Chip Wars |
| Q:
What are “Chip Wars”? |
| A: Three
wars are fought each day over the talic mines, in
equal eight-hour intervals. These wars are called
“Chip Wars”. The objective of a Chip
War is to attack the enemies’ Control Center
and obtain their chip and gain access to the mining
core. |
|
| Q:
Can you provide a summary of the Chip War process? |
| A: Chip
War phases occur in the following order: 1. Quest
is received and battle ensues 2. Chip is obtained
and the battle is complete 3. Appearance of the
Holy Stone Keeper 4. Safe mining time in the Core
5. Holy Stone Keeper chaos 6. Disappearance of the
Holy Stone Keeper |
|
| Q:
Does the Chip Bearer get any bonus prize? |
| A: If
he/she makes it into the mining core in 10 minutes
after obtaining the chip without dying, they will
receive a 50% defense bonus and get marked with
a green aura of light until the next Chip War commences. |
|
| Q:
Holy Stone Keeper Chaos? What is that? |
| A: When
the mining time runs out, the Holy Stone Keeper
will enter chaos mode and obliterate anyone that
enters the core. |
|
| Q:
How do I know if the Holy Stone Keeper is friendly
or not? |
| A: A
system message in the chat window usually informs
all players of the Holy Stone Keeper’s status
upon logging in. |
|
| Q:
How do you win a Chip War? |
| A: The
first race to obtain a chip wins the war, and gets
access to the talic mine under the protection of
the Holy Stone Keeper. |
|
| Q:
How long do I have to mine in the Core? |
| A: The
player who strikes the last hit on the Control Center
of the targeted race is the “chip bearer”
and must run to the mining core in 10 minutes to
receive maximum mining time (7 hours) for their
race. If the chip bearer fails to make it in time,
the mining time is based from the remaining health
of his/her race’s Control Center. |
|
| Q:
If I obtain the chip, can I log off and still have
the defense bonus? |
| A: If
you obtain the chip, feel free to log off if you
need to. The defense bonus will still be there when
you log in (provided you log in before the next
Chip War commences). |
|
| Q:
If two races attack the same chip, who wins? |
| A: If
two races attack and successfully destroy the same
Control Center, then the race that strikes the last
hit on the chip will obtain it and secure the victory
for their race. |
|
| Q:
What are the Rewards/Losses for the Chip War quest? |
| A: Players
are awarded or inflicted based on the outcome of
the battle. Contribution Points: Victory: 5,000
Defeat: -2,500 Money Victory: 10,000 Defeat: 0 A
race only “loses” the war if their own
Control Center is broken. Otherwise, a race occurs
no loss. For example, if the Accretians break the
Bellato Control Center, then the Accretians gain,
the Bellato lose, while the Cora suffer no loss. |
|
| Q:
What is the maximum run time of a Chip War? |
| A: Chip
Wars can last up to 2 hours and 50 minutes. If no
one wins in the alotted time, then the HolyStone
Keeper will be hostile towards all races. |
|
| Q:
What level do I need to be to participate in a Chip
War? |
| A: Your
character must be a minimum level of 25 to participate
in Chip Wars. Players under level 25 cannot damage
the chip, but can still enter the arena and attack
players. |
