Border War

On the borders, shards are surfacing from beneath the ash, and all three factions claim them as their own. Once a week the warriors of the Order of the Blood Moon, the Suncrown Alliance and the Azure Veil League clash at the contested border points – and every victory adds to their own faction's score.

Schedule

A system message goes out to every player when the war starts and when it ends, and the event indicator on your screen shows it while it lasts.

Locations

The war is fought in three border regions: Land of Lament, Drysand Waste and Mistwild. During the war the event tracker also shows where the fighting is.

How it works

• For the two hours of the war, in these three regions, every player of another faction you defeat earns 1 point for your faction.
• Points are tallied per faction; all three factions start from zero when the war begins.
• Only characters who have already chosen a faction (at the end of Chapter 6 of the Chronicle) can take part.
• When the war ends, the faction with the most points wins. If the top spot is tied, or nobody scored, there is no winner.
• The closing announcement lists the scores of all three factions.

Faction reward

Every member of the winning faction gains +5% experience for one week – even if they didn't take part in the fighting.

Border Warden task (personal)

While the war is on, the personal Border War task is active too (if you log in during the war, you'll also find it among your quest letters):

• Task: defeat 10 players of other factions in any of the three border regions.
• Reward: experience (20% of the experience needed for your current level) and money (your level × 10 silver).
• It can be completed once per day; progress is shown in the quest tracker and in chat ("Border War: 3/10").
