Allhallows is in full swing, and the Grim Challenge is back! For the entire month of November, earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your very own Pest Lizard.

PEST LIZARD: This month’s Challenge offers another chance to claim the popular Pest Lizard. This sleek, slithery mount comes with a Toxic Cloud ability that causes enemies who touch it to become temporarily disoriented, and can be used to disrupt enemy players in numerous situations.


AVATAR RING: Adventurers who rack up enough total Challenge Points will also earn the Grim Challenge Avatar Ring, featuring a spooky skull-topped iron frame. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this 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 point totals to unlock Grim Challenge Chests. Along with valuable rewards like Adventurer’s Tomes, Silver, resources, and other loot, you’ll also have a chance to unlock four furniture items: the Empty Coffin, Grim Gravestone, Grim Lantern, and Weeping Woman Statue.

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!

Wild Blood went live on October 16, and players have been busy Tracking terrifying beasts, crafting Shapeshifter Staffs, and awakening their weapons to previously unseen levels. So we’ve delved into the data, and come out with this new infographic to give a snapshot of what’s been going on in Albion since the update released! (Click to expand)



We’re thrilled to see so many of you out there trying out these features, bringing new dimensions to the world of Albion, and we can’t wait to see how things develop further! Meanwhile, the Allhallows event is on now, so grab your gear and dive into those dungeons for some spooky rewards…

It’s the spookiest time of the year - and the Allhallows event is here! For its duration you can run the limited-time Hallowed Ground dungeon for the chance to grab the very rare Jack o’ Donkey and Horse Macabre mount skins!

This dungeon can appear randomly in T4-T8 zones across the open world, and can be entered through special portals adorned with pumpkins. Once inside, you’ll find it filled with blood-curdling mobs, bone-chilling decorations, and the abominable final boss: Bob. Should you withstand its horrors and defeat this pumpkin-headed nuisance, you’ll find a special Hallowed Ground chest which, along with those ultra-rare mount skins, may contain some special Allhallows Treats. These grant a temporary boost to all non-PvP Fame - but don’t save them for too long, you wouldn’t want them to go bad would you?



Allhallows runs for the following times on each server:

• Albion East: October 26 at 23 UTC to November 15 at 23 UTC
• Albion West: October 27 at 10 UTC to November 16 at 10 UTC

So arm yourselves up, head down into the dungeons, and go put the frighteners on old Bob!
