The War of Conversion

The strategic battle for land and resources has begun. Members of the Asharr and Kujix who believe their way is the right way will do whatever they can to convert their enemies to join them. The neutral cities of the world, not protected by the gods, are at the mercy of the ongoing battles between the two organizations.  The gods agreed that they would fight each other only in the world of Alganon, and only within their domains or through the summoning of their followers.
The latest chapter in the War of Conversion begins today! 

Towers PvP

Throughout the world various towers have been placed. Each of these towers represents a control point for its zone, and each zone has 3 towers. If a single faction controls all three towers in a single zone, they "control the zone" and everybody in the zone receives a buff to their attack power, spellpower, experience gain and renown gain. Once a tower is captured, it cannot be retaken for 1 hour.  Towers are defended by a few NPCs who will alert all friendly players in the zone that they are being attacked.  To keep the buff, rally in defense of your towers!

Battlefield Promotion

Whenever a player of experience level 10-49 enters a PvP area and is flagged for PvP they will receive a Battlefield Promotion to level 50.  This temporary promotion increases the player's attributes to that of a level 50 and increases all known spells to their level 50 equivalent.  Also if the player is using Renown PvP gear it will scale to level 50 with the player.   Players of all levels are encouraged to participate in the Tower PvP system!

The Renown System

Renown is the leveling system for players who engage in PvP. Similar to the way experience points work, you'll gain Renown Points (RP) for engaging in PvP activities.  As you level up your Renown you'll gain access to increasingly powerful PvP items.  The Renown Level cap for the Towers patch is 10, so all first tier PvP armor and items are now available for unlocking!

PvP Armor

The first set of PvP armor is available and can be purchased from the PvP vendors in the new military quarter of each main city. These armor sets all are itemized with Fortitude, a damage mitigation stat unique to PvP. Stacking Fortitude will give you a defensive advantage against other players. Additionally, Renown armor sets do not take Battle Durability loss and never need to be repaired to engage in PvP. Also, this armor scales with players that receive Battlefield Promotion. For characters under level 50 this is a huge advantage.

PvP Studies

The study system receives its first major expansion in the Towers patch, with about 50 new studies being added for PvP.  Players will be able to customize their characters according to the type of PvP they most like to play.  These studies build on one another and the final studies in each chain are powerful and difficult to attain.  The new PvP studies added in this patch together with those coming in the next one form a fully integrated PvP research system unique to any fantasy MMO!
