[h3]New Solo Dungeon: Hallowed Ground[/h3]
The Hallowed Ground dungeon, introduced during last year's Allhallows event as a group dungeon, now also appears in a new solo version. Both versions appear at random throughout all T4-T8 zones as a pumpkin-themed portal. Once inside you'll find eerie pumpkin-lined corridors, creepy-crawly monsters, and the mysterious final boss known only as Bob.



The final chest offers valuable loot, including a rare chance for mount skins like the Jack o' Donkey and Horse Macabre, so put on your best pumpkin-slaying gear and prepare for a fight!

[h3]New Solo Dungeon: Hallowed Ground[/h3]
Hallowed Ground was introduced during last year's Allhallows event as a group dungeon – and this year, in addition to the group version, you'll find a new solo version throughout the open world. Both versions feature eerie pumpkin-lined corridors, creepy mobs, and the return of the mysterious final boss known only as Bob, back to seek vengeance on Albion's unsuspecting human souls.



This dungeon offers valuable loot, including a rare chance for mount skins like the Jack o' Donkey and Horse Macabre along with other items. The dungeon has a chance of spawning in all T4-T8 zones, with rewards scaling depending on the tier – so join some friends or head out on your own in your spookiest dungeon-crawling garb, and get ready for a fight!

The Brimstone & Mist Midseason Update is here! This major patch brings new enemies and traps in Corrupted Dungeons, increased fishing opportunities and new fish in the Roads of Avalon, Disarray and Smart Cluster Queue improvements, combat balancing, a new Premier Vanity Bundle, new recipes, crafting and butchery improvements, and much more.

Corrupted Dungeons get a horde of fearsome new foes, including a new boss, the Demonic Harbinger, with a range of powerful melee and magic attacks. Face new lesser demons, corrupted Heretics, and Hellhounds, and watch out for new spike traps that ignore armor and unpredictable lava traps. Numerous existing mobs including the Demonic Warlock and Demonic Underlord have been updated, and attackable hazards have improved effects and readability.



Anglers rejoice! Fishing is now available in every Roads of Avalon zone, and three new fish species exclusive to the Roads have been introduced. These can be cooked into recipes via a new line of roasts, which also include chicken, goose, and pork.

Brimstone & Mist brings numerous updates to group PvP combat of all sizes that will keep Albion's combat meta fresh and fair. These include balance changes to numerous weapons and armor, changes to the Smart Cluster Queue to keep parties together, and updates to Disarray to reinstate the importance of healers and damage dealers.



This update also brings a new premiere vanity set, the Knight Adventurer Bundle. This set includes ten vanity unlocks with a vivid blue crystal theme. The centerpiece is the Warbanner, a main-hand costume weapon that includes two premium animated emotes. The bundle also includes guild versions of the helmet, armor, cape, and armored horse skin.

Other changes include:

• Keep quality when crafting Faction Capes and Royal Armors
• Three additional levels of Hardcore Expeditions
• Improved minimap readability in numerous locations
• Numerous further optimizations to the mobile version
• ...and much more
