[h3]How to participate in the Adventurer's Challenge[/h3]
The Adventurer's Challenge is a monthly event where you can earn exclusive rewards such as mounts, Tomes of Insight, bags of Silver, and more. By gathering, fishing, farming, and defeating monsters, you'll earn Challenge Points that fill daily, weekly, and monthly progress bars. To track your progress, open the Adventurer's Challenge UI by clicking on the Activities menu.



While only Premium players can unlock the Monthly Rewards (Avatar Ring, Mount) and Weekly Rewards (Challenge Chests), anyone can claim the Daily Rewards, which include 10 Learning Points and a Tier 4 Tome of Insight. Non-Premium players also make progress on all reward tracks, so when you’re ready to unlock Premium, your earned rewards will be waiting for you!

On November 2, Season 25 kicked off with a vengeance. Across all servers, the first Invasion Day saw new leaders emerge and rivalries reignite. Here's a quick recap of what's happened so far:

• Albion Europe: Take Care has taken the lead, proving that they're ready to carry the torch of the BOBER coalition that helped POLSKA GUROM win last season. With over 250,000 Season Points already under their belt, they're off to an impressive start as they push for their first season win.
• Albion Asia: A familiar storyline is playing out in Albion Asia, where Upper Class – key allies of last season's champions, One Gin – are now leading the way. With over 400,000 Season Points already earned, they're on track to break all previous records and become the first guild to surpass 2 million points in a single season.
• Albion Americas: In the Americas, IFures coalition member PIVAS is making a strong push for their first season title. However, The Lonely Men are keeping the pressure on, following close behind, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown between these two powerhouses as the season unfolds.
