Royal Guild Territories
Guild warfare has arrived in the Royal Isles!
Guilds who are not quite ready for the treacherous Outlands can now fight for Watchtower Territories in both yellow and red zones.
Watchtower Territories’ mechanics are being slightly adjusted in both the Royal Continents and Outlands. Only members of the occupying guild will be able to gather resources in the territory, and they will receive additional yield bonus for doing so.

Crank up the volume! The official Albion Online soundtrack has been added to the game. Feast your ears on 19 unique tracks, ranging from triumph horns in the city to ominous percussion in the Hell Gates.
On top of that, ambient sounds have been added to the game as well, making the world feel more alive than ever before!

Winter Season in Albion!
‘Tis the the season to be jolly! The cities of Albion have dusted off their holiday decoration and the vanity merchants have stocked up on Fireworks and Snowballs.
If you are in extraordinarily high spirits, pay Uncle Frost a visit in the Keeper dungeons! Upon defeat, he will drop a Decorative Bridle. Take this item to your local Saddler to craft your very own Yule Stag, a holiday-themed Tier 4 mount.

Persistent Mounts
When (voluntarily) dismounting, your mount remains in the world and continues to provide you with its load bonus, and allows you to quickly re-mount it. If you get knocked off your mount by an opponent, or you're attacked while unmounted, your mount will make a swift exit!
On top of this, mount health is now depleted first while you're mounted, so when mount health reaches zero you will dismount at full health.
Read more about the mount changes here.

Essences
Starting from Tier 4, all mobs will now drop Essences. These are needed to refine all resources.
Additionally, Artifact Fragments have been converted into magical materials matching their level: Runes (Gateway), Souls (Hellgate) and Relics (Raid). They can still be used to meld Artifacts.
Essences can be transmuted into Runes, Runes into Souls, and Souls into Relics.

Transmutation Changes
Transmutator building are being retired. Instead, transmutation can now be done at refining buildings.
Transmutating to highter Tiers no longer requires silver, but instead multiple copies of the resource you’re attempting to transmute from.
As existing Transmatutors have become non-functional, they can be demolished to recover their resources (see Building Renovation below).

Guard Towers
The Guard NPCs will now be backed up by Guard Towers. These strongholds are placed between PvP and safe zones to protect the gates from Outlaws.
A new debuff has been added: Outlaw. Attacking or supporting an attack on a non-Outlaw player will grant you this debuff (even with a positive reputation). As an Outlaw, you cannot log out or enter cities as long as the debuff is active. Additionally, Guard Towers will attack you if you are near them.

Building Decay and Renovation
Buildings now have a daily decay, making them take damage over time. Take care of your building, as it is not useable under 10% durability. The higher the tier of a building, the more damage it takes.
Can’t take care of your structure anymore? Either downgrade or demolish it completely. You can pick up leftover resources as soon as the builder has taken care of your building.
It is possible to upgrade, downgrade, repair and demolish your building from a single interface. The UI tells you the before-and-after effects, so you know what you are doing!
