Patch 4.15 will see the introduction of '''Astragalos campaigns''', large-scale war games incorporating powerful goblin-made machina.
==Instances==

==Unlock==
'''[[Hidden Gorge]]''' - During a Hidden Gorge campaign, teams vie for control of supplies delivered by ceruleum engines.
Complete the quest [[Earning Your Wings]]
*Level requirement: Disciple of War or Magic level 30
*Starting NPC: [[Softknox]] in [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (X:5.7 Y:5.4)
*Prerequisite quests: Players must first complete either the quests [[A Pup No Longer (Maelstrom)]], [[A Pup No Longer (Twin Adder)]], or [[A Pup No Longer (Immortal Flames)]]
 
==Overview==
The rules for Astragalos campaigns are as follows:
 
*Level Requirement: Job level 30
*Time Limit: 20 minutes
 
===Participating in Campaigns===
Players can queue to enter Astragalos campaigns alone, or in a party of up to four players. There are no role restrictions when queueing as a party.
 
===Role Requirements===
When participating in Astragalos campaigns, there are no role requirements or restrictions for parties. Moreover, players can freely change jobs at their team's landing.
* The recast time of skills will not be reset when changing jobs.
 
===Preparing for Battle===
Rival Wings participants will be placed on one of two teams: the Falcons or the Ravens. Players will then begin the match at their teams' respective landing points. Matches will begin after a 90-second countdown.
 
===Chat===
The Say, Party, Alliance, Yell, Shout, Free Company, Linkshell, and Novice Network chat channels can be used during Rival Wings.
* Say, Yell, and Shout can only be used with players on the same team.
 
===Retaliation===
Incapacitated players will be returned to their landing point, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat after a short delay. Furthermore, players will be invulnerable so long as they remain at their landing point. This effect will be lost upon returning to the battlefield.
 
===Mounts===
Players are free to use mounts during Astragalos campaigns. However, players taking damage while mounted will be inflicted with the Limp status effect.
* Flying mounts cannot be used to fly during Astragalos campaigns. Furthermore, two-person mounts cannot be ridden.
 
===Return===
Using Return will teleport players back to their landing point. Moreover, this action has no recast time during Astragalos campaigns. Please note, however, casting will be interrupted by attacks.
 
===Abandoning Matches===
Players who abandon an Astragalos campaign (not including players who join a match in progress or are vote kicked) will receive a penalty. Players so penalized will be unable to register for PvP duties for 30 minutes. Players inactive for over a period of two minutes will automatically be removed from play.
 
==Basic Rules and Objectives==
The first team to destroy the core located on the opponent's base will be declared the winner. In the event neither team destroys a core, victory will be decided based on each team's remaining number of towers, tower HP, and core HP, in that order.
* In the event these values are the same for both teams, the match will end in a draw.
 
===Cores===
Each team has a core located at its base, and the chief objective is to destroy the enemy's core. The core is protected by a magitek field eminating from two towers. As such, before you can strike at the core, you must first destroy the towers and deactivate the magitek field.
 
[[File:rival wings2.png]]
 
===Towers===
Each team has two towers that serve to protect their core. Each tower, meanwhile, is enveloped in a magitek field that mitigates damage taken by team members and restores their HP. Players can take advantage of this protection when hard pressed by the opposing team.
 
[[File:rival wings4.png]]
 
===Display of Core and Tower HP===
A unique UI is used to display the HP of cores and towers. Because each team's core cannot be damaged until their towers are destroyed, only the HP of towers will be displayed at the start of a match. Once the core is exposed, however, its HP will also be displayed.
 
[[File:rival wings6.png]]
 
[[File:rival wings7.png]]
 
==Machina==
Players can deploy three types of powerful machina in battle. Before they can be deployed, however, players must obtain Ceruleum (CE). Ceruleum stores can be built up by collecting tanks in the field or defeating enemy team members and mammets up to a maximum of 100 units.

!Amount
|-
|Found on the field || 10 units
|-
|Defeating enemy mammets || 10 units
|-
|Granted by power generators || 1 unit per 3 seconds
|-
|}
 
Hangar terminals are located near the starting area for each team, from which machina can be deployed.
 
[[File:rival wings8.png]]
 
Accessing a terminal will display a unique UI containing information on available machina.
 
[[File:rival wings9.png]]
 
===Machina Restrictions===
Only one machina may be operated per party at any given time, regardless of type. In the case of the Opressor, however, the limit is two per team. Two Brute Justices can be deployed by each team per match, one becoming available for each tower you lose.
 
* After acquiring the required ceruleum, Cruise Chaser and Oppressor can be deployed at any time.
 
===Resource Management===
When deploying a machina, its HP will be displayed in place of the player. Its HP cannot be restored by curative actions of teammates, nor will it restore automatically when out of combat. Machina actions will expend EP, a resource that can only be restored by using the Ceruleum Refill action. Be advised that use of this action will deplete your party's ceruleum stores.

==Mammets==
Mammets are clockwork soldiers programmed to seek out and destroy towers and cores. They emerge from their own core at regular intervals before striking out on a set route, and will remain in battle for a set duration. Upon detecting an enemy mammet, they will engage and attack until either side is destroyed. Mammets that arrive at an enemy tower or core will perform a powerful self-sacrificing attack. That is the extent of their programming; mammets will not harm adventurers.
 
===Wind-up Viking===
These mammets boast high HP and specialize in fighting at close quarters.
 
[[File:rival wings18.png]]
===Wind-up Magus===
These mammets specialize in long range combat with magic-based attacks.
 
[[File:rival wings20.png]]
===Gaining Ceruleum from Mammets===
Parties can gain up to ten units of Ceruleum upon defeating an enemy mammet. These units will be distributed to all parties that engage with the mammet based on the amount of damage inflicted. Ceruleum cannot be gained from damage inflicted by other mammets.
 
==Power Generators==
[[File:rival wings22.png]]
 
A power generator is located at the center of the map. Combatants from either team can take control of the generator by interacting with it. While the generator is under a team's control, the stores of ceruleum for all of its alliances will gradually replenish.
 
==Soaring==
When you defeat an enemy team member, your party receives the Soaring enhancing effect. This effect can stack up to ten times, increasing all party members' damage dealt and HP restored via healing magic, while also reducing damage taken. However, each time a party member is KO'd, half the party's current number of stacks will be lost and awarded to the party of the opposing team.

[[File:rival wings26.png]]
 
==Miscellaneous==
Rival Wings makes use of a unique UI to display match information such as the deployment of machina by allies or enemy players and the units of ceruleum stored by your party. This UI also displays the number of stacks of Soaring accumulated by your party.
