Weapons and Armour

As far as obtaining weapons and armour, a small selection 

is available at the Guild Shop, but it is best to look for the 

appropriate Trader’s booth or shop in one of the towns or 

villages. Be aware that heavier weapons require the Strength 

to wield them or they will do you no good. To sell weapons 

or armour from your inventory, choose to sell an item while 

negotiating with the Trader.

Armour also may be purchased in town from the Armoury. 

Additional armour is never a bad idea and may save your 

neck, literally. It is not easily affordable, so make sure you have 

accumulated enough gold before you try buying armour. 

Potions and Medicines

A Hero’s use of potions and medicines is not trivial and should 

be considered carefully. Regional apothecaries have built entire 

trades out of these potions, but some have proven more useful 

for reinvigorating one’s health, while others are primarily for 

replenishing Mana. This is by no means an exact art, and the 

strengths of potions vary signifi cantly. As a general rule, the 

blood-red potions indicate aid to physical health, and the blue-

azurite blends are for Mana replenishment. There may even be 

newer, recently developed blends available, but we do not have 

exact details on those yet. An accomplished Hero has learned the 

value of keeping these potions on hand.

Inventory

The currency in Albion is gold, and as we hope you 

learned in your Guild training, you must have gold 

to be able to buy anything at all, except peace and 

tranquillity—that’s found out on Fisher Creek. 

There are many different ways to acquire gold, the 

main method being that of completing Quests, but you 

can also trade goods or even buy and sell houses and 

shops for a profi t. Most of the objects in Albion can be 

bought and sold, though some, of course, are found in 

the course of your travels. 

When you have acquired enough gold, you can 

purchase important items, such as food, potions, 

medicines, and, of course, weapons and armour, for 

your Inventory. You can purchase most of these items 

in towns such as Bowerstone. Many items are also 

available from wandering Traders throughout Albion. 

The fair city of Bowerstone, as with other towns, 

offers a number of trading booths along its many 

walkways and paths. If there’s an item you are 

interested in, speak to the proprietor 

A

  and then sort 

through what he has on offer. You can sell items from 

your inventory, such as in a case where you need gold 

in a hurry. Be cautious about getting the right price 

unless you do not care to make a profi t.
