Lands Awakened Update - Hotfix 4

Fixes

• Resolved an issue that caused some Hellgate NPCs to yield much more fame than intended. These NPCs now correctly give 20% more Fame than they did previous to the Lands Awakened update. The same issue affected Aspects and Group Resource Mobs in the Roads of Avalon as well as Territory Guards to a lesser degree. Those have been fixed as well.
  
• Resolved an issue that caused Energy Manipulator Battlevaults in Hideouts to lose their contents when upgrading from Level 2 to Level 3. Further information about replacement of items lost due to this bug will be posted in the coming days.
  
• Fixed an issue where Achievements related to Expeditions and Crystal League would unlock even though the correct conditions were not fulfilled.
  

Lands Awakened Update - Hotfix 3
Desktop versions of the game (PC, Mac, Linux) have received new clients
Mobile versions (iOS, Android) have received a 'softpatch', i.e. there will be a small download when you launch the app

Guild Might Level Fix

This hotfix corrects an issue where Guild Might Levels were progressing much faster than intended. This means that your guild will keep the Total Might earned by category thus far, but since the Might Level progression is now different, your Guild’s Might Level will be reduced to the new intended level.

Any Season Points earned due to the faster level progression before this fix will be removed again in the coming days, so no guild will keep any advantage from this bug. For more information, see this post: ... Read more

Lands Awakened Update - Hotfix 2

• Fixed an issue where new buildings did not have full durability - all buildings affected by this bug should now have been corrected
  
• Fixed an issue where Faction Crests could not be purchased from the Faction NPC
  
• Fixed an issue where certain Achievements related to the Destiny Board did not unlock (they will still unlock retroactively now)
  
• Resolved an issue that sometimes prevented Static Dungeon boss chests from spawning alongside the boss that protected them. This significantly increases the overall rewards in Static Dungeons.
  
• Changed despawn timers of Static Dungeon boss chests from 12 hours to 5 minutes after being opened
  

On November 24, 2021, the Lands Awakened update goes live. This update improves and expands nearly every aspect of Albion's open world: reworked open-world dungeons with limited-time events and exits in multiple zones, as well as open-world mobs that increase in power and value over time, offer substantial rewards to those who venture into unexplored zones. All five biomes have been overhauled with massively improved visuals and updated terrains and layouts, bringing new depth and vibrancy to exploration, travel, and gathering, and an expanded soundtrack with new city, Hideout, Tutorial, and Destiny Board themes, as well as numerous new combat cues, adds excitement and emotion to the world.

Lands Awakened, Albion's next content update, goes live on November 24. With this update, all open-world zones will have their terrain, layouts, and visuals updated.

Deployment of the update will begin with maintenance at 10:00 UTC on Wednesday. After the update is live, your player character will be moved to the entrance of the zone they were in when the update was deployed, and all furniture (including crates) left in the open world will be destroyed. If you have furniture placed in the open world you will also have received an ingame mail. Please be sure to collect any furniture placed in the open world that you wish to save before then.

Additionally, Hideouts will remain in approximately the same part of the zone, but may be moved slightly and may also have different surroundings. You will be allowed one manual move per Hideout, within the same zone, within the first 72 hours after the update launches.

Hello all,

With the Lands Awakened update on November 24, Usage Fees for player-owned buildings will become more transparent and straightforward, and overall crafting will have a clearer and better-balanced progression based on its raw ingredients.

NOTE: The term "crafting" in this description refers to both crafting and refining, as the values, costs, Focus returns, etc. for both processes are calculated based on the same raw resources.

Usage Fee Changes

• Usage Fees are now derived directly from the Nutrition an Item consumes when it is crafted/studied at a building
  
• Usage Fees are now set as an amount of Silver per 100 Nutrition consumed
  
  • Formerly...

Hello all,

With the Lands Awakened update on November 24, Albion's biomes will receive a massive visual upgrade, and layouts of all open-world zones in the game will be updated.

Hideouts will be automatically adjusted to fit into the updated zone maps, and will likely not move very far in their overall position within the zone. However, as other features such as dungeon entrances, choke points, and general layout may change with the update, we are allowing a one-time Hideout move after the update goes live, with the following conditions:

• This single Hideout move must be completed within three days of the update launch, i.e. ending approximately 72 hours after the maintenance period in which the update was launched
  
• Hideouts can only be moved within their current zone
  
• Each eligible Hideout can only be moved once, and once placed cannot be reverted to its original position o...

Hello all,

As there has been some uncertainty about whether the energy dropped by Siphoning Mages during Guild Seasons is subject to seasonal multipliers, we wanted to provide clearer communication about how this feature will work going forward, in both the short and longer term.

In past seasons, energy generated by Siphoning Mages was included in the "points doubled" multiplier that went into effect on the final Invasion Day, but energy dropped by Siphoning Mages when they were killed was not.

For the current Energy Surge season, starting with the last Invasion Day on October 9 points and energy generated have been subject to a 2x multiplier, but energy dropped has not. Based on the rules announced for this season, this is considered a bug, and will be fixed with maintenance on October 13. The upcoming triple and quadruple multipliers on October 23 and October 30 will apply not only to Season Points, but also to all Siphoned Energy generated and droppe... Read more
