Hidden Gorge
During a Hidden Gorge campaign, teams vie for control of supplies delivered by ceruleum engines.
Overview
Abandoning Matches
Players who abandon a Rival Wings 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.
Entry Requirements
Role Requirements: None
- Players can freely change jobs or classes at their team's landing.
- As with the three main cities, the recast time of skills will not be reset when changing classes or jobs. One to four players
Number of Participants: 1 to 4
- Undersized parties not allowed.
Level Requirement: Job level 30
- Player level and attributes are ignored during PvP and replaced with PvP-specific values.
Players can queue to enter Rival Wings campaigns alone, or in a party of up to four players. Please note there are no role restrictions when queuing as a party.
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, PvP Team, 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 Rival Wings campaigns. However, players taking damage while mounted will be inflicted with the Limp status effect.
- Flying mounts cannot be used to fly during Rival Wings 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 Rival Wings campaigns. Please note, however, casting will be interrupted by attacks.
