Objective: Attack an enemy castle or defend your own. This involves breaking down gates, capturing control points, and eliminating enemy players.
Location: Any of the numerous castles and strongholds on the world map.
Strategy (Attacking): Coordinate with your guild and faction. Use siege engines (trebuchets, ballistas) to break down walls and gates. Focus fire on enemy players defending key positions. Push as a group, using shields to absorb damage and healers to keep the front line alive. Capture the flag inside the keep to win. Communication is absolutely vital.
Strategy (Defending): Utilize the castle's defenses: archer towers, boiling oil, and chokepoints. Repair damaged walls and gates. Focus on eliminating enemy siege engines and high-priority targets (healers, damage dealers). Hold the inner keep at all costs. Use traps and barricades to slow down the enemy advance. Teamwork and strategic positioning are key.
Reward: Large amounts of experience, silver and gold coins, contribution points, and potentially rare crafting materials or high-tier gear drops from enemy players.
