Albax, the Unlucky is a collection achievement unlocked by speaking with the Saltspray Dragon Albax in Saltspray Roost, Dragon's End after a successful meta event completion on the same map.

Note: The collection only requires 8 of the 10 given objectives to be completed, as two of them require either Heart of Thorns or Path of Fire expansion. The remaining two will be automatically marked as completed afterwards.

Bring Albax lucky items from throughout Tyria by solving his riddles."Bring to me your world, for I have lost mine." —Albax
  • "The noble bird has been swept from solitude into the hands of chaos." Albax hinted at the monks of Shing Jea.
  • "The porcelain feline beckons you toward service in the name of the savory." Albax mentioned the smell of food in New Kaineng City.
  • "Bathed in gold and hubris, luck itself will lead you to me." Albax described a special room of games in Arborstone.
  • "In the sea of green, among the scaly ones, a relic lies with the mistakes of one's past." Albax gestured at the Jade Sea all around him.
  • "Brave the dead land to claim the foot of the swiftest." Albax pointed north, toward the Cursed Shore of Orr.
  • "Find the former walker of the blasted land, and gain a symbol of new growth." Albax shrugged while talking of the Branded landscape of the Iron Marches.
  • "In homes in pale parchment hills, find the form of an old survivor in the hands of a young one." Albax smiled, thinking of the rivers of Timberline Falls.
  • "In lush lands wracked with waste, ask for that which glitters in their patron's gaze." Albax's eyes opened wide picturing the dangers of Mount Maelstrom.
  • "A sacred weapon is held in the boughs of great trees, never to be turned against them." Albax spoke of the verdant sights of the Maguuma Jungle.
...
  • "The needy hold tight to a hope of plenty in a pitiless golden land." Albax cringed while thinking of the heat in the Crystal Desert.

Two Saltspray Dragons!


Commander,
Please come to Arborstone as soon as you can. We have gone from harboring not just one but two saltspray dragons.

They said they know you and to tell you "luck favors the bold." Whatever that means.

—–Zuru Longfeather of the Kestrels

Dialogue[edit]

Speaking to him for the first time
Greetings, <Profession>. I've seen you—your people—and what you're capable of. How lucky you must be... I was lucky, once.
Talk collection option.png Was?
I've been around a long time, little one. Seen the rise and fall of empires. The corruption of my people—multiple times. No amount of luck in the world can last through all that.
Talk collection option.png But what about Kuunavang?
She's different than I. Bolder. Stronger. When I saw what happened to her, centuries ago... I thought it was over for all of us. But with the help of a group of heroes, she recovered. And I watched.
Talk collection option.png Have you spoken to her?
Not since before the affliction, centuries ago. I watched her build a bond with the mother of the sea—your "Soo-Won"—but I could never muster the courage—or energy—to show myself.
Talk collection option.png So why show up now?
To be truthful, little one, I did not plan on you finding me. When I heard the roar of the Void, I assumed the worst. But then I heard what came after: your airships. Your strength. Your kindness.
Talk collection option.png We weren't going to let the Void destroy the world.
Indeed, and Cantha is lucky you arrived. The world is lucky, too. And that's why I was watching you. You bring good fortune to all around you. Could you perhaps...do the same for me?
Talk collection option.png How so?
Journey the world once over. Search for areas to do good deeds. Bring fortune to those who do not have it. Prove to me that our meeting was one of good luck, not one that leads to even more death.
Talk collection option.png I'll do it.
Solve my riddles. Perhaps you'll need luck on your side to find them all.
Talk collection option.png Let's hear your riddles, Albax.

Speaking to him again
Solve my riddles. Perhaps you'll need luck on your side to find them all.
Talk collection option.png Let's hear your riddles, Albax.
Talk more option tango.png What's your story, Albax?
I've seen you, <Profession>—your people—and what you're capable of. How lucky you must be... I was lucky, once.
