※ The new rules can be enjoyed with the Node War that will restart on July 22nd.

Please read on below to find the changes and additions made to our Node Wars and Conquest Wars.

● Now nodes will be classified into Normal Nodes and Conquest Nodes.

- The Conquest Nodes will be classified into 3 different tiers with the higher tier giving more taxes to collect. Normal Nodes will give less amount of tax than Conquest Nodes. Conquest Nodes and Normal Nodes cannot be occupied at the same time.

● Node Wars will be available daily for guilds to participate so that adventurers can enjoy large-scale battles more regularly. As a result, the maximum number of node that one guild can occupy will be extended from 2 to 6 nodes.

● Instead, Guild Members who can participate in the Node Wars will be decided by the number of nodes occupied by the Guild.

● To summarize the revisions and additions, please read on below:

- At max, a total of 6 nodes will be allowed for occupancy from a single Guild.
- Guild Masters can assign a ‘Chance to Occupy’ to the Guild Members through Guild window (G).
- The Chance to Occupy will decide how many Node Wars the relevant Guild Members will be allowed to participate in the relevant week.
- The Chance to Occupy for Guild Members will reset at the end of Conquest War on Saturdays.
- Normal Nodes and Conquest Nodes cannot be occupied at the same time by the same Guild.
- You cannot participate to a Normal Node, then upon conquering the node participate to a Conquest Node. Upon conquering a Conquest Node, you cannot participate to a Normal Node.
- Depending on the number of nodes occupied, maximum participants allowed for conquering additional nodes will be placed. Max participants allowed depending on number of nodes are as follows:

# of Nodes occupied	Maximum Participants
0 Node	Max 100
1 Node	Max 80
2 Nodes	Max 60
3 Nodes	Max 40
4 Nodes	Max 20
5 Nodes	0 (Only construction of Forts allowed)

- Guild Members-to-participate in the Node/Conquest War can be decided via the Chance to Occupy system. Guild Officers will use an exclusive UI window from Guild window (G) and grant at max 5 times the Chance to Occupy in Node/Conquest War for Guild Members.
- You can place Chance to Occupy to 20 members at a time.
- Regardless of actual participation of the guild member, the 1 Change to Occupy will be deducted every successful occupation of a node from a guild.
- Guild Member who do not have any Chance to Occupy remaining will be classified as a non-participant and cannot take part in the Node War.
- For example if there are total of 100 Guild Members in a Guild, the Guild Master can grant 20 members at a time the Chance to Occupy (from 1 to 5 times). This does mean all 100 Guild Members can be set to participate in the very first Node War.
- If the 20 Guild Members who have been given 1 Chance to Occupy participates and successfully conquers to occupy a Node, that 20-member group can no longer participate in that week’s Node Wars. The rest 80 out of a 100-member Guild, if this 80 Guild Members had been given 2~5 Chance to Occupy, will be able to participate in the next Node War.

Example of Chance to Occupy applied for a 100-member Guild
For the 1^st Node	All Guild Members with 1~5 Chance to Occupy given can participate
For the 2^nd Node (If 1 node is occupied)	Guild Members with 2~5 Chance to Occupy
For the 3^rd Node (If 2 nodes are occupied)	Guild Members with 3~5 Chance to Occupy
For the 4^th Node (If 3 nodes are occupied)	Guild Members with 4~5 Chance to Occupy
For the 5^th Node (If 4 nodes are occupied)	Guild Members with 5 Chance to Occupy
For the 6^th Node (If 5 nodes are occupied)	Only construction of Forts allowed

- Chance to Occupy cannot be changed if Node War or Conquest War is in progress.
- However, Conquest War allows at max 100 Guild Members to participate regardless of the number of nodes occupied by the Guild.

● Conquest Wars have received new rules.

- From the number of Conquest Nodes excluding the Normal Nodes, Guilds with 2 or more nodes occupied can build Fort/Command Posts and participate in the Conquest Wars.
- In order to construct Fort/Command Post/Field HQ, you need to occupy 2 or more Conquest Nodes excluding the Normal Nodes. You can start constructing a day after occupying 2 Conquest Nodes.
- In order to cut down on resurrection cooldown and time needed to move to the relevant areas, a new Castle Gate resurrection points have been added to Calpheon and Mediah Conquest Wars to bring the action faster to you.
- Castle Gate resurrection point for Offensive and Defensive are located in different locations.
- The Offensive Guild must have destroyed the Castle Gate in order to resurrect near the Castle Gate.
- It has been changed so that Cannons cannot be installed inside the castle in Conquest Wars.
- If a Guild with more than 2 nodes occupied is participating in the Conquest War, 2% of the tax from the territory can be collected every 10 minutes the Fort/Command post is successfully defended.
- Forts/Command Posts/Field HQs needed to participate in Conquest Wars can be built on the day of the Conquest War.
- The tax obtainable at this point equals 2% of the amount expected to be collected excluding Security Budget.
- This tax will be collected at the end of the Conquest War when the opposing side’s Fort/Command Post is destroyed.
- Offensive side can obtain at max 20% of the territory tax.
- If the Offensive side ultimately wins in the Conquest War, the tax obtained for successfully defending Fort/Command Post will not be counted in the calculation. Same as before, amount excluding Security Budget will be collected.
- If the Defensive side ultimately wins in the Conquest War, total amount of tax excluding the tax already collected by the Offensive side and Security Budget will be given as the winning reward.
- If there are several Guilds participating in the Offensive side, at max 20% of the tax collected for the Offensive side will be allocated by number of Guilds participating.
  - For example if there are 3 Guilds participating in the Offensive side, about 6.66% (of the 20%) will be given to each Guild. Please be informed that the max 20% tax collected for the Offensive side is given only in the case where the Offensive side loses and the Defensive side wins.
- If there is a Guild who defeats other remaining Guilds in the Offensive side after the Fort/Command Post/Field HQ of the Defensive Guild is destroyed, the single Guild remaining will be declared the winner and take all the tax of the territory.
- Other participating Guilds in the Offensive side who loses to this single Guild cannot be given a share of the 20% tax collectable during the Conquest War.
- If there is no Guild declared as the winner of the Conquest War even after the Fort/Command Post/Field HQ of the Defensive Guild is destroyed and the Conquest War time ends, the territory will be liberated and no Offensive Guild will be able to obtain the tax.

- You can use Simple Cooking/Alchemy to make Cron Meals/Draughts.
- All the effects of a Cron Meal or Draught will be shown on a single icon, allowing you to better check and manage your Character’s buffs.
- The effects of Cron Meals and Draughts cannot be stacked with other food or elixirs.
- If you consume a Cron Meal/Draught while the effects of another food/elixir is in effect, the old effects will disappear and the effects of the Cron Meal/Draught will be applied.
- If you consume a food item while a Cron Meal is still in effect, the item will be consumed but the only effect you will get from it is Health EXP gain.
- While a Draught is in effect the effects of elixirs will not be applied, excluding those of Perfume of Courage, Perfume of Swiftness, Elixir of Deep Sea, Khalk’s Elixir, Spirit Perfume Elixir, Whale Tendon Elixir or Tough Whale Tendon Elixir.
- Cron Meals and Draughts can be used simultaneously. However if a Cron Meal/Draught is still in effect and another type of Cron Meal/Draught is consumed, then the effects of the original Cron Meal/Draught will be replaced with that of the newly consumed Cron Meal/Draught.
  - For example, if you first consume a Seafood Cron Meal and then consume an Exquisite Cron Meal, only the effects of Exquisite Cron Meal will be applied.
- When crafting Cron Meals and Draughts, you can substitute ingredients with high grade ingredients. For example instead of Balenos Meal x3, you can use Special Balenos Meal x1.
