Hello, Adventurers!
We wanted to help all guilds to grow with our last update by removing the minimum number of participants required for Node War, decreasing the difference between collectible tax from each node, and averaging out the percentage of tax. However, certain powerful guilds have started to fight in lower level nodes as the minimum requirements were removed and the percentages of tax collected were averaged out. Node War is a stage set for guilds to demonstrate their strength and unity. It is also a place for guilds to secure guild funds for them to grow. Level 1 nodes are crucial starting points for new guilds to grow faster. So, we are going to implement the following rules to minimize the chances of these guilds from facing an overwhelming opponent. - Guilds that occupy level 1 nodes cannot participate in Node War in level 2 or higher nodes. - Guilds that occupy level 2 or higher nodes cannot participate in Node War in level 1 nodes. (Guilds must occupy a level 3 node or higher to participate in Conquest War.) We would like to continue to listen to our adventurers about any feedback that you may have about Node War or Conquest War. We are currently in the process of creating content that will be fitting for all levels of plays, especially for newly created guilds to medium size guilds. For example, we are trying to get more adventurers to enjoy in Node War and PVP by fighting in level 1 nodes against guilds of similar caliber. What is more, we will add more rewards suitable for various needs which will help Guilds that are eager to grow fast, or help new Adventurers feel the excitement of the large-scale war contents. As for powerful Guilds, we will continue to do our utmost to provide an environment where they can compete one another at high tier Nodes, and gaining honor and wealth from the battlefield. |
The following changes were made to Node War system.
Guilds occupying Tier 1 Nodes cannot participate in Tier 2 or higher Node Wars
Guilds occupying Tier 2 or higher Nodes cannot participate in Tier 1 Node Wars
Maximum number of participants allowed for the following nodes has been changed as below. (These are the nodes of Tier 3~4 where relatively powerful Guilds can compete at even with relatively small number of participants)
Tier 3 Node
Serendia Shrine (Thurs.): 55 → 30
Pilgrim's Haven (Wed.): 55 → 30
Tier 4 Node
Abandoned Iron Mine (Sun.): 100 → 30
Witch's Chapel (Mon.): 100 → 30

You can set character tagging via the Tag Characters button on the left-hand side of your game display, next to the Camping Tool icon. The character you are currently logged in as will be the “primary character,” and the character you are tagging will be the “tagged character.”
If you left-click the button, the Character’s Tag Setting window will become activated. If you right-click, you will switch characters.
You can only tag or un-tag characters in towns (excluding Kusha, Abun, and Muiquun).
To link two Characters for the Tag function, both characters must be in the same town.
You can switch from your tagged character to your primary character anywhere. However, you cannot switch characters in the desert or great ocean.
You cannot switch characters during Node/Conquest War.
After switching characters via tagging, there will be a cooldown of 5 minutes. However, you can still change characters via the Character Selection window.
Character tagging shares the same cooldown as Emergency Escape and applies to both the primary character and the tagged character. There is also a five minute cooldown for character tagging after changing characters or servers.
You cannot buy or sell trade items with a tagged character. That character also cannot move trade items to or from mount inventories or a storage.
