The first Guild Season of 2024 has come to an end, and players are receiving the first Crystal Weapon artifacts from their Conqueror’s Chests! This means that across Albion those who earned these items through their season prowess can begin crafting, and fighting with, the first weapons in this new and prestigious series.
With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at these three new weapons, to see what you can bring to the battlefields of Albion.
Infinity Blade
Infinity Blade is a Crystal Weapon in the Sword line, with the devastating Limitbreaker spell.

Limitbreaker lets your character rush at whirlwind speed towards your enemies, until you unleash two lethal swipes of the weapon. The first silences and damages your victim, while the second deals an additional dose of damage for good measure.
Rift Glaive
Rift Glaive is a Spear weapon which can decimate crowds with the Razor’s Edge spell.

Casting this spell drives your character forward into your enemies, knocking them back and dealing some serious damage. This damage increases the more Spirit Spear charges your character has, giving you the potential to unleash some serious devastation.
Astral Staff
For those who embrace the arcane arts, Astral Staff is an Arcane Staff Crystal Weapon, and its unique spell is the awe-inspiring Starfall.

Starfall calls down a shower of shooting stars around you, periodically inflicting magical damage on your adversaries. This celestial storm cannot be interrupted, and also increases your character’s Resilience Penetration as it imbues you with the power of the heavens.
The Foundations update on April 15 will introduce the next three Crystal Weapons: Arctic Staff (Frost Staff), Phantom Twinblade (Quarterstaff), and Crystal Reaper (Axe). Players can begin to earn the artifacts for those in Season 23, which also sees some huge developments arriving in the form of Fortifications, Siege Banners, and Territory Activity Chests.
