Albion Online News

There's a chill in the air, leaves are beginning to fall... Allhallows is almost here! This two-week event runs from October 28-November 11 with a new dungeon and other surprises.
[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

For the complete list of changes, check out the official patchnotes.

The Brimstone & Mist Midseason Update arrives October 21, bringing numerous additions and improvements. The update will also introduce Albion's second premier costume set: the Knight Adventurer Bundle.

This newest bundle includes ten vanity unlocks with a vivid blue crystal theme that will transform your character into a powerful and mysterious warrior. All the included items can be used on male or female characters, with unique looks (and even unique voices) for each.

Like the Rogue Bundle, this new bundle also includes an Armored Horse Mount Skin with a matching blue crystal theme. On top of that, it also includes guild versions of the Knight Adventurer helmet, armor, cape, and mount skin that allow you to show off your currently active guild logo and colors without dimming the costume's impressive visual effects.
[h3]Premium Animated Emotes[/h3]
The centerpiece of the Knight Adventurer Bundle is the Warbanner, a main-hand costume weapon. The Warbanner includes two premium animated emotes activated by spells, Honor the Flag and Rally the Troops:

The Warbanner uses the primary weapon slot, and like all other vanity weapon items with unique spells, its spells can be toggled on or off with a special button next to the spell icons.
