Albion Online's Rogue Frontier Update: Smugglers, New Weapons, and More!
Sandbox Interactive's medieval fantasy MMORPG, Albion Online, is getting a major update, Rogue Frontier, on February 3rd. This first major update of the year introduces a host of exciting new features.
Outland Adventures:
The Rogue Frontier update focuses on the Smugglers, rebellious factions defying the Royal Continent's strict laws and establishing themselves in the Outlands. They operate from hidden underground hideouts known as Smuggler's Dens, which serve as central hubs for banking, repairs, and expedition planning. These dens are interconnected via the Smuggler's Network, a sophisticated marketplace system spanning the Outlands.
Players can actively participate in the ongoing conflict between the Smugglers and the Royal Guards. Missions include rescuing captured Smugglers and delivering contraband within Smuggler Crates.
Rewards for Loyalty:
Maggy Slade, a mysterious trader residing in the Smuggler's Dens, rewards player loyalty with valuable items. These include a Smuggler's Vanity Set, a Smuggler's Cape (featuring a potion cooldown reduction ability), a Smuggler's Ring, and an Avatar.
New Gameplay Mechanics:
Kill Trophies are a new addition, dropping upon defeating other players. The quality of the defeated player's loot directly impacts the chance of obtaining a Kill Trophy.
The update also introduces stylish new weapons:
- Rotcaller Staff: Summons a chilling mist that repels enemies.
- Skystrider Bow: Allows levitation and ranged attacks from above.
- Forcepulse Bracers: Unleashes shockwaves upon dashing into melee combat.
