A fearsome new presence has appeared in the Outlands: the Avalonians. This ancient order from Albion's past has returned to reclaim their land, using a mysterious energy drawn from deep in the earth. While their ultimate plan is unknown, it will have world-altering consequences for Albion.

The Avalonian forces stalking the Outlands are currently limited... but as the season proceeds, they are sure to increase not only in number, but also in variety. Prepare yourself for a battle that will alter the very foundations of the world of Albion.

The mysterious energy harvested by the Avalonians gives them near-divine powers. Defeat Avalonian mobs and world bosses to claim this energy for yourself, and then bring it to the Energy Manipulator in any of the Royal Cities to enhance various foods and tools or create an all-new mount. Avalonian foods combine meat-based stews and sandwiches with Avalonian Energy to add one additional stat that varies depending on the food. Avalonian tools give improved gathering yields for all resources, including fish. And finally, combine a Saddled Swamp Dragon with enough Avalonian Energy to produce the fearsome Avalonian Basilisk, a fast, strong mount with a powerful electric discharge spell that reduces enemies' attack and move speed.


This season, your guild will have a new way to earn season points: by taking down Avalonian Mage World Bosses. These mysterious members of the Avalonian order have harnessed energy into powerful beam attacks that deal massive damage. These bosses appear on the world map, and can be killed for Season Points starting with the beginning of the season on Saturday, November 16. (Recommended for groups of 10.)


A unique season deserves unique rewards. The higher your guild ranks, the better the rewards - check out what you can earn:

• Crystal Rank: Avalonian Avatar + all following rewards
• Gold Rank: Avalonian Avatar Ring + all following rewards
• Silver Rank: Small Caerleon Realmgate Furniture Object + all following rewards
• Bronze Rank: Outlands Map Carpet + all following rewards
• Iron Rank: Pile of Tomes

Additionally, guilds that finish in first, second or third place overall will be immortalized in a one-off memorial statue in Caerleon. This statue will not be part of Conquerors' Hall, and will instead appear in a unique location of significance. And as always, the first-place season winner will have a crystal ornament added to their guild logo.

The new Outlands map coming with the Queen update will bring open-world territory fights to Guild Seasons. A major part of this new territory control system is zerg debuffs, which will cause allied groups larger than a designated size to be less powerful, with the debuff increasing the larger the group gets. We've been hard at work on this system, and we already plan on introducing it with the new season on November 13.

For the most up-to-date information on zerg debuffs from our development team, see the post on our forums.


Additionally, we are planning to deploy another new feature with this standalone season: alliance point sharing. Under this system, season points scored by a guild will be split between the guild and their alliance, with the alliance's share distributed between all guilds in the alliance. For more details and the most up-to-date information about alliance point sharing, please see this forum post.

We look forward to seeing how this affects the game in the upcoming standalone Season and we look forward to your feedback!

Allhallows is in full swing, and the mysterious new standalone event season starts November 13. That can only mean one thing: it's time for a Fame Boost!

Here's everything you need to know:

• Starting with maintenance on Monday, November 4, the Mists of Albion buff will be automatically enabled for all players
• Automatically grants an additional 25% Fame for all activities
• Excludes PvP Fame and Fame earned from Tomes
• Ends at maintenance on Monday, November 11

Don't miss out on this opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season, unlock new gathering and crafting tiers, and raise your combat specs sky-high!

Allhallows is already in full swing, and November has arrived - it's time for the next Adventurer's Challenge! For all of November, the Grim Challenge lets you earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your own Pest Lizard. We've also introduced Adventurer's Tokens, which let you trade in unclaimed Avatar Ring unlock items for a selection of new rings. Read on for all the details!








Since adventurers who took part in last year's Grim Challenge may have already unlocked this month's Avatar Ring, we've given all players the option to trade in Avatar Rings that have not yet been unlocked for Adventurer's Tokens at the Vanity Merchant. Here's how it works:

• Players can now trade in Adventurer's Challenge avatar border unlock items at the Vanity Merchant to receive an Adventurer's Token
• Each border gives one Adventurer's Token, which is bound to the same character
• The first item available for tokens will be a new Adventurer's Avatar Border, which will cost 2 tokens and also be bound to your character
• Additional new items purchasable for tokens will be introduced in the coming months

Log in, head out into the open world, and unlock these fabulous prizes - and don't forget about the week-long Fame Boost running November 4-11!

Laborers can now be converted into Laborer Contracts. This allows laborers to be moved between buildings and zones, as well as to be bought and sold via the Marketplace. NOTE: contracts will allow you to move, sell or trade the laborer at its current tier, but converting a laborer into a contract will cause it to lose its progress toward the next tier, as well as any journals in progress and unclaimed resources.

For more details about Laborer Contracts, please see this forum post.
