Albion Online News

A new Guild Season is in full swing, and Albion's open world is more alive than ever. The competition is fierce, so for those looking to claim glory, a brave companion by your side is worth its weight in gold. And while huge mounts may dominate the field of battle, a small mount with a big heart can turn the tide…

Get ready to ride out into the fight with a new premiere mount skin, available next week in the web shop and in-game store! Stay tuned for more details…

Albion can be a harsh land, where the winner takes all while the loser limps back to town. Each victory is an accomplishment, so when you do get a hard-earned PvP kill, Victory Emotes are the perfect way to leave your mark on the battlefield! These celebratory flourishes were first introduced with the Into the Fray update, and with today's patch, there are now six new emotes to choose from: Platform Banners (one each for mobile, PC, and Controller), Sword, Hammer, and Hellgate.

Victory Emotes can be equipped in the in-game Appearance menu, and offer a wide variety of audiovisual effects that play automatically upon killing another player. Each time the effect is triggered, one charge is consumed. Each Emote can be recharged in a variety of ways.



[h3]How to get Emotes and Charges[/h3]
Charges for all Victory Emotes are purchasable with Gold in the Appearance menu, and come in different bundle sizes and prices depending on the Emote’s rarity. In addition, you can also get charges through Twitch Drops – for more info on those, click here.

For more details about Victory Emotes and how they work, see this forum post.

Pick up some Victory Emotes and charges today and get ready to show off your skills!

In the still air of a fall night, a stable door creaks open. Across the hard earth, four steps can be heard, and silhouetted against the moonlight swings a cape. It must be… Horsferatu!

A new referral season has crept upon us, and from now until December 1 you can claim this brand-new mount skin when you bring some fresh blood to Albion (i.e. refer a friend). Transforming your Riding Horse base mount into the terrifying equine of legend with fanglike protrusions and blood-red saddle, you will descend upon your enemies with a ruthless determination. And once you’ve unlocked this fearsome beast it can be used by all characters on your account. Hissss!



The current referral season lasts until maintenance on December 1, so refer a friend now and claim your rewards!

[h3]How to Earn Seasonal Referral Rewards[/h3]

• Send your referral link, which you can find here, to a friend. (You must be logged into your account on the website to view this page.)
• Your friend registers an account and starts playing Albion Online (preferably along with you!).
• The first time your friend purchases at least 30 days of Premium, they will trigger a reward for you.
• On top of that, for your very first referral ever, you'll receive a T8 Recruiter's Pile of Tomes, worth a massive 200,000 Fame.

Fall has come to the world of Albion... the shadows are growing longer... and the Harvest Challenge is back! For the entire month of October, earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get spooky loot, and claim your very own Spectral Bat.

[h3]Reap What You Sow[/h3]

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!
