🏴‍☠️ WOE Event

Guild Royale Feature

Guild Royale is XileRO's War of Emperium (WoE) system: 30 castles across 6 regions, fought over on a schedule, with rewards and a season-long leaderboard for the guilds (and players) who show up and hold ground.

WoE schedule

WoE runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, twice a day: one session for Asian prime time and one for European evenings. Times are server time (UTC), which is the clock shown in-game.

Each session ends at a random moment between 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the hour (see the rules below), so be in position early.

WoE kill & capture feed

During WoE, every castle kill and capture pops up as an announcement for everyone online:

• [WoE] Player [Toxic] from guild [Gods] has killed [Test2]
• [WoE] Player [Toxic] from guild [Gods] has captured [Kriemhild] - first break of the session!

The feed is the #woe channel, which you join automatically. Guild alliances formed or ended are announced there too. To hide it, open @settings (or talk to the Command Setter in moc_para01) and turn off WoE Kill & Capture Feed. It stays off across logins, and you can turn it back on there at any time. @channel leave #woe also hides it, but only until you log out.

Breaking the Emperium

Any guild can attack the Emperium — your guild doesn't need the Official Guild Approval skill. You still have to be in a guild to enter a castle.

The castle's flags — inside the castle, at its gates and in town (Yuno and the other cities) — show the holder's emblem and change to the winner's emblem the moment the Emperium breaks. A castle nobody holds shows no emblem. Click a flag for who rules the castle, when it was captured and how often it was defended.

Guild skills in castles

Each guild skill has its own cooldown — using one never blocks another, and relogging doesn't reset them.

Charge Shout is an attacker's tool: it doesn't work in a castle your guild owns, so once you capture a castle your flag there stops working. The flag has 15,000 HP — destroy it to cut off the enemy's reinforcements.

Emergency Call works anywhere except maps that block warping (like jail or instances). The rest only work on guild-war maps.

Guild auras

Guild members standing in a 5x5 area around the Guild Master get a stat bonus from each aura skill the guild has learned: +2 per skill level, up to +10 at level 5. Auras work on every map, in and out of WoE, but not on the Guild Master themselves.

Rewards

WoE Victory Coin & WoE Participation Coin

When a WoE session ends, every player who personally entered at least one active castle that session gets one coin:

It's one coin per session, however many castles you visit. If you're too heavy to carry it, it's mailed to you instead. Both coins are account-bound and spent at the WoE Exchange.

WoE Exchange

Pick "Victory Exchange" or "Participation Exchange", then a category: Consumables & Buffs (stat/buff consumables), Clone Pet Eggs (every clone pet egg) or Castle Gear (Deviling Wings). Participation Coin buys the same catalog at a markup, so a loss still leaves you with something to spend. The castle Tokens are not sold here — see Guild Leader Castle Rewards below. Full price list on the WoE Exchange page.

Guild Leader Castle Rewards

A free, once-per-day claim available only to a guild's leader — always visible as the first entry on the WoE Exchange menu, even before your guild has ever held a castle. The more castles your guild currently holds — and the more each castle's economy has been invested — the more loot draws you roll. Each draw has a 12.5% chance at a Yggdrasilberry Box, 12.5% at an Alchemist Box, and 1% at each of eight exclusive costumes (see the WoE Exchange page); the rest of the draws come up empty. It resets daily and does not bank — skip a day and that day's draws are gone, not carried forward. If a roll doesn't fit in your inventory, it's mailed to your RODex instead of lost.

Season Points

Every player who attends a WoE castle earns season points, tracked all month and never lost — there's no separate per-castle leaderboard anymore, just one running season total per player.

Castle points only count for castles you personally entered that session.

WoE Season Rewards

Your season points unlock tiers as you cross their thresholds — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Emerald Banner — claimed here at any time, and never reset mid-season even if you fall behind later. When the season rolls over on the 1st of the month, your final tier also mails you a bonus coin stipend, and the top 10 players are locked into that season's history.

The month-end bonus is 1 Victory Coin for each tier your points reached.

War Chronicle Herald

Shows the current season's top 10 players and your own rank even if you're outside it, plus last season's top 3 champions — a quick read-only check-in, no claiming here.

Season length is a calendar month (points reset to 0 for the new month; history is kept, not deleted).

Rules

Season One Rules

For Season One, the following rules apply, if these rules are broken the guild leader will take punishment such as bans, mutes or jailtimes:

• Pre-buff are only allowed by the attacked on the castle entrace (before you entercastle)
  • Moving to a castle entrance map will debuff, you will need to buff with guild.
  • You are allowed to use alt accounts and duals to do buffs on the castle entrance. (under review)
• Castle Hostage is allowed
  • Hostage attempts are when a guild purposeful does not take emperium to gain win.
  • WoE has no fixed end, so waiting for the last second to capture doesn't work. From 5 minutes before the scheduled end, each minute has a chance to be the last one. If it is, WoE ends at a random second inside that minute. An announcement at the start of every minute shows its chance:
    • 5 minutes before the scheduled end: 2%
    • 4 minutes before: 4%
    • 3 minutes before: 6%
    • 2 minutes before: 8%
    • 1 minute before: 10%
    • The scheduled end minute itself: 0% (WoE always runs past it)
    • 1 minute after: 30%
    • 2 minutes after: 50%
    • 3 minutes after: 70%
    • 4 minutes after: 90%
    • 5 minutes after: 100% (WoE always ends before 6 minutes past)
• Multiple Guilds is not allowed
  • Guilds that work together to capture or defence of a castle.
• Guild Leader must attend WOE, with the guild having 3+ members online.
• Super novice are allowed, normal novice classes are not.
• Players who are not part of a guild cannot join WOE
• Dual Accounts are not allowed to participate in WOE
  • We want to make it fair and prevent dual accounts with macro.

Banned in castles

All 30 castles share the same bans, whatever the region.

• Skills (the standard rAthena list): Teleport, Warp Portal, Back Slide, Snatch, Ice Wall, Assumptio, Basilica, Sheltering Bliss, Plant Cultivation, Shadow Slash, Greed, Dimension Door, and the marriage/family summons (I Miss You, Call Parent, Call Baby).
• Items and cards: Assumptio and Greed scrolls, Boarding Halter (box and reins), Bombring Box, Berzebub Card, Dark Illusion Card.
• Allowed: Snap / Body Relocation, Taekwon Run, Flying Side Kick, High Jump, Shadow Jump, Play Dead, Loki's Veil, Marionette Control, and Spirit of the Soul Linker all work in every castle.

These rules are subject to change in future seasons to ensure a balanced and fair competition environment.
