Guild Ranking Battles

Hello Fellow guildies. By taking party in Guild Rank Battle(GRB), we can get our self a rank and also, its lots of fun. Its not PVP, There is a misconception that Guild Ranking Battle means Guild vs Guild but its not that. You do not fight other people. You are sent to a new map, where you must kill normal mobs and bosses to gain points. Its not that simple though. Here is a guide about GRB, some parts of it are from the Guild Rank Battles guide from the Shaiya website. The part I posted below is the important part but you can read the whole article if you want at:

================================================
‘Old Willow’s Final’ Private Conquest Point
================================================

In guild rank battle map of that area:



There are 3 portals in the initial starting point and the portals have been limited by levels. These are 1~15Lv, 16~30Lv, and 31~60Lv, respectively. Each member must enter the portal that matches his/her level to win points.

Players in portal 1 and 2 must defeat boss Sirvana and Silvanus to open the portal A and B in zone C (Boss Sirvana -> Portal A / Boss Silvanus -> Portal B). Therefore, it is wise for players that entered the A and B zones to kill the bosses as soon as possible. Players in zone C must attack boss D soon after portal B opens and kill the final boss, ‘Old Willow’, together with other players in zone A and B soon after arriving at portal D. This will complete the guild ranking battle dungeon.

Important Things
================================================

* You can only enter the map with your character 1 time. If it dies, it CANNOT leader res and will respawn outside the map, thus cannot participate again. Unless the priest res him/her. So priest better not die.

* Only the members of Reawakened Hope s will be in map. There wont be anyone else. We will be all alone for quest so we wont have to worry about other guilds killing the boss, KS and stuff like that.

* We will not fight other guild or human player. Only normal monster but these monsters are bit harder then normal monsters.

Plan For Guild Rank Battles
========================================

All guildies needs either lv30 or lv15 character, or atleast a character 1 or 2 level lower than 30 and 15.

Frequent Question and Answers:

Q: But I dont have a lv30 or lv15 character, what now?
- If you have a lower level character, you can level it. If you have higher. you can either make one, or you can just participate with your whatever character you have.

Q: Higher then 30 level character is not a good thing?
- Not really. If your character is above 30 and below 50, you are going to have very hard time. You should make a new character and level it to lv15 or 30 and use it instead. Guildies will help you level if you make a toon for GRB.

Q: But there is a 31-60 section, right?
- Yes but mobs in 31~60 area are incredibly hard. We will need lv50s (thats only a guess and it could easily be lv55) for that area and we do now have enough lv50s in guild. I'd say we shouldnt even concentrate on that, and lets just concentrate on lv30 and lv15 for now.

Q: But my toon is above lv30 and I want to help guild in GRB, what should I do?
- You should make an alt toon for GRB (and you can pvp with it too), level it to either 15 or 30. I recommend lv30 but lv15 will help too. Its up to you, and how much you want to do for the guild.

Q: What would be an ideal 7 man party?
- Ideal party would be:

Defender | Priest x2 | Mages x4

Q: Why 2 priests in ideal party?

- Because if one priest dies. There is a back up to res it. Not only that, The bosses are too hard and def can use 2 priest's healing.

Q: Why do we participate in it anyway?
- Well, because its fun. We are just a nice guild that we deserve to be ranked. And to get a rank, we must take part in Guild Rank Battles every week. Its a good way to keep the unity and love among the guild.

I repeat. Anyone who wants to make a character for GRB. We will help you in leveling, Plvl you as much as we can.


================================================
Strategy
================================================

Now heres what i think how we should do it.



Red line represents 16~30 team. From now on. I will call it "red team" and the blue line present 1~15 team, and thus "blue team". They enter from their respective portals. Both teams will fight their way to boss. While red team fights their boss, the blue team will wait for them to finish. Ones the red team is done with their boss, they can unite with blue team to kill their boss. Plan B, if red team is having hard time defeating their boss. They can ask the blue team for help, while blue team cannot do alot, the extra healing will surely help a bit.

Ones both bosses are down. Both team can grind on their respective areas to cash in more points.


================================================
Timing
================================================

The ranking battles take places every Saturday, 12:00pm PDT. It lasts 1 hour, I hereby request you all to be online next Saturday at about 12:00pm.


================================================
Screenshots
================================================

I took some screenshots of 1-15 area.

Heres a picture right in front on portal to 1-15 area (Portal 1 in map shown above).



You can see the boss (Sivvana) at distance in this picture. It looks like Isprite/Currupt Pharos.
