Dev Talk: Paths to Glory Introduction
The most common request we heard was for changes to the Roads of Avalon. Many players said they couldnt find the content they were looking for in the Roads, but our data showed activity there to be higher than ever. For this update, we decided to focus on the core experience we had in mind when designing the Roads: an extension of the open world, creating interesting connections between places and offering opportunities for small groups. In the meantime, well continue to think about other ways to provide the kind of small-scale PvP content that players are looking for.
Heres whats changing in the Roads: Zones
Content and Rewards
Activity-Based Spawn Rates is a significant new feature coming to the Roads and the open world.
Paths to Glory will introduce the third batch of Crystal Weapons.
All this is coming to Albion next month when Paths to Glory launches - and thats not to mention the heart of the update: the Albion Journal. Join us for another Dev Talk soon, where well take a look at this new feature and the unique rewards it brings to the game!

Guild Island Improvements
- Guilds can now own multiple islands
- Up to one island for each Royal City, plus Caerleon
- Guild Islands now visually reflect the biome and atmosphere of their parent city
Weapon Changes
- Players can double-overcharge their weapons in combat
- This prolongs the overcharge duration
- However, it also increases the risk of the weapon breaking afterwards
- Players can now use all spells on weapons of Tier 4 and above
- This will increase gameplay variety for lower tiers
Roads of Avalon Changes
The most common request we heard was for changes to the Roads of Avalon. Many players said they couldnt find the content they were looking for in the Roads, but our data showed activity there to be higher than ever. For this update, we decided to focus on the core experience we had in mind when designing the Roads: an extension of the open world, creating interesting connections between places and offering opportunities for small groups. In the meantime, well continue to think about other ways to provide the kind of small-scale PvP content that players are looking for.
Heres whats changing in the Roads: Zones
- Mob tiers standardized in each different Roads area
- Adjusted connections from the open world:
- Blue and Yellow Zones usually lead to Tier 4 Roads
- Red and Black Zones usually lead to Tier 6 Roads
- Tier 8 Roads are now exclusive to Deep Roads and Raid Clusters
- Number of Raid Clusters is being increased
- This means Hideouts connect to Raid Clusters more frequently
- They also have a few connections to non-Hideout regions, to increase competition
Content and Rewards
- The Roads contain fewer areas dedicated to gathering
- Resource respawn rates are increasing, to keep the total resource output the same
- More PvE areas have been added
- These offer less Fame than before, to balance their leveling potential with other content
- To compensate, they offer more loot instead
- Tracking has been added to the Roads
- This includes a new target that can be hunted here and in the open world: the Shadowmask
Activity-Based Spawn Rates
Activity-Based Spawn Rates is a significant new feature coming to the Roads and the open world.
- Each servers activity levels will be measured ongoingly
- Spawn and upgrade rates for treasures, mobs, and resources will adjust based on this metric
- During Prime Time, it should be easier to find content
- During low-activity periods, it will be more challenging and competitive to find massive rewards
New Crystal Weapons
Paths to Glory will introduce the third batch of Crystal Weapons.
- Twin Slayers (Daggers): creates a ring of spinning blades that return to the caster, cutting through all enemies in their path
- Dreadstorm Monarch (Mace): creates a growing storm around you, slowing enemies and shredding their resistances
- Exalted Staff (Holy Staff): can remove areas like Sacred Ground
Other Improvements
- The Party Ready Check function lets party leaders see when their group members are ready for action
- Corrupted Dungeon Maps allow you to easily open entrances to these dungeons
- Three new activity events for Roads of Avalon, Tracking, and the Mists
- Improved filtering in the Rankings UI
- Rescaled Destiny Board with improved zoom functionality for desktop users
All this is coming to Albion next month when Paths to Glory launches - and thats not to mention the heart of the update: the Albion Journal. Join us for another Dev Talk soon, where well take a look at this new feature and the unique rewards it brings to the game!

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.
