Roadmap to the Relic War

There are many RvR systems and mechanics on Phoenix, and I feel it is important if somehow we are able to connect them all together. Try to create a sort of roadmap for RvR here on Phoenix. Create different paths for players that all lead to the Relic War. A beginning, middle, and end to the struggle.

Each of these paths lead into the Relic War.

Path 1: Realm tasks

Good RvR starting point for players

Low RR players get into RvR quickly and are able to earn a few Realm Ranks in a short amount of time.

Make RvR alliances and friends

Path 2: Keeps


[list=]Unlock Darkness Falls, which will help players level faster and farm necessary items for crafting and templating.[/list]

Receive feathers, gold, wood etc.. for taking keeps. These resources would be in the chests caravans carry to keeps.

Control territory and routes in the Frontiers.

Path 3: Caravans

Downgrading enemy keeps by killing caravans.

Caravans would carry chests full of resources like feathers, gold, potions, wood, and bounty points.

Killable by small groups.

Caravans that are killed and fail to reach their keep would be lootable by players.

Players can be like Robin Hood hunting down these caravans for the benefit of their realm.

These paths all lead to the Relic War.

Relic War

Holding an enemy relic awards your realm either 15% feather and bounty points or 15% xp and gold bonuses.

Earn Relic Points for holding enemy relics.

Think of it like a relic vault that keeps filling up as you hold enemy relics.

Once one realm amasses a certain total of Relic points, they are declared the Relic War winner.

There could be an underdog bonus for capturing and holding relics if one realm is super far behind in terms of total relic points.

Winning the Realm War grants realm unique cosmetics, dyes, titles, a special realmwide event, an rp bonus, and a statue in their Capital City.

Relic points reset one week after a realm wins
