For Good, or for Evil?

Your actions as a Hero, good or evil, or somewhere in the middle, 

determine your alignment, and in turn, your physical appearance. 

Generally speaking, when you kill Guards, Traders, or villagers, 

you might begin to grow horns, or even attract insects. If you 

choose to save Traders and villagers from the evil beasts that 

roam the woods, you may have lighter-colored eyes and a 

butterfl y-friendly demeanour. Good or Evil alignment also 

affects the way the people of Albion respond to you.

Gaining Experience

As you go about a Quest, you will gain General Experience, as 

well as specifi c Experience in Strength, Skill, and Will, depending 

on the means used to succeed. The approach used to defeat 

enemies has a direct bearing on this. 

Using melee weapons gains you Experience in Strength. Using the 

bow gains you Experience in Skill, and using magical weapons 

gives you Experience in the Will. Whichever ability you use to 

defeat enemies, when vanquished they leave glowing Experience 

Orbs. Walk through them or use your powers of the Will 

r

 to 

draw them to you, and thereby gain General Experience. 

When you gain Experience, notifi cations show you how much and 

what kind of Experience you have gained. Now you can use this 

Experience to enhance your abilities at the Experience Spending 

Platform at the Guild. 

he Way of a Hero

Only after graduating from the Guild may you

call yourself a Hero, but this is just the fi rst step. 

Becoming a Hero of greatness requires you to 

increase both your Renown and your Experience. 

To this end, young Heroes must accept increasingly 

challenging quests that the citizenry of Albion drop 

off at the Guild. These are tasks deemed impossible 

for ordinary citizens, and many are thought not 

possible even for the mightiest of Heroes. Use the 

Quest Card’s description to decide whether or not 

a particular Quest suits you according to your 

Experience and abilities. As we’ve stated before, it 

takes time to become a great Hero, and the path to 

greatness is yours for the choosing.

Accepting Quests

To help you decide between the various Quest Cards 

available to you, it is important to keep in mind that 

gold Quest Cards are those you must complete before 

progressing; silver Quest Cards are optional. To accept 

a Quest, press 

A

 to interact with the map in the 

Guild Map Room. 

As stated, the Guild makes no morality judgments 

with respect to good or evil Quests, and you are free 

to pursue your own path. You can kill and steal, or be 

noble and help the villagers, defeating villains and 

monsters as needed.
