Territory Wars are battles focused around clan and individual players, only characters level 40 and above who have completed their 2nd class transfer can participate in a territory war.
Castle ownership has been expanded into territory ownership.
Where previously a castle was the highest form of ownership available, this facet of game play has been expanded to include the castle, the local town/village and the nearby hunting grounds.
This new territory system will foster a complimentary relationship between clans and general users, boost economic profits, and increase the influence that both clans and casual users have in the development of the land.
Territory Areas
The areas are the same as the the current Castles: Gludio, Dion, Giran, Oren, Aden, Innadril, Goddard, Rune and Schuttgart.
Territory Announcement
After a Castle Siege the clan who has taken the Castle of that area will be automatically declared as having occupied that Territory. After the Territorial Announcement a Territory Manager and a Mercenary General NPC will appear in the Castle Town.
From the Territory Manager players can obtain the quest rewards and use the Badges obtained to purchase Local Products like Belts.
From the Mercenerary Captain Normal, no clan-affiliated players can purchase Mercenary Transformation Scrolls and participate in Territorial Wars as anonymous fighters. After the player has completed a special mercenary quest, he or she can transform into a higher level mercenary. Players are also able to buy consumables particularly used in Territorial Wars from this NPC.
Territory Ownership
After the Territorial Announcement the clan in possession of the Castle can start the quest Righteous Path of the Territorial Lord.
The conditions to declare ownership and changes:
Terms for declaring Territory Ownership
Fortresses within a Territory (except the ones at the borders) all need to swear fealty to the Castle. The Castle-owning clan must have completed the quest Righteous Path of the Territorial Lord. They must declare Territory Ownership two hours before the next Territorial War.
Changes after declaring Territory Ownership
Becoming the owner of a Territory is a necessary condition for a clan to be able to upgrade to level 11. After assumption of ownership, NPCs within the Territory will have the clan crest. The maximum amount of seeds that can be sold and crop that can be purchased by the Manor will be increased by 10%.
Circumstances when a Territory Ownership is cancelled
When the clan that declared Territory Ownership is dissolved or when they lose their Castle after a Castle Siege. When a Territory Ownership is canceled, any changes made after declaring Territorial Ownership are reset.
Territorial War
Battle Period
Territorial Wars are fought in the same week as Castle Sieges, i.e. every other week. Territorial Wars will be fought on Saturday at 19pm Gmt Time.
Start of a Territorial War
The start of a Territorial War is not affected by whether or not a Territorial Lord has declared Territory Ownership. Once the time has come, the Territorial War will automatically start.
Registration for Participation
Participation in a Territorial War can be applied for at the Mercenary Captain inside each Castle Town. Players can participate in a Territorial War as individuals or as a clan.
Clan Participation: Clan members with high administrative rights can register the entire clan via the Clan Window.
Individual Participation: Everybody can register directly via the NPC.
Registration in both ways (To register or cancel a previous registration) will be close two hours before the Territorial War begins, the Territory-owning clan will be registered automatically.
Territorial War Begins
After a Territorial War starts, all Fortresses and the Castle in the Territory will become battlegrounds. Players who have not registered will be teleported outside the battlegrounds when the Territorial War starts.
The Territory-owning clan can set up Defense Positions or Outposts within the Territory, while other participating clans can only set up regular Defense Positions.
The gates of the Castle and of the Fortresses in the Territory will be closed and become attackable.
Players can start to use the Battlefield Channel (Appear in Yellow) ten minutes before the Territorial War begins (use ^ to start the conversation).
All your Territory allies can see the text. The Battlefield Channel will be closed automatically ten minutes after the Territorial War has ended.
When battle begins, a Territorial Relic and supplies will appear in the Castles, while Catapults will appear in the Fortresses.
If more than one Fortress in a Territory has sworn fealty to the Castle, there will not only be the regular NPC guards, but also additional NPC mercenaries.
Battle Rules
Like in the rules for other battles, i.e. Castle or Fortress Sieges, there will be allied forces, enemy forces, and neutral players:
All clans and individuals registed on the same Territory will be allied forces.
All players from other Territories will be enemy forces.
Players not participating in the War will be neutrals.
Players will have tags over their heads, indicating their sides.
Players cannot force-attack their allied forces, but they can attack enemy forces and neutrals directly; a player PK count will not increase on the battleground. Enemy forces who have left the battleground but are still in clan wars will not have their PK count increased either.
Neutral players will have purple names for 120 seconds when they leave the battleground.
Registered players will not lose items or gain death penalties if they die on the battleground, while neutral players will have normal death penalties if they get killed on a battleground.
Registered players will have the following revival spots: Clan Hall, the closest town, Defense Positions of the clan, their Outpost. (Currently Siege Headquarters (Flagpoles) only work if set in Castle Areas and not in Fortress Areas)
Outposts
A Castle-owning clan leader can set up an Outpost (120 B Gemstones and MP will be consumed).
There can only one be one Outpost, but it can be removed and rebuilt at another location if needed.
Outposts cannot be destroyed.
The HP and MP regeneration rate of allied forces will increase by 100%, i.e. be doubled around the Outpost.
Allied forces can choose to revive at the Outpost when die on the battleground.
Outposts will disappear automatically after the Territorial War has ended.
Conditions for Victory
Territorial Relic
At the beginning of a Territorial War, a Territorial Relic will appear inside each Castle or inside the Castles that owns the Relics from previous Territory Wars.
After entering the enemy Castle and destroying the Holy Artifact, the Relic can be taken in possession. Then the attacking force needs to carry the Relic to its Outpost in order to gain complete control of it. At that moment the enemy Territorial Relic will respawn inside the attacking force Castle.
The player who is carrying the enemy force Relic will appear on the minimap. If the character dies or the player gets disconnected while carrying the Territorial Relic, it will be dropped on the ground at that place. That means, if people want to recover their Relic they must kill the carrier.
Basically the struggle for the Territorial Relic is like capturing a Combat Flag in a Fortress Siege.
The starting point is the Castle, the end point is the Outpost.
If the Relic is not brought to the Outpost, it does not count as taken and returns after the end of the War to the starting point.
If the capture of the Relic is to be successful, it must be carried all the way from inside the enemy Castle to one own Outpost.
If at the end of the War the Relic was taken but the time was not sufficient to bring it to one Outpost, it returns to the enemy (because the enemy Castle was the starting point).
Territorial Catapults
Territorial Catapults will appear in the Fortresses when a Territorial War begins.
Those Territorial Catapults can be destroyed by enemy forces.
Once a catapult is destroyed, all remaining NPC defenses will dissapear, and all fortress defensives will be deactivated
Mercenaries
Requirements
Except for members of the alliance of the Castle-owning clan, all other registered clans and individuals can participate in a Territorial War anonymously through the mercenary system.
Character Name Change
Players can purchase a Disguise Transformation Scroll from the Mercenary Captain. They can start to use the Transformation 10 minutes before the Territorial War begins, and they can revert to their original name only 10 minutes after the Territorial War has ended.
Normal chat and system messages will display the false name. But when trading or in party invites the system will show your real name.
Characters will remain in their anonymous status even if they have died or re-logged-in.
When using the Disguise Transformation, players cannot use General Manufacture, Dwarven Manufacture or Private Stores.
Mercenary Transformation
Before a Territorial War begins, players of level 40 and above can buy a Guard Soldier Transformation Scroll from the Mercenary Captain and take part in the War in a transformed state.
Players can neither gain xp and sp individually or do so via party during transformation, but they still can gain Personal Reputation Points.
After having finished the quest Path of the Mercenary one can buy a High Ranking Mercenary Transformation Scroll that allows one to transform into a really well equipped mercenary. This Mercenary Transformation lasts for 30 minutes; if one gets killed, the Transformation is not dispelled.
Limitations
Players with a red name, including those in possession of a Cursed Weapon (Zariche or Akamanah), and participants in the Olympiad, can neither use a Disguise Transformation or transform into a Mercenary.
Rewards
Territorial Bonus
At the start every Territory has different Territorial Bonus.
When a Territorial War has ended, all members of the clan in control of the Territory (except Academy Members) will obtain different Territorial Bonus, depending on the Territorial Relics they have in their possession.
Territorial Bonus will be influenced by the origin and number of Territorial Relics that every Territory owns at a given moment, for example there is one Territorial Relic in Y Castle, then clan members will receive one bonus; if there are N Territorial Relics, i.e. the Aden clan has conquered N Territories, then the clan members will receive N bonus.
Territory Bonus Effects
| Gludio | STR +1 / INT +1 | Dion | DEX +1 / WIT +1 | Giran | STR +1 / MEN +1 | Oren | CON +1 / MEN +1 | Aden | DEX +1 / WIT +1 | Innadril | CON +1 / INT +1 | Goddard | DEX +1 / INT +1 | Rune | STR +1 / WIT +1 | Schuttgart | CON +1 / WIT +1 | |
When the Lord of a Territory changes, this does not influence the Holy Relics kept in the Castle, and it does also not influence the Territorial Skills.
The place where every Territorial Relic is kept can be checked via the minimap on the Territory War Info Tab.
Territory Badges
During a Territorial War a quest can be picked up from the Territory Manager.
After completing this quest the player receives a Territory Badge which is different for each Territory.
The Territorial War quests added with the new update are Special Quests and they give XP and SP as reward.
Local Products of a Territory
Players who are taking part in a Territorial War can buy Local Products from the Territory Manager using Territory Badges and Adena.
A player can combine a belt with a pouch or pin, or break the seal on a pouch or pin, through a Weaver. These NPC's are located near the warehouses in Aden and Rune.
There is the possibility of failure when opening a Territory Supply Box or attempting to unseal a pin or pouch.
Only players with a Knight ranking and above can wear a cloak. In order to wear a cloak, one must be part of a castle-owning clan and be equipped with a full set of Vesper Noble or Dynasty armor.
