- Reigning guilds may schedule a Tax Delivery between 2PM and 1 AM local server time.
- To check when the Tax Delivery event is scheduled, open up your Map and then check the Timetable under Daily.
- Tax Delivery is a major guild event where the reigning guild must protect a caravan of taxes acquired from their territory
- If the reigning guild successfully transport their spoils from Vienta Village to Stoneguard Castle, they’ll receive a generous bounty of Lucent and Sollant
- If an attacking player thwarts the delivery, the rewards will instead be distributed to every participant outside of the First Defenders’ Alliance.
- Each Tax Delivery begins with the reigning guild selecting a member to become the Tax Delivery Golem
- Capitalize on powerful abilities as the Titan Cargo to fend off the seemingly endless onslaught of players that will stop at nothing for a piece of the prize
- Attacking guilds must destroy the Titan Cargo Sealing Stone. Fortunately, they have the ability to contend with the might of the Titan Cargo through barriers, bomb carriers, Archeum Knights, and the fearsome debuffs of the Chaos Golem.
The first Castle Siege event will commence on November 17
- As the siege begins, guilds have 45 minutes to achieve victory. Attackers must storm the castle, breach its fortified gates, and capture the throne room.
- Defenders, transported inside the castle at the start, must hold their ground, leveraging every resource at their disposal to repel the invaders.
- If the throne is contested when the timer runs out, the siege enters a tense 3-minute overtime, where the battle's outcome hangs in the balance.
- Strategic locations like Siege Ruins play a crucial role. Capturing these ruins not only provides teleportation and resurrection points, but also allows attacking guilds to summon powerful Siege Golems.
- Each golem — whether it’s the Stone Crasher, Battle Carrier, Gate Hammer, or Jump Attacker — brings unique abilities to the battlefield, from devastating castle walls to transporting players over them.
- Attackers must navigate the castle's intricate layout, using environmental elements like the sewage system for surprise ambushes or operating gate levers to control access points.
- The Pillage Stones and Resurrection Stones scattered throughout the battlefield add another layer of strategy, offering opportunities to steal resources or reinforce their position.
- While most guilds will focus on taking power in the throne room, these 5 Pillage Stones can be captured by any attackers to snatch Sollant and Lucent from the Castle Vault, even if the reigning guild maintains control.
