Albion Online (AO) is a medievalfantasyMMORPG developed by Sandbox Interactive, a studio based in Berlin, Germany.[1] During the beta stages of development, players were able to purchase 'Founder's Packs' to gain access to the closed beta play-tests which were run intermittently by Sandbox Interactive, typically after an interval of a few months of development. These Founder packs are no longer available, since the release of the full game. Albion Online removed its free-to-play model for various reasons on December 30, 2015.[2]
Since its release on July 17, 2017,[3] Albion online now offers a selection of 'Starter Packs' which grant players access to the game and offer a varying amount of gold to get started.[4] Once a player purchases any of the starter packs, they will be granted open-ended access to the game with no extra mandatory fees. It is possible to purchase gold (in-game premium currency) to gain a further advantage. Players can also purchase membership for a limited amount of time without the benefits of the starter packs. As of April 10, 2019, Albion Online has gone Free to Play.

Whispering Bow Build – OP PVP Bow
The warbow has been considered a god-tier ranged weapon for a long time now.
It seemed as if 9 out of every 10 bow users you saw were using the warbow. That lack of diversity is bad for the game and stifles some of the creative builds we could be seeing.
Thankfully a series of nerfs to the warbow has brought a bit of diversity back to ranged classes.
The Build
This build centers around the Whispering Bow, a powerful artifact weapon. It is designed to provide ranged DPS in group PVP battles. Its damage comes from poisons and attack buffs that will turn you into a heavy hitting machine gun.
Your goal is to sit behind the front line of tanks and keep up a steady stream of buffed auto-attacks.
The build uses Royal Armor in the chest and boot slots. This is not necessary but will provide a bit more survivability over standard leather armor.
Bow – Whispering Bow
Q – Poisoned Arrow (great dot with an instant cast)
W – Explosive Arrow (adds some splash damage to your normal attacks)
E – Undead Arrows (provides a massive boost to range and damage, great when used with explosive arrow)

Helm – Mage Cowl
D – Poison (another DOT)
