Albion's ninth Guild Season starts on [b]Saturday, May 16[/b]. As with past seasons, guilds that reach a high enough rank can claim fantastic rewards including an [b]avatar[/b], [b]avatar ring[/b], [b]Fame Boost[/b], [b]furniture items[/b], and an incredible new [b]mount[/b]: the fearsome [b]Ancient Ent[/b]! [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/722fed68c659fb360561d69a21c48fd8836d7bfe.jpeg[/img] The Ancient Ent will be a [b]heal and support mount[/b] with area-based healing spells for allies and attacks that make use of the raw forces of nature. This mount will be awarded to guilds who reach [b]Silver Rank or higher[/b] during Season 9, with increasingly higher stats (and increasingly epic appearances) with each successive tier. The winning guild will receive a statue among the past Guild Season winners in [b]Conquerors' Hall[/b], which since the Queen update can be accessed via [b]all major cities[/b]. Qualifying guilds will also receive a [b]Fame Bonus[/b] and [b]furniture items[/b], as listed in the tables below: [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/63d05ff67747dba45d1e6f65e59c80e4e43313e7.png[/img] [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/94018529bd07149fcb9a6c596cba03d9bd234d78.png[/img] [h3]Season 9 Schedule and Changes[/h3] This new season brings major changes and updates to guild warfare in Albion, including [b]Territory Point/Energy Storage[/b], [b]Season Points from Elite Enemies[/b], and optimizations to the [b]Crystal League[/b].
