You can still run solo dungeons in these areas although many people nowadays buy t8 maps and use them in portal cities. They will point to a map max 1 zone away so it's relatively safe to do from cities now.

This stems from a change that allows all spawned maps up to T8 to spawn in any black zone unrelated to the zone tier. The zones will still have naturally spawned and upgraded dungeons of the zone tier in addition.

The daily challenge rewards 50000 keys to the weekly/monthly challenge progress and 10 LP in case you don't have premium so that's likely that.

Focus refining/crafting can be a bit more complex than that. Be sure to check how local production bonus works and calculate how much different materials would cost you to craft to see if they're profitable. Depending on the local production and daily production the actual profit may differ a lot.

Playing through steam has some disadvantages that may or may not hinder your gameplay:

• You can only connect one account (so up to 3 characters) to it. For more you'd need to use the native launcher.
• Purchases in the ingame shop are more expensive since steam takes a cut on every transaction. To circumvent this you could make purchases directly though the Albion Online Shop.

Apart from that the steam version works just as fine. You may sometimes run into issues if there's some steam-specific outage or bug but then you can still log in through the native launcher with your same account details.

No, there is no downside if you do it another players island. Just keep in mind that they could remove your permissions at any given time.

Outside of personal islands you can use focus on any Crafting and/or Refining you do.

Also with the new awakened weapons, you can use focus to reduce the attunement cost of a weapon.

As far as I know there are no weapons besides offhand but for gear you pretty much have an option for every piece of equipment:

• Assassin hood - channeled ability that greatly reduces your cooldowns.
• Royal jacket - An aura that reduces cooldowns and gives attack speed, can give the bonus to allied players as well.
• Any leather shoes - refreshing sprint slightly reduces cooldown while giving a decent amount of movement speed.
• Food options: Omelettes are the biggest one for cooldown reduction, you also have specialized omelettes like ava or crab that give other bonuses for a slight reduction. Then there's Eel stews which are a mix between stews and omelettes. Theoretically some fish but omelette is always the better option there.

There is surely a lot of information advanced players can gather from you.

• It starts with your guild or rather no guild, which gives away that you don't have any hideouts or territories that offer you a safe zone (means easier way to gank).
• Your gear gives away what kind of content you do. PvE gear usually means you are an easy target without a lot of extra loot, escape gear means you may be carrying something important and group PvP gear might mean that you're not alone.
• An addtional check on the stats can give away how experienced you are in PvP or in terms of crafters or gatherers, how much you might have in your backpack.

No, the silver that drops is actually a part of the silver you lost when your equipment got damaged.

From personal experience I'd say you'll see mostly 1000-1100 IP in stalker due to strong soft cap and around 1300-1600 IP for slayer since it has 50% soft cap.

Chance to catch eels might've been reduced since it's not as easy to find them but if they sell for double the price I wouldn't necessarly call that a nerf for fishermen.

It shows one of the quests as still active. You may need to talk to the NPC to the left again to unlock the travel planner.

Some purchases may need to be verified. Probably best to shoot our customer support a mail to ask whats up. You can do this through your profile here or by directly mailing them at [email protected]

The game will use one of them and eat through the durability. But the good news for you is that with higher tier these tools get a lot more durability so you'll quickly get to a point where one tool is sufficient for multiple hours of gathering.

To craft armors you need to select the 2nd tab on the crafting station. The first one will list weapons, the second armor pieces and the 3rd is for studying items.

This is a bit tricky and I'll try to answer this from my personal experience.

When entering a zone there's many things to look out for that give away if players are actively ganking or fighting in that zone. Each of these can be an alarm sign:

• Player kills on the minimap
• Blobs (red circles that give away larger groups)
• Dismounted players that are not engaged in PvE
• Meeting other players that are not running PvE builds (these players are either part of larger groups or actively looking to PvP)

A few tips on top:

• Use the invisibility shrines to get a bit deeper into the black zone and skip the first two maps.
• Make sure to keep your mount next to you and respond to any alarm signs above.
• Try out mists, grouping isn't possible here so you are less likely to get attacked by multiple players.

Your build is meant to be an "all-in" engage. When facing another player you want to first stack bleeds on your enemy before you use your helmet and jacket in combination with adrenaline boost and lastly your E ability. Your Electric Field & Whirlwind deal damage around you for their duration and the Adrenaline Boost will increase your movement speed and damage during its duration. You can also use potions to come out ahead in combat encounters. Most players would prefer healing, gigantify or resistance potions.

For PvE your build should be pretty good if you switch to the 2nd Q. It might just lack some energy sustain

These basic builds are mainly aimed at good PvE clearing and sustain. Group content is more focused around individual roles where you have tanks for CC, healers for sustain, supports for utility and damage dealers completely focused on doing area damage to enemies.

In my opinion the best thing you can do to prepare is to join a guild and check their guild loadouts. Most guilds usually have a variety of loadouts for different roles that they will ask you to wear and fame up. If you know what role you wanna play some people could probably help you out and suggest some builds for it.

Season point storage is a mechanic that was introduced to make holding territories at the end of a cycle meaningful and promote fights between top guilds over high value objectives.
Essentially a percentage of points that a territory generates are moved into the storage (inner ring takes highest % while outer territories don't take any). Once another guild conquers the territory a part of the season points is given to the new owner guild and another part is destroyed. The guild that holds the territory at the end of a cycle (day before invasion day or last day of the season) gets the full point payout.

If you own all these accounts and the steam money is obtained in a legal way you should be fine. To be 100% sure you can contact our customer support ([email protected]).
