Computation for Registration Rank

During the Guild Registration Period, guilds can announce their intentions to attack the castle.

Registration Period is the time to bid for the top 3 slots for the siege by using Sign of Lord to enhance their ranking.

If more than 3 guilds have been registered, then rank will be calculated with the following formula:

Registration Ranking Formula

Ranking = (Registered Sign of Lord * 5) + Guild Members Number + (Guild Master Level / 4)

The Announcement of Qualified Guilds announces all the guilds that have been accepted into the Guild Siege.

tip

Sign of Lord can be obtain while killing monsters.

To stamp press it for 30 seconds. If the 2 footholders (Crown Switches) that are needed for stamping are cancelled or the character gets killed the stamping will fail.

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

• Attacking own troops is only possible by pressing CTRL key. Be careful!

The guild with their official seal stamped at the end of the siege will be pronounced as Owner of the Castle.
