Adventurers, the first Global Conquest War of 2022 is coming to the Europe servers!

If you are a guild that wants the glory of representing Europe, then prove your worth in the Calpheon Conquest War on January 29!

[h3]Global Conquest War Schedule[/h3]

* The Conquest War that will select the guilds representing each region will be on each region’s live server. However, the Global Conquest War’s Rounds 1 – 3 will be on a separate event server.
* The guilds that participate in Round 1 will not participate in Round 2. (Representing guilds will decide which guilds participate in which rounds.)

[h3]How Are Representative Guilds Selected?[/h3]

During the Conquest War on January 29 (Sat), three guilds will be selected by the following criteria to represent Europe in the EU x RU Global Conquest War.


* If fewer than three guilds participate in the Calpheon territory’s Conquest War, additional guilds will be selected based on the results of the Valencia territory’s Conquest War results.

* Guild alliances may also participate, but only 100 members from the alliance will be eligible to join the upcoming Global Conquest War. As such, the alliance leader will be asked to send the list of the participating guild members before February 9. These 100 guild members will be placed into one guild in the event server, and the name of the guild will be the name of the guild alliance.

[h3]Liberation of Calpheon Territory[/h3]
To ensure guilds all have a fair chance, the Calpheon territory’s status will be changed to “liberated” during the maintenance on January 26 (Wed). Please keep this in mind if you plan on participating in the Conquest War on January 22.

- When the Calpheon territory is liberated, the accumulated taxes of the Calpheon territory will be retained and all forts, command posts, and annexes constructed in the territory will be removed.

[h3]Characters of Representative Guilds Are Copied?
[/h3]
For the upcoming Global Conquest War, the character data of the representative guilds will be copied to an event server.

* The character data that will be copied during the maintenance on February 9 will be based on the gear that is currently equipped on the character and the mount that is currently taken out.
* Items in your inventory and storage will not be copied. Please note that we will not provide any further assistance if the incorrect items/mount are copied due to negligence.
* The character data of guild members who joined after the maintenance on February 9 will not be copied.
* Adventurers who participate in the Conquest War on January 29 (Sat) as War Heroes will not have their character data copied.

The guilds selected as representatives and more information about the Global Conquest War format will be announced in a future announcement.
