To encourage active Outlands play, Territories now generate far fewer Season Points if they are low on energy, but have a much higher maximum potential if they stay at maximum level.

Primary Goals
- Allow players to earn Season Points for their guild via small-scale activities
- Grant personal as well as guild rewards for making progress
- Shift the focus of Guild Seasons from passive territory control to player activity
Conqueror's Challenge
- The Conqueror's Challenge replaces the existing Guild Season reward system
- Runs for the duration of a Guild Season
- Available to all Premium players, whether in a guild or not
- Uses a new type of points called Might
- Earning Might unlocks powerful and unique rewards, including new Seasonal Avatars for multiple levels, Battle Mounts, and Fame Boosts
Might
Might is earned by participating in activities with a risk of PvP:
- Killing mobs / gathering in the Outlands or Roads of Avalon
- Opening Treasure chests
- Killing Siphoning Mages / Crystal Spiders
- Playing Hellgates / Crystal League
- Winning Corrupted Dungeon matches
- Capturing Territory Energy Crystals (see below)
Favor
- When a player earns Might, in most cases they will also earn Favor
- Favor is a currency which can be used to purchase Siphoned Energy and additional reward chests
- Favor thus offers a direct economic benefit to earning Might
Guild Might Levels
As players earn Might and Favor for themselves, they contribute to another new feature, Guild Might Levels:
- Guilds earn Season Points for each Might Level they complete
- All members contribute to these together
- Each activity has its own Might progress, allowing players numerous ways to contribute while earning Might and Favor for themselves
Guild Might Levels in turn benefit guild members:
- With each new bracket unlocked, members are rewarded with a significant amount of personal Might
- Members also get a bonus to Might generated for the rest of the season
- A new Season Overview allows players to see their guilds current ranking, where its Season points came from, and which players contributed the most Might
Energy Vortices
- Like Open World Treasures, these spawn unpredictably in the Outlands
- Marked on the world and local map for everyone within a few regions
- After a time dependent on its strength, the storm dissipates, dropping a Territory Energy Crystal
- Crystals can be picked up and carried on foot to an owned territory
- Crystals transported successfully can be "captured" at the Tower
Territory Energy Levels
Captured Crystals boost the Territory's energy, which:
- Increases its Tower level
- Improves the rate at which Siphoned Energy and Season Points are generated
- Boosts guard strength
- Boosts enchanted resource spawn rate / gathering yield in the zone
Territory Rebalancing
To encourage active Outlands play, Territories now generate far fewer Season Points if they are low on energy, but have a much higher maximum potential if they stay at maximum level. Season success is thus less dependent on passive income, instead requiring guilds to remain active around their Territories. Of course, players participating in this are also rewarded with significant Might and Favor themselves.
In Summary
The Conquerors Challenge, Might Levels and Energy Vortices allow players to push their guild towards victory with smaller-scale activities, while earning rewards for themselves and enjoying new open-world PvP objectives. Stay tuned for the next Dev Talks, where we'll discuss Headquarters Hideouts, Power Cores, War Gloves and more!

Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG set in an open medieval fantasy world. The game features a player-driven economy where nearly every item is player-crafted. Combine armor pieces and weapons suited to your playstyle in a unique, classless "you are what you wear" system. Explore the world, take on other adventurers in thrilling battles, conquer territories, and build a home.
Craft. Trade. Conquer.
Dive in now and become part of a living fantasy world where everybody matters.
From basic tools and clothes to mighty armors and powerful weapons – nearly every item in the game is crafted by players, in player-constructed buildings, from resources gathered by players. Buy, sell, and trade with other players at local marketplaces all across the world of Albion. Craft rare and powerful items, then sell them to the highest bidder and grow your fortune.
In Albion Online's classless combat system, you are what you wear. The weapons and armor you use define your skills, and switching playstyles is as easy as switching gear. Test out new equipment anytime and change up your weapons, armor, and mounts to suit any situation. Hone your character’s skills by crafting new items, or by simply using your favorite equipment.
From solo to small-group to large-scale battles, you'll need strategy, tactics, and skill to prevail. Test yourself against other adventurers in high-risk, high-reward full-loot fights. Level your combat specializations, create unique builds with complementary skills, and use every tool at your disposal to emerge victorious.
Join a guild and carve out your own piece of Albion in massive open-world battles. Claim territories for access to incredible resources, construct guild halls, and conquer entire cities to levy taxes and grow your wealth. Build a Hideout to give your guild a powerful home base deep in dangerous lands. Lead your guild to victory in the Crystal League, and track your progress against other guilds worldwide on a constantly-updated seasonal leaderboard.
Claim a city plot or private island and make it your own. Grow crops to sell or craft into food, raise your own livestock and mounts, and place crafting stations for other players to use for a fee. Stock your house with custom furniture and trophies, build chests to store your growing collection of loot, and hire laborers to keep everything at your homestead running smoothly.
From small scouting bands to massive bosses, from dungeons to full-blown faction bases, the inhabitants of Albion’s open world await your challenge. Take on six different factions, each with different enemies that require unique strategies. Partake in solo or group Expeditions, or seek out the ultimate thrill by facing demons and other players alike in Hellgates and Corrupted Dungeons.
Explore five beautiful biomes, each with its own challenges. Gather valuable raw materials for crafting, or cast a line into Albion's waters to catch rare and valuable fish. Seek out randomly generated solo and group dungeons and slay powerful foes for valuable loot. Enter the mystical Roads of Avalon to discover ever-changing paths between distant zones, face off against long-dormant foes, and build your own Hideout in this vast and ancient land.
Albion Online is a true cross-platform MMO experience. Whether you prefer Windows, Mac, Linux, or even Android or iOS (mobile currently in beta), one account lets you play on all platforms, with all players on a single shared server. Forge alliances with other players worldwide and take part in massive battles to determine the fate of Albion.
