Codex Client
A small desktop app that reads your Albion Destiny Board and fills it in on Albion Codex automatically - no typing spec levels by hand. It also contributes the market prices you browse in-game so everyone gets better price data. It only reads your board and the markets you open; nothing else leaves your PC.
alpha-0.1.15 · Windows 10/11 (~20 MB, requires Npcap - step 1 below) · Linux x86-64 (~4 MB, CLI alpha - see the Linux section below)
Alpha software. This is an early test build. It may be incomplete, miss data, or break - please verify anything important against the game, and tell us what goes wrong.
Set it up on Windows (about 5 minutes)
This lets the app read game traffic. Download Npcap, run the installer, and keep the default options.
Make a free account at albioncodex.com with Discord or Google.
Put codex-client.exe in its own folder and double-click it. Windows may warn it is an unrecognised app - choose More info → Run anyway (it is unsigned; that warning is expected).
Click Link this PC, copy the code, paste it on the page that opens, and confirm. The window flips to “Linked”.
With the app running, log into Albion and travel to another zone/map. That is what makes the game send your board - just opening the board screen will not. Your Destiny Board then appears on the site.
Set it up on Linux (CLI alpha)
The Linux build is a command-line alpha: same capture and upload pipeline as Windows, but no tray window, no autostart, and no auto-update (grab new builds from this page). The control panel and pairing page open in your normal browser. Works with Albion under Proton/Steam. No Npcap needed - Linux uses libpcap, which your distro already ships.
- Extract the download:
tar xzf codex-client-linux.tar.gz - Allow packet capture (one-time per downloaded build; reading game traffic needs a network capability normal programs lack):
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip ./codex-client-linux
Avoid running it with sudo instead - that works, but your pairing token lands in root's home and you will be asked to re-link later. - Run
./codex-client-linux, then link your PC and play exactly like on Windows - the pairing page opens in the browser, and your board uploads on login or a zone change. Your token and log live in~/.config/CodexClient/.
Where it lives (Windows)
- It runs in your system tray. On Windows 11 the icon starts hidden - click the “^” (show hidden icons) arrow next to the clock to find “Codex Client”, then drag it onto the taskbar to keep it visible.
- Closing the window does not quit it - the client keeps running and capturing in the background. To fully exit, right-click the tray icon and choose Quit.
- It starts automatically when you log in to Windows, and keeps itself up to date.
Add the Codex bot to your Discord
Look up prices and work out crafting materials without leaving Discord. Three commands, free, no setup for your members.
- /price - what an item sells for in every royal city, with how old every number is
- /craft - how many materials to actually buy for a batch, accounting for what comes back
- /codex - what the numbers mean
You will need Manage Server on the server you are adding it to. The bot asks for no permissions - the commands only reply.
