Overview of the most important features of the Lancelot update:
- Fishing – Players can now fish in Albion’s rivers, lakes and oceans for common fish, trickier rare fish, or even sunken treasures. Different biomes and settings offer different types of fish, as do freshwater and saltwater. The fish can be used as ingredients for meals or sold.
- Guild Improvements – The Lancelot expansion gives guild leaders a wide set of new tools for delegating roles to guild members, allowing them to define permissions and access items from multiple locations.
- Server Performance Improvements – As part of this update, numerous optimizations have been implemented that should result in significant performance improvements, especially during large-scale battles.
- GvG Season Improvements – The second GvG Season will see some big changes with the update which will provide new incentives for participation in GvG battles.
- New Artifact Armors – The Lancelot update introduces Level 3 Artifact Armors, bringing combat in Albion to a whole new level.
- Roaming Mobs – With the expansion, NPC factions now propagate further throughout the biomes: instead of only being limited to camps, they will now spawn everywhere in the world.
- Luxury Goods – These special items are dropped by mobs and consist of antiques from Albion’s past. All categories of Luxury Goods can be found throughout the world, but each category can only be sold in a certain city. Players will have to transport many of these items across dangerous lawless territory to receive their full value.
- New Hellgates – Lancelot brings new types of Hellgates for smaller PvP battles with red- and black-zone rules.
- New Expeditions and more – “In the Raven’s Claws” is a new Tier 6 Group Expedition. Additionally, the expansion adds a new Siege Ballista, plus balancing changes, bug fixes and numerous additional optimizations.
