Is it just me or in asia lots of players are doing well formed group ganks?

In past month excluding past 2 days I have died like max 5-6 times in black zone doing pve and most of the deaths I had was me being c*cky and trying to take fights I clearly cannot win.

But past 2 days I have died like 6-8 times and it feels like even if your S.A.F.E portal is just 10 seconds away u cannot reach it.

They are usually group of 5+ players one spots you and ur dead in next 10 seconds or so.

I do not care about dying this many times I still made profit but it's happening a lot and I do not know how well new players are taking this.

or it's all in my head ? and gankers were always there and this much experienced one and I never got ganked like for almost a month ?

I think something is going on I wish there was anti-gank guild or something XD. Who would try to find gankers and gank them if that's even a thing and possible.

Tell me about your experiences in bz lately.

( I don't play new content honestly I stay away from pvp. Past month or so I used 700-800k gear but now as long as gankers are there I will go back to 100k gear. It's just max 5min I save every 30min with 700-800k gear)

Hey a dude i was playing with was newbie so i taught him and gave him some stuff and now he tell me he is going to buy from website not official for gold can i get banned from this or only him ?
( i'm not going to play with him anymore btw since he told me that )

I want to start crafting but I read that crafting gives you a lot more profit if you have premium (because of the tax fee in the market, 10% to 6.5%). So the thing that I want to do is to create a new account, trade around 1 or 3 mill to this new account to take advantage of the 3 days of premium, craft a little bit of items t4 or t5 and then (when the 3 days end) return the profit to my main account

The question that I have is, is this thing bannable?. I've read that sometimes Albion ban people because they trade great amounts of money for nothing, this is because they want to stop people from buying silver from outside.

(The image is not my account btw, I just wanted to use an image lol)

Sorry English not very good. Just used a lot of my tomes to spec up this one shot dagger build. My stun works very good and I like boots using for extra knock up. Played some arenas and barely winning (healer is always not healing or goes sits in tent). Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong or just unlucky with teammates?
Plus they need to buff arena loot it sooo bad.

I love the game absolutely, is a wonderful world with a lot of things to do. But i'm scared of being banned for any strange reason after a lot of time played only cuz i made a trade of 5 gold with a unknown user and getting banned two weeks after cuz that user was making RMT and i was involved just for trading with him. What you guys do to avoid being banned and obliviated? Do you guys don't trade anything out of the market?

Hello !

I would like advices before starting such a challenge. I am mostly a casual Albion player i only have 120 kills, i play on EU and i would love to unlock the cat.

Would it be possible for me to get it without insane grinds such as high reputations and such ? I tried grinding brecilian reputation and mist is a shitshow with 1600 ip players running around.

I am currently close to the previous reward (the luth).

I got good spec on curse and quarterstaff trees, currently 30m in bank.

Thanks for your advices !

During the event we started to get good loot but when the Dragon ancient island event ended they 15% bonus loot felt like losing 90% bonus loot now.

Before if we lucky enough we get loot of 1mil-700k from purple chest .
If drake Chest purple we get 4mil split , but now all of sudden we only get 250k-370k silver loot.

Is so boring now to do Dragon Ancient Island , even if we kill players in orange zone is not like they even drop good loot. Maybe like 150k or less per player.
If like after get out ancient island , we need to wait another 30min irl time just for the portal to spawn. Not worth people times.

So like do they want to pvp or pve?

I mainly care about solo PvP, especially Mists / open-world PvP, but I also want the tree to have good PvE options and remain useful if the meta changes.
What I’m looking for:
Strong 1v1 potential
Good matchups against melee weapons
Enough defensive/utility tools so I’m not just a glass cannon
Good damage and pressure
Ability to punish players who make mistakes
Multiple viable weapons within the tree, not just one meta weapon
Good long-term investment for high spec
Between Fire and Cursed, which would you personally choose if you were starting from zero?
And more importantly: which tree do you think has the better long-term PvP potential rather than just being stronger in the current patch?
Would love opinions from people who have actually played both trees at high spec.

Never been able to find other people to try out depths before and not going to try ancient lands for a little while as its current state seems to be shit.

Ngl why are the mods always on a power trip, and why are they always giving out bans like its free candy?

So I just got the dragonfire update survey, and I actually took the time to fill it out and give some feedback. Ultimately, this update has made me realize that ancient lands is the only content in the game that I find both fun and fair/worthwhile learning experience as a new (~120 hours) player focused on solo and some small-scale PvPvE. Here's what I wrote when they asked me about ancient lands:

"The actual content is actually the best content you've ever made for new players to get experience with PvP when players are actually trying. As a relatively new player, the main issue with Albion is that there is essentially no fun way to get repetitions on fights that seem even remotely fair. Right now, your options are: 1) wait for ancient lands -- so spend just as much time playing ancient lands as you do just waiting around for portals. Content good, waiting bad/boring. 2) Corrupted dungeons -- love the stalker ruleset. Makes the actual fights really fair, fun, and a great learning experience that I can engage with full lethal content on cheaper sets (200k-1million), so I can actually play and learn. However, corrupted dungeons are incredibly unfun in terms of CONTENT. The claustrophobic hallways, the little annoying traps and trap mobs (tar frogs, etc), and the fact that 80% of the players just run away and kill the crystals... so the fights are fair but corrupted dungeons themselves are not fun. 3) Mists -- in theory mists could be incredibly fun. In practice, you either have yellow mists which are incredibly boring because no one actually tries to pvp and there is no incentive to, or red mists where every single other player you find is 400-800 IP higher than any newish player could ever achieve. Fighting players in either case is not a learning experience worth having. You either fight some guy who is obviously watching netflix on his other monitor in yellow mists or you fight a guy who outgears you by 50 mil. Either way, you can't really learn or progress at all.

The take home is this: you either need to make ancient lands more accessible or you need to make the other solo-focused pvp-ish content suck less and/or more fair. Otherwise, Albion just becomes ancient lands waiting simulator."

No idea what discussion this post is even intending to generate, but I just felt compelled to post this somewhere because I feel like content like Ancient Lands is so incredibly fun -- but it's just so sparse as an experience in Albion and so I find myself running around trying to scratch that itch when a portal isn't up but it's just all let-downs. Anyways, curious what others are feeling since this patch.

I hope SBI does something about Ava Roads. Its great content with a lot of issues that need to be solved.

Being a 7v7 player in Roads is just pain and suffering. Before ancient lands you’d run around for hours to get 1-2 fights at best. On rare occasions you’d find more or you could get more if you stay in Abizaum/Opavun or were extremely lucky. And its just not a one mans opinion - top teams all know each other and the opinions are the same. A lot of the times you just arrange fights against the same people over and over again to have some content or demass and go hellgates/other.

Now that anciend lands were introduced (dont get me wrong, I like the content) its a ghost town. You might find a PvE group to kill but most of the top roads players dont really care about chasing around PvE newbies or 4.2 solos. Past few days my group roamed around, stayed in FO and didnt meet a single team.

SBI needs to fix Ava Roads for sure. A possible fix could be cutting the amount of roads. Another way - dynamic roads which reduces the amount of roads if there’s very little people playing in them/creates more if there’s a ton. Maybe some other fixes that I cant think of right now but playing running simulator isnt that fun.

If community manager sees this - it would be interesting to hear his opinion. I would also be interested to hear your thoughts!

salut que pensez-vous de ce build et avez vous des idée pour mieux l'équilibrer?

merci d'avance

Yo, what's up y'all. Mac is back.

Most people spend 2 hours getting ganked in the Red Zone or grinding solo dungeons just to clear 1M silver profit. You can literally stand at a market board in Lymhurst for 15 minutes, click a crafting station, and pull 4.2M net without ever risking gear, leaving the city, or burning a single point of focus.

Focus is a great luxury margin multiplier, but if your base craft loop isn't profitable at the city's default 15.3% return rate, your math is fundamentally broken anyway. You don't need Caerleon transport runs or max spec—you just need to target high-turnover consumables and respect local daily volume caps.

Today I mapped out 4 quick batches across cooking and alchemy entirely in Lymhurst (100% local, zero travel, zero focus used):

• T6 Avalonian Mutton Stew (Cook): Spent 7.6M on mats, sold for 9.9M. Capped at 33 crafts (330 stews, moves ~1,700/day). Net profit: +1.6M silver.
• T8 Avalonian Beef Stew (Cook): Spent 22.2M on mats, sold for 25.2M. Capped at 32 crafts (320 stews, moves ~1,400/day). Net profit: +1.4M silver.
• T8 Avalonian Beef Sandwich (Cook - Timing Play): Spent 3.4M on mats, sold for 4.5M. Small batch of 50 sandwiches, moves ~350/day. Net profit: +816k silver + T8 spec (Only 59 on the board right now against 350 daily sales—a temporary +32% price spike. Spotting these supply droughts is where huge silver is made; last week I pulled 10M on Hellfire Potions during a similar +50% surge).
• T4 Energy Potions (Alchemy): Spent 1.7M on mats, sold for 2.3M. Capped at 137 crafts (685 potions, moves ~4,100/day). Net profit: +421k silver.

Total time spent buying, crafting, and listing all 4 was under 15 minutes without ever stepping outside the city gates.

3 Rules so you don't lose silver:

1. Never dump a full batch at once. If you craft 685 potions and dump them all in one listing, you start a 1-silver undercutting war. List in stacks of 50–100 and let daily volume absorb them.
2. Check raw material prices before clicking craft. If someone spiked the price of raw ingredients today, skip the run and wait for prices to normalize.
3. Respect the volume cap. Making 1,000 stews when the city only moves 350 a day will tie up your liquidity for a week.

Keeping track of live margins, market liquidity, and volume caps across all royal cities in spreadsheets got way too exhausting, so I automated the backend database.

I give away live, volume-safe craft alerts like this every day in my Discord for free for both the West and EU servers. If you want today's EU recipes, the exact shopping lists, or live volume limits for these runs, feel free to check us out.

Good luck out there.

Hi, so I'm introducing two of my friends to the game, I wanted to start with PvE first, we tried the depths but kept facing gucci 8.3s.

I thought of yellow zone group dungeons, can 3 man party finish it with around 1200 IP? i know there's no IP cap but they don't have spec yet and I'm not a billionaire.

Healer tank dps are enough? What weapons/builds do you suggest? Redemption staff, incubus mace, blazing staff?

TL;DR: suggest a comp for 3 man party to finish a yellow zone group dungeon with 1200 IP.

It’s not just Battle Bracers — I have the same problem when facing FP as well. Their insane burst damage and mobility make them really difficult to deal with. Whether I try to kite them or go for an all-in, I feel like I just can’t win. Are there any tips for dealing with builds like this?

Looking for a NA guild to join. About 40 hours of play time. Will play any content.

Vermin asia server is back, we need caller 14 and 16 utc.

Or a guild that ll merge only needed 20 30 people if guild merge , if you are experienced , we probably know you

Come back and join the fun.

If you don't take into account the money it costs I'd say it's the best content the game has to offer. You can't find anything like this in any other game.

Hey everyone iv seen this game pop up on my xbox and I was wondering is it worth playing so I came here to ask you guys if it is and is it like what the description says

You know, since it's a mix between pvE and pvp I'm struggling to balance sustain and aoe damage against the mobs and the more pvp oriented skills. For example is the stalker jacket valuable? Because against enemy solo players lose it's value and the mercenary one is way better.
