Albion's [b]sixteenth Guild Season[/b] kicks off [b]June 11[/b], with big changes to Castles and Castle Outposts, a new Crystal League mode, Might Level adjustments, and more.
[h3]Castles Re-Envisioned[/h3]
Season 16 updates [b]Castles[/b] and [b]Castle Outposts[/b], with [b]improved layouts[/b] to encourage fighting on multiple fronts, and [b]reworked visuals[/b] to make them more varied and visually appealing. Instead of generating passive points, Castle and Outpost chests now grant [b]Might [/b]to those who claim them, and appear dynamically on a new timer. And a dedicated [b]Might Level[/b] in the Conqueror’s Challenge still allows big Season Point payouts.
[h3]Crystal Arena and Non-Lethal Crystal League[/h3]
Season 16 brings two new 5v5 modes for players of all levels. The new [b]Crystal Arena[/b] offers a ranked version of the classic Arena, with matches played in the Crystal League map with knockdown mechanics. And the new [b]Non-Lethal Crystal League[/b] provides access to the full 9-level experience, but without the full-loot kills of the regular League. Both modes have unique rewards as well, including Gladiator Wardrobe Skins. And of course, the classic 5v5 and 20v20 full-loot modes are still available for players looking for hardcore endgame content.

[h3]Might Level Balancing[/h3]
To keep seasons balanced, progress has been boosted in several [b]Might Levels[/b] where guild progress was somewhat behind the curve. Corrupted Dungeons, Crystal Spiders, and Outland Treasures now offer [b]faster level progress[/b], giving guilds more overall Season Points and more ways to stay competitive.

[h3]Unlock the Behemoth[/h3]
Players who gain enough Might will receive unique [b]Avatar Sets[/b], as well as the coveted [b]Behemoth[/b] and valuable [b]Fame Buffs[/b]. Might is earned through a huge range of activities in the [b]Conqueror's Challenge[/b], and there are additional [b]bracket rewards[/b] for guilds who reach at least Iron Rank. And as always, the season's number-one guild will become a permanent part of the world of Albion with their very own statue in [b]Conquerors' Hall[/b].
