War Mode

Description[]

War Mode is an activity available in the Eastern Luminant, pitting players from different Guilds to fight each other for domination of the Luminant, with riches available to participating players and even greater riches to those who successfully manage to impose themself on the sea.

Activation[]

War Mode can be initiated at the Warcaller Bell located near The Entropy Catalyst (on the side of the water lock). With at least 2 different guilds and at least 10 players, ringing the bell will initiate a small preparation phase before War Mode begins, then last for 20 minutes.

Ruling of War Mode[]

During War Mode, part of the game will be tweaked to accommodate for the event. The new rules are as follow:

War Mode servers are shown on the server list, colored orange with "[WAR]" next to the server name. They are pushed to the top of the server list if joining the game as a Power 20.
All active combatants in the event (all Power 20 players) are marked with their guild emblem.
- Killing marked players will rewards a chest and accrue points to the guild and Warchest
- Marked Players deal and take half damage from non Marked Players (non Power 20). The opposite is also true.
  
  Warchest Score and Timer on Warbell
Random Event spawn checks are not done for Marked Players and static events do not respawn, meaning little to no PVE entities will appear.
- Dread Serpent and Primadon can still be summoned however
Guild Banners can only be taken by Marked Players.
- When the Warchest reach 300 points, Guild Banners will start contributing to the score of their guild and the Warchest.
The Dimensional Travel and Teleportation Resonances have their effectiveness greatly reduced.
- Dimensional Travel's distance multiplier is set to 1x, meaning you do not travel any faster.
- Teleportation has a 1000 studs limit and its cooldown is doubled.
If the Warchest does not reach 300 points before the 10 minute mark, War Mode ends prematurely with no rewards granted.

Scoring and the Warchest[]

By killing marked players and keeping hold of Guild Banners, players accumulate points for their guild, working towards the Warchest.

Marked Player kills are worth 100 points while Guild Banners periodically generate 10 points each. Note that Guild Banners will only begin to generate points once the Warchest reaches 300 points.

It is worth noting that flooding the server has a downside, as you incur a point gain penalty if there are too many guild members in the server.

The Warchest is a collective point pool and encompass the total score generated during War Mode. Once War Mode ends, the guild with the highest score wins. The Warchest score will dictate the value/amount of rewards to the winning guild, which is then shared with every living members with a chest spawning for each one.

Loot Table[]

Upon killing marked players or completing War Mode, several chests will spawn, these chests have several desirable items including:

Multiple Mid-Late Game Weapons for each weapon class, along with Deep Gems, Legendary Rings and other Equipment.
Prophet's Cloak and other Outfits.
Good endgame items and relics, such as; the Warmaster's Medallion, the Curved Blade of Winds, and Lesser Relics.
