War of Emperium

War of Emperium (WoE) is a biweekly event held across Rune-Midgard that challenges Guilds to participate in massive battles with one another. War of Emperium uses a guild vs. guild battle system which activates on constant, pre-selected days. Offensive teams aim to destroy a castle's Emperium, while it is up to the defending guild and its allies to protect the stone at all costs.

You must be in a guild that possesses the Guild Approval skill to land any hits on the Emperium or castle guardians. Guild alliances cannot be formed or broken during WoE.

Castle Ownership

• Flags allow the defending guild to move quickly to the stronghold of their castle, or in WoE 2.0, other locations within the castle.
• Guardians provide extra offence for the defending guild. They can be summoned by guilds with the skill Guardian Research.
• Guild Dungeons house various monsters and MVP, some of which can't even be found on regular maps. All members of victorious guilds are able to access the guild dungeon for their castle's particular realm.
• Treasure Rooms yielding various items are available to the castle's guild master. After each server midnight, 4 or more Treasure Chests will spawn in the treasure room.
• Economy determines the number of treasure boxes that appear based on the castle's economy. The items available in the castle's treasury depend on the castle itself.

Special WoE Maps

WoE 2.0

The castles in Yuno and Rachel function slightly differently than the original castles. War of Emperium 2.0 castles are not divided into multiple "rooms". In lieu of portals, flags within the castle provide many more transport locations for the defending guild. In addition to the skill restrictions in classic WoE, High Jump is also disabled.

Castle Defense

Sets of Barricades provide defense to prevent enemies from advancing. They can be removed by first destroying the Guardian Stones on either side of the castle. (Unlike the Emperium, Guardian Stones and Barricades are both affected by skills.)

Members of the guild currently in possession of the castle may repair the guardian stones if it is currently destroyed. Each attempt requires the following set of items:

• Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  Oridecon x1
• Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  Elunium x1
• Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  Blue Gemstone x5
• Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  Yellow Gemstone x5
• Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  Red Gemstone x5
• Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  Stone x30

Non-Trans Castles

Only characters who have not rebirthed may enter non-trans castles. However, not all members of the guild must be non-trans.

Restricted Castles

We understand that getting into the WoE scene can be difficult for individuals who are new to the game or server. So, to assist in leveling the playing field, we've added certain restrictions to selected WoE maps, which you can see listed above. Restricted WoE disallows players from using the following items:

• Special Quest Items (SQI)
• Certain MVP/Mini-boss cards.
• Most consumables.
• Selected higher-tiered items.

Potions for restricted WoE are available outside the castle.

Related Mobs

Emperium

When an Emperium breaks, whichever guild makes the final hit on the Emperium will then gain ownership of the castle. All other guilds will be forcibly ejected, and a global broadcast will be played to announce the new castle ownership. The new Emperium that spawns is is invulnerable to the defending guild and its allies. (Note that this does not include un-guilded/un-allied party members of the defending guild).

The Emperium is also unaffected by most active skills.
