This patch brings big changes and improvements to [b]competitive open-world gameplay[/b] in Albion. As Albion's next major content update will be focused on improving the overall [b]open-world experience[/b] (more about that soon!), we've decided to bring some of those changes to the game already, in anticipation of the start of [b]Guild Season 13[/b] this Saturday. [h3]New Mobs: Crystal Spider and Treasure Drone[/h3] The [b]Crystal Spider[/b] is a new rare boss that randomly spawns throughout the Outlands, intended for groups of 3-5 players. In addition to Fame, killing a Crystal Spider grants up to 30 [b]Season Points[/b]. [b]Treasure Drones[/b] are rare mobs that transport Avalonian Chests through the open world, and are defeatable by solo adventurers. They have similar rarity levels to dungeon chests, with higher-tier drones dropping increasingly valuable [b]Avalonian loot[/b]. Other mob changes include world boss spawn times being doubled to two hours, as well as [b]double Season Points[/b] for killing world bosses and [b]double Fame[/b] for all open-world faction mobs and Siphoning Mages.

[b]Resource transmutation prices[/b] have overall been increased, as has the respawn rate of all [b]T5+ resources[/b] in the open world. At the same time, transmutation prices for Runes, Souls, and Relics have been [b]significantly reduced[/b] to make high-level Artifacts cheaper to craft and more accessible.
