"
For the Faction!"

○ Territory Farm
○ Territory Workshop
○ Territory Outpost
Buildings are upgraded by using Advanced Construction Materials which are crafted at the Territory Multipurpose Workbench. Players who contribute to the construction of an Advanced Building will receive 500 Honor Points and 20 Territory Contribution.
To craft Advanced Construction Materials you will need 1 Blue Salt Bond and 3 Onyx Archeum Essence.
The amount of Advanced Construction Materials required to upgrade a building varies for each building:
○ Advanced Territory Farm requires 30
○ Advanced Territory Crafting Workbench requires 60
○ Advanced Territory Outpost requires 30
Oasis Manager
A new function emerges for the Guardian Altar, interact and select a Protecting Prayer to summon an Oasis Manager. When interacting with the Oasis Manager with an Oasis Protection Elixir, they will activate an Oasis Protection Barrier for 6 hours which prevents enemies from entering the area. Players can still take damage from AOE and Impaling attacks. It then goes on a 24-hour cooldown.
An Oasis Protection Elixir is acquired by heroes, from the Outpost Steward, located on Advanced Territory Outposts.
Territory Farms
A Territory Farm can be remodelled into an Advanced Territory Farm. Once upgraded, a Botanist will spawn and will offer a Daily Quest called “Botanical Research.”
The quest requires players to collect 10 Botanical Specimen, and submitting them will grant the player an Unidentified Garden Seed and 10 Territory Contribution.
Territory Workshop
A Territory Workshop can be remodelled into an Advanced Territory Workshop. Once upgraded, the ability to craft Radiant Erenor Awakening Scrolls is available as well as the recipe for Vivid Archeum Orbs.
At certain times after the upgrade, the Resource Manager will request a resource deliver to a hero who must accept it within 1 hour. If a hero misses the slot, they can take it again at a later time.
Once accepted, a zone quest will be activated and players must bring packs from other areas.
Smoldering Logs for Heedmar: Deliver 1 Smoldering Log Bundle
Smoldering Logs for Nuimari: Deliver 1 Smoldering Log Bundle
Mineral Water for Marcala: Deliver 1 Auroria Mineral Water Pack
Mineral Water for Calmlands: Deliver 1 Auroria Mineral Water Pack
Upon completion, the player will receive 200 Territory Pence and 10 Territory Contribution. The quest can only be completed once per day, but packs can continue to be delivered for the duration of the activation, where each delivery will grant 15 Territory Contribution. Delivering 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 packs total respectively will increase the Territory Income by 1000g.
Territory Outpost
A Territory Outpost can be upgraded to an Advanced Territory Outpost by remodelling the building.
A Territory Steward spawns and offers an Oasis Protection Elixir for 3 Onyx Archeum essence.
The daily quest taken from the Outpost changes, although it grants the same rewards it now only requires 50 killed mobs as opposed to 100.
Trade
Disguised Trade Packs
The Garden of the Gods update introduces a new type of Trade Pack, which can be crafted using materials gathered both in the Garden and around Auroria.
To get started with these Trade Packs, players will first have to complete the quest “Botanical Research” ten times. This quest is offered by a Botanist, that appears on an Advanced Territory Farm and asks brave adventurers who dare to venture into the Garden of the Gods to collect Botanical Specimen. Completing the Botanist’s quest does not only reward the players with Unidentified Garden Seeds, which randomly grant either Silver Lily Seeds, Crimson Petunia Seeds or Indigo Peony Seeds, but also the ability to earn an extra buck with the Disguised Packs later.
Once the Botanist lets you in on their secret side business and you meet her associate on either Nuia or Haranya, you will be able to accept a new daily quest from said associate, that requires you to deliver Garden flowers and some Territory Coins to the Botanist. The Botanist will then provide you with a perfectly wrapped up Bundle of Garden Flowers. Combining the Bundle of Garden Flowers with either an Auroria Mineral Water Pack or Smoldering Log Bundle at the Faction Base which can be found at the shores of Nuimari, Heedmar, Marcala and Calmlands, will grant you a Disguised Mineral Water Pack or Disguised Smoldering Log Bundle respectively.
The only thing left to do at this point, is to safely transport this valuable Trade Pack to the Shadow Merchant on Freedich Island, who will compensate with Onyx Archeum Essences in exchange.
Completing this daily quest enough times eventually rewards busy traders with a new title!
New Trade Route
A new trade route that connects Rokhala Mountains and Rookborne Basin has been added
