War of the Roses

Last Update: March 13, 2024

War of the Roses

A new form of conquest war begins this coming month day (Sun), the War of the Roses. We'd like to thank all of our Adventurers for their support and patience. Being a large-scale PvP content, we will keep a close eye during the preseason, applying fixes and making adjustments with haste where needed.

War of the Roses - Main Questline

By the Oracle of Sylvia, the War of the Roses has ignited between Kamasylvia and O'dyllita over the Allmother's throne.

Queen Brolina Ornette of Kamasylvia and Queen Viorencia Odore of O'dyllita bolster their respective factions, welcoming all adventurers eager to join their cause.

One throne, two successors. Who shall emerge as the rightful queen?

Added the War of the Roses main questline.
- Upon completing the [O'dyllita] Hadum's Realm quest, talk to the Black Spirit and accept [War of the Roses] Tulid's Message under the Main quests tab.

The War of the Roses questline divides into two crossroad paths by selecting either Kamasylvia or O'dyllita, and you can only proceed with one path at any given time.
- Completing each crossroad path will grant you the following titles.

Kamasylvia Crossroads Path		O'dyllita Crossroads Path
[Title] White Rose Bloom		[Title] Black Rose Bloom

* You do not need to complete the War of the Roses main questline to participate in the War of the Roses.

Captain & Lieutenants

Guild masters of the leading guilds can either appoint or become captains themselves to seize command over the battlefield.

Captains gain access to the tactical map, which lets them see live updates during the war, as well as an arsenal of unique skills.

Lieutenants play a rather important part in supporting their captains, and their appointment can effectively swing the tide of battle.

The leading (captain's) guild must appoint one captain to command the Third Legion within the designated time, otherwise, the guild master of the leading guild will automatically be appointed as the legion's captain.
- You can appoint the captain via ESC Menu - War - War of the Roses.

* Once a captain has been appointed and announced, they cannot be changed, so make your decision wisely.

* Once appointed, a captain must appoint three trusty lieutenants before the War of the Roses begins. Failure to do so will lead to the captain entering the war without any lieutenants.

Captain

One captain can be appointed appointed to each side (Kamasylvia & O'dyllita), and they can utilize the tactical map to decree orders and set up objectives for the Third Legion to take on and carry out during the war.
- Captains also gain access to exclusive skills that will grant their faction benefits in battle.
Captains can place leading guild members and Third Legion mercenaries into platoons, and only captains can set and edit the platoons.
You can edit platoons even while a war is in progress, but you cannot remove members of a platoon once war has begun.
- You cannot edit Third Legion platoons that have been assigned with missions.
Captains can follow allies on the tactical map, along with occupied points, while continuously issuing/canceling missions to the Third Legion. (Canceling a mission will deem it completed.)

Lieutenant

Captains of each faction's leading (captain's) guild can appoint three lieutenants.
Lieutenants can also assign orders and various missions to members of the Third Legion via the tactical map.

War of the Roses - War Area

The War of the Roses is held over sections of Kamasylvia and O'dyllita territories displayed below.
There are no safety zones in the War of the Roses - the entire map becomes a combat zone.
Ornette & Odore Castles have stable keepers and wharf managers in certain spots available.
Old Wisdom Tree and Starry Midnight Port also have stable keepers and wharf managers available.

War's Commencement & Progress

Any participants standing in the war area prior to the war beginning will be automatically teleported to within their faction's castle walls once the war begins.

Your faction commander's blessings can be received by standing near them before heading out to conquer your first sanctum.

Defeat adventurers in the opposing faction to accrue higher ranks that will display on your simplified Family info.

Participant Placement

Once the war begins, all participants within the war area will be moved to one of three random coordinates within their faction's castle walls.
- You won't be moved if you're already inside your faction's castle.

* All participants must move to the war area to participate in the War of the Roses.

Faction Buffs

When the war begins, each faction's commander will grant a boon for 5 minutes to all who approach them within Ornette/Odore Castle.
- These buffs will help support your conquest of sanctums.

Kamasylvia Faction		O'dyllita Faction
Narchillan's Blessing (Effect: Extra AP Against Monsters +30 for 10 min)		Sephir's Blessing (Effect: Extra AP Against Monsters +30 for 10 min)

Ranks & Simplified Family Info

All participants will see their character name display simplified as the following during the war:
- Faction (Kamasylvia: White Rose Legion / O'dyllita: Black Rose Legion)
- Rank (Based on performance, but Captain/Lieutenant remains fixed)
- Family Name

Hero	Devourer	Elite Champion	Champion
100 kills	50 kills	30 kills	Base rank

Additional Notes

- All participants' Black Spirit's Rage is reset once war begins.
- Guild skills are restricted on a server with War of the Roses in progress.
- Akin to Node/Conquest War rules, all monsters on War of the Roses servers will disappear 15 minutes prior to war's beginning, only to return 10 minutes after a war's conclusion.
- Akin to Node/Conquest War rules, all usage of/access to the Archaeologist's Map, Lafi Bedmountain's Improved Compass/Telescope, and the Magnus Abyssal Wells are restricted.
- Akin to Node/Conquest War rules, all non-participants on the same server will see their DP reduced to 0 and become susceptible to participant attacks.
* Only adventurers bearing the "War Correspondent" title can go about their corresponding ways, unaffected by the above effects.
- All areas where the War of the Roses is in progress become Combat Zones.

War of the Roses - Sanctums & Monsters

Occupied sanctums not only grant beneficial buffs to allies (faction and the Third Legion) but also serve as resurrection points.

Take advantage of these buffs to gain the upper hand and ultimately defeat the opposing faction's commander.

Do note that any interruptions between occupied sanctums may cause you to lose all buffs.

▲ 20 sanctums consisting of N (Narchillan) 1 to 10, S (Sephir) 1 to 10, and the Spirit's Altar (center)

Sanctums & Guardians

There are 20 sanctums in the War of the Roses, with different monsters spawning at each sanctum.
- Minus the 1st sanctum occupied in the beginning by each faction, once war commences, Faded Relics will spawn at each neutral sanctum, which will remain passive to adventurers.
If a sanctum is occupied by the opposing faction, you will need to defeat all monsters that have spawned at that sanctum. Once all monsters have been cleared, an allied guardian monster will spawn affiliated to the newly re-occupied sanctum.
- Guardian monster types are fixed based on each sanctum.

Kamasylvia Faction Guardian Monsters		O'dyllita Faction Guardian Monsters
Urugon, Ronin, Narc Brishka, Old Mirumok, Fadus Warrior, Fadus Shaman, Fadus Archer		Olun's Golem, Ulutuka, Turo Berserker, Dark Knight, Ahib Salun Wolf Spearmaiden, Ahib Salun Bear Spearmaiden, Ahib Dark Champion

You can only conquer sanctums that are closest to a sanctum occupied by your faction. Defeating monsters in any other sanctums will not let your faction occupy them.
Each time your faction occupies a sanctum, all participants in your faction will obtain one of the following passive effects.
- You can check the tactical map to see which sanctum grants which passive effect.

Sanctum Passives
AP +40
Damage Reduction +40
Black Spirit's Rage Recovery +2% per 10 sec
All Resistance +5%
HP +2,000
Movement Speed +10%
Attack Speed +3%
Accuracy +40
Evasion +40

Spirit's Altar

The guards of Ornette and Odore Castles are quite formidable,

so occupying the Spirit's Altar to attain the Spirit's Blessing is key before attempting any siege of the opposing faction's castle.

You must transfer a certain amount of Black Spirit's Rage to occupy the Spirit's Altar.

We strongly recommend utilizing mounts with high HP, such as the elephant, before attempting the siege.

There is only one Spirit's Altar during the war, and you must transfer enough Black Spirit's Rage into the monsters spawned around the altar to occupy it.
- The Spirit's Altar is crucial to occupy before attempting to siege the enemy faction's castle due to the powerful buffs it grants, and will also spawn Ancient Chariots, Ancient Trolls, and elephants.

Spirit's Altar Occupation Effects
Ancient Chariot, Ancient Trolls, Elephants "Spirit's Blessing" boon granted * The Spirit's Blessing grants temporary but powerful effects helpful when besieging the enemy castle.

The guards of Ornette/Odore Castle are quite formidable, but do not respawn upon defeat,
so taking them down while under the effects of the Spirit's Blessing is the key to achieving victory in the War of the Roses.

Once the Spirit's Altar is activated, it cannot be re-occupied for 20 minutes, and you can check the timer on the tactical map.

War of the Roses - Victory Conditions

The ultimate goal of the leading (captain's) guild is to defeat the opposing faction's commander (Narchillan or Sephir).

For the sake of securing the advantage in local skirmishes, it is crucial to continue occupying more sanctums.

With your guild (alliance) members, lead up to 200 Third Legion members and the rest of your faction to victory.

The Third Legion's ultimate goal is also taking down the opposing faction's commander.

Raze down enemy sanctums and protect those occupied by your faction, while freely engaging the enemy throughout the war area.

The leading (captain's) guild will issue missions from time to time where needed, so carry them out to achieve your goal.

You must defeat the opposing faction's commander located within their castle walls to achieve victory in War of the Roses.
- If both commanders remain standing at the end of the War of the Roses, the faction whose commander has the highest HP wins.

Commander Narchillan of Ornette Castle		Commander Sephir of Odore Castle

Guards watch over the inner and outer walls of each faction's castle, and they are quite formidable, so proceed with caution.
- Defeated guards will not respawn.

War of the Roses - Tactical Map

During the War of the Roses, the world map used is known as the Tactical Map.

The Tactical Map displays occupation status, HP, and other information of each sanctum.

Captains and lieutenants can view the location and view of allies, and the location of enemies discovered by allies will also be marked on the map.

Through the Tactical Map, captains and lieutenants of the leading guild (alliance) can issue missions for the Third Legion to attack, defend, and suppress each sanctum.

Missions ordered by captains and lieutenants on the Tactical Map are displayed on screen to the Third Legion, along with navigation.

The captain of the leading guild (alliance) can access six captain-only faction skills via the Tactical Map.

You can illuminate your own view to spot any weaknesses or obscure the opponents' tactical map to disrupt their tactics.

Powerful Ogres and Griffons can be summoned to a specific sanctum to occupy or defend.

Platoons can be rallied to certain allied sanctums, making it invincible for a period of time.

Tactical Map

The Tactical Map is exclusively used in place of the world map during the War of the Roses.
- The war area and status of the faction commander can be checked, along with sanctum status (remaining HP, occupation status), and the placement of platoons.
- Regardless of your faction, allies are marked in blue, and enemies are marked in red on the Tactical Map.
- The location and status of members based on their position can also be viewed.

Captains & Lieutenants		- Can see the location of all allies and enemy locations in revealed areas.
Platoon Leaders of Each Faction		- Can see one's current location and the location of other platoon members.
Platoon Members of Each Faction The Third Legion of Each Faction		- Can see one's current location

Tactical Map Control

The captain can inspect the allies' platoon formation and together with the lieutenant, can assign missions to the Third Legion.

Missons can be assigned continuously to move forward with the Third Legion.

If allies are moving around or lost, their direction can be assigned through area selection control (ALT+LMB drag).

A colored navigation ping (ALT+RMB) can also be used in major regions or locations.

[F1] Platoon List	- The list of platoons formed by guild members and the Third Legion can be checked on the bottom left of the Tactical Map.
[F2] Platoon Deployment	- Captains can place guild members and the Third Legion in platoons (20 members max each). - Once placed, the Third Legion can be given missions by the captain at a platoon level.

Navigation (Ping Function) ALT + RMB	- The Tactical Map displays four different navigation guide colors: red, yellow, blue, and green. - All allies can see the navigation guide colors on their screen.

Faction Skills

One of the most significant strategic elements to win the War of the Roses is the captain's faction skills.

Confuse or trick your opponents with strategic skills to gain an advantage during the battle.

Multiple skills can be used together for a more effective strategy.

Only the captain can use the six faction skills during the War of the Roses.
- The six faction skills are as follows.

Skill Name	Skill Description
Enhance Vision	Reveals an obscured field of vision for 10 sec. Cooldown: 5 min
Rally Forces	Instantly teleports a selected platoon to the targeted sanctum. Cooldown: 5 min
Powerful Attack	Summon King Griffon/Khalk near a designated sanctum to temporarily unleash heavy area-of-effect damage. Cooldown: 10 min

Obscure Vision	Obscures the enemy's field of vision in fog for 30 sec. The enemy captain can use "Enhance Vision" skill to remove the obscure vision effect. Cooldown: 3 min
Immobilize Guardians	Freezes the sanctum's guardians and restores 20% of their HP, making them impossible to target for approximately 1 min. Cooldown: 10 min

The Third Legion's Mission

The Third Legion operates freely within the war area, facing various enemies and situations.

You can earn more rewards by completing missions assigned by your faction.

(Note that during the preseason period, mission completion rewards will not be applied)

Adventurers participating as members of the Third Legion can go on missions assigned by the captain, which may be completed at a platoon level.
- The six types of missions are as follows.
Depending on which mission is selected for a given location (attack, defense, or enemy suppression), the Third Legion can be assigned one of the following six missions.

Sanctum Attack		Capture a specific sanctum within 10 min.
Sanctum Defense		Defend a specific sanctum for 10 min.
Defeat a Commander		Defeat a Commander within 10 min.
Protect a Commander		Protect a Commander for 10 min.

Missions performed at platoon level can only be carried out one at a time, and multiple missions are impossible.
Missions can continuously be assigned and completed. The more successful missions, the higher the rewards. (Note that during the preseason period, mission completion rewards will not be applied).

War of the Roses - Weapons

In War of the Roses, annexes such as Elephant Nursery and Cannon Observatory are not utilized,

and weapons deployed at the start of the War of Roses can be used immediately.

By effectively utilizing the characteristics of each weapon (such as damage to guardian monsters, damage to individuals, etc.), you can gain an advantage in the war.

During the War of the Roses, five types of weapons are available: Elephants, Chariots, Trolls, Ballistae, and Cannons. These spawn at specific locations at the start of the war.
Elephants, Chariots, and Ballistae spawn on the bridge in front of each faction's Ornette/Odore castle, while Cannons spawn at designated spots.
The Ancient Troll, a siege mount, is only summoned when the Spirit's Altar is occupied. It can be directly mounted by an adventurer from the occupying faction.
Once deployed at the start of the war, these weapons do not respawn if destroyed and will disappear at the war's end.
The War of the Roses weapons are accessible to all allies, regardless of whether they belong to the leading (captain's) guild or the Third Legion or their rank.
When using the War of the Roses exclusive weapons - chariot, ballista, and cannon, no ammunition is consumed.

With today's update, we've made improvements to the previous limitation of recovering killed mounts. Now each sanctum will have a stable keeper to help keep the momentum when you progress to the next sanctum. We've also updated the reward system so that you can receive your reward right away instead of waiting.

Sanctum Stable Keeper Musical Spirits

Stable Keeper Musical Spirits will appear at each sanctum.
- These Musical Spirits will appear when the War of the Roses begins and will return to nature after the war ends.
- You can take out horses and use the remote collection or repair functions.
  - However, you cannot transport horses to sanctums.

* Mounts checked into Sanctum Stable Keepers will be sent to either Grána or O'dylita stables after the War of the Roses ends, depending on the sanctums.

- If mounts are killed, they will not be transported and can be retrieved from any stable via recovery menu in stable.

War Stats has been added to the War of the Roses to see your own or your faction's achievements. You can check the kill and death counts of all participating adventurers.

We've also made some adjustments to Sanctum Passives you receive for occupying them. This will maintain the existing method of expanding your occupied areas with sanctums, but allow for the losing side to have a fighting chance to turn the tables with captain's skills such as Rally Forces to cut off enemy sanctums.

Defense mechanism for each of the War of the Roses castles have also been changed to allow for defenders to have better chances to fend of invading forces.

War of the Roses Stats UI

Added War Stats UI to allow you to check the status of the War of the Roses.
- Those participating in the War of the Roses can view their kill/death record below the minimap and clicking it will open the War Stats UI where you can see the stats of your allies.
  - You can also open the War Stats UI from the tactical map by pressing F5.

War Stats can be accessed via Menu - War (F7) for those not participating in War of the Roses.

* War Stats can be viewed after the War of the Roses match ends and will be maintained until the next War of the Roses.

Changes to Sanctum Passives

Changed the Sanctum Passives as below.

Sanctum Passives
All AP +40 → +28
All Accuracy +40 → +28
All Damage Reduction +40 → +24
All Evasion +40 → +24
Movement Speed +10% → +5%
Black Spirit's Rage Recovery +2% per 10 sec → +1% per 10 sec

Castle (per faction) and Sanctum Revival

Greatly increased the damage inflicted by Light of Kamasylvia and Darkness of O'dyllita to enemy faction adventurers at each of the castles, and added the Guard Break effect to them.
Changed the revival location of each of the sanctums to be farther away from them.

Stricter War of the Roses Penalty

Changed so that adventurers who've received a penalty as the Third Legion cannot join as part of a leading guild.
- Adventurers who've received a penalty cannot press the participate button.
- Adventurers who've received a penalty cannot apply for a leading guild if they are a guild master or alliance leader.
  - As before, adventurers who've received a penalty cannot be appointed as captain or lieutenant of a leading guild.

■ You will receive a penalty for the following violations while participating in the War of the Roses.
1. Not connected to the War of the Roses server (O'dyllita-1) for more than 10 min.
2. No character movement for more than 10 min during the War of the Roses.
3. Moving out of the war area for more than 10 min or 10 times.
※ When you leave the war area, a warning will be displayed on the minimap at the top right of the screen. When you are out of the area for more than 1 minute, a warning message will be displayed.
- You will receive the penalty if the message is shown 10 times.

■ When you receive the War of the Roses penalty, the below will be applied.
- Cannot collect War of the Roses rewards.
- Cannot participate in the following 4 wars.

■ Penalized participant information (guild and Family details) will be shared with their faction's captain and lieutenants for the real-time platoon reorganization.

Rewards

Added a system to automatically distribute rewards via Black Spirit's Safe based on the result when the War of the Roses ends.

- Rewards are distributed based on preseason rewards.

* Rewards are not distributed to participants who receive penalties.

Changed so that you can apply for Guild League after War of the Roses ends.

For example, if War of the Roses is scheduled for 18:00 - 20:00, but it actually ends at 19:15, you can apply for a Guild League match scheduled for 19:30.
This will allow guilds that apply for the 19:30 Guild League match after the War of the Roses to participate without waiting.

Fixed an issue where revived mounts had low HP when revived together with the adventurer in War of the Roses.
Fixed an issue where adventurers from the Third Legion were unable to attack adventurers of the opposing faction within the same guild.
Fixed an issue where the tactical map occasionally showed the gauge of the Spirit's Altar as 100% when it was actually at 0%.
Fixed an issue where adventurers other than captains and lieutenants could check the gauge level of Spirit's Altar via its description.
Fixed the issue where War of the Roses UI window sizes were abnormal depending on the window size of the client.
Fixed an issue causing unexpected termination of the client when opening and closing the War of the Roses tactical map with the Gamepad UI.

Through this update, we have made adjustments to encourage more intense battles, provide opportunities for strategic play, and allow for quicker conclusions when one side has a clear advantage.

As the preseason of the War of the Roses unfolds across all regions, we are grateful for the feedback from our adventurers. On average, the war lasts about 90 minutes, with the time spent defeating the commander accounting for about 20 minutes.

To keep the action flowing, we've reduced the time spent in the final commander battle and increased the intensity of earlier skirmishes. Previously, all sanctums offered the same level of buffs. Now, central sanctums offer a lower-level buff, while the ultimate first sanctum provides the most potent buff. This shift in power dynamics aims to slow the pace of the battlefield, sparking more skirmishes and strategic play.

As the first sanctum's buff has become more significant, so too has its guardian's strength. Both HP and AP (including attack patterns) have been enhanced, making the first sanctum a formidable final line of defense. We expect this to provide strategic opportunities for counterattacks while utilizing the guardians' defense capabilities when the last front line is at the first sanctum.

We look forward to your continued engagement and feedback as we strive to make the War of the Roses an even more thrilling experience.

Sanctum 1

Sanctum 1 of each faction now serves as the pivotal outpost for defense against opposing faction.
The guardians of Sanctum 1 deal increased damage to adventurers, particularly inflicting significant damage on mounts like chariots and elephants.
They also possess fatal attacks that effectively counter the opposing faction's advances.

Changed the Sanctum 1 (N1, S1) of each faction to start in a neutral state at the start of the war.

- Caution is required when riding ancient chariots, elephants, cannons, horses, and other mounts.

Added additional respawn points in O'dyllita Castle and Kamasylvia Castle during the war, in addition to the existing respawn points behind Sephir and Narchillan.

Sanctum Passives Adjustment

The benefits from sanctum passives obtained during the early and mid-stages of the war are reduced.
However, when victory is highly likely by occupying up to Sanctum 1, you can obtain powerful sanctum passives for quick late-stage progression.

Changed the buff effects obtained when occupying each sanctum.
- Powerful effects such as All AP, Max HP, and All Damage Reduction are no longer obtainable from sanctums S2-S9 / N2-N9, and are now obtainable when successfully occupying the first sanctum (S1/N1) of the opposing faction.
- With the powerful passives moving to the first sanctum (S1/N1), some of the passives of each sanctum have been changed or distributed to other sanctums.
  - e.g., Before: All Resistance +5% obtained when occupying N9
  - After: All Resistance +3% obtained when occupying N6, All Resistance +2% obtained when occupying N10

Before

After

With these adjustments, the early and mid-stage impact of sanctum passives is lessened. Yet, when a faction is close to victory after capturing the first sanctum (N1, S1) of the opposing faction, these passives are significantly enhanced. Strategic HP modifications of the castle's commander are implemented for faster late-stage battle progression.
