGHT alliance, pockets of action flared up. Raids gradually gathered pace, along with battles for castles and vortexes, and it wasn't long until a full-scale war broke out again. This lasted until the end of the season, with both sides putting up some incredible battleboards. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/62a96ad356bc67c5080db882809cc431fba85558.jpeg But, midway through the season, it wasn't SQUAD that LIGHT were looking to blind, but rather Vermin and their comfortable hold on second place. RADIANT looked to loosen their grip and, after a week of raids, Vermin soon conceded and RADIANT were on the...The Albion Europe Open Beta is Live!Apr 10, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/37fe9cb36ef1298687b45043f6c2e354a13db50c.jpeg The Albion Europe Open Beta is now here, for anyone who wants to join!

Please also note that the ingame store and Gold Market will be unavailable in the Beta. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/26117d0fa4c06675a7f42fb3c420969acdbd742a.jpeg The Albion Europe Open Beta runs until 10 UTC on April 23, so take this opportunity to experience a fresh rush on the new server, and earn your Duelist vanity set!Crystal Weapons are Here!Apr 8, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/a1df58574894e6b882cda6507728b7bd34fb8c2c.jpeg The first Guild Season of 2024 has come to an end, and players are receiving the first Crystal Weapon artifacts from their Conqueror’s Chests! This means that across Albion those who earned these items through their season prowess can begin crafting, and fighting with, the first weapons in this new and prestigious series. With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at these three new weapons, to see what you can bring to the battlefields of Albion. Infinity Blade Infinity Blade is a Crystal Weapon in the Sword line, with the devastating Limitbreaker spell. http://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/6604201e5df18_480.mp4 Limitbreaker lets your character rush at whirlwind speed towards your enemies, until you unleash two lethal swipes of the weapon. The first silences and damages your victim, while the second deals an additional dose of damage for good measure. Rift Glaive Rift Glaive is a Spear weapon which can decimate crowds with the Razor’s Edge spell. http://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/66041fde3828a_720.mp4 Casting this spell drives your character forward into your enemies, knocking them back and dealing some serious damage. This damage increases the more Spirit Spear charges your character has, giving you the potential to unleash some serious devastation. Astral Staff For those who embrace the arcane arts, Astral Staff is an Arcane Staff Crystal Weapon, and its unique spell is the awe-inspiring Starfall. http://assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/video_/media/660439898d56a_720.mp4 Starfall calls down a shower of shooting stars around you, periodically inflicting magical damage on your adversaries. This celestial storm cannot be interrupted, and also increases your character’s Resilience Penetration as it imbues you with the power of the heavens. The Foundations update on April 15 will introduce the next three Crystal Weapons: Arctic Staff (Frost Staff), Phantom Twinblade (Quarterstaff), and Crystal Reaper (Axe). Players can begin to earn the artifacts for those in Season 23, which also sees some huge developments arriving in the form of Fortifications, Siege Banners, and Territory Activity Chests. For some of the other changes coming to Guild Seasons, click here, and for a full season schedule, see this forum post. Upcoming Guild Season ChangesApr 4, 2024 - Community Announcements//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/7f55ae8006b1f0c456141500c734abfd0bf10d85.jpeg The current Guild Season is reaching its climax, and it’s time to start preparing for the next. With the launch of the Albion Europe server on April 29, some significant changes are coming to the way seasons operate. Read on for an overview of these changes, so you can get ready to assemble your forces and fight your way to glory. Season Names Starting with the upcoming Guild Season, we’re simplifying the naming conventions for seasons across the three servers. For this reason, next season will be called Season 23 on all servers, avoiding a confusing situation where the season has a different name on each server. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/ba6757ec1816af3d2b34bf1f018869ab9ac247ab.jpeg Prime Times With the launch of Albion Europe, we’re taking the opportunity to rework Prime Times across all three servers in order to better suit activity periods on each. Each server will now have six Prime Time slots (rather than seven), and the windows on Albion Americas are now more condensed, encouraging constant action from start to finish. Albion Europe’s Prime Times fit this pattern, covering ten hours in total. Here is an overview of Prime Times across the servers (click to expand): //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/d0d4089dc4f7decd32f8b1f7fafade189b77f40b.jpeg As you can see, Castle and Castle Outpost chests unlock one hour before each server’s Prime Time window, one hour after, and on every hour between Prime Times. With this in mind, the lock duration of Castle chests has been reduced from 120 to 60 minutes. Additionally, it should be noted that World Bosses on Albion Asia will now spawn every even-numbered hour (UTC), to avoid colliding with the maintenance window. Season Winner Statues With three servers from Season 23 onwards, Season Winner Statues will be the same across all servers, and will no longer be designed by the guilds themselves but rather by the Sandbox Interactive art team. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/4cc727135faacdf65f74bfa8fd2668ab7e34b85e.jpeg With Fortifications, Siege Banners, and all the other changes coming to territory warfare with the Foundations update, Season 23 promises to be truly action-packed. For the season schedule and rewards, check out this forum post. See you on the battlefield!

And you can watch the denouement on AlbionTV as guilds struggle for their spot in the final rankings!

Finally, at 00:50 on Sunday 7 April, Robinhoodrs, Shozen, and Tazzik will be your hosts as the action ramps up with the second round of invasions on Albion Americas. With the window to earn this season’s Crystal Weapon artifacts running out, and energy payouts coming up soon after Invasion Day, there’s a lot at stake out there. So tune in this weekend to watch the climax to this thrilling season! Dev Talk: FortificationsApr 2, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsThe Foundations update launches April 15, and promises to reshape warfare in Albion Online. At the heart of this update are three major new features coming to territories: Fortifications, Siege Banners, and Territory Activity Chests. In this Dev Talk ahead of their release, Game Director Robin Henkys sits down to give more information on these features, and what they’ll mean for the game going forward. Fortification Upgrades At the beginning of the next Guild Season, all territories will receive an updated layout: There are five possible layouts These offer different natural obstacles and possibilities for Fortification upgrades Territories generate Fortification Points: This starts at the beginning of each season They reset at the end of each season The amount generated in a territory depends on its Energy Level Players with the “Manage Fortifications” guild right can use these to upgrade a territory’s Fortifications. There are three elements which can be upgraded: Guards, Walls, and Gates. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/c64e1a7176703e0381903bce2ec54c4b8e22fc62.jpeg Guards Clicking a guard opens the Upgrade UI for that group of guards: This displays the cost and effects of upgrading Once agreed to, the Silver is immediately taken from the guild account The guard group then upgrades immediately A guard group can only be upgraded once a day //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/06be687998a30439d260bce379dddb2d7dbab92f.jpeg Walls and Gates Clicking a wall or gate will also display their upgrade group and UI: This displays the cost and effects of upgrading However, upgrades take effect after the following Prime Time This ensures that walls and gates can’t be upgraded in response to a declared attack During Prime Time, walls and gates prevent enemies from entering your territory: Enemies need to break through these defenses with a Siege Hammer Defenders can also use Siege Hammers to repair walls and gates Upgraded walls and gates have more hit points, buying the defenders more time to repair them //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/5abd2d32b181dabcbd876a180a71a94863319d92.jpeg Fortification Gates Each gate has a crystal embedded in it, which allows defenders to teleport through the gate for a quick retreat: Destroying the crystal removes this ability for the rest of the battle Once the crystal is destroyed, the gate can take damage Gates can be repaired, but crystals cannot //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/eeb368b79f8bd848c1745cb2e5f49ddf6cc01804.jpeg Gates can be opened: By defenders with the “Open/Close Fortification Gates” permission By attackers who are inside the gates Defenders will therefore need to be careful when opening gates, as attackers can try to rush inside. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/97f93cae8af1d49a2de561481c3f690939feddc6.jpeg Siege Banners Territories are shielded from attack by the Territory Crystal for most of the day.

On April 15, Foundations will launch, bringing with it a host of new developments and improvements. Fortifications are upgradable defensive features for territories, and Siege Banners offer possibilities for attackers and defenders alike. Territory Activity Chests offer enticing rewards for territory owners - as well as their rivals. New Crystal Weapons are coming, with a range of powerful spells. And a Spectator Mode allows Albion’s creators to broadcast Arena battles and tournaments. With all this and more, Foundations opens the gates to new forms of warfare in Albion. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/451d5ca1489731a7a73517cf3ae7ef7e7e6c4bcb.jpeg Raise the Banner Fortifications offer formidable defensive structures for guilds of all sizes, and will bring forth new tactics and strategies in territorial combat. These structures, and their guards, can be further upgraded by guilds who invest the time and resources, becoming mighty barriers against those who seek to raid and conquer. In addition, Siege Banners complement this, adding a new twist to territory fights by providing opportunities for attacking and defending guilds alike. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/e5b8e2e96e69701d179d3e0cdefb828cd6f88e5e.jpeg Territories Transformed Territory Activity Chests encourage constant activity around territories - but the more value they accrue, the more enticing they become to potential attackers. Territories in the Outlands also now have new layouts. Meanwhile, Prime Times have been adjusted across the different servers, to provide more consistent action for each region. //assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/a1df58574894e6b882cda6507728b7bd34fb8c2c.jpeg Let Battle Commence New Crystal Weapons are coming, offering an array of powerful and prestigious prizes to top season performers. Hammers are getting fresh and formidable new spells too, shaking up the combat meta.
