Albion Online News

We are excited to announce the launch of a new version of Albion’s Round Table! This is going to be open to more players than ever before, while still sticking to our original vision of giving our most experienced and well-accomplished players a way to share their knowledge.

[h3]What is the Round Table?[/h3]

At its core, the Round Table is a place for discussion and feedback about the game and its various types of content, where experienced and knowledgeable players come together in a constructive dialogue. The feedback gathered is then forwarded directly to our developers, giving them the opportunity to hear the joys and pains of gameplay first-hand.

With this rework, we’re looking to include experts in as many different playstyles and features as possible.

Applications are now open! The new iteration starts with the next Guild Season.

We are looking for people who:

• Specialize in specific aspects of the game
• Have long-term experience in the game
• Are motivated to help improve the game in every way possible
• Can write feedback in a polite and constructive way

If this describes you, please head over to this Forum post for more details.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This weekend is a significant one for Albion Online, as it sees the staging of the final Crystal League Championship. But it promises to be a thrilling tournament, as Albion’s 5v5 teams battle for the crown for the last time - and you can watch the drama unfold on AlbionTV!

From 10:00 UTC on Saturday 16 September, hosts Shozen, Lewpac, and Tazzik will bring you the Albion East championship. And then from 17:00 UTC on Sunday 17 September, you can watch all the action on Albion West. Along with the prestigious title, teams will be fighting for the very rare Saber Tiger Rex Swiftclaw skin as well as huge amounts of Gold. With so much to play for the combat will be fierce, so don’t miss the chance to see this tournament for the final time!


[h3]Twitch Drops[/h3]
We’ll also be running Twitch Drop campaigns for the duration of the tournament. Details are as follows:

East CLC: Drops are active September 16, 10-16 UTC West CLC: Drops are active September 17, 17-23 UTC

On both dates an Epic Community Chest is available after 30 minutes watchtime, and a Legendary Community Chest after a further two hours. Drops will be active only on the albiononline and mrslovely_ao channels.

For team breakdowns, rules, and the final schedule, check out this forum post. We hope you can join us for this momentous occasion, and help give the Crystal League Championship a memorable send-off - see you then!

The last Guild Season is drawing to a close and the Crystal League Championship is coming up, but there’s no time for Albion’s guilds to rest on their laurels. Because on September 23, the next season will kick off on both servers!

Great rewards are on offer, including some new prizes available for Albion’s top guilds, and there are also some significant changes to the Crystal League. Read on for more info…


[h3]Season Rewards[/h3]
This season introduces two brand-new rewards: the Epic and Legendary Guild Season Winner Direwolf Skins. These eye-catching new skins are rewards for guilds who have won multiple seasons, and can be claimed at the vanity merchant when you have an existing Guild Season Winner Direwolf Skin and a Guild Season Winner unlock item. With these extremely rare skins, guilds who have won either two or three seasons since Guild Season Winner Skins were introduced in Season 19 can proudly display their achievements to the world.

There are, of course, also some fantastic rewards on offer in the Conqueror’s Challenge, like the Crystal Phalanx Beetle, Pyromancer Avatars, and Fame buffs. For a complete rundown of the prizes on offer, as well as full season schedules, see this forum post.


[h3]Crystal League Changes[/h3]
As previously announced, this season sees some big changes to the Crystal League:

• The Crystal League will no longer grant Season Points
• The Lethal Crystal League has been removed entirely, and all 20v20 Crystal League matches are now non-lethal
• At the end of the season, there will no longer be a Crystal League Championship

[h3]Times and Broadcasts[/h3]
The season kicks off on September 23 at 00:00 UTC on Albion East (that is: 08:00 on September 23 in Singapore; 20:00 on September 22 in Washington, D.C.), and 11:00 UTC on Albion West. And as always, you can watch it all kick off on AlbionTV.

At 13:30 UTC on September 23 we’ll be broadcasting Invasion Day on Albion East. Then at 17:30 UTC we’ll bring coverage from Albion West ahead of the first round of territory resets there. Finally, at 00:30 UTC on September 24, those in the North and South American time zones can tune in for the second round of territory resets on Albion West. All open-world fights are broadcast live with a 15-minute delay.

Check this forum post for a full season schedule, and join us to see the season kickoff!

As summer turns slowly to autumn in Albion, shepherding season is just beginning. And those unflagging farmers out there have another chance to get an able assistant to their work. Yes, a new referral season is upon us, and you can get yourself a Sheepdog with just one referral!

This skin for your Direwolf base mount proves that you can be smart, hard-working, and cute all at once, and its thick fur and drooping tongue make it beloved by even the most hard-hearted warrior. Once the skin is unlocked, it can be used by any of your characters on that particular server (either Albion East or West).


[h3]How to Earn Seasonal Referral Rewards[/h3]

• Send your referral link, which you can find here, to a friend. (You must be logged into your account on the website to view this page.)
• Your friend registers an account and starts playing Albion Online (preferably along with you!).
• The first time your friend purchases at least 30 days of Premium, they will trigger a reward for you.
• On top of that, for your very first referral ever, you'll receive a T8 Recruiter's Pile of Tomes, worth a massive 200,000 Fame.

This Referral Season lasts until 23:59 UTC on September 30, so invite your friends and enjoy these rewards!

The chill of fall is beginning to creep into the air... and the Heretic Challenge is back! For the entire month of September, earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your very own Heretic Combat Mule.

[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.

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 rewards. So log in, head out into the open world, gather points, and claim these rewards while they last!
