Wild Blood Hotfix #3

Balancing Adjustments to Tracking

  • We have been following your progress and activity around tracking closely, and have decided to remove all large group hunts for targets that would have dropped Silver.
  • That means every large group Tracking target will now drop ingredients, and has a chance to drop an artifact.
  • There are no changes to small group hunts yet, as we want to analyze the impact of this change without muddying the results with additional changes.
Combat Balance Change
We are keeping a very close eye on the integration of the new weapons and potions into Albion's meta. For the most part it is still too early to tell exactly how strong they are. However, one adjustment we already see needed is the reduction of the Reality Fissure range. This is necessary because Reality Fissure provided Shapeshifters in human for... Read more

Hello everyone,

With today’s patch release we decided to set the Gold market purchase fee introduced in August to 0% on both Albion East and West.

This means buying Gold from other players no longer has additional costs associated with it (apart from the fixed 10s order fee it always had).

There’s two reasons for this:
  • The fee didn’t stop margin trading, the margins just moved further apart
  • The fee doesn’t seem to have a significant effect on the price of premium (the introduction of new silver sinks in Wild Blood on the other hand seems to have pushed the price down quite a bit)
Obviously we’ll be observing the impact of this change and take other actions if the outcome isn’t as we expected.

Happy trading,

Eltharyon

Wild Blood Patch 1 - Ver. 23.010.1 - November 6, 2023

Tracking Changes

  • Now that a good number of players have made sufficient Tracking progress and overall activity for the feature is normalizing, all additional creatures which drop Silver have been removed. This means every Tracking target will now at least drop rare ingredients, with the chance of dropping artifacts as well.
  • In red zones, loot from Tracking will be protected for the Tracking party, as long as they engage in combat with the tracked creature
    • If the Tracking party did not engage in combat, loot will be protected for whoever kills the tracked creature
    • PvP-flagged players are still able to claim loot
  • Sylvian shield applied to allies during a channeling phase now removes all effects when either the shield breaks or the ally suffers a force...

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... Read more

The battlefield is a wasteland. All around, the earth is parched and littered with hundreds of trashed, useless weapons. Rats pick at what they can before scuttling away into the shadows. For a second, it seems like all life has ceased. Then the smoke clears, the earth shakes, and across the carnage steps the meanest, scariest pony you’ve ever seen in your life.

Yep, a new Referral Season has begun - refer a friend now and get the Heretic Warsteed skin for your Armored Horse base mount!

Hey fellow Adventurers,

You may have already noticed that another Island Move Period has started. But there are a couple of things to be aware of:
  1. The Island Move Period lasts until October 16th
  2. You can only move your island once
  3. The Island must have been created before maintenance on September 16th to be movable
  4. Islands cannot be moved from or to Brecilien
  5. An island move cannot be reversed
There are some exciting changes to Farming and Islands coming with the upcoming update, and of course we want you to be able to make an informed decision about where to move your island to before these changes go live.
For this reason, we’re giving you a little sneak peek of some of these changes.

With the Wild Blood update, crops, herbs, and farm animals will thrive differently in different biomes. Each city will have Local... Read more
