[h3]Write your Journal[/h3]
This update introduces the Albion Journal, a brand-new achievement system with missions for every type of player, from the very beginners to the most seasoned veterans, covering the full breadth of Albion’s content. Each mission has its own prize - like bags of Silver and new Tomes of Learning - while your progress through each category grants you unique, themed rewards. So whether you’re an extravagant merchant tossing around your wealth, or a rugged gatherer with a barbeque-bearing boar, you’ll be able to demonstrate your expertise to all around you.

[h3]A Dynamic World[/h3]
An important new feature is coming to the open world and the Roads of Avalon: Dynamic Spawn Rates. This adjusts the amount of treasure, resources, and mobs which appear at a given time based on each server’s activity levels, with more available during peak hours. The Roads have received some adjustments too, with rebalanced zones and content, and the introduction of Tracking. And speaking of which, there’s a sinister new Rare Quarry out there to hunt down: the Shadowmask.

[h3]Quality-of-Life Improvements[/h3]
Weapons now have all of their spells unlocked from Tier 4, bringing greater diversity to combat and giving you more to play with early on. Items can be overcharged twice, too, allowing fierce, large-scale battles to rage for longer. New Crystal Weapons are coming for Daggers, Maces, and Holy Staffs. Guilds can now own multiple islands, with beautiful new visuals that reflect the atmosphere and biome of their host city. Countless other quality-of-life changes are being introduced as well, including improvements to the Destiny Board and a new Party Ready Check system.
