The Watch Towers Block Battle!

There are 3 Watch Towers in Leopold and these watch towers exhumes negative effects onto Elters.

The negative effects are:

• 10% decrease in Max HP and MP
• 10% decrease in Physical and Magical Defence
• 10% decrease in Physical and Magical Attack

To negate the effects above, that is the tricky part! Because to do so, your Nation will need to prevail in the Watch Tower Block Battle. In this battle, all Nations are enemies. YES! Even your Allies will be vying with you for it.

Here is how to join in the Watch Tower Block Battle.

• The battle happens in a 18 hour interval
• The battle lasts for a maximum of 1 hour
• This battle happens only in Leopold

During the battle, the 3 Watch Towers will randomly spawn various special relics.

Relics are produced every 3 minutes at each of the watch towers. Players can acquire the relic by clicking on it on the watch tower. Each relic will have an effect on the player carrying it. Once a player acquires a Relic, it is advised that the Nation's Citizen protect him as he will need to carry it and place the Relic into the Altar of Blocks to score points.

This Altar of Blocks can be found at the Skadi's Eye area. There are 6 Altars in total and players may select either one to place the relic inside. Altar that has just been placed a relic cannot be place another for the next 5mins. There will be a "Forbidden Altar light" shown. Opposing Nation can seek to rob you of the relic you are carrying by killing you.

The battle is over when 1 Nation achieves 100 points or when the 1 Hour time limit is over. There will be rewards given to the Victorious Nation and its Ally in addition to negated the debuffs.
4 kinds of rewards will be given according to the acquired points.

Reward will include Hestia Island which will be patched in, in the future as well. Upon "defeat", your Nation receives debuff in the form of 10% reduction in Physical Attack & Defense; Magical Attack & Defense and HP & MP.
