Nation Points

Players earn Nation Points for every PvP kill they participate in, as a proportion of total damage dealt. To see your current nation points, press (F2) and click on My Profile. Nation points are used to level up guilds. Guild members donate their nation points to the guild at a Castle keeper or at their nation's commander in the capital city.

A full solo kill on a player will give 500 nation points. Killing the same player repeatedly will give fewer points with each kill. Nation points are given for blocked damage when the player they were blocking dies. A player who is unconscious and is then revived does not award NP, only a player who dies and resapawns gives nation points.

When you die in PvP, you lose up to 500 nation points. If you do not have any nation points on you, the enemy will still be rewarded nation points in most circumstances. Each time you die and respawn, any nation points you had over 500 become "banked" nation points, which means they cannot be lost, but have not yet been turned in to the NPC.

Nation Points are not earned or lost in the Valley of Death Tournament.

Carrying 2,000 Nation Points on you gives a buff called "Fighter" which gives a 5 second faster respawn timer. This buff lasts as long as the 2,000 point threshold is met.

How Nation Points Become Guild Points

Nation Points can be donated to guilds (banked) after PvP engagements at the Nation Commander in the capital city or at a Castle Keeper NPC at a guild province. The Nation Points then become Guild Points which contribute to the guild's level. If you are not in a guild, you carry your Nation Points with you at all times.

Guild Points are essentially XP for guilds. The higher level the guild is, the better defenses it can build at guild provinces and the more members it can have. Leveling up a guild is critical to being able to compete for and hold a guild province.

Note: Nation Points are account bound, not character bound. You can earn Nation Points on one character and turn them in on another character. This is especially useful if you have characters who are in several different guilds or alt characters whom you do not want to donate points on.
