Gold Market Purchase Fee Adjustments
Hi everyone, After collecting about a month of data on the new Gold market purchase fee, we have to say it was unsuccessful in bringing down the costs of Premium the way we had anticipated. We're still figuring out where exactly our predictions failed, but at this point we have to admit that the fee simply isn't achieving what we wanted it to do. However, the data we collected (and still are collecting) contains lots of valueable insights into how this fee affects the Gold market. For this reaso…
NDA Balance Playtests
In this patch we are addressing damage output between range and melee weapons in large scale fights. To achieve this we are adjusting the Resilience Penetration on all melee weapons and lowering the Resilience curve of melee weapons. A lowered Resilience Penetrations will lead to lower damage output in large scale battles. This is offset by the lowered melee Resilience leading to melee vs melee damage output staying similar. But ranged weapons now deal more damage vs melee weapons in large scale…

New Speculation Fee on Gold Markets
Hello everyone, Today we've introduced a Purchase Fee of 30% when buying Gold from the Gold market (but not when buying Premium for Gold or Silver). Since this may seem like a drastic measure to some of you, I want to explain our goals in this post. Over the last months, many of you have expressed concerns about the rising price of Gold, as it makes it difficult to earn Premium as a free player. Since our goal has always been to keep Premium for Silver affordable, we've spent a lot of time analy…

Server Stability Update - July 19 - Compensation Rollout Started
Fellow Adventurers, We’re back with a new update on the stability of the Albion Online servers, as well as the topic of compensation. The good news first: it seems as if the work our server host and we have done to mitigate attacks on our infrastructure has yielded results. There have still been a number of attacks since our last update, but those have barely impacted your ability to play. This is despite the attacker(s) constantly shifting attack patterns, methods, and targets. While this does …

Black Market buffering changes June 19th 2023
Hi there, I'll try to clarify a few things to answer those questions. First, the way the black market buys items has not changed, it still buys the same amounts and ratio of items as before. That means the items getting distributed are the same amount and ratio as before. What has changed, is the way the distribution works. Previously, the black market would hand an item it had in storage out to the first loot container that successfully rolled for it in its loot list, which could result in a fe…
Black Market buffering changes June 19th 2023
Hello everyone, Beginning today, we have updated how the Black Market buffers items before transferring them to the open world. Here's how it works: - In order to prevent issues where high value chests would receive less than the intended value, we've improved the Black Market algorithm to buffer drops more effectively and thus always retain enough items to fill high-value chests effectively. - To prevent shock in the system as we start to buffer items, the buffers will fill slowly, so this enti…

Hi there, First off, we have to admit the video creator has a point and there’s been an oversight in the patch notes in two cases: - Guild creation costs were increased in the context of the asia server launch.

Beyond the Veil Patch #3 - Dev Update
Dear Albion Community, Today we released Patch #3 for ‘Beyond the Veil’, which brings some pretty big changes to the Roads of Avalon and is a direct reaction to the feedback we’ve received from many of you, asking us to return high value solo PvE opportunities (i.e. green chests) to the Roads of Avalon.

The Fundamental Reason for "Lack of Content" in Albion
Quote from EANjshdusda: “The fundamental reason for "Lack of Content" in Albion is it's economic system. It's gonna be long, but hear me out. Loot in the entire game are allocated from a loot pool. Corrputed gets 5%, Group dungeon 10%, Hell gate 5% and so on. Therefore for example, To increase loot in Mist, the same amount of loot has to be removed from other areas of the game. Because loot is content(resouce note, chest, core), the game only has as much content to offer as it's loot pool. ” Hi …

Please also do the same to the roads as you seem to just be flat ignoring it at the moment and there's barely any objectives spawning. ” Hey there, the roads are on our immediate agenda as well, we are already in the process of discussing and implementing changes here, to be released quickly.
NDA Balance Playtests
These changes are intended to go live with the first patch of Beyond the Veil. This will not be a big balance patch but a couple of adjustments to react to the current meta on the game. The main goal is to tone down the biggest mobility outliers and have a few adjustments and buffs for currently underused abilities. All these changes are still in testing and may vastly differ in the final patch. Axes - Razor Cut (Bearpaws) - Range: 12m -> 10m - Energycost: 20 -> 16 Bows - Frost Shot (all Bows) -…
Mists Balance Changes Day 1
Quote from Khladraven: “Just remove death skulls for any solo kill, not just in the mists, but open world too. ” The death skull range in the mists will be reduced to nametag range - that's the only thing we could do on short notice, however, it should largely address the issue.
New Update is Awful
Quote from Trial_hard: “ my feedback in one sentence: If i want a reasonable pvp solo experience, CD is with all the problems 1000 times better. If the idea was to create something for solo pvp it is a complete fail The thing that might be too radical but as a thought to remove the stallment - ” This is indeed a very relevant point. The mists goal is to provide an open world experience for solo/duo players - think of it as open world Outland gameplay, but without the zergs. They are not intended…
Beyond the Veil Feedback. (18 hours in Solid)
Hey @Nazori thanks for your feedback. I also managed to watch a bit of your stream yesterday. We agree that the mists have a solid foundation, however, the balance, frequency/distribution of rewards and objectives are currently not yet where they should be. This is being looked into right now, with adjustments being made fast. Also, we share your concern about the skulls on the map and the zerg bubble. FFA stand-offs/ratting can of course never be fully prevented in an open world setting, howeve…
New Update is Awful
Hey there and thanks for the feedback. We are collecting all the information and player input thus far and will aim to address the problems and concerns as quickly as possible. We'll keep you posted and share a more detailed assessment over the coming days.
Prestacking unsolved - very disappointing
If certain mobs are too good to pre-stack on. We can additionally iterate on those mobs, to make sure there is a certain cost associated if you use them for pre-stacking, i.e. guaranteed damage. But we don't intend to rework the entire Sword mechanic. i.e. stacking on an enemy target. Swords stacking a speed buff on themselves is part of their identity and we would like to keep that and just reduce the advantage of pre-stacking in Corrupted Dungeons. From our perspective the non-hostile mobs are…
Fey Armor
Updates on the new Fey Armor abilities: This is the latest list of changes (not on Staging yet): - Wild Magic (Fey Cloth Armor) - Full Spell Rotations before the selection times out: 2 -> 4 -> 5 - (i.e. the amount of times the spell selection cycles through all spells before going on cooldown) - Ring of Fire - Fear Duration: 0.5s -> 0.75s -> 1s - Etherial Form (Feyscale Sandals) - Damage Reduction per Stack: 15% -> 10% - Removed the CC Effect Duration Reduction on the caster - Immortal (Mistwalk…
Prestacking unsolved - very disappointing
For pre-stacking we have a change in our pipeline that non hostile mobs won't give stacks anymore. (i.e. mobs that don't fight back like crystals, traps or the watcher) However for this change we need a new feature, so player spells can react differently on non-hostile mobs. But to finish this update in time, we had to delay this code change and focus the majority of the team on the completion of the new features for this update. The pre-stacking adjustment will likely happen in a patch after th…
Lag/jitter issue ONLY IN ALBION
Hi all, we have investigated this matter, it's a routing issue affecting Comcast, our server host company is trying to arrange a workaround.
Price Changes for Premium and Gold on Nov 28th
Quote from Abydon: “Quote from Eltharyon: “Note: if you have an existing auto-renewing subscription bought through our website or the native client or get Premium before November 28 through the website or native client, your premium prices will continue to renew at the old, cheaper prices as long as they remain active. ” Does this mean if we maintain active premium the gold price for premium doesn't go up in the native client? This wording isn't clear. ” Hey there, auto-renewing premium subscrip…

Dev Talk: Roads of Avalon Revisited
Quote from Noreaga: “how will the log-out mechanic work in relation to the disconnects/drops/black screens? Especially on mobile, I have disconnect issues, not a new thing in the game but the first thought I had was "how are they going to mitigate that". Scenario: 1 hour into a road roam, I go back into the house and my phone connects to wifi. I then lose connection. It says I'm already logged in and eventually I get back in. Will I now be hit with the new mechanic? ” As long as you log in fast …
Dev Talk: Roads of Avalon Revisited
Quote from totalwar235: “Hi, we are located in the roads of Avalon and I have a related questions with this change to maps will hideouts already placed be allowed to relocate within their zone? will road portals still spawn with a preference to a single portal and fill in a certain order for an Avalon rest? (ours is north east, to north west to south west in that order) will existing Avalon rests have their tier changed? ” - there will be no relocation for existing hideouts in the Roads - most o…
NDA Balance Playtests
We have been very busy working on the next update. But apart from all the new content we have also tried to get some balance adjustments into the works to tone down and change some items and abiliteis that are too good in certain situations and also giving some improvements to a few skills, which are currently under performing. As a bigger meta shift we intend to make Cleanses in the game more broadly available for players to have more possible options to defend against CC. All these changes are…

Testserver Patch Notes - Into the Fray Patch 6
Quote from BluesJD: “Quote from PrintsKaspian: “Economy Adjustments Recent updates and patches have substantially increased the amount of Silver generated by Albion’s economy each day. This led to a substantial increase of the in-game price of Gold and Premium. Our economic modeling shows that this increase will continue unless we rebalance the Silver economy in such a way that sinks and faucets are brought back to a balanced state. Hence, we have implemented the following changes: - Increased S…
NDA Balance Playtests
Just as a heads up for everyone waiting for the next round of adjustments. The next Patch with Balance Changes will be Patch 7. Since Patch 6 has a lot of changes to a wide range of features in the game, we will first focus on finsihing patch 6. Among various other changes, you can also expect changes to Evensong and Chain Missile's total damage output in group fights. Arcane Staffs Arcane Staffs have become very popular after the latest reworks, but also introduced a few problems that we want t…
NDA Balance Playtests
Siince the last patches had a short turn around for the balance changes and the chages directly went to the staging server, there was no need for a NDA change because it was public information at that point. However since many players seem to use this thread as a quick reference for the latest Balance Changes. I also added the latest changes for Patch 5 in here. Arcane Staffs - Enigma Blade (all Arcane Staffs) - Damage: 200 → 180 - Dark Sphere (Evensong) - Base Cooldown: 48s → 42s - Cooldown Red…

The Living Legacy Starts Today!
Quote from Inusaa: “Are rewards and skins bound on account or characters ? ” The unlock items you receive via mail (Avatar & Ring) are bound to character but every character receives the mail. The unlock items dropped from statues are all tradable. Once used they are unlocked for your whole account.
[RESOLVED] Extraordinary Maintenance July 6th, 2022
Hi everyone, apologies for the unexpected downtime. It looks like we'll be able to bring the game back at the end of the regular downtime period at around 11 UTC. We'll keep you posted if there are any updates.
It's been 2 months since last Dev Talk
Hey, thanks for all the feedback. I've read this thread when it was originally posted, but wanted to wait until we're done with all the devtalks & trailers to write up a proper response. As you may have noticed, the videos align with our update cycles, we do this for a couple of reasons: - building up hype right before the release of the update - managing player expectations - there can be content that is being worked on that changes drastically during the development or content that doesn't end…

What has SBI been doing?
Quote from Reef: “You forgot about skins. New skins dude that is the key. ” Hi there, skins production does not compete with game updates as it is done by different groups of people. (artists and not game designers). In general, it's a minor part of what we are doing and also a very minor part of our business model, which is heavily centered on the premium status and always has been.

Journey Back (Town Portal) - Additional Information and Background
Hi all, following up on our recent dev talk about the upcoming Into the Fray expansion, we would like to provide you with more information about the so-called “Journey Back” Ability that will be added to mounts. Design Goals & Constraints The main reason why we are introducing this change is to combat zone camping. This is a strategy used by gank groups who camp at a static location near the portals in order to catch solo or small group players when they return from the Outlands to the Royal Con…
Town Portal - QoL Suggestion (-> see new thread)
@Oshien please see my assessment from the other thread below, it also gives you some background info on our thinking here. In short, what we want to achieve is more active Outlands and hence more genuine ganking opportunities while nerfing camping. (with the exception of transports from A to B, which can still be camped just as before). Quote from Korn: “Hey there and thanks for the feedback so far. First of all, note that the concept above does not help people who want to transport gear from a …

Town Portal - QoL Suggestion (-> see new thread)
Quote from MythicDragon: “ I believe there are much simpler ways to solve this. The simpler the solution the better. The more complex it gets = more ways for it to be abused, and more headache in the long run for the game developers and player base. My thoughts: Either do nothing and leave the game as it is, OR For the traveling concerns: - add much faster mounts to the game, as was suggested by people earlier For the 8 no-skill ganker concern: - Increase trash rate of victim's items depending o…
I have a question about the land auction system.
Hi Hanul, I am not sure if I fully understand your question, but I'll try to give an answer. - If you buy the plot outside of the auction period (i.e. directly from the current owner) you immediately become the owner of the land. (until the next auction cycle) - If you are the owner and an auction period starts, you get the "owner's advantage". This means that your bids count double. (meaning that if you bid 500 silver, it counts as 1000 silver, for example) - If you win the auction as the curre…
muting information
Quote from notthinkingaboutit: “i dont agree but i can indeed now at least understand how they could interpret what i said as a reason for the mute thanks for that ” This was a surprisingly positive conclusion - normally I’d expect this kind of thread to end in a rant. You are absolutely correct in that you deserve to know the reason for your mute and we try to provide that in the best and most efficient way possible. When you do receive a mute, you will see the reason and duration whenever you …

Stack/Sort in the Inventory
Hi everyone, with today's patch we have updated the Stack/ Sort Buttons to display as text rather than as Icons on PC. Additionally, you can now configure Hotkeys for both Stacking and Sorting of your inventory as long as the Inventory is open. I hope this helps with the issues you have been having.

Stack/Sort in the Inventory
Hi everyone, Sorry for keeping quiet on the topic for so long. I have to be honest here, this blew up way bigger than I or anyone here would have expected. First of all, I want to make it absolutely clear that we would NEVER make a change that we believe to be bad for the game or just to annoy anyone. Any change, no matter how big or small they may appear, gets discussed internally and, of course, pros and cons get weighed against each other. When we were planning these specific changes, we did …
Albion Online Bug
Thank you very much for reporting but none of the above are bugs but actually intended. Randomized Dungeon Maps: portals from higher tier maps can now appear in lower tier zones since the update from Wednesday. Roads of Avalon: the zone itself has a tier that determines what tier of mobs you can between those marked pockets. the pockets on the other hand have tier that is different from the one of the zone. Best regards, Thorn
Bosses in solo randomized dungeons drop piles of silver with 0 silver.
What @Amoebius76 is basically correct. That they currently drop piles of 0 silver is a bug and will be fixed in an upcoming patch. Best regards, Thorn
Gathering Changes following the Treasure Rework
Quote from Piddle: “Is this for ALL resources or just T7/T8. I hope you say all of them. ” Sorry to crush your hopes. The randomization is limited to Tier 7 and Tier 8.
Muted players limit

We since fixed the patch notes. What it should have said is just as you mentioned the reversed logic. For example tier 8 Randomized Dungeons created by map…

Hi everyone, In this post, I want to introduce the changes coming to resources. forum.albiononline.com/index.p…d6545612ce63697f1ce0e205f Treasure Resources With Lands Awakened we will introduce so-called Treasure Resources. Those treasures will replace the old Tier 7 and Tier 8 Big Nodes. Treasure resources will also be available on Tier 5 and Tier 6. They will always spawn with a full 30 resources per resource node and not only that but their chances of being enchanted are highly increased. But…
Treasure Rework
Hi everyone, Here I want to talk a little bit about how and why we changed Treasure Sites and what you can expect from them when Lands Awakened launches. Old vs New The old Treasure Sites hadn’t been touched for a long time. We weren’t happy with the gameplay surrounding their static location and fixed spawn times. In this Update, all of these old areas will be gone from the game. No more static locations besides Castles and Castle Outposts. Instead, you will be able to find Treasures that appea…
Open World Mob Changes
Hi everyone, In this post, I want to introduce you to the changes we made to enemy creatures you can find while roaming around the open world. forum.albiononline.com/index.p…d6545612ce63697f1ce0e205f Many of you might already know that there were already some mobs in the game that were able to upgrade from normal creatures to more rare versions the longer they are alive which includes e.g. Crystal Spiders. We built upon this idea and also expanded the diversity of enemies you can encounter for a…
Marketplace Loadouts
Hi everyone! This Feature Dive will go into detail about the Loadout integration to the Marketplace. With the “Call to Arms”-Update we introduced Loadouts as a way of saving sets of equipment together with additional inventory items into bundles, which can then be equipped from Banks or Chests with the click of a button. If you need further information on what Loadouts are and how to create them, you can check out our Dev-Talk on the topic here. With “Lands Awakened”, we are expanding this funct…

Quote from The_Support_God: “Very nice very nice thanks to who ever upgraded the night mode ” I'll keep making changes to it - and as said above, will keep an eye out on this thread for suggestions.
The Forums Could Use a Night Mode Theme
Good suggestion - added a quick and dirty Dark Mode theme that you should now be able to choose from your forum profile settings. If we see people are using it, we can keep improving the theme (or if you have any specific suggestions or notice bugs, feel free to post in this thread).
Earning an HQ Hideout in the Energy Surge Season

They only make content for big guilds. Big alliances. Does not matter that big guilds already have their maps and territorys, almost all the content in the game is for them. Now they make HQ hideouts also for the big guilds. If you there in SBI want to make HQ hid…

Soon we’ll be ready to begin sharing our progress in a new set of devtalks! Next to these plann…
Testserver Patch Notes - Call to Arms Patch 8
Quote from decand: “Quote from PrintsKaspian: “ - PvE Rewards in Lethal Hellgates increased: - 2v2: +10% - 5v5: +20% - 10v10: +30% ” for clarity, is this referring to empty gate chests, mob fame, or both? ” This is loot only. Most chests had their loot increased as mentioned. Since the loot in the Chest you get after a PvP fight consists of a PvE reward and a PvP reward its increase was slightly lower since only the PvE part got increased.
My cat died last night :(
Sorry to hear... we had to put a family cat to sleep last week... it's always heartbreaking.

Quote from Zynthia: “whilst fighting the new OW spider, anytime anyone new rides up theres a chance for aggro switch without no atk or use of taunt, then person in question rides out of range and reset, still being naked without taunt ” We will fix this as soon as possible.
Massively increasing Hellgate Rewards in Patch 4!
Hi everyone, apologies for the late follow up, last week was a busy week! As many of you will have seen, we've included significant additional changes to Hellgates in Patch 4 as a result of this discussion. If you haven't seen them, Patch 4 patchnotes have been released for the Testserver including the additional changes: Testserver Patch Notes - Call to Arms Patch 4 In addition to the planned significant loot boosts, this patch now includes a guaranteed chest at the end of each gate , to ensure…
Massively increasing Hellgate Rewards in Patch 4!
Hey everyone, thanks for your thoughts and feedback on these changes! We've taken a very close look at what you've written here today to see how we can improve. Some of the improvements you suggested are actually already part of our next patch, such as resetting cooldowns when entering a new Hellgate or when being invaded. Other suggestions, such as a guaranteed reward chest at the end of the Hellgate, we've evaluated closely and are now trying to find a way to get them into a patch as soon as p…
Unity Version Upgrade with Call to Arms
Hello everyone, With the launch of the Call to Arms update, we've upgraded the underlying Albion Online game engine version. In addition to providing a more optimized development process, this update should greatly improve some aspects of the game's performance, particularly a reduction of micro-stutters during gameplay. At the same time, there are potential new issues which come with any new technology. We will continue to monitor the game's post-update performance and make any necessary adjust…
an open letter to SBI about the HG rework.
The loot and fame in our reworked Hellgates should be better than comparable activities. But of course those values have been balanced with Infamy in mind. Since everyone on the test servers starts out at 0 infamy for Hellgates all rewards may seem lower than they are actually going to be at average infamy levels. Just like in Corrupted Dungeons infamy can increase your rewards by up to 100%! Thank you very much for your time testing Hellgates and giving feedback. It really helps us collecting d…
[03. March 2021] Rise of Avalon Patch 15
Sorry about my phrasing here. The new fame buff only applies to static dungeons, world bosses and elite mobs in the Black Zone just like the buff before the patch. Elite mobs are mobs intended for larger groups. Their location are shown on the world map by their World Boss (Harvester for Undead, Earthmother for Keeper and Demon Prince for Morgana). Best Regards, Thorn Delwyn
Loadout Feedback
Hi @Vocandin, thanks a lot for your feedback. Quote from Vocandin: “Decent amount of slots (30 for personal, 60 for guild?) ” Guilds actually have 100 Loadout slots . Quote from Vocandin: “Cannot select different food / potion amounts unless done by inventory or starting a loadout from equipped items ” This is not in the current staging version, however we have already fixed it and it will be in very soon. You will be able to use the amount selection (1,10,Full Stack) AND be able to stack items …
[February 26th] Faction Warfare Playtest Challenge - Rewards Inside!
Hi everyone, its really hard to estimate how many people will be responding to playtests like this- we were far more successful than anticipated in mobilizing the Albion playerbase. Thank you for that! We've already collected lots of interesting technical data that helps us fix bugs before a release. We're also considering running another test once those issues have been adressed, and we'll be sure to boost up the test servers even further to allow for more players if we do.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this is complete nonsense. None of these parameters exists in Albion Online. This will do nothing. USEALLAVAILABLECORES and NOTEXTURESTREAMING seem to be Unreal Engine parameters, but Albion Online does not use Unreal. The last time I played a game with the IPX protocol was in 1995. And I don't think we have a jetpack in the game. Brilliant trolling, though.

Sandbox Interactive joins Stillfront
Dear Albion Community, As you might have read in the news, Sandbox Interactive will be joining Stillfront in January 2021. Stillfront consists of a family of game studios that largely work independently, while sharing knowledge and expertise between them to support each other. For the past eight years, we have been building Albion Online up completely on our own - everything from development, to marketing, translations, customer support has been built up by ourselves. Now that Albion is growing …
Guild Season 11 Schedule
Quote from Gouloute: “Hello, can someone explain me why the world bosses T8 give 90 guild points instead of 15 ? 90.png ” Black zones have a level (from 1 to 6) which usually increases the closer a zone is to the center of the Outlands. Zones with a higher level have a higher enchantment rate for resources (of Tier 6+) and their level is multiplied to any season points. So killing a world boss that rewards 15 points in a level 6 zone will gain you 15 * 6 = 90 season points. You can find more inf…

Quote from shoo7ter: “looks like all the links dont work for me !! ” Do you mean the ones in Mythercerias post or the ones you try to build for your guild logo? Mythercerias links are all find and should work without issues, especially since your DNS seams to work as you can access the forum. For URLs for guild logos it may throw you errors if you are trying to generate a guild logo that cannot be generated ingame. There are very hard requirements on the parameters but they are all properly docu…

Please instead of removing siege camps totally turn them into the new banks.

They are managed by the Black Market Trade Organization under the Don of Caerleon. There you can buy some safe bank space for little silver to store your loot in the Black Zone even without access to a Hideout. You can find their location on the World-map.
Dev Talk: Development Update November 2020
Quote from Robinhoodrs: “9b05ef71d3caa0247bbfcbfafbaf8b33.png So I see Thetford is flagged as a RED ZONE, shouldn't it be a BLUE ZONE? Unless the cities can be launched on via the Faction Warfare system by another faction? Also Nightcreek Marsh currently is a Yellow Zone, but on the map it's showing as Red. Is this the Royal Zone rework you were talking about Robin? ” Hi @Robinhoodrs, what you see in this image is my VERY WIP visual Mockup for the Faction Warfare worldmap that I am currently wor…
Forum Vulnerability Discussion Thread
Quote from VLAN: “Also, this does not just affect the forums, passwords are linked to both game accounts and website. This needs to be directed as a full DB breach, and not downplayed as a "small forum data breach". Shame. ” Hi there, we're not trying to downplay this incident in any way. However, we feel it is important to note that only users registered in the forum are affected by this breach. That number is only roughly 5% of the total number of Albion Online users. 95% of Albion Online user…
First Look: The Rogue Adventurer Bundle
Hi @Hyrkali, The bundle will be permanently available, until you have either purchased the bundle itself or all individual pieces with gold. Once they become available for gold ingame, the individual skins will not be tradeable and will unlock directly to your account when purchased. Hope that answers any questions. Cheers!
Interface improvement
Hi @DaLi, I like your suggestions! Unfortunatly, dealing with these nametags can have a pretty serious performance impact, especially in large ZvZ situations. We always have to be really careful with changes like these. I'll discuss them with the coders to see how much of an impact this would have and think of potential workarounds for performance issues. Thanks for your feedback! Cheers!
Update on API - New Endpoints
Quote from cuatro: “it seems only the example in the wiki is working. Everything else i get a 502 Bad Gateway error. render.albiononline.com/v1/item/T4_OFF_SHIELD.png these do not seem to work: render.albiononline.com/v1/item/T5_OFF_SHIELD.png render.albiononline.com/v1/item/T6_OFF_SHIELD.png ” There was an issue with the database behind this.

Cityplots 3rd party programm to see the Bids beeing placed
No, such a tool is not possible. When you bid on a plot that is between you and the server. No other client can see that communication. Also, the server will never send information about other players bids to a player. The highest bid is only revealed after bidding is over. As some of you have pointed out, any information sent to a client by the game server can be extracted from client computers memory with the help of 3rd party tools. Therefore it is an important online game design principle to…
Vanity: Avatars, Wardrobe, Emotes
Quote from Equart: “I imagine how people will abuse this frogs via druid robe/Q stacks on swords etc. @GrayMo ” Frogs, Bats, Foxes, Rabbits, etc that can be summoned by vanity gear are not targetable and are also unaffected by AOE's. So this should not be possible. - Mo

Quote from Equart: “Yeap, i got question. Are you planning to add alternative visual animations of weapon/armor spells, for $ or in-game currency? ” Currently there are no plans to do this. I am also not sure if this really makes sense. Do you have a specific Idea? - Mo
Vanity: Avatars, Wardrobe, Emotes
Hi folks! Queen is approaching rapidly, so I thought I would take some time to explain the new vanity features coming up. The update will contain multiple additions to the "Appearance" section of the Player Menu (accessible by clicking your character Avatar or name in the top left corner of the screen): 1. Avatar Selection 2. Wardrobe 3. Emotes 4. Misc. Avatar Selection As the "old" avatar selection screen was running out of space to display all of the avatars and rings, we decided to integrate …
Upcoming Feature: Laborer Contracts
Hey folks, with our next major feature update Queen coming up soon, we will be making extensive changes to the Outlands. To make the transition for everyone easier, we will be adding a new feature that allows you to move and transfer your laborers.

Fame API seems to have stalled again
Quote from Ethan02: “@Dero: You wrote "Rest assured no data is lost on that end". Any chance of getting an export of the player statistics between 14.08. until today? ” Depends on what kind of data you need from this. If it's the daily thing for each player then we may be able to generate a json dump of the data for you. I just have to consult our legal team if we can give this data out to you in this form. If you mean the aggregations then it will be hard to do as we would manually need to calc…
Fame API seems to have stalled again
I'm happy to announce that we're almost up to date again. Processing takes probably an hour or two until all piled up data is handled and then you should see current data again. Aggretations (this week, last week, ...) may take some more time to be updated as we don't compute them too often, but over the weekend those should be fine as well. If you see any inconsistencies in data please don't hesitate to write me here.
Updated Guild Logs
Hey everyone, we have been getting a lot of feedback over the last couple of months regarding the lack of a way to get information about leaving/joining guild members. With an upcoming update, we will be adding features to the existing Member Logs UI to make this information easily accessible. On first glance you will see that we have visually updated the Guild Logs UI (formerly Member Details UI) to make it more aesthetically pleasing and allow for displaying longer lists. This change has been …
Fame API seems to have stalled again
Just to keep you updated: We implemented a change that will reduce the amount of data coming in for processing. This should ensure that we will eventually catch up with the current state. That said it first will get worst until it get's better as we still have a lot of data to process before reaching the point where started to reduce the amount. I cannot say how long this will take since processing rates are hard to predict here.
Fame API seems to have stalled again
We do not yet have a fix ready and we also cannot say when data will be up to date again. I know that this is inconvenient for many players. What I can say is that processing of new data is happening, just in a much slower rate then needed to keep up with the data coming in.
Fame API seems to have stalled again
Hi @cuatro, we have indeed some performance problems with player statistics. Rest assured no data is lost on that end. Only processing the data to be available via API is delayed. We are working on a solution for this so you can see current data as soon as possible. Besides of this data will generally be updated once per day.
Wardrobe & Today's Patch Changes
Hey folks, In the leadup to our latest update “Percival”, @H4n1baL announced the introduction of our Vanity & Customization feature. As I am now in charge of the feature, I thought I’d give you some information about what is coming next and explain today’s patch to you. Now that we have rolled out mount skins & character customization we want to expand on that system by adding a “Wardrobe” section to the Appearance UI. Here you will be able to select a visual appearance for your character’s equi…
Market Volume (chart/indicator)
Hey @Woohoodathird! A chart with volume measures is in the game already. You can open it via the little arrow in a market details window.

Who is in charge of the UI changes?
Hi @KCyanide, I am the one you suggest should be fired Even though I personally had no hand in the sorting changes, I believe the intended way this is supposed to work is much better than it previously was. For Reference: * Old Sorting: * New Sorting: * 1. Equipment items (main AND offhand) 2. Equipment items (rest) 3. Mounts 4. Consumables 5. Farmables 6. Simple items 7. Furniture items 8. Journal items 9. Unknown itemtype items * 1. Equipment items (main hand) 2. Equipment items (off hand) 3. …
H4n1baL says goodbye
Again, thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm really overwhelmed with the responses. @Shozen I'm on a festival from tomorrow on, so I'll drop you a message at the beginning of next week. But something general about the UI team: roughly for the past 3 years, there's always been a dedicated UI team, consisting of artists, programmers and designers. I was just leading this team for the most part, so I left this team behind when I started to work on the Customization features. They are still exclus…
H4n1baL says goodbye
Thanks for the kind words everyone! This means a lot to me. @Fusionbomb Thanks for the endless supply of gif reactions whatever the topic is. @Shozen I'm happy to say that there's actually a few more small Guild QoL things coming soonish that I managed to push in. Leaving behind a little something one might say. And I'd be happy to join for an interview some time. @Finalhecate Thanks for that fantastic song. I did enjoy that a lot - Lino
H4n1baL says goodbye
Hey everyone! It's hard to write this, but the Percival update marks the end of my time at Sandbox Interactive. Quite some time ago I decided it's time for me to move on to new challenges and therefore I have to say goodbye today. I joined the Albion development team three and a half years ago in February 2016 as a Level Designer, fresh from university and went on to become the UI Designer, an amazing opportunity for me personally, as I became the head of a multi disciplinary team of 5 people.

Please BEWARE this SCAM tactic
Hi @Ravenar, So do I understand you correctly that you would prefer to have "130 m" there instead of "130,000,000"? I would argue that this would make the situation worse, see example: 130,450,000 = 130 m 130,000,000 = 130 m The only way to actually read out the real amount would be via a tooltip, which I would clearly argue is worse. A player could put the correct amount in at first, then pull the same scam mentioned above and there wouldnt even be a change of the number displayed. What are you…

Arena Horse and Swift Claw
Hey @Phenix0415! You will be able to purchase the horse and cougar skin unlock items from the arena shop. Existing mounts will be converted into these as well. Hope that helps? - Lino
Vanity & Customization
@Allison1 No, there is currently no close-up with armor included. That may change in the future, but there are no concrete plans right now. - Lino
Percival Update - Gender Reassignment
Hey @HumbleHokage! Thanks for your feedback. As I've mentioned before, gender change is not off the table. It's just way more complicated to implement than a simple hair model change for example. This has nothing to do with transphobia. If we easily could, we would have already implemented it. It's possible that gender change is coming with the following content update, but I can't make promises. - Lino
Vanity & Customization
@Rindex Concerning the current "Grandmaster's Warhorse": As was said before "You'll be able to salvage the current mounts for their original gold cost." So you didn't lose anything by buying one. You can get the gold back. But it's NOT being converted into a permanent skin. - Lino
Vanity & Customization
@Medardo_Sempai As @Elsa said, the stag skin you see there was an idea we had that didn't make it into the final version. @outfit The people that were working on new models and customization options are not the ones that would fix an issue with hellgates. If you feel like we need to adjust the hellgate system, don't use this thread, but create a new one in the feedback section of the forum. @Donger304 We're not taking any gold for old mounts. They are not sold by us, you need the unlock-item. We…
Claymore E is still way underpowered
I have nothing to do with combat design. Tag @Retroman for combat related things in the future. - Lino
Vanity & Customization
@Drift No, only the new skins we produced and the armored guild horses will be purchasable for gold. For the other ones you'll need the unlock-items. @CaptainCheesy No, the guild warhorses are NOT converted into skin-unlock items. You will be able to unlock a permanent skin for gold once Percival goes live and you'll be able to salvage the current mounts for their original gold cost. - Lino
The Percival Update Arrives July 10!
@Sixnations @Goldorack Please see my post here: Vanity & Customization It contains all the info that's necessary. The mounts will be converted into skin-unlock items that you can consume to permanently unlock the respective skin for your account. If you have 10 morgana mares, you'll get 10 skin-unlock items. You can use one to unlock the skin and sell the other 9 to other players. All skin-unlock items are tradable. - Lino
Vanity & Customization
@Lanyday As the text says: the mounts will be converted with Percival. Not the ingredients. You will be able to use the ingredients to craft a skin-unlock item for the Morgana Mare/Bonehorse at the Vanity Merchant. @Ravenar Only mounts on that list are gonna be affected. The rams and bat etc. are not mentioned because they aren't being touched. - Lino

Upcoming changes to the Land Auction System
Hey everyone, There have been several ongoing discussions on the monopolization of the city plots and we appreciate all of your feedback on this topic. After evaluating the situation, we plan to make a set of changes in Oberon Patch #4 to address this. You can expect the patch to go live in the coming days, prior to the next auction cycle. The main change is that we are moving to a so called "blind" auction system, meaning that players won't see each others' bids until the winner is determined. …
Shotcaller Interview: Sucks

Hey everyone, Today we performed an emergency maintenance to resolve an exploit that affected our in-game gold market. We identified the severity of the problem, and fortunately there was no need for a rollback. Here is what we are currently doing to resolve this problem: 1. The accounts involved in gold creation will be suspended temporarily and investigated by us. 2. Accounts that bought lots of gold cheaply as a result of the gold exploit will not be suspended. However, we'll be treating this…

Adventure Challenges now lack excitement
Hey @Meleodus, Quote from Meleodus: “(1) Part of the reason why rewards are not considered special, and why I believe I am receiving an in-game stipend rather than a reward for my efforts is that I can receive the daily point bonus in 10 minutes.

I think it would be cool to actually have to earn the reward-- either by completing a list of tasks that take y…

I know that it doesn't feel good to see a smaller number after the update. But the problem here is that rewards from season points all have a certain value and are balanced in a way that we give a fixed value per point. Now If we drastically increase season points available, we would give out far more of these rewards (which will have a bad impact on the economy). If it would be all about 'perceiving' the higher number we could multiply everything by 10 but in the end the relative relation of th…

Hi there, Thanks again for your thoughts. Here is a quick update and some of our reasoning.

Crystal Realm Battles - Share Your Feedback
Hi there, we're flexible regarding the Crystal Realm time windows so having them between warcamp timers is def. an option.

However the battle vault should be filled beforehand.

Hi @Unii, as it turned out there was an issue with Items/Skills that contained no spaces in their localized name. The code would then think that it is a unique item name and wouldn't start to search for the item by localized name. I fixed this not so that unique names are better distinguished from localized names. You can see that all images on wiki.albiononline.com/wiki/Hammers are now loading propertly. Regarding the icon for 'Earth Shatter' you will probably still need to switch over to the u…

Testserver Patch Notes - Merlyn Patch #3
Merlyn Patch 3 - Ver. 1.12.365 / REV 124291 - 22 August 2018 Changes - Upgrading, repairing and construction of buildings is now much faster and is the same speed throughout all tiers of resources. - Marketplace buy amount can now be set in the Options-Interface, 1 or maximum. The default value has been set back to 1. (Not in the current version) - Known issue: The description for this setting is only in english at the moment. - Added various tooltips - Destiny Board Tracker tooltip displays now…
Norton Issue?
This is only a "heuristic" detection, given away by the ".Heur." in the threat name. (See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_analysis) I.e. the virus scanner has absolutely no idea what this is, but thinks it's suspicious anyway. Probably because Albion connects to the internet or something. Anyway, you can safely ignore this. Personally, I do not recommend that you use any 3rd party anti virus programs at all. Windows Defender and Windows firewall will protect your system adequately. Especially Sy…
Testserver Patch Notes - Merlyn Update
Quote from AcOrP: “Quote from Evoque: “Hey everyone, An update for those who are currently active on the staging server. We will increase the amount of faction points needed to buy a city heart from 1500 to 3000. We decided to make this change to ensure that the market value of hearts and raw resources in the refinement process will remain at a healthy level. Combined with the latest outpost encounter tweaks, we believe the time invested in faction warfare will remain valuable. Thank you for all…
A Brief Guide to Faction Warfare
Quote from banshi: “faction champion don't scale down in blue and yellow zones. yet players IP are severely capped. this makes the champions much much harder to take down in blue zones. Is this done on purpose or is that something that needs fixing? ” Hi there, we’re still in the process of setting up the final balancing and the faction bosses will scale to a degree with the cluster tier they are in. Quote from Bogul: “do the bosses have a black market loot table? if not, why not? ” They def. sh…
Some faction war feedback
The resource runs will prob receive some number tweaking before the final update. We see this in a similar way as the outposts: Your income will of course vary with the amount of pvp / gankers so we're careful not to have this as the single most efficient way to get points. That said, these trade runs need to offer a good reward, especially in the case a player picked a smart resource flip, since this is also a form of transmutation where you can exchanging a cheaper resource against a more valu…
Some faction war feedback
"Another thing, how will the defensive bonus for high standard rep apply?. Seems to me that you will get this bonus in faction pvp?" We're still working on changing this to NOT apply the defensive bonus as long as players are flagged for faction warfare.

"I think you might be right on the gathering estimate but that you mught vastly underestimate the outpost capture situa…

Quote from Sinatra.SUN: “ Points: 4500 for capturing point and 1000 for killing boss in a 3 man group. fine baseline kill a t6 mob and get18 rep harvest a t6 node and get 70 rep.

YoloMouse 3rd party mouse cursor allowed?
Hey guys, we do not see a problem with this kind of software. It only changes the mouse cursor on a driver level and does not interfere with the game client in any way. I don't see an unfair advantage either. Your request of customizable mouse cursors has been noted David

Lag issues (Update 8/27/17 15:05 PM)
We're close to get the lag situation under control. But it's getting delayed over and over. This is frustrating for us - and even more for you. As we stated in the previous posts - the problem is that we have to deal with third parties. The estimations we gave you - were honest - but even if all of us would be working day and night (which many of us do at the moment) we cannot speed it up any further. Often we just have to wait for the third party to reply and prepare configurations. Also please…
Lag issues (Update 8/27/17 15:05 PM)
We're still working hard on a solution. It's still the issue with the third party service that makes it hard for us to deal with it faster. (Which we stated earlier this week.) We're giving our best to implement a solution before the weekend. It involves a lot of communication with third parties that we can only speed up to certain degree. We just have to ask for your patience and understanding. We're doing everything in our power. Sorry for all the inconvenience and trouble!!!
Lag issues (Update 8/27/17 15:05 PM)
We know how annoying the lag is for you folks. But the issue is caused due to an external service that we have to use. This means no matter how hard we push it, it's not only up to us. We're continuously working on improving the situation but it will take a few days until we have a final solution. We're sorry for all the deaths to players and mobs that were caused by lags. Be careful in the OW and don't use your top gear in HGs if you care to loose it too much.
Lag issues (Update 8/27/17 15:05 PM)
Update 08/20/2017 5:10 PM Lags are still an ongoing issue that we know about. Unfortunately due to the weekend we cannot quickly fix that problem. We're sorry for you inconvenience.
Lag issues (Update 8/27/17 15:05 PM)
The issues were partially related to a minor DDOS attack that is already over. Please keep reporting in case you encounter lags/dcs or issues like that.
Lag issues (Update 8/27/17 15:05 PM)
After some adjustments we're not getting any more lag issues. I'm opening this thread so you can report here.
Teleport hacking has begun
Quote from PugthePanda: “if only my Nvidia Shadowplay would let me record video's like it does with other games . maybe this game is not supported by Shadowplay yet .. ” There is a workaround for that, in GeForce Experience go to settings -> privacy control -> "Turn on desktop capture for Instant Replay, Record, Broadcast and Screenshot?", check that and you should now be able to record everything (including your desktop).
Game Launcher Crashes [SOLVED]
Nice that this workaround fixes it but it is really strange, normally that should not be a problem (must be an issue under win7). Thanks for the hint, we will investigate.
Game Launcher Crashes [SOLVED]
Do you have a version of Qt installed on your PC? If yes try to uninstall it, it could interfere with the used and shipped one with the launcher. If it's the case we will work on a fix for the launcher.

No premium - Test server
Hi, thanks for reporting this. The issue is already known and we are working on it. David
Test Server Download Speeds any Indication, you have problems for Monday.
Hey guys, don't worry. The test server is... just a small, humble test server. There is no CDN and no serious bandwidth. We are surprised and overwhelmed by the "sudden" interest in it. Rest assures that the live server is an entirely different beast. And yes, you will be able to download the live client over the weekend already. David
[Feedback Wanted!] New Hector Dungeons
Quote from Blodvaerd: “I have only played Undead and Keepers (tiers IV and V) but it would be nice if there was all factions available at each tier (IV - VIII) ” Hi @Blodvaerd ! Thank you for asking! We've decided to separate Factions by Tiers to create a sense of progression from tier to tier. Currently there're no plans to change that. But we're trying to bring more variety to the mobs inside the same tier to compensate that.

Quote from Mathieu94P: “Quote from Foximmilian: “Thank you guys, again, for your time and feedback! We're really grateful for this. ” Hi @Foximmilian In view of the answers, many players would like more diversity in the dungeons. Knowing that many dungeon cards are already drawn (beta cards 1 & beta 2), do you plan to diversify the dungeons of third-party equivalent? Today all the T5, T6 or T7 dungeons are copied pasted from their pair and this lack of diversity. ” Hi @Mathieu94P We know the iss…

thank you for reporting this bug. A fix will probably be deployed in Patch 3 for Hector.
Guild tab bugs
thanks for reporting this bug! the fix will be deployed with an upcoming patch a workaround for now when this bug appears is to move up the scrollbar to the top (you can click and drag the scrollbar), then switch to another tab and finally switch back to the previously bugged tab
Is it allowed to scan your internet trafic and pick up logs
Hey guys, first of all thank you for asking before actually doing anything. Our position is quite simple. As long as you just look and analyze we are ok with it. The moment you modify or manipulate something or somehow interfere with our services we will react (e.g. perma-ban, take legal action, whatever). As some of you have already pointed out, using WireShark or silimar tools to analyze network traffic is undetectable from our end and we therefore do not consider it an offense. The network pa…
Keyboard glitch after inviting someone
There is a known bug with the invitation ui (e.g. for guild/party). if you type a name and press "Enter" to submit your invitation (instead of clicking "OK") the keyboard gets disabled for people that have window animations disabled in the options. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch. A workaround for now is to click in the chat window, this re-enables the keyboard. I could not reproduce this error with pressing the "OK" button though.
Bug with "Royal set"
Thank you for reporting this bug! The fix will very likely be deployed in Patch #3 for Galahad.

Can't install on drive other than C:/
Right now you'll either need to make 4GB room on C: or configure your windows to put the temp folders on D: (you can google how to do this or let a friend help you). We are trying to find a better solution in the very near future.
REQEUST: Albion Launcher changes!
Well, this causes a bit of a discussion between me and Korn. We'll see what we can do about this. The solution will be something automatic such as using the install drive if the temp folder is full, so no fiddling with ini files.
REQEUST: Albion Launcher changes!
Apparently your temp folder is still on drive C. If you absolutely cannot free space on C, you need to change the temp folder locations. Do this at your own risk! My recommendation is to free space on C instead and leave your system settings intact. For the local temp folders, edit your system enviroment variables TMP and TEMP. See computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm For the system temp folders see answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wi…e1-404c-aa27-a76c0b450818
My MacBook Pro blew up
Dear ereke, I am really sorry about your MacBook. Still, I highly doubt that it was "fried" by a "hacker". That is just not how these things work. Do you have any proof for your claim?
Lag since today
Hi guys, the issue does not seem to be on our side. Could you do a "tracert albiononline.com" just to confirm?
Concerns about acount safety
If I may add one more thing: the way to go is of course two-factor-authentication, since you would have to break into two devices instead of just one. We already have a light version of that - if you log in from a new device, you will have to do an email verification. Account theft is way down since we have introduced this. The only people who still get their accounts stolen are those who use the same password for Albion and their email account (or the email account is otherwise compromised).
Concerns about acount safety
Hi HyunMi, you are not wrong, but there is no way for us to make this secure. If you are afraid of malicious software on your machine (and that is a completely valid concern), you should never save a password in any application. Not in Albion, not in your web browser, not anywhere else. Encryption does not help here, because the game needs to be able to decrypt and send the password on login, so the encryption key needs to be stored somewhere as well and can be stolen in the same way... As an ex…
Constant disconnects and lag
Hi, The bad news first: I cannot comment on individual disconnects. This does not seem be a general problem; we have multiple machines running Albion 24/7 and almost never see any disconnects. The likely reasons for disconnects are your internet provider (e.g. 24-hour-disconnect), your Wifi (lots of wireless networds in the building = unstable) etc. This may not be a very satifying answer, but - if you get a lot of disconnects, the problem is somewhere on "your" side, it's not our server. The go…
Full Client Will Be Available For Download From Official Website?
We can do that if it helps. I would still like to know what the issue with the auto-update process is - is it because your company "cracks" SSL connections? David

What Book Are You Reading?
What Bercilak said. Especially the books by Abercrombie is something everyone should read, the stand alone books after the first law trilogy most of all. Currently listening to 'Tower Lord' book two in the Ravens shadow trilogy (Blood song), third book will be out really soon as well (7th of july). Once I finish that I will be off to read 'The Autumn Republic', by Brian McClellan.
All the guilds in Albion and what they are.
Haha really neat! @Blackthron EDIT: This reminds me of fighting Russian clans in Lineage 2 as well. Usually ended about the same.
is there pve?
The destiny board is something that allows you to grow as a character, it just is different progression system than Tibia. When I was younger I played a lot of Tibia and I still play it for a week every year due to nostalgia, the world has a bit of the same feel to it as you had when you first left Rook.
Item that prevents you from dropping all ur loot?
Quote from Gwandir: “Quote from Vomk: “A really rare item that prevents you from dropping ur items? Or maybe just an rare item that can make it impossible to drop a certain item. When you die the item u had in ur bag or something dissapears? What do you guys think? It must be a hard to find item though so not everyone has one.” There was such an item in Tibia which was a even more hardcore full loot pvp game and it completely destroyed all the fun in pvp. I think this item was removed after abou…
Snapphanar ( Swedish guild only )
Sure you don't mean Danish guild? "A snapphane was a member of a 17th-century pro-Danish guerrilla organization that fought against the Swedes in the Second Northern and Scanian Wars." Source: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapphane[/url] Anyway, good luck.
What does your Screen Name mean?

What other games do Sandbox Interactive employees (and forum members) like to play?
Mostly CS GO but have started to grow tired of it yet again (mainly due to 3rd party programs ruining the scene) and have since started playing Dota 2 again.
have to download the game every day
@AbunA ok i got the impression you mean just letting the launcher download the game again after the "error waiting for xdelta tool" comes up. as i said, i had the error and it went away after a complete uninstall and new download of the webinstaller. but if u tried that already then just ignore what i said
have to download the game every day
its strange because i had the same error, did u guys really uninstall it via windows -> programms until the whole directoy is gone and reinstall it from albiononline.com/en/download ? thats what i did, worked for me.
Username Bug
is it only wrong in the chat or in the guild member list as well? is it also wrong within the world (your name label) ?
