[Guide] Castle Siege

Castle Siege Basics

- There is only one Castle on Valhalla in the Valley of Loren.

- Move to Lorencia (239, 13) to enter the Valley of Loren.

- There is no level restriction for entering the Valley of Loren.

- The Valley of Loren map is PVP for all, even if you came from a non-PVP server.

- During the actual Castle Siege event, you can attack your opponents without holding down the CTRL key.

- Items that normally could drop when you are PKed with Outlaw status will not drop during the Castle Siege event.
Siege Participants Requirements
- All participating guilds must have a Guild Master that is at least Level 200 or higher (no Class restrictions).

- All participating guilds must have at least 20 members or more.

- In order to actually be able to interact with the Castle’s devices or to even win the event, a guild must be a part of an alliance.

- Anyone in the Valley of Loren can "participate" or interact with players, but these members or guilds can’t actually win the event themselves.

- If the guild that holds the castle disbands at anytime, they will forfeit the castle.

- There can only be three attacking guilds during the event.
How to register for a siege
Qualified guilds must talk to the Guardsman NPC and press the "Announce" button and their registration will be accepted.

Only the guild master of the main alliance can announce "intent to siege" to the guardsman NPC.

All members of a guild that has announced their intent to siege can collect and submit Signs of Lord during the registration period.

When the guardsman NPC is clicked, the guild name and allied guilds names rankings will show on the registry.

When the guard NPC is clicked Siege status information will be shown.

Guilds are ranked according to several factors, including how many Signs of Lord have been obtained.

Only the top 3 guilds and their allies will be given a priority for the siege.



Computation for registration rank:
Registration Ranking = ((Number of registered Signs of Lord * 5) + Number of Guild Members) + Level of Guild Master /4

- The alliance under the invading/defending team will automatically be sorted into each invading/defending team.

- Attacking your own troops is possible by pressing Ctrl key, as well as certain AOE spells will cause damage to your own allies.

- Range attack can give 80% reduced damage to your own troops and 60% reduced damage for other troops.

- To win Castle Siege, the guild master's official seal should be registered in the pedestal located at the dragon tower, and if it is successfully registered, the lord of the castle is updated with the player who registered.

- Only the guild master can register the official seal in the pedestal.

- To register, press it for 30 seconds and if the 2 switches that are needed for stamping are cancelled or the character gets killed, the registration will fail.

- If there's remaining time, even if the registration was successful, the battle will continue but the 2 camps of invading/defending team will be exchanged.

- The guild with their official seal registered at the end of the siege will become the lords of the castle.

Castle Siege Items

Potions of Bless and Soul
These potions are required for destroying the castle gates and statues.

* Weapon durability rapidly deteriorates when attacking the castle gates and statues without first taking the potion, which greatly reduces the weapon's attack power.

- +20% damage increase is applied when attacking the castle gate and statue but it's not applicable in PvP.
Characteristic of Potion of Soul
- The duration of effect is 30 minutes.

- The zen requirement is 100,000 zen per Jewel of Bless and 50,000 zen per Jewel of Soul.





- Potion of Bless and Potion of Soul can be used the same as regular potions by using the shortcut keys Q/W/E.

- When the player uses the Potion of Bless and Potion of Soul, potions that are being used will be indicated at the top of the screen.

Soldier NPC's

- Because the invading team would be bigger than the defending team with 3 united guilds, the defending team has the option to use Soldier NPCs.

- The defending team can purchase the Soldier NPCs in the castle. They can choose between an archer-type soldier or spearman.

- Soldier NPCs can also be purchased through the merchant NPC of the invading/defending teams.

- Only the Guild Master and Assistant guild master can place Guard NPCs.

- A maximum of 100 soldiers can be deployed at any time. Drop the soldiers at the desired location where they will be summoned as soon as the siege starts. They will start attacking the invading team as soon as they are summoned.
