Albion Online News

The brand-new Mistbison skin is now available in the ingame store! This premiere mount skin transforms your Transport Ox base mount into an ancient, mystical beast from the age of Avalon.

With its ability to transport heavy goods and resources across large distances, the Transport Ox is an essential part of Albion's economic game. The Mistbison adds further options for those looking to upgrade their ox's appearance, and joins a growing collection of skins for this popular mount.

Like all mount skins, once the Mistbison is unlocked it can be used by all characters on your account. Pick one up today and travel, transport and trade in style!

The dead just won't stay buried! For the entire month of July, take the Undead Challenge to unlock fantastic rewards. Earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your very own Spectral Direboar.
[h3]Live Your Best Afterlife[/h3]
SPECTRAL DIREBOAR: This month's Challenge brings back the popular Spectral Direboar, a ghostly mount with a unique spell, Glimpse of the Other Side, which renders you temporarily invisible. Use it to evade your enemies... or to launch a sneak attack!
 
AVATAR RING: Adventurers who rack up enough total Challenge Points will also earn the Undead Challenge avatar ring, featuring a spooky skull-themed design that will strike fear into the hearts of your foes. 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 goals to unlock Undead Challenge chests. In addition to valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes and Silver, you'll also have a chance to unlock spooky furniture items like the Candelabra, Lantern, and Memorial of the Fallen, as well as rare and valuable Undead Vanity Skins.
 
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 / avatar ring reward. So log in, head out into the open world, gather points, and claim these rewards while you can!

Call to Arms Patch 8 is here, bringing a range of improvements and fixes. First up, though, there's a new face in Conquerors' Hall...


[h3]New Winner Statue: SUN[/h3]
Congratulations to SUN, winners of Guild Season 12! Check out their brand-new statue at the entrance to Conquerors' Hall in the Royal Cities. The statue also includes guild logos of the second and third place winners, MudHouse and MAHARLIKA. While you're there, be sure to pay your respects to past winners on multiple floors, and click on their statues to read their stories.


[h3]Lethal Hellgate Rewards Increased[/h3]
The Call to Arms update brought new depth and complexity to PvE in Hellgates. To make the PvE experience in higher-risk Lethal Hellgates more worthwhile, the overall value of chest loot in these Hellgates has been boosted: 

• 2v2: +10%
• 5v5: +20%
• 10v10: +30%

[h3]Condensed Marketplace Notifications[/h3]
To reduce the number of Marketplace notifications and make them more meaningful, notifications are now only sent when a Buy or Sell Order is completely fulfilled or expires. These mails contain a summary of all relevant transactions in one easily-readable message, letting you check the status of orders on the go without excessive clicks.


[h3]Other Changes and Fixes[/h3]

• Balance changes to Axes and Maces
• Faction Warfare: improved feedback when capturing Outposts, and Outposts no longer claimable while mounted
• Corrupted Dungeon tutorial popup no longer appears each time a new dungeon is entered
• Various localization, animation, and terrain fixes
