◈ Unlimited Conquest War Occupying Guild's Node War Mode Selection

After your guild successfully occupies a 'No Stat Limit' territory in Conquest War, you gain the ability to directly select the Node War mode for the following week.

This selection will not have any gear score restrictions, making it accessible to a wider range of players.

Once you become the occupying guild, you can announce the Node War mode for the upcoming week to the Black Desert world. This announcement lasts for approximately 2 hours.

Registration Results	Participation is confirmed 15 10 minutes before war begins on war day, and once confirmed, a message displaying the result will appear. ※ The assigned territory for your guild can also be checked under Menu - War - Node War.
※ Guild members can register in the same manner as before by pressing "Yes/No" under the Participate column in the Guild - Guild Member Status window. Once the guild has applied for the Node War, guild members can pre-register for the Node War in the server associated with the selected territory. However, after all participating guilds are decided (10min before the Node War starts), guild members cannot change their participation status. ※ If a guild cancels their Node War application, the participation status of all members will be reset to "No".

Registration Results

Participation is confirmed 10 minutes before war begins on war day, and once confirmed, a message displaying the result will appear.
- The assigned territory for your guild can also be checked under Menu - War - Node War.

Moving Once Node War Starts

When the Node War begins, Adventurers affiliated with a Guild participating in the Node War will be randomly teleported to one of the resurrection points within the Combat Zone of the Node War Territory.
- Adventurers from guilds not participating in the Node War will not be moved.

※ After a Node War starts, the same Focus Node War Participation System will apply.
- In servers where a Node War is ongoing, all Adventurers who are not participating in the Node War will have their DP set to 0.
- Non-participants from Guilds that have joined the Node War will be forcibly moved to the nearest town if they approach the area where the Node War is taking place.

■ 2-2. Node War Rules

A set number of forts will be activated at random locations based on the number of guilds who have applied to participate in the Node War within that territory.

Each activated fort will have a set "end time," and the guild occupying a fort at the end of this duration will become its owner.

The entire territory now serves as the stage to Node Wars. The number of activated forts depends on the number of participating guilds.

Assemble!

The "Assemble!" feature for Node War will now automatically display in the top of the screen on the Node War server 10 minutes before the war starts.
- It can be used via Menu - Function.
- Pressing the "Assemble!" icon will move each participating guild to predetermined locations in the territory's towns.

※ The "Assemble!" feature will be displayed only when connected to the participating Node War server.

- Displayed 10 minutes before the start if connected to the Node War server

Resurrection

Improved the resurrection process during Node War so that a dead mount will also be resurrected alongside the character.
During Node War, when your character dies, you can choose to resurrect at predetermined locations in the towns of each territory.
- Balenos: Velia, Western Guard Camp, Olvia
- Calpheon: Calpheon City, Keplan, Behr
- Valencia: Valencia City, Ancado Inner Harbor, Arehaza

※ The following rules apply to the resurrection cooldown during Node War:
The default resurrection cooldown is 10 seconds, which can increase up to a maximum of 30 seconds.
This cooldown grows by 1 second each minute the Node War progresses, and by an additional 1 second for each death.

Neutral Fort Activation & Participating Guilds

The number of participating guilds in a Node War will determine the number of activated neutral forts at the beginning of the war.
- Random forts will be activated each war day from a selection of nodes within each territory.
  - If there is only one guild participating within the Node War territory, victory is immediately declared without occupying a fort during the war.

For example,
When 3 guilds are confirmed to participate in the Balenos territory Node War, 1 node fort will be activated.
When 4 guilds are confirmed to participate in the Balenos territory Node War, 2 node forts will be activated.
When 5 guilds are confirmed to participate in the Balenos territory Node War, 2 node forts will be activated.
When 6 guilds are confirmed to participate in the Balenos territory Node War, 3 node forts will be activated.
For each territory, the number of guilds confirmed to participate can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of more than 30, and accordingly, the number of forts activated can range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 15.

Types of Node Forts & End Times

The tiers of activated node forts are as follows, with their "end times" set randomly.
- The higher the tier, the closer the node's location to the territory's center, as well as with greater rewards.
- Once the end time of a fort expires, the last guild to have held occupancy will be deemed the final occupying guild.

Node Fort Tier	End Times
Tier 3	▼ Randomly selected between 10 - 60 min + ▼ Unknown ("?") end times (randomly set between 20 - 60 min)
Tier 4
Tier 5

Node War Status Widget

Once the Node War begins, you can check the number of activated nodes and their end times through the World Map.
- The node status widget will display whether a node in the territory is neutral/occupied/liberated/exited, as well as their respective end times calculated in minutes.
  - The node status widget is available to all adventurers logged into a server with Node Wars ongoing.

World Map

Through the Node Status widget, you can check the durability of forts.
- You can view the durability of each node fort with the fort icon within the widget.
- The border around the fort icon in the widget indicates the remaining time until the end of the fort. Detailed info can be found on the World Map.

Node War Temporary Occupation: Fort Destruction

Once the Node War begins, attacking a neutral fort until its durability is depleted will grant temporary occupation to the aggressor guild.
- During a Node War, when a Fort is temporarily occupied, the victorious adventurer's Family name will be displayed at the top of the screen.
- Forts occupied by your guild will be highlighted in blue on the world map.
- All participating guilds can check occupied nodes and occupying guilds via the node status widget.
- If another guild attacks an occupied fort and depletes its durability, the new guild will temporarily occupy the fort.

※ Temporarily occupied forts cannot be dismantled.

Benefits from Occupying Nodes

Doubled Node Investment Benefits (Across Entire Territory)

When occupied, Node Investment Benefits for the entire Territory to which the Node belongs to will be doubled for one week. (For example, if you occupy a Tier 3 Fort in a Calpheon territory Node War, the Node Investment Benefits for the Calpheon region will be doubled for one week.)

If you then participate in a Node War and reoccupy a Node within the same Territory, the period of doubled Node Investment Benefits will be reset. The remaining time of double Node Investment Benefits can be checked on the right side of the Guild window under Occupation Information.

Example

When occupying the Pilgrim's Sanctum: Obedience Node Fort in Valencia, all Node Investment Benefits in Valencia are doubled, increasing the Item Drop Rate for all Monster Zones within Valencia that receive Node Investment Benefits.

What are Node Investment Benefits?
Increased Item Drop Rate +0.5% per Node Investment Level when defeating certain monsters.
- For example, if the Node Level of Gyfin Rhasia Temple is 20, the Item Drop Rate for Monsters at Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Upper/Underground) will be increased by +10%.
- If doubled due to Node occupation, the Item Drop Rate for Monsters at Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Upper/Underground) will be increased by +20%.

4. Important Things to Know

We have explored the ways to participate in Node War and the rewards and benefits that await you. Now, let's delve into the specific rules that govern Node War.

While it is not necessary to know every detail to excel in Node War, understanding these rules can greatly assist in preparing and strategizing for the battles to come.

For adventurers who prefer to review only the rules of Node War, we have compiled them for your convenience.

1. Common Rules for Node/Conquest Wars

1	When victorious in a Node/Conquest War and occupying a node, the accumulated taxes are automatically collected by the occupying guild.
2	If a fort/command post/field HQ is destroyed during the Node/Conquest War, you are no longer considered as participants and cannot attack participating guilds.
3	During the Node/Conquest War, guild wars are restricted on the server, and attacks can only be carried out according to the rules of Node/Conquest War.
4	During the Node/Conquest War, there are no penalties for death in PvP encounters between participating guilds.
5	During the Node/Conquest War, even when wearing camouflage outfits (Treant Camouflage, Desert Camouflage), your identity is exposed.
6	From 1 hour before the start of the Node War (2 hours for the Conquest War) until its completion, all participating guilds are unable to recruit new members.

2. Node War Rules

1	Lord’s guild can participate in the Node war up to 6 times a week. Each guild has one weekly opportunity to participate in the Node War, with the chance to participate again after meeting the minimum requirement for opportunity return. The minimum requirement is achieved when the total kill/death count is 100 or more for the adventurer"s guild during the Node War. Failure to meet this requirement will result in no opportunity return. (Note: Node War opportunities are reset every Saturday at 24:00 and a new opportunity is granted.)
2	Node Wars are held in the following regions: Balenos, Calpheon, and Valencia. Each region has its own designated servers for the wars.
3	When the war ends, all guilds' annexes are demolished.
4	Guilds should consider restrictions on the number of participants and their stats when choosing Territory to participate in.
5	Once the territory for the Node War is allocated, you can check the information of the guild participating in that territory via the Node War menu.
6	In Occupation Node War, should a neutral fort stand unoccupied at the end of the Node War, the node of that fort will be liberated.
7	Victorious guilds will acquire the taxes accumulated from the occupied node and can obtain the personal victory reward. (Note: The personal reward can only be obtained if the minimum requirement for the opportunity return is met.)
8	Two exclusive guild skills, Breath of Life and Blessing of Battle can be activated by consuming Spirit of Battle while temporarily occupying a fort, and their effects are only applied in the vicinity of the temporarily occupied fort.

Node Wars offer various benefits and rewards, but it' s also an opportunity to experience the thrill of guild-scale group PvP and build strong bonds with guild members.

Even if your gear may not be exceptional, you can participate in the appropriate tier of Node Wars and engage in intense battles. And with an arsenal of siege weapons at your disposal, there is ample opportunity to shine.

We look forward to witnessing your splendid performance on the Node Wars battlefield!
