Dev Talk: Power Cores and HQ Hideouts
Additionally, entering owned Hideouts set as "Home" grants temporary Fame buff (based on Hideout power level) in the Outlands
Earning and maintaining HQ Hideouts is no easy task, but being protected from attack allows guilds to make their own choices and forge their own destiny in Albion. (Note: HQs will be added to the Roads of Avalon in a later update; until then, Power Cores cannot be taken through the Roads.) Subscribe for upcoming videos on War Gloves, Elite Levels, and more!

Lands Awakened arrives November 24, bringing major open-world features, Guild Season changes, and more. In our newest Dev Talk, Robin Henkys discusses Hideout Power Cores and Headquarters Hideouts, two related features that will shake up guild warfare and open-world PvP.

Hideout Power Cores
- New capturable open-world objective
- Spawn anywhere in the Outlands in shielded state
- While shielded, marked on local map but cannot be interacted with
- After a short period, the shielding ends, allowing players on foot to pick up and carry the Power Core
- If player is killed or drops the core, it remains for several minutes before dissipating
- Capturing Power Cores:
- Can be captured at a Hideout owned by the capturing player's guild
- Increases the Hideouts power level, which increases its crafting bonuses
Additionally, entering owned Hideouts set as "Home" grants temporary Fame buff (based on Hideout power level) in the Outlands
Further Details
- Beyond Hideout rewards, players in parties capturing Power Cores receive significant Might and Favor
- Cores spawn in varying strengths:
- Weaker: unlock sooner, less Power
- Stronger: visible further, longer shielding times, significant power boosts
- Overall, Power Cores appear more frequently and with less warning than Energy Vortices, allowing smaller groups to claim them easier
Headquarters Hideouts
- Qualifying guilds can declare a Hideout "Headquarters" (HQ)
- Invulnerable to attack if properly powered
- Two downsides:
- Only accessible by owning guild
- Must be maintained
Establishing HQ Hideouts
- Must earn sufficient Season Points in previous season to qualify
- Higher points earned unlocks better region Tier / Quality (e.g. 40,000 Energy Surge Season Points unlocks up to Tier 7 / Quality 3)
- (Full qualification requirements: https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/156756)
- Once per season, a Hideout construction site can be protected:
- Site placement follows usual restrictions
- After 20 minutes (NOTE: the video states 15 minutes, which is incorrect), it can be made invulnerable for the remainder of construction, turning it into an HQ
- Boost also provides some starting Power
Maintenance
- If HQ's Power falls below required amount at start of battle time, it becomes vulnerable
- Preventable if owning guild captures Power Cores
- Power required depends on zone Quality
- High Power drains quicker, making it harder to maintain HQs in high-Quality regions
- To assist maintenance, Power from cores is increased by 50% in HQs
- Hideouts lose HQ status if the owners don't meet region requirements at season's end
- Damaged HQs are vulnerable until fully restored
Conclusion
Earning and maintaining HQ Hideouts is no easy task, but being protected from attack allows guilds to make their own choices and forge their own destiny in Albion. (Note: HQs will be added to the Roads of Avalon in a later update; until then, Power Cores cannot be taken through the Roads.) Subscribe for upcoming videos on War Gloves, Elite Levels, and more!

Epic Pack
Legendary Pack
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.
