- Во время осадного боя игроки не имеют возможности атаковать дружественных игроков и их флаги.
- Если в зоне осады гибнет персонаж, не принадлежащий ни к одной из сторон, к нему применяются все обычные (не осадные) штрафы.

NPC – защитники замка

- Увеличены НР и сила физ. атаки NPC King и Knight.

Крепости и осады крепостей
- На каждой территории Адена и в прилегающих землях добавлены крепости. В общей сложности 21 крепость.

О крепостях
- Крепость – это небольшое жилое клановое строение, сходное с Кланхоллом. Она может быть захвачена во время осады.
- В зависимости от размещения крепости бывают большими и маленькими, Приграничными (Border Fortress) и Территориальными (Territory Fortress).
- В каждой местности находится одна или две крепости. Они политически связаны с кланом, владеющим замком на той же территории.

Правила крепостей
- Крепости, как и Кланхоллы, являются местом обитания клана.
- Клан, владеющий крепостью, может зарегистрироваться на осады замков и других крепостей и претендовать на владение ими в случае победы. В таком случае старая крепость переходит к NPC.
- Один клан может одновременно владеть либо замком, либо крепостью и кланхоллом.
- Клан, владеющий крепостью, может налаживать политические связи с кланом, владеющим замком на той же территории.
- Blood Oath клана можно получить, захватив крепость. Blood Oath может поднять репутацию и уровень клана на 9 уровней.
- Если крепость, принадлежащая клану, в осаде, этот клан не может завладеть другой крепостью, даже если захватит её флаг.
- Информацию о мире/информацию о крепостях можно посмотреть на миникарте (Alt+M).

Осада крепости
- Осада крепости длится один час и может происходить каждые 4 часа круглосуточно.
- Если на флагштоке поднят боевой флаг (Flag of Fight), осада крепости окончена.
- Осада крепости начинается через 60 минут после её первого объявления через запись.

Правила осады
- Общие правила осады крепости сходны с правилами осады замка. Участники разделяются на три группы: дружественная сторона, вражеская сторона и нейтралы.
- Весь альянс или клан становится дружественной стороной, те, кто не состоит в альянсах, становятся нейтралами.
- После начала осады крепости защитники обозначаются значком щита над головой, а атакующие – значком меча. Цвета значков щита и меча разные.
- Игроки могут автоматически атаковать врагов и нейтралов.
- Атаковать дружественных игроков нельзя.

Регистрация на осаду
- Процедура регистрации на осаду крепости сходна с таковой на осаду замка. На осаду крепости может зарегистрироваться клан.
- На осаду крепости может записаться клан уровня 4 и выше у соответствующего Suspicious Merchant NPC.
- Клан, первым записавшийся на осаду крепости, должен уплатить взнос. Остальные кланы, записавшиеся на осаду той же крепости, взнос не платят. У них есть 50 минут, чтобы записаться после записи первого клана.
- По прошествии 50 минут после записи первого клана, Suspicious Merchant исчезает, а после обратного отсчёта ещё 10 минут начинается осада.
- Запись на осаду можно отменить у того же Suspicious Merchant.
- Клан, владеющий осаждаемой крепостью, автоматически регистрируется как защитник.

Начало осады
- После начала осады, местность вокруг крепости считается осадной территорией.
- На этой территории зарегистрированные кланы могут устанавливать Осадные штабы (Siege Headquarters).
- Ворота крепости закрываются и выставляются специальные NPC-охранники.
- Если есть клан - защитник крепости, то на уровень NPC-охранников и различные другие функции влияет уровень Fortress Defense. Также появляется Commander NPC, которого должен охранять клан-защитник.

Процесс осады
- Внутри крепости есть от 3-х до 5-ти лагерей (в зависимости от размера крепости), а командный лагерь располагается в центре.
- Если все лагери захвачены через 10 минут после захвата первого лагеря, дверь командного лагеря открывается автоматически.
- Чтобы захватить лагерь, надо убить Commander NPC каждого лагеря или отключить питание в Control Room.
- Клан может использовать Ballista Bombs, чтобы разрушить Ballista внутри крепости, и этим заработать определённое количество репутации клана.
- Если через 10 минут после разрушения первого лагеря игрокам не удаётся разрушить все остальные, то Commander NPC появляется снова, и все лагери приходится разрушать заново.
- Если игроки захватывают все лагери за отведённое время, двери командного лагеря открываются, а внутри него появляются флаги крепости.
- Всего есть три флага крепости. Если игрок, несущий флаг, умирает, то флаг снова появляется, так что всегда есть три флага.
- Флаг подбирается игроком автоматически.
- Флаги крепости дают тем, кто их несёт, два навыка 1) Flag Equipment - снижает скорость игрока (пассивный); 2) Raise Flag– даёт возможность поднять флаг на флагштоке (активный).
- После взятия крепости из замка этой территории высылается Ambassador NPC (посол).
- В Territorial Fortresses появляется только посол из замка с этой территории. В Border Fortress прибывают послы со всех соседствующих территорий.
- Новый владелец крепости может либо присягнуть на верность замку этой территории, либо остаться независимым.
- Клан-владелец Border Fortress может только провозгласить независимость.

Control Room (Комната управления)
- Кроме установки флагов, есть и другой способ захвата крепости – отключить Control Room, которая доступна только в больших крепостях.
- После отключения всех Sub Power Systems, игрок с Access Card может открыть дверь этой комнаты.
- Access Card можно получить у гномов рядом с Control Room.
- Чтобы отключить Sub Power System, дождитесь, пока её здоровье снизится.
- Для того, чтобы отключить Sub Power System нужен Maestro или Warsmith.
- Для активации контроллеров в Control Room нуже пароль из трёх цифр.
- Пароль может вводить любой класс, но найти пароль быстрее смогут Maestro или Warsmith.
- Если определённое количество раз введён неверный пароль, контроллеры временно отключаются.
- После того, как в Control Room отключено всё основное питание, клан завладевает крепостью.

Возможности крепости
- Manager NPC в командном лагере даёт возможность уменьшить потерю опыта (как в Кланхоллах), территориальные телепорты, бафы и Clan Warehouse.
- У Supply Captain NPC можно получить такие предметы, как рубашки и талисманы. Можно также купить умения Knight Unit и Guard Unit за Clan Points.
- Пропорционально времени владения крепостью можно получить Clan Points.
- Если вы присягнули на верность замку, вы можете активировать Fortress Defense Functions и получить большее количество Гвардов (на следующей осаде) и большее количество предметов от Supply Captain.
- Независимые крепости (те, которые не присягнули на верность замку) могут входить в подземную тюрьму (Instanced Zone), где есть тюремный привратник Warder NPC.

Политическая активность
Захватив крепость, клан может присягнуть на верность соответствующей территории или замку через Ambassador NPC (посла).
- В территориальных крепостях появляется только посол из замка соответствующей территории. В приграничных крепостях появляются послы всех соседствующих территорий.
- Клан, владеющий территориальной крепостью, может или присягнуть на верность замку, или оставаться независимым. Клан, владеющий приграничной крепостью, может провозгласить независимость через посла.
- Ambassador NPC исчезает через час. Если за это время присяга на верность не была дана, крепость становится независимой.
- Если клан присягает на верность замку, становятся доступными разные функции.

Неприсоединившаяся крепость (None State Fortress)
- Если клан, владеющий крепостью, не может сделать выбор в пользу контрактного или независимого положения (Contracted State/ Independent State) до исчезновения посла, крепость переходит в неприсоединившееся положение (None State).
- Если крепость неприсоединившаяся, её защитные функции не могут использоваться, но клан может использовать дополнительные функции и репутацию через Manager NPC

Независимое положение (Independent State)
- Если клан, захвативший крепость, решает отказаться от присяги на верность замку, крепость переходит в независимое положение (Independent State).
- Захватив крепость, клан может провозгласить независимость через Ambassador NPC .
- Если крепость в в независимом положении, то клан-владелец замка на той же территории может записаться на осаду этой крепости.
- Независимые крепости не могут улучшать свои защитные свойства перед следующей осадой.
- Такие функции управления крепостью, как контроль обороноспособности, в независимой крепости недоступны.
- Для получения Fortress Items, независимая крепость может участвовать в подземных походах под крепостью - Underground Prison.

Награды
- Захватив крепость, клан получает 100 очков репутации.
- Потеря крепости не приводит к потере очков репутации.
- После захвата крепости уровень репутации клана повышается каждые шесть часов. У Supply Captain NPC можно получить Blood Oath.
- Во время осады крепости у Defender NPC или Commander NPC можно получить Knight’s Epaulette.

New Race: Kamael
A new race, Kamael, has been added. Kamael characters start out on the Isle of Souls, which is located to the west of the Dark Elven Village. A Kamael Tutorial has been added to the game.

Characteristics
• The Kamael are a new dark-attributed race. Because of their dark nature, healing magic is less effective when used on them.
• The Kamael require souls to perform most of their attack skills. They absorb souls automatically while hunting monsters, every time they earn a certain amount of experience.
• The Kamael can also sacrifice some of their own HP or use skills to recharge souls.
• Recharged souls are displayed on the Abnormal Status bar and they last for 10 minutes from the last time a soul was absorbed.
• The Kamael cannot sub any other race’s classes. Conversely, no other races may sub Kamael classes either.
• When a Kamael character reaches level 75 on their first and second subclasses, a hidden third sub-class will become available (Kamael only).
• Kamael subclass info is available from the Kamael Grandmaster NPC in Giran, Aden, and Rune Township.
Class
A Kamael’s class depends on the gender. Choice of classes is different for Kamael.

Male Kamael

• Kamael-exclusive weapons can be converted from weapons that are D-grade or higher, and the weapons can be traded or dropped.
• Not all weapons can be converted; only the following weapons can be converted into Kamael-exclusive weapons.
Two-handed Sword <--> Ancient Sword
One-handed Sword <--> Rapier
Bow <--> Crossbow (Bow-gun)

• When a weapon is converted, the weapon’s Enchant Value, Soul Crystal Option, and elemental attributes remain the same.
• Augmented weapons cannot be converted.
• A converted weapon can be bestowed with Enchant Value, Soul Crystal Option, Augments, or elemental attributes.
• A Kamael-exclusive weapon can be converted back to its original form as long as it has not been augmented.
