ALBAN HYPE. WHO'S WITH ME?
Okay, but in all seriousness, I'm writing this so that people have some ideas before entering. Now, if you could report any bugs here as well, that'd be splendid. The purpose of this post is to write what Nexon hasn't told us yet.
Let's start with a list of training stones, since the event is giving us only a fraction of what's available.

It seems that the training stones can be traded.

You guys already have info about emblems and what not, so I'll skip over that.

Now, let's talk about Hidden Floors, since it contains one of the most attractive feature of Alban Training Center. With the training stone for Aton Cimeni's anvil, after clearing four floors, you will be able to find rooms with specific marks. In each of these rooms, Aton Cimeni's anvil can appear. More of these rooms you can find, more of these anvils you'll find. The difficulty/number of members doesn't seem to have an effect. The anvils have 50% more success rate than the regular ones.
As for the Gem Paradise, it's exactly as how it sounds. 10 cm gem and golds will be dropped at your feet upon completion of the level. Diamonds are from 8cm to 10 cm.
Next, let's talk about skill training in here. First off, you need to be in the talent of the skill you want to train, and you want the training stone to be placed in the green slot. This applies for Hero talents as well. The training bonuses are multiplicative, which means it can be stacked with reforges and training accessories. For example, reforge exp 10 gear with the skill training bonus would result in (1.00 [base] + 1.00 [reforge bonus]) x (1.50 [Alban]) = 3.00. You have to bring your own tools since they will not be provided. There are also features that cannot be accessed, either because it's disabled, or players cannot reach that part of the map: Well, Cooking Oven, Upgrade Anvil, Carpentry Workbench, Dry Oven
Known Issues (keep in mind these were KR reported issues):
-The monster HP training stone doesn't seem to work as intended. The description will say monster HP will be 70% of that of the original, and the reward tier will even go down. However, it seems that it actually adds 70% on top of the orignal HP. (Not sure if this is fixed or not yet in KR servers.)
-There is a possibility of meeting other party's members.
-Sometime after running Alban Training Center, your map can become "flooded". This doesn't happen to missions/contents you run right after running Alban Training Center, but has been reported in homestead, G19 raids, and various places.
-Rarely, there can be a bug where one room will be "cleared" (or rather, the mark doesn't show up on the door), while the mark is still on the statue, making it impossible for you to clear the floor. More info here.
-There have been reports of untargetable orbs and exits (this one has been confirmed in NA, particularly in treasure chest rooms).
-Some party members reported that they were not transported to Boss after completing the 4th floor.
-When you're soloing the content, there is a chance to meet people of other parties. When this happens, even if they exit, it won't be counted as "solo", and therefore, you won't be able to get the titles. According to the same sources, if you report the bug to the staff, they will reward you the title.
-It's possible nothing appears in the Boss room, making it impossible to complete the training session.
-If you enter a room right as it's cleared, then you won't be able to move onto next floor, and your character will be stuck. You will still get rewards for floors and for "clearing", but you won't be able to open the chests.
-It's possible that mobs can simply disappear, and you will not be able to clear the level.
-Sometimes, the boss will not act as it should on its hair color. For example, when the hair color is green, it may use melee attacks and act like a gray one would. Solution or the cause is not known yet, but it is known that this situation can be unbugged.
