    • Guilds fighting for Tir Chonaill have to gather near Duncan at 5 PM server time, on Saturday.
    • Guilds fighting for Dunbarton have to gather near Eavan at 5 PM server time, on Sunday.
    • Any member of the guild can create a Guild Party by talking to the respective NPC, although only one party may exist per guild.

  • Partners cannot be summoned and some on-summon effects of pets are disabled.
  • Only items obtained within the Guardian Guild Tournament are usable within the Guild Tournament.
    • As a result, players will need to consume Physical Power Potions and similar items before entering the Tournament.

The Preliminaries

Details

  • This is the first stage of the Guardian Guild Tournament.
    • If only one guild is competing against an incumbent Guardian Guild, the Preliminaries are skipped.
  • Upon entering the Preliminaries, guilds are given 10 minutes to prepare.
    • The preparation timer starts counting down before players enter, so being early will let players get their bearings.
    • Once the preparation time is up, the preliminaries will begin and last 15 minutes.
  • After the game begins, players can choose to either attempt the mini-games to receive helpful items, or fight off the Bandits.

Bandit Invasion

  • Bandit monsters will spawn from a certain location of the map, and will try to make to another location.
    • These Bandits must be defeated before they reach their goal, points will be lost for every bandit that makes it.
    • In Tir Chonaill, the Bandits will spawn near the Commerce Outpost, and will try to make their way to the nearest bridge.
    • In Dunbarton, the Bandits will spawn near the farms north of Dunbarton, and will try to get through the Northern gate of the town.
  • Points will be rewarded based on the amount of damage done to the Bandits, similar to Raid contribution and Dan tests.
    • Players will have various menus in the upper-right hand corner that indicate their guild's point total, as well as their competitors.
  • Defeating Bandits will sometimes drop special Guild Tournament HP 300 Potions, MP 300 Potions, Stamina 300 Potions, and Wound Remedy 100 Potions.
  • Bandits will increase in strength as the Preliminary goes on, becoming more difficult to kill and more likely to kill players.

Mini-games

  • During the Bandit Invasion, there will be 5 orbs that players can choose to hit.
    • In Tir Chonaill these orbs are located near the bridge, slightly northwest of the Commerce Outpost.
    • In Dunbarton these orbs are located the northern entrance of the town.
  • Only 3 mini-games can be done per Guild Battle.
  • Hitting one of these orbs will transport the player to a different location on the map, where a mini-game will take place.
  • Wooden Fence Maze: When the player hits the first orb, they will be given one minute to reach the orbs inside the maze, a Cube Box is given to the player for every orb they manage to hit.
  • Memory Game: When this game begins, 9 orbs will show up, these orbs will flash in a certain order. The player must then hit the orbs in the order shown to receive a Cube Box.

Capture the Flag

Details

  • This is the second, and final, stage of the Guardian Guild Tournament.
  • Upon entering the Finals, guilds are given 10 minutes to prepare.
    • The preparation timer starts counting down before players enter, so being early will let players get their bearings.
    • Once the preparation time is up, the finals will begin and last up to 20 minutes.
  • Players can move freely during the preparatory time, and will remain where they last were when the Finals start.
  • After the game begins, players can choose to either defeat mobs to receive helpful items, or capture and defend the various flags.

The Map

White and Grey flags, captured and uncaptured; Black flags are not unlocked.
  • The Finals Map is divided into four quadrants, with each representing one of the four possible competing teams:
    • Red A Quadrant is reserved for the guild that won in the preliminaries. The area will start with 6 white flags and is otherwise unremarkable.
    • Blue B Quadrant is reserved for the incumbent Guardian Guild and is otherwise vacant if there is none. The area will start with 6 white flags but is also notable for having its quadrant's flags isolated from the rest of quadrants for the majority of the Finals.
    • Green C Quadrant is reserved for the guild that got second in the preliminaries, if there was one. The area has to share 8 white flags with Yellow and can be very competitive early on.
    • Yellow D Quadrant is reserved for the guild that got third in the preliminaries, if there was one. The area has to share 8 white flags with Green and can be very competitive early on.
  • Players will have a star above their head during the Finals that is the color of their guild's quadrant.
    • Green and Yellow stars are very visually similar and can confuse players who do not pay attention.

Flag Capturing

  • The main object of the finals is to capture the most flags possible, as the winner of the Tournament is decided primarily by flag count.
    • If at any time one guild captures a majority (27) of all the flags that would ever be available (55), that team automatically is declared the winner and the Tournament is drawn to a close.
    • If no guild achieves a majority of all flags possible, at the end of 20 minutes the winner is the guild with the most flags out of all the competing guilds.
    • If a tie occurs it is resolved as follows: the incumbent Guardian Guild takes first priority followed by the Preliminary's placement order.
  • There are three types of flag to capture:
    • 20 White Flags spawn at the start of the Tournament and are nearest to the guild starting locations. They act like regular Mobs and have 50,000 HP; the player that last hits the flag will mark it with their guild's color.
    • 15 Gray Flags spawn when all of the White Flags are currently captured at the same time. They require 100 hits from any players to be captured and the last hit is rewarded the flag.
    • 20 Black Flags spawn when all of the Gray Flags are currently captured at the same time. They require 200,000 cumulative damage from a single guild's party; the first to hit this counter is rewarded the flag.
  • When a flag is captured, the color changes to match the color of the guild it was captured by; in addition, two allied Garrison mobs of that color spawn to protect the flag.
    • Flags can be stolen by other guilds. At the start of the Finals round, there are 100 available Flag Reversals. More Reversals Points can be added to the global total by using special Arcana items that drop from mobs, but if no points exist the tournament can enter a stagnant phase where players need to hunt down more Reversal Points.
      • If there are not enough Flag Reversal Points available to steal a flag, the game will continue to respawn Garrison Enemies at their flags rather than leave it undefended.
    • Besides the Garrison Enemies, there is no way to directly prevent a guild from stealing a flag; PvP is not active during the Tournament. However, nothing prevents a team from performing an immediate recapture of any stolen flags.
