Arlor's history is being written, and your chosen side makes all the difference.

A brewing rivalry calls you to action, Legends!
A recently discovered cave brimming with Radiant Arcanite is now the battleground between Peylon Rusk and the Temple of Scrolls.

Rusk asserts that Arlorian Heroes have lawfully claimed the Elder Woods territories in their name.
The Temple of Scrolls claims that Scholar Gevyn was the first to tell Arlorian Heroes about the Elder Woods,
and this grants them exclusive rights to all discoveries and treasures.

King Vyromir of Arlor has issued an official "Writ of Conflict," demanding each side prove a true, Legendary heir to the New World.
Which side will you choose?


Getting Started

npc_johan.png


Visit Johan in Windmoore to learn more about the event and the tense conflict between the two factions.
Then, head over to the Leaderboard next to the Tavern to meet the emissaries from both sides: Tyves Rusk and Savante Bosch.

npc_emissaries.jpg


Once you've carefully considered both sides, speak to Johan,
and then return to the emissary for your chosen side to swear your allegiance.
Only once you've sworn allegiance will you be able to enter the portal at the center of town.


How to Play

portal.png


Once you've selected a team, you may enter the Besieged Cave dungeon.
Fight through monsters and the fierce dragon boss Gilmmerath to earn points for your faction.
Players of either faction may enter and play the dungeon together, each winning points for their chosen side.
Back in Windmoore, the torches behind Tyves and Savante will burn with flames of the color of the current leading faction.

After earning a minimum of ten (10) points for your sworn faction, you may choose to switch sides.
Purchase a special item from Johan to buy the opposing leader's favor, but BEWARE!
Not only does this move cost you a LOT of gold (*cost varies based on your level),
but you will lose all points and progress for your current faction and will start from 0.
It is not a decision to be taken lightly.

Purchase a Faction Wars Farmer's Elixir Kit from your faction leader. Grants 2x Boss Loot, +25% Damage, +15% Gold Loot, and +20% Speed in event zones. Lasts 10 minutes. Counts down in event zones only.

Elite versions of the dungeon are now available for those seeking an even greater challenge! Earn additional Points and Tokens for conquering these more difficult encounters.


Leaderboards and Rewards

Leaderboard rewards will be sent to the Top 25 individual players in each faction!
The winning faction is the faction with the most points.
A faction's overall score is the sum of individual player scores.
