  • When at least 2, non-allied VvV players are logged into the game a random Virtue City will be open for battle.
  • When a VvV player enters an active battle region a battle status gump will open indicating their guild’s scoring progression as well as important match updates.
  • At the start of the battle non-VvV players will receive a warning gump indicating that if they do not leave the battle city they will be open to attack.
  • Any non-VvV player entering the city during the battle will receive the same warning gump.
  • VvV players can score points for their guild in a variety of ways:
    • Being the only guild/alliance to occupy the city
    • Killing opposing non-allied VvV players. There is a 5 minute timeout between when a player’s death results in the killer’s guild receiving points.
    • Finding and returning the Sigil
      • The sigil icon at the bottom of the battle status gump will illuminate when the sigil has spawned.
      • A passive Detecting Hidden skill check will alert the player when they are near the sigil with a message that, “Their keen senses detect something hidden in the area” if a player has at least 80.0% detecting hidden skill.
      • Players must use detecting hidden and have at least 100.0% stealing to reveal and steal the sigil.
      • Once the sigil has been acquired it can be returned to either the Priest of Vice or Priest of Virtue.
      • The sigil is cursed and can be picked up or stolen by other VvV players.
    • Claiming an Altar:
      • When the message, “Fight for the Altar” appears in the battle status gump an arrow will point towards the direction of the altar.
      • Claim the altar by being the only guild/alliance to stand on it and ignite all 4 braziers.
      • If an opposing VvV player steps onto the altar the claiming process resets.
  • VvV players will receive silver points during the match that can be redeemed for a variety of rewards.
  • When any guild’s point status bar is filled or the battle timer ends the battle will conclude.
  • After a short cooldown period if at least 2, non-allied VvV players are logged into the game another battle will start.

    • Traps can be revealed using the detecting hidden skill actively.
    • Traps can be disarmed using the Remove Trap skill actively.
    • Successful disarmament of a trap results in the trap being returned to the disarmer, failure results in detonation.
    • Guild mates and allies may not detect or remove the traps of their guild mates and allies.

  • War Steeds
    • War Ostards and War Horses are delivered as a pet statuette. Using the pet statuette will create a bonded pet to the user.
    • War steeds cannot be traded, and when released will disappear.
    • War steeds must be fed regular food appropriate to the creature type.
    • War steeds must also be fed “Essence of Courage” to keep up their battle readiness. The potion restores 1 unit.
    • VvV mounts will lose 1 "unit" of battle readiness after every death, and after every 24 hour period. If you are riding the mount when the decay tick hits and it has lost all "units" of battle readiness it will go poof.

For reference they start with 8 units, you get the low message at 5 units, and can have a max of 20 units.
