Valley of Death Tournament

The Valley of Death Tournament (VoD) is a 3 nation, non-loot, PvP event that occurs 5 times a day. It's highly recommended for new players and anyone who wants instant, low-risk battleground style PvP. Players capture and defend flags, kill other players, and complete objectives to earn points in the tournament. For times, check the Events tab under the minimap. The tournament has 13 possible modes. Before each tournament, players vote on two mode options. A non-loot siege on the world map follows every tournament.

There are 2 tournament maps: A snowy map with ruins, and a more Mediterranean style map.

Registering for the Tournament

Tournament registration begins 5 minutes before the tournament starts. You must be at least level 15 to join. Click the Register button when it appears on your screen. When the event begins, you will be teleported to the tournament spawn area. You may see your registration spot change as players join and leave the queue before the event begins. Orange leaf characters have priority in the queue. If you are on a level 100, your spot in the queue will drop as those players are placed ahead of you.

Tournaments can have up to 25 people per nation.

Tournament party sizes are determined by the nation with the 2nd most people registered. For example, if the registration is:

• Ismir: 19
• Midlander: 16
• Sangmar: 14

Then the tournament will begin with 3 teams of 16 participants because that is the second highest registration number. Ismir will begin the tournament with 16 in the fight and 3 in queue. Midland will begin with 16 in the event and 0 in queue, and Sangmar will begin with 14 in the event and 0 in queue. The next 2 Sangmar who register will get in without waiting in queue.

The queue will allow in 1 person from each nation at the same time as the queue permits.

Note : It is not possible to see how many enemies have registered for the tournament before it begins.
