What's the fame requirement for 42069?

Pretty much none -- just be a goon and be active-ish and you can join it instead of 250k.

Ultimately -- alliance chat > guild chat unless youre in the "main" AC but even then, we try to run ARCH like it really is 1 big guild through discord/alliance chat.

What's a good healing weapon to work on leveling while waiting to get accepted to guild?

Do you prefer insta heal (holy) or heal over time (nature)? If holy -- try out fallen staff (best ZVZ staff)... if nature, try out rampant or wild staff.

Went ahead and farmed up to T6 for both Holy and Nature so I'd have some choices. This game will be terrible on my class ADD.
Got ganked a few times trying to get out to GMK, so I've just been running T7 dungeons in red zones until I unlock T8 reaver.

Most alliances (and all of the tryhard ones) are much worse than ARCH when it comes to gamer words and poo poo like that -- something about full loot games makes people extremely vile to eachother.

That being said -- if you are having more fun in Newby, go for it... to each their own.

quote:

Dear Albion Community,

As you might have read in the news, Sandbox Interactive will be joining Stillfront in January 2021. Stillfront consists of a family of game studios that largely work independently, while sharing knowledge and expertise between them to support each other.

For the past eight years, we have been building Albion Online up completely on our own - everything from development, to marketing, translations, customer support has been built up by ourselves. Now that Albion is growing at a massive rate, we realize that being on our own is not always an advantage. There are just too many things we’d have to master, and while we believe no one can develop Albion Online better than we can, there are plenty of areas around the game itself where we could benefit from additional expertise. This is why we decided to join the Stillfront Family. The partnership with Stillfront allows us to remain fully invested in Albion Online and its development, focusing on making the best Sandbox MMORPG experience in the world, while benefiting from Stillfront’s expertise in marketing and publishing to spread the word of Albion Online around the world.

For you, the players, this will mean more people to play with, more capacities for development of patches and updates, and simply more Albion Online as we continue to grow the game over the coming years.
With this ending to 2020, we’re looking forward to a bright future for Albion Online in 2021 and beyond.

Please let us know what questions you have about this in the comments below!
Robin ‘Eltharyon’ Henkys, CEO & The Sandbox Interactive Founder Team

Started playing this like a week ago. Already have t4 gear unlocked and am trying to do daily dungeon and daily arenas as a minimum to build up on silver and more importantly tomes. I usually have to do 3, 4 arenas for each win and this is just not going to cut it. I'm hoping there's an arena chat or something where i can find people to play with. Gotta get those tomes.

Once you get in our alliance you can fame up (grind) MUCH faster than tomes from arenas.

You can do the mid tier corrupted dungeons (stalker) in cheap 4.1 gear and you’ll get way more fame doing that for 30 minutes than you will for a few days worth of arena but still get some PvP action. They can be really good money too once you start winning fights, and you might lose a bunch at the start while you figure out the meta, once it clicks they get way easier. For a dungeon that takes 10 minutes, I probably make somewhere between 300k and 600k each dungeon, sometimes up to 1m depending on loot dice rolls and the value of whatever gear drops from the dude you kill.

https://youtu.be/BGKmuQyXvU0 is a pretty decent video showing a few cheap builds with explanations of how to play them

I find most of the fame farming in this game pretty awful, but corrupted dungeons absolutely own and are by far my favorite way to do something resembling productive fame farming while still getting to PvP.

I've been reading up on this game all afternoon, and it does sound enticing; how's the Euro scene for the guild, and is there room for a guy who's really into supporty/tanky/crafty roles?

Crafty as in crafting, not being smart. Cause that I am not.

Can someone post one of the newbie friendly zvz healer builds? I saw in the Arch discord you're only allowed to zvz with one of the 'approved' builds, accurate? So may as well start leveling it up. Also is it possible to clear solo content with healing (staffs I think is the only healer option?) weps?

You can solo at or about a tier above your gear in healer gear. Holy staff has an E ability that does decent damage and if you kite and are smart with heals you’ll be fine.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU




Healing and Locus are the builds that are generally recommended for lower spec players. It’s always good to have more healers, and locus is powerful even at lower IP because the weapons unique E only scales cool down reduction as spec increases. Personally I find locus way more fun to play than heals, and will take less overall investment to be impactful/useful.

The biggest penalty you will face when you have lower skills is that your hp pool will be tiny and you will be aggressively punished for getting caught out of position. Your chest armor is the biggest factor here, so that’s probably the most important piece to prioritize getting some spec in. Weapons are also important since they will scale up damage and unlock different abilities.

It is recommended that you stick to the “approved builds,” and they tend to be good builds tailored for survivability/utility, which is what is important in large scale black zone ZVZ. With that said, the only real punishment for not doing so is getting snark on discord.

In terms of running solo content as a healer, you can, but not very well. If you must, the nature staffs are probably best due to the thorns ability. You would be better off focusing first on getting a PVE build to 100 mastery, which will farm fame credits efficiently, and then using this to allocate free XP into weapons and armor that isn’t as good for PVE content. Great axe is the popular suggestion here, but honestly you can use a bunch of different weapons and armor combos and do just fine.
