Albion Online News

This October, while everyone else is riding their spooky mounts, bring some fun back to Albion with the Jester Horse! Refer a friend and you'll unlock this goofy Riding Horse skin, complete with jingling bells and a cap fit for a fool. Just be careful your horse doesn't slip on a banana peel – or worse, trip over its own punchline. Once unlocked, this joyous skin can be used by all characters on your account on that server.

The Harvest Challenge is here, casting long shadows over Albion as Allhallows approaches. In the darkness, the elusive Spectral Bat awaits. If you’re brave enough to seek it, you can unlock this ghastly mount and other haunting rewards by earning Challenge Points through activities in the open world. Will you be in time to reap the harvest of shadows before the season fades into darkness?

SPECTRAL BAT: This month's Challenge offers another chance to claim the amazing Spectral Bat. In addition to its spooky appearance, this winged menace comes with a powerful Flicker spell that allows you to jump to a target location in the blink of an eye. (Note: like all mounts, the Spectral Bat cannot fly over obstacles or gaps.)



AVATAR RING: Adventurers who rack up enough total Challenge Points will also earn the Harvest Challenge Avatar Ring, featuring a pair of eerie, grinning skeletons. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this avatar border for one character, or can be traded to the Vanity Merchant for one Vanity Token.



SEASONAL SPECIALS: All month long, reach weekly point totals to unlock Harvest Challenge Chests. Along with valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes, Silver, resources, and other loot, you'll also have a chance to unlock six seasonal furniture items: the Scary Pumpkin Lantern, Friendly Pumpkin Lantern, Halloween Lantern, Halloween Cauldron, Halloween Scarecrow, and Halloween Pyre.

As always, you can earn Challenge Points by gathering, fishing, farming, and killing monsters. Points count simultaneously toward a daily bonus, a weekly unlockable chest, and the monthly mount and avatar ring reward. So log in, head out into the open world, gather points, and claim these rewards while they last!
