Guide to All Archetypes in Albion Online

Albion Online stands out with its unique approach to skills and "classes." You'll have great freedom in your choices, as it's your in-game actions with various tools and weapons that will allow you to gain experience and unlock corresponding skills.

There are three main trees in the game: the plate tree, the leather tree, and the cloth tree. Each of these trees has subclasses that grant access to weapons, thus determining your "class" in the game. However, it's worth noting that skill trees may have drawbacks: for example, plate armor offers high physical protection but few bonuses, while cloth armor offers little protection but many bonuses.
