The Crucible: Week One Update



We’re one week into the Crucible now, and things are already shaping up nicely! The leaderboard shows Zerator and Zizaran, both on the Albion Europe server, making the early running, with Quin69, on Albion Americas, in a strong third place. A lot of creators have put together large guilds and gotten off to strong starts, though, with Metashi and Knekro – both of whom started slightly late – well placed with their guilds up around the 300-player limit.

As we move into week two, it’s going to be intriguing to see how the leaderboard develops. Some creators with smaller guilds have requested to be able to team up in order to have a better shot at taking down the leaders, and we’ve decided to allow this with strict limitations:
  • A maximum of five creators can team together
  • Any agreement on sharing prizes must be communicated by email to each creator’s campaign manager
  • You can only team up by joining an existing participating guild; you cannot create a new guild
  • It is not possible to merge guilds' points
  • Upon reaching 300 guild members after teaming up, you will be required to create and manage a second guild for members of your communities that are not able to join the original guild
  • Ingame alliances (using the Alliance feature) remain strictly prohibited
  • Possible exceptions to any of these rules must be discussed with your campaign manager

The Crucible runs until August 2. Follow coverage of the action on AlbionTV and on the participants' Twitch channels to see how things develop in the quest to win a Galatine Pair!
And don’t forget: a special Twitch Drop is available too. Until July 20 at 09:30 UTC, gifting 2 subs to any Crucible participant, AOCP Creator, or AlbionTV (twitch.tv/albiononline) will guarantee you the exclusive Brown Alpaca mount skin. Tune in today!

Get the Anniversary Vanity Bundles



Albion is turning eight and the celebrations are in full swing! To mark this grand occasion, not one, but three Anniversary Vanity Bundles are now available across all platforms.

Until July 29 at 10:00 UTC, you can step into battle clad in divine power, savage fury, or noble grace with the Anniversary Priest, Anniversary Barbarian, and Anniversary Paladin Vanity Bundles.

For $19.95 each, you’ll get a full wardrobe and matching mount skin, styled in majestic royal blue. And remember, all skins are account-wide and are usable across all your characters on any server.

Whether you walk the path of light, faith, or wrath, there’s a look for every kind of hero.

Ambassador Spotlight: Nazori

The AlbionTV interview series on twitch.tv/albiononline is back to introduce a new wave of AOCP Ambassadors joining us with the Abyssal Depths update. Kicking things off is someone who needs no introduction to regular AOTV viewers. That’s right, Nazori steps out from the War Report and into the spotlight this Friday, July 11 at 20:00 UTC!



[h3]Nazori[/h3]If you’ve tuned into War Reports or Invasion Day coverage on AlbionTV, you already know Nazori. As one of the show’s hosts, he’s got a knack for turning the chaos of the action into clean, understandable plays, and somehow making a failed bomb squad dive sound like a cinematic masterpiece.

He doesn’t just talk the talk, either. He leads the guild Elkonic on Albion Americas, alongside his wife Megz. Turns out watching thousands of fights really does teach you a thing or two, as Nazori's performance as both caster and commander proves. You might’ve already seen them in action in their famous 6v50 Faction Warfare video:

He’s all about those outnumbered fights on his streams, and he’s absolutely inseparable from his trusty Tombhammer. He may or may not hold the all-time kill record with it, but nobody’s brave enough to challenge him on it. His YouTube channel is stacked with PvP chaos and comedy, from his “Saladmancer” zero-to-hero series to the historic roam where every call had to be replaced with frantic Italian menu items, because nothing protects you from sniping like a well-called lasagna.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Now, as an Ambassador, he’s dialing things up on a more serious note by working on a full guide series for new players and planning some creative collabs with fellow creators. Catch him live on AlbionTV this Friday at 20:00 UTC, and don’t miss your chance to win a vanity skin handpicked by the man himself.

Albion’s Living Legacy Awakens



Having faced the infernal horrors below, it's time to surface for some fresh air, a slice of cake, and perhaps a moment of relaxation. But hold on –  ginormous statues have come to life again! To celebrate Albion’s 8th Anniversary, the Living Legacy event returns in full force, bringing oversized foes, celebratory chaos, and a whole lot of birthday flair to the surface.

Event times:
  • Albion Asia: July 10, 23:00 UTC – July 28, 23:00 UTC
  • Albion Europe & Albion Americas: July 11, 10:00 UTC – July 29, 10:00 UTC


[h3]Living Monuments[/h3]
Throughout the world, the towering statues of Albion’s legendary guilds are coming to life again, and they’re just as grumpy as ever. You’ll find them roaming Tier 5 or higher Zones, and smashing them to rubble can earn you exclusive, tradable rewards, available only during the event:
  • Eighth Anniversary Stallion (Riding Horse skin)
  • Anniversary Banner – Light Blue (Furniture item)
  • Anniversary Cake: Grants a +15% non-PvP Fame boost for 30 minutes
  • Chromacannon (Vanity Weapon skin – Fireworks!)


These statues appear in three escalating tiers. The bigger and nastier they are, and the more adventurers you bring along, the better your chances of scoring something rare:
  • Construct: Mid-tier statues with common loot. Suitable for solo players or small groups
  • Colossus: Stronger enemies visible on the local map, carrying greater rewards
  • Titan: Massive, map-spanning threats that scream “group up”, and drop the best loot of all


[h3]Anniversary Gifts[/h3]
Log in at any point during the event and we’ll send a free commemorative gift straight to your ingame mail containing:
  • Eighth Anniversary Avatar
  • Eighth Anniversary Avatar Ring
So grab some cake, smash some statues, and celebrate Albion’s birthday the traditional way – with fireworks, chaos, and a healthy dose of post-demonic stress relief. Happy anniversary!
