Basic Information

• Battlegrounds are divided by level, fighting separately.
• Players will be placed randomly into level groups (lvl.30-39, lvl.35-44, lvl.40-49, lvl.45-54, lvl.50-59, lvl.55-64, lvl.60-69, lvl.65-74, lvl.70-80) upon entering this event.
• Each battleground can hold a total of 30 players (15 per team), in which they will be automatically divided into two teams.
• Players have a maximum 2 attempts (players can still enter Battleground after completing their attempts and will gain Honor and Faction Points but will cease to recieve Cross-Server PvP Points and Battleground Treasure Shards).
• Players can always exit battleground, even before the timer runs out. After exiting, there is a 5-minute-cooldown, in this time there is no re-entering possible. After the timer runs out, battleground can be entered again, but the previous aquired Faction Points are lost. There is no guarantee that the same battleground will be entered again. Re-entering does not consume a battleground attempt.

Objective

• Collect crystal ores, located in the middle of the battleground, and turn them in back at your Resoure Quarry Officer.
• You will gain Honor, Faction Points and Battleground Treasure Shards by turning in these crystals.
• There are three separate kinds of crystals (Inferior, Normal, and Superior), each offering yields.
• Defeat players of the other team to gain Honor, Faction Points and Cross-Server PvP Points.
• Defeat guardians of the other team to gain Honor and Faction Points.
• As soon as the battle timer runs out, victory will be awarded to the team with the most Faction Points.
• Winning teams will receive more Insignia and Honor than the losing team once the battleground has ended.
• Insignia earned can then be exchanged for various equipment, weaponry and miscellaneous items at the Arena Shop.
• Collect and synthesize 60 Battleground Treasure Shards and 20,000 gold in the Blacksmith and receive a Battleground Treasure Chest.

Rewards

• Upon turning in a Inferior crystal will gain 1 Honor, 1 Battleground Treasure Shards and 10 Faction Points; Normal crystal will gain 2 Honor, 2 Battleground Treasure Shards and 20 Faction Points; Superior crystal will gain 3 Honor, 3 Battleground Treasure Shards and 30 Faction Points.
• Players defeating players of the other team will gain Honor and Cross-Server PvP Points according to their Honor Level. Players can gain extra Honor by killing players with a killing streak. The amount of honor gained from a kill can vary depending on how much honor the person you killed has, compared to the amount of honor you have.
• Players defeating guardians of the other team will gain 20 Honor and 200 Faction points for every guardian defeated.
  • Losses will cause 150 Honor (after crusader rank) and 150 Faction points 
• A pop-up will appear, for the players who have a killing streak, displaying the player's name a unique statement.
  • For 3 kills in a row: [player name] is on a killing spree!
  • For 4 kills in a row: [player name] is dominating the field!
  • For 5 kills in a row: [player name] is unstoppable!
  • For 6 kills in a row: [player name] is unstoppable!
  • For 7 kills in a row: [player name] is close to god, someone stop him.her!
  • For 8 kills in a row: [player name] has killed more souls than the Grimm Reaper! (this pop-up repeats if the streak continues)
• A pop-us also appears when a player defeats another player with a killing streak:
  • For killing a player with 3 kills: [player name] has ended [defeated player name]'s killing streak!
  • For killing a player with 4 kills: [player name] has put a stop to [defeated player name]'s domination!
  • For killing a player with 5 kills: [player name] has proven [defeated player name] can be defeated!
  • For killing a player with 6 kills: [player name] has proven [defeated player name] can be defeated!
  • For killing a player with 7 kills: [player name] has killed the venerable [defeated player name]!
  • For killing a player with 8 kills: [player name] has killed the deadly [defeated player name]!
• After the event is over the player who has the most kills receives a MVP (Most Vicious Player) beside his name. If two players have the same number of kills, the player with the higher Faction points receives MVP. If both have same Faction points and number of kills, the the players with more Honor receives MVP.
• Winning team's players will recieve 90 Honor and 80 Insignia and losing team's players will recieve 30 Honor and 30 Insignia.

Notes

• Health potions cannot be used in the battlegrounds. Upon death, your health will be automatically restored. You may also restore HP with 200 Faction Points (Buff potions still work i.e Charisma, Endurance, Atk, etc.).
• The general terms Insignia and Medallion are currently being used for the same item. If an item requires 500 Medallions in the Arena Shop, 500 Insignia are actually required.
• Having the most Faction Points overall or being the MVP does not get you a bonus.
• You can use Faction Points to heal without any worry that your team score will be lowered. 
• If you get killed at least twice in a row, you get dryad's blessing (Buff of 20% on your stats, increased by 10% for each additional kill of your toon). Highest blessing you can obtain is 100%. If you kill somebody, the buff disappears again.
