Albion Online News

With the end of Season 28 today, players are cracking open their Conqueror’s Chests to see what rewards they’ve earned for their efforts over the last two months. And amongst those rewards are valuable Artifacts which players can use to craft three brand-new items: Crystal Offhands.

Crystal Offhands build on the recently-completed Crystal Weapons line with three powerful new options for your offhand slot – the Unbreakable Ward, Blueflame Torch, and Timelocked Grimoire:

• Unbreakable Ward (Shield): A strong defensive option, significantly buffing your energy, defense, and healing received
• Blueflame Torch (Torch): Improves your healing cast and crowd control resistance
• Timelocked Grimoire (Tome): Improves cooldown rates and cast times, making you a relentless opponent in combat

These items will be making their way onto Albion’s Marketplaces and battlefields today, and we look forward to seeing their impact ahead of the start of Albion’s next Guild Season on September 13!

This month’s Referral Season brings back the most ostentatious Transport Ox skin: the Luxury Cart. Designed for those whose egos are as heavy as their inventory, this extravagant transport turns your humble beast of burden into a rolling throne of indulgence. With crimson cushions, a rooftop protecting your delicate skin, and a dedicated lackey doing the pulling, there’s no better way to flaunt your wealth.

• Refer 1 Friend: Luxury Cart mount skin
• Refer 3 Friends: A T7 Pile of Tomes worth 100,000 Fame
• Refer 5 Friends: A T8 Pile of Tomes worth 200,000 Fame
• Bonus for your first-ever referral: A T8 Pile of Tomes worth 200,000 Fame

Invite a friend before the month ends and claim your rightful place – gliding through town in comfort like the merchant royalty you are.

This month’s Adventurer’s Challenge is stacked with Heretic-themed rewards, straight from the minds of Albion’s most explosive faction. Among them is their most unhinged creation yet: the Heretic Combat Mule. Earn Challenge Points through open-world mayhem to unlock this barely functional combat beast, bolted with creaky wooden cannons and fueled by pure madness. Crack open chests stuffed with volatile surprises, and ride like you're one loose screw away from glory. But hurry! That makeshift cannon doesn't look very stable...

[h3]Mighty Mules and Heretic Decor[/h3] HERETIC COMBAT MULE: This month's Challenge brings back the Heretic Combat Mule, a war machine from the twisted minds of Heretic saddlers. The Combat Mule fires a powerful cannon shot that knocks back and slows targets, but watch out for its massive recoil!

AVATAR RING: Adventurers who rack up enough total Challenge Points will also earn the Heretic Challenge Avatar Ring. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this crazed, ramshackle avatar border for one character, or can be traded to the Vanity Merchant for one Adventurer's Token.

SEASONAL SPECIALS: All month long, reach weekly goals to unlock Heretic Challenge Chests. In addition to valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes, Silver, and resources, you'll also have a chance to unlock special furniture items like the Heretic Lantern, Heretic Junkpile and Heretic Scarecrow.

[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.

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!

AlbionTV continues its interview series bringing the spotlight to the AOCP Ambassadors introduced with the Abyssal Depths update. This week, the spotlight is on Megz. Tune in to twitch.tv/albiononline this Friday, August 29 at 20:00 UTC for a live interview with one of Albion’s most community-driven and warmhearted streamers.



[h3]Megz[/h3]

• Twitch: twitch.tv/megz
• Discord: discord.gg/UN5aXmpEdd
• Main Focus: Community / Long-stream content

Megz never planned to be a streamer, let alone an AOCP Ambassador. In fact, she says she hated the game at first. But when her husband, fellow Ambassador Nazori, asked her to help edit his videos, she gave Albion another chance, and this time it stuck. What began as a reluctant favor quickly became her passion, and today she’s one of the game’s most wholesome voices.



Unlike many creators, Meggy doesn’t run a Youtube channel. Her content isn’t about flashy highlight reels or clutch plays, it’s about being present with her community. Every stream is centered on spending time together, sharing laughs, trading sassy jokes, and building connections. And if that’s not enough, her Twitch bot dishes out questionable Albion-themed pick-up lines to keep everyone on their toes.



Outside of the game, Megz is a mum of four and often channels that same “mama bear” energy into Albion. She runs an active guild, guiding her “guild babies” with patience and humor. Under her leadership, they’ve reached back-to-back Gold rankings – not bad for someone who calls herself “below average skill-wise”. She also organizes the long-running 20v20 Extravaganza on AlbionTV, now thriving across both Albion Americas and Europe.



As an Ambassador, Megz fosters a more welcoming environment in Albion: drawing in new players, creating community, and proving you don’t need to be top tier to make a difference. So if you’re after content that’s equal parts wholesome, chaotic, and hilarious, Megz is the one to watch. Catch her live interview this Friday at 20:00 UTC for more laughs, a shot at winning the Priest vanity bundle, and perhaps the chance to learn a pick-up line or two.

From bold comebacks to drawn-out wars, Season 28 has been anything but predictable. Battles have raged, alliances have shifted, and new powers have risen in unexpected corners of the Outlands. With just one Invasion Day remaining, the final battles will decide not only the rankings, but how the next season begins. The lines have been drawn, and for some, this is the last chance to rewrite the ending.

Here’s how things stand heading into the finale:

• Albion Asia: Sunset continues to shine at the top of the leaderboard with 850,000 Season Points, trailed by alliance partner Peony Flower with over 500,000. But the contest for third place is heating up: Agila holds the spot for now with 400,000, but Griffin Empire are just a couple of thousand points behind. As both guilds prepare for a final push, the outcome may rest on a single territory – or a single mistake.
• Albion Europe: The war between GRRR and GIRTH has reached a deadlock. GRRR, with Woof Woof and Skoggangr holding the top two spots, has successfully defended its key territories. GIRTH’s Heralds of Valhalla sit close behind in third and have managed some successful raids, but a breakthrough still eludes them. With one last Invasion Day to go, both sides are digging in, and it remains to be seen whether this cold war will erupt or end in a quiet standoff.
• Albion Americas: PIVAS continue to lead the pack with 800,000 Season Points, maintaining a solid advantage over Upside in second with 622,000. Just as in Asia, the real fight may come further down the rankings: INTERDITS are holding third at 498,000, but Make Albion Great Again are only 10,000 points behind and gaining fast. With tensions mounting and several guilds chasing a third-place finish, this final Invasion Day is shaping up to be anything but peaceful.
