What is the Albion Journal?
- The Albion Journal is an achievement system designed to challenge players to explore Albion’s many gameplay areas.[/*]
- For new players, this acts as a guide with incentives to explore the various activities available in the game[/*]
- Veterans, meanwhile, are encouraged to complete the most difficult achievements for truly exclusive rewards[/*]
How does it work?
- New players will gain access to the Journal once they've completed the tutorial[/*]
- Existing characters will have the Journal unlocked when the update arrives[/*]
- It can be opened directly from the HUD, to view open and completed missions[/*]
- A mission tracker in the HUD shows your current progress in selected missions[/*]
- The missions in the journal are sorted into categories, and each category is further split into subcategories[/*]
Progressing through the Journal
- Initial missions in each subcategory are a simple introduction to an area of gameplay[/*]
- As you progress through a subcategory, missions become increasingly difficult[/*]
- Missions can be completed out of order, even if they have not yet been unlocked – so don't worry about doing something you don't have a mission for, it will still count[/*]
Individual Mission Rewards
- Each mission grants a reward which can be claimed directly from the Journal UI[/*]
- These rewards include Silver, Tomes of Insight, Dungeon Maps, and more[/*]
- Tomes of Learning – a new, non-tradable item – are also available as a reward [list]
- These grant Learning Points when used[/*]
Category Rewards
- Completing a certain percentage of missions within each main category unlocks unique rewards[/*]
- Each category has a themed Avatar, Avatar Ring, Wardrobe Item with a Vanity Spell, and Mount Skin[/*]
- Completing all missions in a category will grant you a super-rare, elite version of the wardrobe item[/*]
