​Disband alliance is replaced with "leave alliance" for the member guilds

Declaring attacks can only be done to territories who are neighboring your territory





You are also able to declare attacks through the world map

​The GVG overlay allows you to see which territories are connected to what

Most regions in Albion Online have a dungeon. The dungeons follow the rule-set of the region to which they are connected. This means that if you enter a dungeon in a non-PvP area the dungeon will also not allow PvP, however if you enter a dungeon in a PvP-enabled area the dungeon will also allow for PvP.

Dungeons in Albion Online are unrestricted and non instanced, and as such you may run into other people while inside.






Mob ranks


Mobs come in three different ranks: Standard, Veteran and Elite

Item tiers

Currently there are 8 tiers of items. The higher the tier, the stronger the item. Items have a linear progression of around 20-30% per tier.

Durability
All equipment items in Albion Online have durability. When the durability reaches 0 the item breaks, and turns into trash.

Item Quality

Item quality is another new addition to Albion Online. Every item crafted has now a small chance to appear as a higher quality. The higher your crafting mastery is with a particular item, the higher chance you have at crafting a higher-quality item.

The building menu can easily be accessed by pressing the hotkey "B"

Buildings are split into three categories, Economy, Military and Player House

Economy:
Under the Economy tab you will find all economy related buildings. This includes the refinement buildings, the repair & salvage station, the toolmaker and the transmutator.

Military:
Under the Military tab you will find all the buildings focused on crafting war gear. This includes the warrior's forge, hunter's lodge and the m[b]age's tower[/b]

Player House:
Under the Player House tab you will find all the housing related buildings. This includes the p[b]layer houses[/b] and the guild halls


Holding down the info button shows the construction cost of the building


If you are able to build the building on this location it will be shown as green. If not it will turn red, with a warning message informing you that the ground is unsuitable for construction


During building construction you need to provide all the required resources and the required silver.

Once all the resources have been put into the building, the construction is finished and the building will appear.

In front of all houses there is a sign post. If you click on this, you will access the house management menu


The house management menu

Residency System
The residency system is also a new feature to the housing system. When you open up the house management menu you will see in the house infobox a button called either "Make Home" or "Leave Home" this allows you to set your home location, which will be a respawn point for you when you die,

Residency is also limited, meaning there can only be a certain amount of people who are residents in each house. However, you can increase the residency slots by placing wardrobes in the house.

Guild halls are an excellent choice for guilds who plan to live together, as they offer a lot more resident slots (as well as furniture slots), allowing larger guilds to live out of a guild hall.

Furniture can put into two different categories, i[b]ndoor furniture[/b] and outdoor furniture.

Houses are built empty, and it's up to you to furnish them with the furniture you want.


The furniture item's menu, which appears if you click on it


Furniture placement mode


Furniture interaction menu. Furniture buffs last a long time, but can take a long time to refresh


1. Mob trophies can be anything from a special drop from a boss to a boar's head.

Each house has a limit on the amount of furniture placed in it. You are also unable to place a furniture item whose tier is higher that that of the house, so a tier 4 house can only support up to tier 4 furniture.

When you are not in a guild, this is how the guild menu will appear (Hotkey 'G')


The filters allow you to only show guilds that fit your need


The guilds are able to add their own guild description, which will come in handy for players choosing between guilds

The destiny board can be divided into three categories, Combat, Crafting and Gathering.

Combat:
Combat skills are progressed by killing foes. You unlock equipment of a higher tier by gaining kills with that same equipment of the tier below.

Crafting:
Crafting skills are progressed by crafting

Gathering:
Gathering skills are progressed by gathering. Unlocking these skills will allow you to use better gathering tools, thus enabling you to gather higher tier resources.

Working on unlocking the Novice Craftsman skill

Mastery levels are a new addition to Albion Online. They allow you to specialize in a specific skill and in turn hone that skill. For example, gaining a significant amount of kills with a tier 4 sword will grant you bonuses when using a tier 4 sword.

Combat equipment unlocks

*Main stat depends on the type of equipment; an armor piece will give more health and a weapon will give a boost to damage

Harvesting equipment unlocks


Crafting equipment unlocks


It's important to note that some skills do not have mastery levels, such as the resource refinement skills and those to do with overall fame progression.

Mounts currently come in three different kinds: Normal Horse, Armored Horse and Oxen

Mounts are expensive, but a good investment. Horses can greatly reduce your travel time in the world of Albion, and oxen can be a great way to move around large quantities of items.

Stables:


The only way to get a mount is in a stable. Stables are only found in cities (both player and non-player cities) and cannot be built by players.

Mount health
Mounts have their own health, however it's important to note that a mount's health and its durability are two separate measures.

When the mount's health reaches zero, you will be instantly forced into dismount mode, though the mount will not receive durability loss, and you will be able to spawn your mount again afterwards.

The durability for mounts functions the same as with any other item in the game - once it reaches zero, the item gets destroyed or in this case, the mount dies.

Resurrection:

To resurrect a dying player, first select the resurrect spell and then click on the dying body.

The ability to resurrect players is a new feature for Albion Online. The Staff of Restoration now offers the option to select a Resurrection spell which allows the player to resurrect dying players. Players who are dying will be lying on the ground with their gear still visible on their body (as seen in image)

A dying player will stay on the ground for up to 10 minutes as long as he or she does not trigger a respawn by selecting a location on the respawn screen. Dying players are still lootable, and any removal of their equipment will be visually represented on the character.

Loot:
When you die in Albion Online all your items drop on the ground. In PvP areas any player is able to loot items immediately, while in safe areas there is a 10 minute grace period during which only you are able to pick them up. Thus, if you do die in a safe area, you are able to quickly run back and pick up your stuff again (perhaps most reliably by selecting the respawn location "This Area")

Guild Warfare
There are two ways by which to initiate Guild Warfare. One, via entering the world map (Hotkey: M) and selecting a territory next to one of yours, or by going to a territory monolith and then selecting "attack".







Territory stats
There are two stats for territorial warfare: Defender Bonus and Defender Points

Defender Bonus: A stat change applied to the defenders of the territory, it goes up to +40% and down to -40%. This is modified by a guild's level of aggression over territory. Whenever you launch an attack from one territory your defender bonus will be lowered, meaning that a very aggressive guild which instigates many attacks on territories will have a much lower defender bonus than a relatively passive guild. Defender Points: A regenerating stat modified by Conquer battles lost (see below for an explanation of Conquering). A soon as a territory is claimed, the number of defender points attributed to that territory begins to increase gradually up to a maximum of 3. If the guild loses a Conquer attempt on the territory, the Defender Point total will drop by 1. Once the Defender Point total drops to 0, the guild must surrender the territory and hand it over to the triumphant enemy guild. If the guild manages to defend its territory from a Conquer attempt for long enough, the Defender Point they lost will regenerate. This gives a guild under attack three chances to defend their territory claim before it is usurped. Defender points facts:

• They are a representation of the ownership of your territory
• They regenerate by 1 point every 48 hours
• They are capped at 3 points
• If you lose a incoming 'conquer' attack, you lose a defender point

Attack methods
There are two modes of attack, with differing potential rewards: Raid and Conquer

Raid: Lowers target territory's Defender Bonus by 20, and raids 15,000 Silver from the enemy guild's guild vault - ideal for softening up a enemy before trying to conquer the territory.

Conquer: Lowers target territory's Defender Points by one point and lowers the target territory's Defender Bonus by 10, if defender points reaches zero then ownership of that territory is transferred to you.
