NODE/CONQUEST WAR
Due to the change to certain Conquest Wars rules, we will be holding a ""Conquest Wars Pre-Season"" from August 4 (Wed) maintenance until September 1 (Wed). During this Pre-Season, we will be continuously monitoring all Conquest Wars, keeping an eye out on all the feedback our Adventurers have given us, as we hope to make Conquest Wars a true battlefield for glory and honor. At the start of the ""Conquest Wars Pre-Season,"" all territory information will be reset, as well as when the Pre-Season ends on September 1 (Wed), so we ask for your participation and feedback. The following changes will apply for the ""Conquest Wars Pre-Season"":
Certain Conquest Wars rules will be changed. First off, in the spirit of providing a challenge for participating guilds and guild members, we've greatly boosted the rewards. Besides the potential tax benefits, a rather substantially-sized reward awaits those who emerge victorious in battle. Even guilds who fought their hardest and faced defeat will still earn a special reward, as well as one for guilds who liberate a territory.
In addition, we are planning to release the Territorial Decree system, where guilds who have won a Conquest War could enact policies over an occupied territory, which has been tested on the Black Desert Global Labs since this past April.
However, along with improved rewards, we've added AP/DP limits to the Mediah and Valencia Conquest Wars to offer more Adventurers a chance to participate. We've made sure to not set these limits too low, and they will be adjusted depending on the overall growth of our Adventurers over time. While the current type of limits are already fixed, we are also considering a variety of settings such as those that factor in class characteristics to administer selective limits (lower AP, Damage Reduction, but higher Evasion, etc.) in the future. Please note that we are still making additional developments to factor in limits to Accuracy as well.
- You can collect your individual reward from a Conquest War victory/defeat/liberation from the Guild Information (G) window -> Guild Member Status -> Reward button.
- You must retrieve your participation reward after a Conquest War ends in order to participate in the next Conquest War.
- Conquest War rewards will expire within 15 days upon receipt.
- Tax benefits remain the same and separate from individual rewards.
