Albion Online features a unique classless system in which your stats and abilities are entirely determined by the gear you have equipped. You can freely combine your equipment items to match any situation, going from a cloth-wearing archer to a healer in plate armor to a mage wearing a mixture of all armor types. Experiment with different builds and specializations, and customize your equipment to your preferred playstyle.
[b]Forge Your Own Destiny[/b]
Progress in Albion Online is tracked via the Destiny Board, an in-depth visual tool that shows the game's numerous skill paths and their corresponding milestones. As you progress outward through the various paths on the Destiny Board, you'll unlock nodes, each of which grants you access to new skills and specializations along with more powerful tools and equipment. Become a generalist with a vast array of decent skills, or focus on one particular niche to become a legendary specialist. You have the freedom to become whoever you want - as long as you're willing to invest the time and practice.
[b]Classless Character Creation[/b]
When you create your character, you will not have to choose any specific playstyle, class, or role. Your character's stats and abilities are entirely defined by the armor and weapons you choose to equip. Each weapon and piece of armor will open up different playstyles in Albion Online, and each new milestone you reach on the Destiny Board will unlock new gear in turn.
Where weapons dictate how you can attack and what type of offensive abilities you have, armor will give different defensive resistances and toughness while also bestowing both passive and active defensive abilities.
[b]Define Your Own Role[/b]
When you create your character’s ideal loadout, every single piece of gear matters. Try experimenting with different weapon and armor builds to create your own unique character suited to your playstyle - with hundreds of unique spells, pieces of gear, and weapons, the choice is yours.
