PvP Events

Command: .pvp

Queue

How it works

Type .pvp (or .lfg > PvP) to open the PvP Events page. You need level 76 or higher.
Press Join PvP to queue for every enabled event at once, or pick the events you want (several are allowed - the first one to fill takes you).
A party leader can queue the whole party for the team events; party members cannot queue on their own.
When a match is found, a popup asks you to Accept. You have 30s - if you do not answer in time you are removed from the match.
You are teleported to a private arena, a countdown runs, then the fight starts. When it ends you are sent back.

What you keep and lose

You cannot queue while in a dungeon, in the Olympiad, inside another event or registered in a tournament.
Escape scrolls, .soe and unstuck are disabled while a match is running - you cannot leave a match early.
Queued players get a reminder every 1m. Leave the queue any time from the same page.

Tips

Matches are checked every 30s. An event starts once its minimum is reached and the longest waiter has waited: 0s with a full lobby, 2m with the optimal count, otherwise 5m.
TvT: 2-27 players (optimal 4).
Deathmatch: 2-18 players (optimal 4).
Last Man Standing: 2-20 players (optimal 4).
Domination: 4-27 players (optimal 4).
Juggernaut: 3-18 players (optimal 4).
Want to watch instead? The "Live now" list on the PvP page has a Watch button (level 80+, up to 5 watchers per event).

Events

How it works

Team vs Team - two teams (three from 18 players), up to 9 per team. First team to 20 kills wins, or the leader when 5m runs out. You respawn after 5s with 3s of protection.
Deathmatch - free for all. First to 15 kills wins, or the leader after 4m. You respawn after 5s with 3s of protection.
Last Man Standing - free for all with NO respawn. The last player alive wins; if 5m runs out, the survivor with the most kills wins.
Domination - teams fight over 3 control points (North, Center, South). Stand near a point (200 range) for 10s to capture it. A held point gives your team 1 score every 1s, each kill 5. First team to 1000 wins, or the leader after 10m.
Juggernaut - one random player is the empowered Juggernaut, everyone else hunts them. Whoever kills the Juggernaut takes the role. The Juggernaut wins with 10 kills; when 5m runs out, the most kills wins.
Arena 1v1 / 2v2 / 3v3 - elimination. Dead players are out; the last team standing wins. If 2m runs out it is a draw.

Tips

Fights start after a 30s countdown (Arena: 15s).
Healers get credit too: healing a player who then scores a kill within 10s counts as a kill assist.

Rewards

How it works

Every kill in an event pays the killer a kill reward, and the winner (or winning team) gets a win reward. Rewards go straight to you.
TvT - kill 1K adena; win 5K adena, 10K XP, 5K SP.
Deathmatch - kill 500 adena; win 3K adena, 5K XP.
Last Man Standing - kill 1K adena; win 10K adena, 20K XP.
Domination - kill 500 adena; win 5K adena, 15K XP.
Juggernaut - killing the Juggernaut 2K adena; other kills 300 adena; win 8K adena, 15K XP.
Arena 1v1 - kill 500 adena; win 10K adena.
Arena 2v2 - kill 300 adena; win 6K adena.
Arena 3v3 - kill 200 adena; win 4K adena.

What you keep and lose

Every finished event also changes your PvP rating (an Elo-style score: it starts at 1000, wins raise it, losses lower it, and beating stronger opponents is worth more). See it with .score.
A kill assist gives the healer +1 rating.

Tips

Losers keep the kill rewards they earned, but only the winner gets the win reward.

Open PvP

How it works

Outside events, when a player kills you, you drop 1.0% of the adena you carry on the ground. The killer has loot protection on it for a short time.
You get a message with the amount, and the killer is told what you dropped.
The drop does not happen in the Olympiad, duels, PvP events, arenas or PvP zones, the PvP Farm Zone, and not when you kill yourself or die to a summon.

What you keep and lose

Only the adena in your inventory can drop - adena in your warehouse or bank is safe.
If a spree bounty is paid for your death, the normal drop is skipped so you are only charged once (see .hunt).

Tips

Carrying less adena into risky places means less to lose.
