What is a Conquest War?

Conquest War is large-scale PvP content between Guilds/Alliances competing for supremacy over the territories of Balenos, Serendia, Mediah, or Valencia.

This guide will provide a complete walkthrough on Conquest Wars

◈ How long is a Conquest War

Conquest Wars start every Saturday at 8:00 PM and are 2 hours maximum long.

◈ How to participate

You must have participated in a Node War during a Sunday-Friday of that week, occupied at least one node (T2-T3), and installed a Field HQ or Command Post 1 hour prior to the start of the Conquest War.

◈ Field HQs and Command Posts

You must have installed a Field HQ or Command Post to participate in a Conquest War. You can buy both buildings from the Guild Military Supply Manager, each for 1,000,000,000 Silver.

Field HQs and Command Posts have different max numbers of annexes that can be built around them. As such, a strategic decision on which building to construct may significantly affect your chances of achieving victory.

	Field HQ		Command Post		Field Conquest War
	Offensive	Defensive	Offensive	Defensive	-
Siege Defense Tower	60	60	40	40	20
Recovery Center	5	5	10	10	10
Cannon Observatory	10	10	3	3	3
Elephant Nursery	3	3	3	3	3
Flame Tower/Enhanced Flame Tower	3	3	3	3	2
Hwacha/Big Hwacha	2	3	2	3	1
Supply Depot	2	2	2	2	2
Indomitable Flag Factory	1	1	1	1	1
Wooden Fence	50	-	50	-	50
Wooden Fence Gate	2	-	1	-	1
Ballista Workshop	1	-	1	-	-
Medium Siege Tower Factory	1	-	1	-	1
Large Siege Tower Factory	1	-	1	-	1
Barricade/Iron Barricade	50	-	50	-	50

* Refer to the Annex Guide for more details about each annex building.

* Once a Field HQ or Command Post is installed, it will take 1 hour for it to be constructed. They can be dismantled at any time, except in the following cases:

(If the Conquest War has already started, there is less than 1 hour remaining until the Conquest War begins, or the building has already been fully constructed.)

◈ Conquest War Territories

Different stat limits are applied depending on which Conquest War territory you participate in: Balenos, Calpheon, Mediah, or Valencia.

Take this into consideration when installing your Field HQ or Command Post in your desired territory.

Conquest War Territories	Stats limits
Balenos (Tier 1)	AP Restriction: 560 Evasion Restriction: 768 Evasion Rate Restriction: 0% Damage Reduction Restriction: 380 Damage Reduction Rate Restriction: 20% Accuracy Restriction: 780 Accuracy Rate Restriction: 0% All Resistance Restriction: None
Serendia(Tier 2)	AP Restriction: 680 Evasion Restriction: 908 Evasion Rate Restriction: 0% Damage Reduction Restriction: 480 Damage Reduction Rate Restriction: 30% Accuracy Restriction: 920 Accuracy Rate Restriction: 0% All Resistance Restriction: None
Mediah (Unlimited)	No restriction
Valencia (Unlimited)	No restriction

* Additional benefits for each territory may vary periodically.

◈ Guild/Alliance Participation

Guild members can participate in Conquest Wars by pressing the participation button in the guild window (G).

▲ A guild or alliance can have a maximum of 100 members.

Conquest War Rules - Balenos & Serendia

In the Balenos and Serendia Conquest Wars all participating guilds (alliances) are enemies. To achieve victory, only one guild (alliance) Command Post must remain by the end of the match.

If more than 2 guild (alliance) Command Posts remain when the time ends, the territory will be liberated.

Conquest War Rules - Other territories

If a Conquest War has begun, the nature of the battle will progress differently following the point system below depending on whether there is a defending side or not.

◈ When there is a Defending Guild

If there is a defending guild, the attacking guilds will join forces to attack the Fort of the defending guild.

- Points earned by killing defensive members or destroying defensive annexes

- Points lost when killed by defensive members

* Combat between offensive guilds (K/D/Destruction) does NOT affect points while a defensive guild remains.

- The following point-based system will be applied if there is no defending guild/alliance present and there are two or more guilds/alliances remaining at the end of the Conquest War.

Point-based system

Determined based on various factors, number of destroyed enemy Command Posts/Field HQs/annexes, number of enemies defeated, and number of deaths

Point guildines

Defeated enemies/death counts
Each defeated enemy	3 points
Each death by enemy	1 point
Score for each type of command post/field headquarters and annex buildings destroyed
Flimsy Barricade	1 point
Barricade	1 point
Iron Barricade	3 points
Flimsy Wooden Fence	3 points
Wooden Fence	5 points
Wooden Fence Gate	10 points
Siege Defense Tower	1 point
Enhanced Flame Tower	40 points
Big Hwacha	40 points
Supply Depot	15 points
Recovery Center	15 points
Cannon Observatory	15 points
Elephant Nursery	15 points
Indomitable Flag Factory	10 points
Medium Siege Tower Workshop	15 points
Large Siege Tower Workshop	15 points
Ballista Workshop	15 points
Flame Tower	20 points
Hwacha	20 points
Indomitable Flag	30 points
Conquest War Fort/Command Post/Field HQ	150 points

* The top 5 guilds/alliances at the end of the Conquest War (minus the one that emerges as Lord), based on this point system will receive the Burning Spirit Reward based on their rankings.
- When the point system is applied, rewards will be obtained differentially based on the elapsed battle time.
* Guilds/alliances whose Command Posts/Field HQs are destroyed within the first hour after the start of the Conquest War can obtain a Fighting Spirit Reward (Gold Bars worth 150,000,000 Silver, Resplendent Medal of Honor x10).
* Guilds/alliances whose Command Posts/Field HQs were destroyed after the first hour receive w least a Burning Inspiration Reward (Gold Bars worth 250,000,000 Silver, Resplendent Medal of Honor x36). Ranking will be determined based on the time of destruction.

* If there are fewer than 6 guilds/alliances remaining at the end of the Conquest War, rewards are given based on the order of destruction of Command Posts/Field HQs

For example, if there are 4 guilds/alliances remaining at the end of the Conquest War,
the guild/alliance that achieves the highest score among the remaining guilds/ alliances becomes lord and receives the Glorious Victor Reward, and the guilds/alliances from 2nd-4th place will each receive a Burning Spirit Reward (2-6th place will receive from 300 million to a maximum of 700 million Silver worth of Gold Bars, Resplendent Medal of Honor x36)(V)/(IV)/(III)

The Burning Spirit Reward (II)/(I) will be given to the remaining guild/alliances whose Forts/Command Posts were destroyed last, based on the order of destruction.

◈ When there is no Defending Guild

If there is no defending guild present, the conditions for victory remain the same as Node Wars. Destroying all Field HQs or Command Posts of other guilds/alliances while ensuring that your own Field HQ or Command Post remains intact will lead to your victory.

However, if there are two or more guilds remaining at the end of the Conquest War, it does not result in liberation like in Node Wars. Instead, the guild/alliance that obtains a higher score through the point system will be declared winner and occupy the territory.

◈ Achieving Victory in a Conquest War

When a guild achieves victory in a Conquest War, they become the owner of the territory, bringing great honor and prestige.

Additionally, the guild gains access to the accumulated taxes within the territory, and individual participants who participated in the Conquest War will receive individual rewards.

While the winning individuals will receive better rewards, participants who have lost also receive rewards.

5. Merit Rewards

A total of 200 billion Silver is distributed among participating guild/alliance members based on contribution.

This system applies only to Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia Conquest Wars (Offensive vs. Defensive structure). Balenos and Serendia are excluded.

Defensive Success	The defensive side receives 100% of the Merit Reward (distributed equally among members).
Defensive Failure	The defensive side receives a portion of the reward based on the time they held out (distributed equally among members).
Offfensive Success	The reward pool (minus the amount earned by the defensive side) is distributed among surviving offensive guilds based on their points. Merit Reward - reward based on the time the defensive side held out = remaining Merit Reward (The remaining Merit Reward is distributed to offensive guilds/alliances based on points, then split equally among participating guild/alliance members.)
* Defensive Success: All offensive Command Posts/Field HQs are destroyed, or the defensive Command Post/Field HQ survives until the end. * Offensive Success: The defensive Command Post/Field HQ is destroyed before the end.

Rewards are not distributed if there is no defensive guild.
Rewards are not distributed if the war ends instantly with a defensive victory because only a defensive guild was present.
Rewards are only distributed to guilds/alliances whose Command Post/Field HQ remains standing when the war ends.
Even if an offensive guild has high contribution, they will not receive Merit Rewards if their Command Post/Field HQ is destroyed before the end of the war. You can attack both offensive and defensive sides with Forced PvP enabled during Conquest Wars without penalties.

Merit Reward Ratio by Defense Time
Category	< 30 min	30+ min	40+ min	50+ min	60+ min	70+ min	80+ min	90+ min	100+ min	110+ min	120 min
Defensive	0%	10%	20%	30%	40%	50%	60%	70%	80%	90%	100%
Offensive	100%	90%	80%	70%	60%	50%	40%	30%	20%	10%	0%

◈ Item Drop Rate Bonus

If you occupy a territory through a Conquest War, you can gain a +50% increase to your Item Drop Rate to the entire territory.

Territory	Conquest benefits
Tier 1 Limited (Balenos)	All monster zones across all territories Item Drop Rate +20%
Tier 2 Limited (Serendia)	All monster zones across all territories Item Drop Rate +30%
Unlimited (Mediah/Valencia)	All monster zones across all territories Item Drop Rate +50%

* The benefits of each territory are subject to periodic changes.

◈ Unlimited Conquest War Occupying Guild's Node War Mode Selection

The selection of the Node War mode for one week can be made after occupying a Territory without gear score limits in Conquest War (Mediah/Valencia).

After becoming the occupying guild of an unlimited Conquest War (Mediah/Valencia), you can announce the Node War mode for the following week to the Black Desert world for approximately 2 hours.

Unlimited Conquest War Occupying Guild's Node War Mode Selection

Announcement Period

[Announcement Period: Approx. 2 hours after end of Conquest War]

The Node War mode announced by the occupying guild of the unlimited Conquest War (Mediah/Valencia) will proceed

from Sunday following the announcement until the next Conquest War (Sun-Fri).

* If the Node War mode is not designated, Occupation mode is the default mode.

* If Conquest War ends and the occupying guild is confirmed before the Conquest War period ends, the next Node War mode can be selected until approximately 2 hours after the Conquest War period ends.

◈ Tax

When becoming the lord of a territory, the guild will acquire the taxes collected from the territory as guild funds. Refer to the rules regarding taxes below.

- In a Conquest War, all guilds/alliances participating in the siege can plunder 2% of the scheduled tax collection amount accumulated in the territory every 10 minutes after the start of the Conquest War. They can plunder up to a maximum of 20%.

- As the consecutive weeks of occupation by the defending guild increase, the maximum amount of tax that can be plundered increases by 2% each week, up to a maximum of 30% after 5 weeks of consecutive occupation.

- The criteria for the amount of plundered tax is based on the time of destruction of the last guild/alliance's Command Post/Field HQ, and it is distributed equally among all participating guilds/alliances in the siege. (However, the plundered tax can only be obtained if the defending guild/alliance successfully defends the territory during the Conquest War.)

- In other words, if the title of lord taken by another guild/alliance that participated in the siege, the plundered tax cannot be obtained.

- When a guild/alliance is victorious in the Conquest War and occupies a territory, 50% of the accumulated tax in that territory during the first week of occupation will be used as security budget, and only the remaining 50% will be obtained.

- With consecutive occupations, the security budget decreases. When occupying the territory for more than 5 consecutive weeks, it is possible to obtain 100% of the accumulated tax amount in the territory.

- The guild/alliance that is victorious can obtain both the accumulated tax in the occupied node and individual victory rewards.

Tier	Lord's Collected Taxes
1	30,000,000,000 - 40,000,000,000
2	50,000,000,000 - 60,000,000,000
3	60,000,000,000 - 70,000,000,000
