Both are required inside a castle during WoE. * WoE runs every day, one town per hour (see the schedule below). Type `@woe` or talk to **WOE Information** (`mainprt 186 196`) to see the running town, who owns its castles, and to warp to them. * Break the Emperium to take the castle. Keep it until the hour ends. * After each hour, rewards are sent by mail (see [WoE Rewards](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/woe_rewards.md)). **Note:** All times are server time. A guild can hold any number of castles. ## Schedule Every day, First Edition castles only, one town per hour: | Time | Castles | | ------------- | ----------------------- | | 19:00 - 20:00 | Al De Baran (5 castles) | | 20:00 - 21:00 | Geffen (5 castles) | | 21:00 - 22:00 | Payon (5 castles) | | 22:00 - 23:00 | Elf Island (5 castles) | * Only the 5 castles of the running hour can be fought over. The other castles stay closed: their owners may stay inside, everyone else is sent back to their save point. * The start of each hour is announced, 10 minutes before the end there is a warning, and at the end the server announces which guild holds each castle of that town. * WoE Second Edition (Arunafeltz, Schwarzwald) no longer runs. * [King of Emperium](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/king_of_emperium.md) runs every day at 11:00 and 18:00. ## Castle Rules * During WoE, a player with no guild is sent back to their save point as soon as they enter a castle. * The same happens if your guild has no emblem. Set one before the war. * Assumptio, Gospel, Mind Breaker and Eske are removed when you enter a castle during WoE. * The same checks run at all times in the `guild_vs1` arena. * Monsters in Elf Island cannot teleport away. ## Guild Basics | Rule | Value | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Making a guild | Takes 1 Emperium | | Guild tax | The leader can send up to 50% of a member's base EXP to the guild | | Alliances | Up to 3 | | Leader change | Once per day, never during WoE | | Castles per guild | No limit | | Guild Traits | On (see [Guild Traits](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/guild_traits.md)) | `@woeranking` opens the WoE ranking: top kills, deaths, Emperium breaks and the guild rank. ## Pages In This Section | Page | What it covers | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [WoE Rewards](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/woe_rewards.md) | POD by mail after every WoE hour for taking part, the longest defense and holding a castle; one reward per PC. | | [Guild Traits](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/guild_traits.md) | EXP, drop, weight, regen and damage bonuses for every member, one tier per 10 guild levels. | | [Guild Manager](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/guild_manager.md) | Turn zeny, loot and kills into Guild EXP, plus the Guild Trait Ranking board. | | [WoE Practice](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/woe_practice.md) | Timed solo Emperium break with a Top 10 ladder and free practice dummies. | | [King of Emperium](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/king_of_emperium.md) | Emperium hold every day at 11:00 and 18:00 on four rotating KoE Hill maps, with POD prizes. | | [Guild Economy and Prize Claim](/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe/guild_economy.md) | Castle economy viewer in Elf Island and `@reward` for prizes granted by staff. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://dark-elf-online.gitbook.io/dark-elf-online-docs/guild-and-pvp/woe.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
