Dev Talk: Tracking and Potions

Wild Blood is nearby, and youll be able to hunt some down for yourself when the update launches. In this Dev Talk, Game Director Robin Henkys looks at Tracking, a new feature where you pursue creatures across the open world. [previewyoutube=chbbRlKZ;full][/previewyoutube]

Finding Tracks


The tracks of rare creatures can be found in the Outlands and in Red Zones of the Royal Continent. To interact with these, players need a Tracking Toolkit. These are craftable at the Toolmaker and can be used by:
  • Clicking on a track
  • Using from inventory
    • This reveals nearby tracks on the map
    • Higher tier Tracking Toolkits reveal tracks in a wider area

There are seven types of creature you can Track, each of which exists in two sizes:
  • A smaller one, for up to three players
  • A larger one, for four-to-eight players
If your party is too big or small the track, you wont be able to follow it. The first tracks that players can find are those of Panthers, Sylvians, and Spirit Bears. Rarer creatures require higher-level tracking skills and higher-tier Tracking Kits.

On the Prowl


After a track is successfully read, the hunt begins:
  • Players are guided to an area
  • Once you reach that area, you will have to search for further tracks or the target itself
  • Party members can collaborate to read tracks more quickly
  • Each completed step rewards Tracking Fame to all party members, which boosts your Tracking skill
  • The chances of encountering the target at each step increases with:
    • The number of steps already completed
    • Your Tracking skill

When you encounter your target, a fight ensues. But the creature may flee if:
  • Its health falls too low
  • The fight lasts too long
  • Too many players attack
A target that flees will have to be tracked to its new location, but any damage it has taken remains.

Spoils of the Hunt


A defeated creature can drop various new items which are used for the following:
  • Rare Animal Remains: enchanting Potions
  • Rare Ingredients: crafting new Potions and Shapeshifter Weapons
  • Artifacts: crafting Artifact Shapeshifter Weapons

These are the new Potions:
  • Calming Potion: from Shadowpanther Claws, provides a PvE disengage
  • Cleansing Potion: from Sylvian Roots, cleanses damage over time, crowd control, and debuffs
  • Acid Potion: from Spirit Bear Paws, decreases resistances
  • Berserk Potion: from Werewolf Fangs, boosts damage but decreases your defense
  • Hellfire Potion: from Imp Horns, deals damage-over-time
  • Gathering Potion: from Runestone Golem Teeth, increases gathering speed
  • Tornado Potion: from Dawnbird Feathers, knocks enemies back

Rare Animal Remains can be reduced to Arcane Extract, to enchant Potions:
  • Potions now have three levels of enchantment
  • The amount of Remains required for each enchantment level increases significantly
When Wild Blood launches, there will be an increased amount of tracks and creatures to allow players to hone their skills. But to keep the new items rare, the additional creatures will drop Silver and loot instead. After a time, these additional creatures will be removed, and those which remain will drop only the new items.
We cant wait to see players take part in this new economic activity, and start using these new items. Youll also be able to use them to craft Shapeshifter Weapons, of course, which will be the subject of our next Dev Talk. See you then!

  • 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.

    Key Features



    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.
