King of the Hill (RvR encounter)
The King of the Hill RvR random encounter is an Against All Odds-based event intended to give an outnumbered warband a focused fight in a Tier 2–4 RvR lake.
Starting the encounter
- One realm must have at least 20% AAO.
- At least one warband of players from each realm must be present in the zone.
- A non-attackable NPC may appear at a strategic location and call the underdog realm to arms.
- A warband leader with at least 16 members can accept the challenge.
- Once accepted, the leader's location is marked for the enemy realm and a 10-minute timer begins.
Objective
The underdog realm wins if its warband leader survives in the event area for 10 minutes. The outnumbering realm wins by killing the leader.
During the first 90 seconds, the leader may designate two party members as lieutenants. The leader and lieutenants receive increased Wounds, outgoing damage and healing, reduced incoming damage, and increased character size. These bonuses scale with the underdog realm's AAO and are removed on death or upon leaving the event area.
Rewards
Rewards are granted to eligible players from the victorious realm who are in the immediate area when the encounter ends.
| AAO | Underdog victory | Outnumbering realm victory |
|---|---|---|
| 20–40% | 15 War Crests | 15 War Crests at 20% AAO; 10 at 40% AAO |
| 60–100% | 30 War Crests and a choice of one top-tier crafting material | 5 War Crests |
| 120%+ | 40 War Crests, a Renown potion, and a choice of one top-tier crafting material | 5 War Crests |
