Castle Siege

Locations

There are three potential Castle Siege locations, with the towns of Andaria, Cambria, and Prevalia each containing a castle that may be selected for the event.

Participation

To participate in a Castle Siege, players must have "Participate in PvP Events" toggled on in their Guild Menu's Overview Page. Players can then become a participant by:

Entering the Castle Interior.
Attacking the Castle Gate.
Performing construction on a Siege Cannon.
Double-clicking a Siege Flag within 24 tiles.

Only players in a guild with PvP participation enabled can join the event.

Zones and Flagging

The Castle Siege area consists of two main regions:

The Castle Interior

The Castle Interior is considered a Grey Zone, meaning all players can attack each other freely regardless of guild affiliation. While inside:

Participants flag Green to members of their own guild or alliance (if they are also participants).
Participants flag Orange to all other guilds’ participants.
All other players are Grey to each other.

Surrounding Town Region

Flagging mechanics within the Town Region operate normally until a player participates in the Castle Siege, at which point they become attackable by all other Siege participants.

Murderers may participate and enter the siege area.
Murderers will flag as blue to others (unless criminal) until they attack the gate or enter the courtyard.
After a Castle Siege ends, Murderers have a 15-minute grace period to leave before being subject to town guard rules.
Non-participants flag as Blue to participants and cannot interfere with them.

Castle Mechanics

Castle Access

If a castle's Gate is intact, non-defending players cannot enter, Recall, Gate, or Hike inside.
The defending guild (winner of the last Castle Siege at that location) can enter freely at any time.
Defenders can use the castle gate to teleport in and out.

Castle Gate

The Castle Gate has 10,000 HP and can only be damaged by melee attacks or Siege Cannons.
Melee attacks against the gate deal 25-50 damage per hit.
When the gate is destroyed, all players gain access to the Castle Interior.

Siege Cannons

A Siege Cannon appears outside the Castle Gate when the event starts.
Players must construct the cannon using Siege Tools (crafted via Tinkering).
Each construction action consumes 1 charge and adds 50-100 HP to the cannon.
The cannon becomes Operational at 10,000 HP and can be fired every 10 seconds, dealing 1,000-2,000 damage to the Castle Gate.
When the Castle Gate is destroyed, the Siege Cannon becomes inoperable.

Siege Mortars

Three Siege Mortars appear inside the Castle Interior for defenders.
Mortars must be constructed using Siege Tools (requires 1,000 HP to complete).
Once operational, defenders can fire them every 10 seconds at targets up to 20 tiles away, dealing 20-40 damage per hit.
Mortar fire does not require line-of-sight and can scatter up to 2 tiles from the target.

Sigil Statue

A Sigil Statue appears at a randomized location inside the castle.
Guilds earn Control Points by keeping members within 10 tiles of the statue during Control Checks.

Scoring

Guild Scoring

Every 30 seconds, a Control Check occurs at the Sigil Statue.
The defending guild earns 10 Control Points per check.
Other guilds earn 30 Control Points per check.
Guilds also earn 2% of all damage dealt to the Castle Gate as Control Points.

Player Scoring

Individual players earn Control Points by occupying the Sigil Statue or damaging the Castle Gate.
Players receive Control Points equal to the guild’s earned points divided among members present.
Individual scores do not determine event winners but contribute to personal rewards.

Player Kills and Point Stealing

Killing an enemy participant steals 5% of their guild’s total points.
If a guild has 0 points, no points can be stolen.
The player dealing the most damage to a target receives credit for the kill.
Individual players earn Kill Points based on their % damage dealt to the killed target.

Rewards

At the end of the event, the Top 3 Guilds receive rewards. Additionally, the Top 10 players from each winning guild receive individual rewards based on Player Total Score (Control Points + Kill Points).

1st Place Guild

Earns 2 Prestige Points.
Top 10 players receive 3 Guild Reward Points.
Top 10 players receive 1% of all gold spent at NPC Vendors in the last 24 hours (deposited in bank).
A Reward Chest (equivalent to a Level 4 Treasure Map Chest) spawns inside the castle for the winning guild.

2nd Place Guild

Top 10 players receive 2 Guild Reward Points.

3rd Place Guild

The Castle Gate is fully restored.
The winning guild is now the Castle Defender for the next event at this location.
