== Mount Gunbad ==
[[File:Gunbad Entrance New v2.png|thumb|Welcome to Mount Gunbad!]]
'''Mount Gunbad''' is the first level 40 dungeon in Return of Reckoning, and is located in the northwest corner of [[The Badlands]] (entrance at 4k,4k).

*This dungeon grants the '''Red-eye''' set, which unlocks the '''[[Conqueror Ward]]'''.

*'''Every member of your party will get rewards''' for every boss kill via PQ Bags: 2 Gold, 2 Purple, and 2 Blue. Gold bags include Red-Eye set pieces.

*Mount Gunbad is also one of the only dungeons that drops rare '''Eternal Seeds''' for [[Cultivating]], which have a (tiny) chance to drop from any enemy mob of Hero rank or above.

It is possible to take quests within the dungeon starting at '''level 32''', and experienced guilds / groups should have no problem including players in the mid-high 30's.

== Your first Gunbad ==

If it's your first time in the Dungeon, make sure to take the '''Blue Repeatable quests''' given by the NPC in the starting room.

These quests will guarantee you Redeye armor after defeating certain bosses three times. Just in case you don't roll gold bags, this is a great way to ensure you won't have to rely on RNG to get the gear you need!

== Dungeon Layout ==

[[File:Gunbad-Detailed-Minimap-Final.jpg|thumb|Mount Gunbad Minimap]]
Gunbad features three wings: Left, Right, and Middle. These three can be completed in any order.

Each of the three wings includes at least one '''Optional Boss''', which drops additional loot but can be skipped if the party would like.

To fight the final boss of each wing, you'll need to kill the bosses prior to it in order to open the magical barriers that allow entrance.

== Lore ==
''Although [[Ekrund]] may have been the richest mine beyond the Worlds Edge Mountains, Gunbad was the greatest and wealthiest of the world - only the biggest fortresses of Karaz Ankor produced more riches.

''Located on the eastern slopes of the Worlds Edge Mountains, Gunbad was, and still is the only source of Brynduraz ("shining stone" in Khazalid), a blue gem much valued by Dwarf jewellers. Its gold was so crucial for maintaining the Dwarf army that during the War of Vengeance against the High Elves it wasn't forced to supply troops. But the Dwarfs didn't realize their greatest enemy would come from the East.''

''While the bulk of the Dwarf armies were still returning from their victorious campaign against the Elves, disaster came over the Worlds Edge Mountains. Earthquakes covered the mountain passes with rubble, isolating temporarily holds and mines. Gunbad Dwarfs fought valiantly when the Greenskins came, but defeat was inevitable. Over two hundred years ago, Dwarfs came back to Gunbad in great numbers. Led by Logazor Brightaxe, they managed to retake the mines, but this victory left Gunbad isolated in the midst of a land still riddled with Orcs and Goblins, which turned it into a tempting and vulnerable goal. It was just a matter of time before Dwarfs were forced to relinquish their dominion over Gunbad once more. After this defeat, Dwarfs haven't had enough strength to retake the mines to the East of the Worlds Edge Mountains.''

== Updated 2025 Boss Guides ==

The Dungeon was rebuilt starting in October 2025, shifting into new Lua code and with many new or restored mechanics. You can find a list of those, as well as a Video Guide, below:

== Left Wing ==
The left wing has Four Bosses and Two Optional Bosses. If mechanics are working properly, this is by far the most difficult wing in the entire dungeon, due purely to its final boss.

At the time of writing this wiki page, the final boss in the Left Wing is bugged and not all mechanics are working properly, which makes it a relatively easy tank-and-spank.

From the entrance, head Left and across the bridge to start your path to the first pair of bosses. Clear the adds and once you enter the first large room, take a left and head to the Healer NPC.
[[File:Griblik da Stinka.png|thumb|Focus Griblik, the Squig boss, first.]]
You can drop off behind the healer NPC and survive the fall if you're careful, so do this in order to skip a number of mobs.

Clear the nearby mobs and note that the first boss is just ahead of you!

== First Boss: Griblik Da Stinka ==

Girblik Da Stinka is actually a dual-boss fight, and your party can handle it a few ways:

*Have a solo tank pull and hold both bosses at once.
*Have an off-tank pull the Wyvern boss and keep it away from Griblik.
*Have a sturdy DPS or Healer pull the Wyvern boss and keep it away from Griblik.

Any of these combinations can work depending on your gear and team composition, so feel free to adapt if you need to. Remember: there's no single "right" way to clear most bosses.

Key Mechanics:

*Damage boost: If Griblik and Ol Greenwingz are close to each other, each will gain a 30% Damage increase to all abilities.
**This damage increase is visually marked by a Sword Icon above their heads.
*Focus down Griblik, the Squig boss, first. Once he's dead, Ol Greenwingz will join him in a suicide pact and fall next to his Squig brother.
*Undefendable Chomp: Griblik will hit the tank for 20% of the tank's total HP.
*Ol Greenwingz will spawn Eggs during this fight. Avoid using AOE damage here, as these eggs will pop, causing a Green Puddle to appear at the feet of whoever popped them. If these spawn, move the boss away from them.
*Far-reaching Spittle: Ol Greenwingz will periodically hit the furthest player from them for 35% of that player's total HP.
*Healers: Your party's cooldowns will get periodically increased by Ol Greenwingz. All healers, regardless of class, can cleanse this 60 second debuff, so start by cleansing yourself and then your party members.

The gold bags from the Griblik fight will grant the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Second Boss: Bilebane the Rager ''(Optional)'' ==
[[File:Bilebane the Rager.png|thumb|Bilebane the Rager.]]

Bilebane the Rager is technically an optional boss, but almost every group kills him because he's very much in the way to the next boss.

Key mechanics:

*Tank him facing away from the group.
*When he raises his arms, use a Taunt or an interrupt to prevent him damaging and knocking back allies.
*Be ready to quickly heal the tank and those in melee range from sudden damage bursts.
*Bilebane will periodically spew vomit on the Tank. This applies an incoming heal debuff, so healers can cleanse this off quickly to remove it.

Beyond that, he's a very easy boss. Bilebane the Rager drops Gunbad Jewelry, and has a chance to drop the rare purple variants.

Now, head into the next room to find...

== Third Boss: Garrolath the Poxbearer ==

[[File:Garrolath the Poxbearer.png|thumb|Garrolath will reduce your party's outgoing damage. Take a shower at the nearby rushing water to remove this debuff!]]
Garrolath the Poxbearer is the third boss of the Left Wing.

Before fighting him, be sure to clear out the adds within the room so your party has some room to manuever.

Key Mechanics:

*Putrid Stink: As the fight continues, you will gain a stack of Putrid Stink, reducing your outgoing damage by 5% per stack. This can stack up to 15 times.

*Take a Shower: By moving your character under the Rushing Water, the shower will remove the Putrid Stink from your body, just like in real life.
** If you wait and remove the stink after gaining 7 stacks or more, you will not only purge the debuff but also convert all debuff stacks into a special buff called Freshly Rejuvenated.

*Freshly Rejuvenated: Increases your outgoing damage by 7% per stack. While you are under the effects of Freshly Rejuvanted, you cannot be debuffed by Putrid Stink.
*Knockback: The boss will knock the group back at 90% and every 20% HP after that. Position yourself with your back to the wall to avoid being sent far off.
*'''The boss will summon Nurgling champions every 10% of HP he loses.''' When a Nurgling is near him, it will restore 1% of his HP every few seconds.
**The lower Garrolath's HP goes, the more Nurglings he will spawn. You can either move these away from the boss if you have two tanks, or you can quickly AOE them down.
**Timing your Freshly Rejuvenated buff on AOE DPS can help kill these very quickly.

That's all for Garrolath - once dead, grab your bag and move on - an optional boss lies just ahead! Garrolath's Gold Bags include the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Fourth Boss: Kurga Da Squig Maker ==

Kurga Da Squig Maker is an optional small goblin boss located near the Slime Wall to your right as you move forward.

Key Mechanics:
*Knock-up: Kurga will periodically send one player flying into the air. When this player lands, they will deal large damage to all allies nearby.
**Players with detaunt can use this to reduce the damage dealt by this ability.
*Slime Nursery: Green Slime Bubbles will appear as the fight begins. Each of these will spawn a Squig Champion NPC every 5 seconds. Quickly hit the Bubble to pop it and stop the adds spawning.
*Tanks: This boss has a damage boost, so watch for your shatter enchantment / buff option to light up and immediately use it if so.

This boss drops additional Gunbad Jewelry and has a chance of dropping a Purple Seed.

== Fifth Boss: Foul Mouf Da Ungry ==
[[File:Foul Mouf da ungry.png|thumb|Foul Mouf grows more and more hangry as you damage him. Feed him a Mushroom to sate his hunger!]]
A large Squig boss stands between you and the final boss of the left wing: '''Foul Mouf Da Ungry!'''

Key Mechanics:

*Hangry: For every 5% of HP lost, the boss will gain one stack of "Hangry", increasing his damage by 10%.
*Mushrooms: Four Mushrooms spawn as the fight begins. Moving the boss to any of these Mushrooms will cause him to eat it, removing any stacks of "Hangry".
**Mushrooms do not respawn unless the fight is restarted, so time their use carefully.
*'''Tank: You'll be in charge of moving the boss to mushrooms when it's time to clear his Hangry stacks. The timing on this is up to you depending on your avoidance and total HP.
*Squig Vomit: At every 10% HP lost, the boss will vomit on a random player. This vomit is a DoT that will tick for 15% of that player's HP every few seconds.
**Healers, it's your time to shine. Cleanse this DoT quickly once it applies. (You'll see text letting you know who has it.)

Once the boss is dead, all barriers blocking the final boss of the wing should be open. The gold bags from this boss grant the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Sixth Boss: Glomp da Squig Masta ==
[[File:Glomp da Squig Masta.png|thumb|Be mindful of Glomp's Squig pets, and be ready to spread out during his stomp phase under 30% HP!]]

Once upon a time, this boss ended more runs of Gunbad than we can count. His new mechanics are much more forgiving, as long as you have some basic awareness.

'''Phase 1 Key Mechanics:'''

*Green Goo: The Boss will randomly select a player to throw Green Goo on. This player is marked with a red light and text which announces the mechanic to them. Once marked, they have 8 seconds to move away from the group and drop the puddle.
**Once the light disappears, there is a further 1-2 delay before the puddle begins to damage. So once the light is gone, you can safely move back into the group.
*Tank: This boss doesn't move from his starting location, but he can turn around.
*Healers: Most healers stand up top where the Boss Spawns during this fight, in order to have full line-of-sight around the room. However, watch for Puddles as these can still drop on you here.
*Guard-Swap: This boss will select a player at random and say he has his sights on them. This player is marked with a Shield icon, which signifies the tank to Guard Swap to this player.
*At 90%, 60%, and 40%, this boss will summon Squigs to come attack your group. Make sure to have your tank challenge these and AOE them down with your DPS.
**Once all squigs are defeated, or after 30 seconds, the boss loses his temporary damage immunity and can be hit again.
*Terror: This boss fight causes Terror, meaning you cannot revive anyone who dies.

'''Phase 2:''' At 30%, Glomp will hop into his Squig Armor. '''Your Party should spread out''' during this time and wait for him to begin his damage attack.

*When Glomp says: "''''Ere comes da pain!''", quickly '''get away from the boss''' - he will bounce and deal '''huge damage to anyone nearby him''', and this damage doubles for every player he hits!
*This stomp can instantly kill almost anyone in the party if you're fully stacked and they're hit more than once.
*Once he's done stomping, you have a small window to DPS him before he does his next stomp. Rinse and repeat this strategy until the boss is dead.
*It's also possible to leave only a couple targets on Glomp and heal through the damage caused by this stomp. You will always have a couple seconds after you see "Ere comes da pain!" to move away.

From 30% down, Glomp poses very little direct damage threat beyond his AOE, so just '''take your time and back off early if you're worried about dying to his stomp.''' Slow and steady gets the boss kill.

Once he's done, you've cleared the left wing of Gunbad - congratulations! If you win a Gold Bag, you'll find the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Shoulders]] inside.

== Right Wing Guide ==

The Right Wing of Gunbad includes Four Bosses and one Optional boss.

As you cross the bridge that begins this wing, you can skip some of the starting mobs and make your way into the open large room.

The first boss lies ahead, and spawns either as you walk up to the giant treasure chest, or when you aggro the troll just down the hill to the right of it.

== First Boss: Brood Mother Szikalax ''(Optional)'' ==
[[File:Brood Mother.png|thumb| Approach the giant treasure chest to trigger the optional ''Brood Mother'' boss fight.]]
Brood Mother Szikalax guards a giant treasure chest and is an optional boss near the start of the Right Wing.

Key Mechanics:
*Tank: As always, face the boss away from group.
*The boss will spawn additional spider mobs which tank can Challenge. DPS can AOE these down quickly.

This boss drops Gunbad Jewelry.

== Second boss: Masta Wrangla Glix ==

Masta Wrangla Glix is a little goblin that really loves trolls.

Key Mechanics:
*'''Tank: This boss will spawn troll adds at 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20% HP'''. Pick these up if solo or have the off-tank grab them.
*DPS: You can AOE down the troll adds to keep the pressure light on the tank.
**They grow up so fast: If the Young Trolls are not killed quickly enough, they will upgrade into Adult Trolls and deal much more damage.
*Healers: The 20% spawn of Trolls are Adult Trolls and hit hardest, so if things are smooth '''save your morales for any burst damage''' near the tail-end of this fight.

This boss drops the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Third Boss: Elder Kizzig da Waagha ==
[[File:Elder Kizzig.png|thumb| When fighting Elder Kizzig, be careful not to kill ''Chipfang da Lit'l'', or he'll enrage! ]]
'''Elder Kizzig''' is the first fight in the right wing that will require more effort than a regular tank and spank. You have a couple options here, but most important:

*'''In this fight, there is a small snotling named ''Chipfang'' that must be kept alive.''' If it dies (and it dies easily), the Boss will enrage and kill everyone.

This means you have at least two options when fighting this boss:

*Either use purely Single Target damage to avoid hurting Chipfang, ''or'':
*Have an off-tank, Healer, or even DPS pull Chipfang away from the fight, so your party can AOE safely. With the new food mechanic, any class can do this.

Key Mechanics:
*'''Knockdown: This boss will knock you down every 20% HP lost''', preventing abilities for 2 seconds.
*Elder Krizzig will spawn more Snotlings throughout the fight. You can AOE these down as long as Chipfang is far enough away.
*Chipfang's Chippys: 5 plates of food can be found on the floor near where Elder Kizzig spawns. Interacting with any of these food plates will increase a player's aggro on Chipfang considerably, usually forcing Chipfang to move to them.
*Chipfang's Hunger: Chipfang will periodically get hungry, and will announce this while changing to a new target. He will wait 2 seconds before moving to this target, so have whoever is managing his aggro use a plate of food in this window to easily pull him back as needed.

Elder Krizzig drops [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves or Boots]].

== Fourth Boss: Herald of Solithex ==
[[File:Herald of Solithex.png|thumb| Avoid the Herald of Solithex' AOE puddles, which use the same graphic as the Sorc's Pit of Shades.]]
The next room contains a number of Gravestones, which will '''spawn Champion Dwarf enemies''' if they are attacked directly or with AOE. There's a cooldown before they can spawn again, so it's recommended to purposefully spawn and kill these adds prior to the next fight to make things easy on your healers.

The '''Herald of Solithex''' is a Scythe-wielding Wraith and the second-to-last boss of the Right Wing. Even for new groups, it's a fairly easy boss to kill thanks to a Respawn point nearby that allows dead players to resurrect and quickly hop back to the fight.

Key Mechanics:
*This boss will pull everyone towards it, then soon after spawn a '''Purple Puddle on the ground'''. (Visual: The same as the Sorc's Pit of Shades). '''Quickly step out of these puddles''' and have your Tank move the boss.
*Tank: This boss can cleave hard, so keep it facing away from your healers and group. Move it each time that it spawns another puddle.
*Heal Debuff: When cleaving, this boss can also apply a 50% incoming Heal Debuff, which is marked by a red broken heart above a player's head. All healers can cleanse this off.
*'''At 50% Boss Health''', a Dwarf Boss named '''Logazor Brightaxe''' will also spawn. While alive, the Herald will take 60% less damage.
*Mourkain Empowerment: While Logazor and the Herald of Solithex are near each other, each will gain a 30% damage increase.
*Killing Logazor quickly will cause a magical backlash on the Herald called ''Slipping Power'', increasing all incoming damage to the boss for the remainder of the fight.
**Alternatively, you can ignore Logazor and burn through the damage reduction, but be aware that Logazor has true damage (listed below), so make sure healers are on their toes in case both hit near each other.
*Undefendable Smash: Logazor will periodically hit his target for 50% of their total HP. His auto-attack damage is quite low, so it is possible to survive this on a non-tank.

If you die during this fight, '''you can respawn''' and run down the hill nearby to jump right back into the fight.

The Herald of Solithex drops [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Fifth Boss: Masta Mixa ==
[[File:Masta Mixa.png|thumb| Focus down Masta Mixa's staff when he spawns it, and watch out for the green fists!]]
The final boss of the Right Wing is the Masta Mixa. The new version of this boss has a number of mechanics to watch for:

*Gitzappa da Stikk: As the fight begins, the boss will spawn a Staff named Gitzappa that locks down a single player, preventing them from moving or using any abilities. Destroy this quickly to free the locked down player.
*At 50%, Masta Mixa will decide that two stikks are better than one, and will spawn two sticks with lower HP. Like before, destroy both to free the locked player.
*At 20% HP, Masta Mixa desperately tries to one-up himself with three sticks all locking down a player. These have even less HP than before, and must all be destroyed to free the locked player.
*'''Fists of Gork: The boss will summon two giant green fists that will smash the ground and chase one member of your party.''' The targeted player will be announced in chat, so have that person kite the fists so they don't kill your group.
**A new player will be targeted randomly by the fists every ~30 seconds after they first appear.
**Some groups also just heal through these fists. This is possible if your group is strong enough, but watch out in case your healer gets locked down during the second or third Staff phases.
*Reinforcements: As the fight continues, you'll see additional adds appearing, with large groups appearing at 60% and 10% HP. These die very quickly (just a few hits from your DPS is enough) so kill them fast and hop back to the boss.
**The extra adds start out very weak, but if allowed to survive, gradually grow in power. When empowered, the Sword Icon appears above their head to warn that their damage is increasing. Don't let them survive too long!

As long as you '''don't run the Green fists into the group''', or forget to focus down the staff phases, you should have a pretty easy time burning down this boss.

Once Masta Mixa is defeated, two members of your party will get the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Helmet]] within their Gold Bags. Only the middle wing remains!

== Middle Wing Guide ==

The Middle Wing of Gunbad is the final wing, and includes four bosses and one optional boss. (The optional boss in this wing counts as a "Final" boss and can also be used for [[Guild Coin]] quest completion.)

Start by killing the enemies on the straight, narrow path in front of you. The first of these can also be pulled to the range of your camp guards, who will make short work of them. Just before the path turns right, run straight and drop off of this to skip some mobs and save a little time.

Once below, you'll need to pass a number of ranged mobs and Hero Giants - most groups hug the left wall here to skip the Giants, but you can also farm these if you want the rare chance of a Purple Seed drop.

As you pass the last of these, you'll see a large Giant ahead of you... the first boss of the Middle Wing awaits!

== First Boss: Redeye Big Oaf ==
[[File:Redeye Big Oaf.jpg|thumb| The Big Oaf will send you flying into the air, so tank him underneath the Goblin huts to use them as a makeshift roof.]]
The Redeye Big Oaf is a huge Giant and has a few mechanics to make you sweat, but is overall a very easy boss.

Key Mechanics:
*This boss will stomp and send your party '''flying into the air.''' By tanking it to the right of where you first see it, you can use the small Goblin hut floors as a roof to prevent your tank flying off.
*This boss cleaves all around it, including behind, so Melee DPS should be guarded here if possible.
*Healers can choose to stand back at max distance in order to avoid much of the damage pressure here, if they want.

Sometimes this boss will bug out and vanish (likely teleporting itself to the high high vistas it thinks your tank has gone to) - you can solve this by having your tank move around a bit, which should remind the Giant that his people need him down below.

Once the Redeye Big Oaf is defeated, two members of your party will get Gold Bags that contain the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Boots or Gloves]].

== Second Boss: Blaz Da' Tamin Masta ==

As you enter the area before the next boss, Blaz, you'll be introduced to the '''Spider Egg Mechanic.''' (Doesn't that sound fun?) The game wants you to understand that any damage - and we mean ANY - will make these little egg sacs of joy and fun explode, and will send a whole horde of Champion Spider mobs lunging straight at your face!
[[File:Blaz da Tamin Masta.jpg|thumb| Focus down Blaz first, and be mindful of the Spider Eggs! ]]
Remember this Egg bit, because it's important on the next fight. As you progress here, most tanks will simply run forward and do large pulls, stacking the mobs together away from Spider Eggs for the DPS to kill. You can also just skip the mobs entirely if you want.

Blaz Da' Tamin Masta is a dual-boss fight, and features both Blaz, the small Goblin boss, and Velkyrix, a giant Spider Momma who is ready to not only lay the smack down on your tank but also to lay a whole bunch of eggs in the hopes you might pop some.

Key Mechanics:
*You can either Solo tank both bosses together or have an off-tank or strong healer/DPS pull Velkyrix away if your tank has trouble. Most groups tank these with the tank's back to one of the pillars near the bosses.
*'''Focus down Blaz first.''' If you kill Velkyrrix first, Blaz will enrage and your whole party will curse your name as they die to his enrage damage. Probably.
*'''Velkyrrix will spawn Spider Eggs constantly throughout this fight.''' You can either avoid them and go Single Target only, or go full AOE and try to quickly burn the Champion spiders that will pop from the eggs.
*Tank: If you're doing the AOE strat, and even if you aren't, be ready to use your Challenge to AOE taunt the mobs off your healers/ DPS. In Single Target attempts, there's usually at least one person that will accidentally AOE, so be cool and taunt those spiders instantly, because you're a pro and you totally saw that coming.

Once Blaz is dead, you need to stop and kill Velkyrrix. Unlike the Wyvern boss in the Left Wing, Velkyrrix is absolutely ''livid'' that you killed their Gobbo friend and will chase you to the ends of the Dungeon (including the next boss) in order to exact their revenge. Take a moment to burn down Velkyrrix, and the fight is over.

Blaz da Tamin Masta drops the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Fourth Boss: Arathremia ==
[[File:Arathremia.png|thumb| Be ready for Arathremia's Cleanse Mechanic and her Ghost adds, which will spawn faster if you kill her quickly.]]
Most groups will run past many of the next mobs, and once you go up the ramp, clear out the Skeleton enemies. On your right you'll see a Wraith named Arathremia, and she's the next boss before the two final bosses of the Middle Wing.

Key Mechanics:
*Tanks: Tank Arathremia towards the left where you first approach her, with your back to the wall.
*'''Tanks/DPS: This boss will spawn champion adds as she takes damage''', so the faster you burn her, the faster these adds will spawn. High DPS groups may find this fight harder, so if you're solo tanking, plan out which DPS will be your primary AOE damage, and keep them guarded.
*'''Healers: This boss will CC you multiple times throughout the fight''', and may disable one or both of you at the same time as the adds spawn. Pop morales and emergency group heals in these situations to survive.
*'''Cleanse: This boss will Mark players for Death''', which puts a skull over their head and kills them after some time passes. Any healer or self-cleanse can remove this. The players affected will also be announced in chat, so keep an eye on it!

If anyone in your group is a [[Scavenging|Scavenger]] and has nothing better to do during this fight, they can also loot the champ mobs after those die for a chance at talisman fragments. Once the boss dies, all the champ mobs will vanish, so get your Scavenge on early.
'
With Arathremia defeated, you can either make your way to the final boss, '''Ard ta Feed''', whose portal is up the hill behind her, or take on the Optional Boss '''Wight Lord Solithex''', whose room is located behind you and on the left.

Arathremia's gold bag rewards the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Gloves/Boots]].

== Wight Lord Solithex ''(Optional)'' ==
[[File:Wight Lord Solithex.png|thumb|Wight Lord Solithex is a fun but challenging fight for new 40 players, and drops the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Belt]].]]

Wight Lord Solithex is a challenging fight but also one of the cooler battles in Gunbad, so if you're taking him on, kudos to you for not skipping out. He's also the only boss that drops the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Belt]], needed to complete the Set Bonus. (This belt is not required for the Ward.)

Positioning matters on this boss, and most groups will have their '''Healers or Ranged DPS stand up on the ledge behind the Boss''' as you enter the room. Your Tank and melee DPS will brawl in the middle where the boss starts.

Also: Far in the back of the room, near NPC "Ghoullom" and behind where the healers will stand, '''is a totem'''. Remember this location, because it's going to be important at the end of the fight.

Key Mechanics:

*'''This boss has a lifesteal mechanic.''' When he says slams his sword into the ground and kneels, use your tank's Taunt or any Interrupt to stop him from healing. You can also move out of the purple AOE to avoid it.
*Tank: Keep the boss facing away from the group, as usual. But also save your AOE Challenge, because you'll need it for upcoming adds, like:
*'''At 70% HP, the boss will summon four giant Skeleton Champions.''' The Tank can AOE Challenge these and the DPS should AOE them and then continue on the boss.
*'''At 40% HP, the boss will spawn four broken pillars inside the arena.''' Each of these will constantly spawn skeleton mobs, and if you don't destroy them fast, your party will be overrun.
**Have your DPS all focus down the same pillars together, one at a time, to stop the skeletons from piling up. Your tank can also Challenge here to pull the adds off the group. Once the pillars are handled, AOE down any remaining skeletons.
*'''At 20% HP, the boss will grow huge and glow red''', and his movement speed will slow considerably.
**Here, the tank should kite the boss around the center of the room where they're already tanking, and all DPS should move to the back of the room to destroy the '''Soulstone Totem''' mentioned earlier. It's now also glowing red, to indicate that you can DPS it down.
*Once the Totem is destroyed, the boss will return to normal, and you can DPS it down to 0!

Note: Once you beat this boss, '''do not take the portal it spawns''' if you want to move on to the final boss, Ard Ta Feed. Instead, just run back through the door you entered from.

Wight Lord Solithex counts as a Final Boss, awarding Credit for the [[Guild Coin]] quest to defeat a Dungeon boss, and granting two players who win Gold Bags the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Belt]].

== Ard 'Ta Feed ==
[[File:Ard ta Feed.png|thumb|The final boss of Gunbad, Ard Ta Feed, awaits!]]
Ard Ta Feed is a monstrously giant Squig whose name is also a simple statement left by Goblins who tried to offer it other food - and were promptly eaten themselves.

If this boss has all mechanics working properly, it can be a tricky fight. However, if the mechanics are broken, like at the time of writing this guide, then this boss is a very simple and straightforward kill.

Before you start the fight, pick two party members who will be assigned to "Buttons". The button mechanic requires both members of your party to click one button each at the same time, which will pacify the boss and reduce his damage on your group.

Key Mechanics:

*'''Slime Bubbles:''' At 90%, Squigs will spawn from the Slime Bubbles around the fight. In normal mode, there are 4 bubbles. Have your DPS destroy these quickly. They don't respawn afterward.
*'''Healing: Ard Ta Feed will heal based on the amount of snack squigs that get near him.''' Heal debuffs will reduce this, but it is generally advised to destroy the Slime Bubbles as this is usually the faster way to kill him.
*'''Buttons: Two members of your party should stand on either side of the large Pillar in this room.''' The pillar will light up at 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20% boss HP - when you see the lights on it, keep clicking the button until finally both are clicked together, and you see a green laser hitting the boss.
*'''Tank: Hold the boss with your back to the large stone pillar on either the right or left side of the boss.''' (This way you maintain good line-of-sight with your heals, who may be far away on buttons.)
*Herd of Squigs: In the Hard Mode encounter, a Herd of Squigs will periodically chase one player around. This deals damage and also reduces the AP and Morale of any player next to them. It's recommended to move this player out of the group slightly.
*Knockback: The boss will sometimes cause AOE Knockbacks, so just run back into position if they happen. Your tank should be fine for these if their back is up against the pillar.

Once the boss is defeated, two of your party members will get gold bags containing the [[Redeye Set|Redeye Chestpiece]], and with that, your conquest of Gunbad is complete! You can either take the portal the boss spawns to return to the entrance, or go through the room in the back to return to your Capital City.

'''Congratulations on clearing the Mount Gunbad Dungeon!'''

= The History of Twilight's Tide=

'''Twilight's Tide''' is a Live Event that runs for a limited time in Return of Reckoning.

This event was created as a custom event by the RoR Team, and first launched in 2023.

= Event Details =

The unique feature of this live event is the ability to craft custom rings that can become best-in-slot jewelry when used during the event.

After 30 days, the rings lose their Talisman slots and expire into new versions, but the top tier, or 'Annulus' versions, remain powerful and are still best-in-slot for some builds.

= Creating a Custom Ring =

Killing players during this Live Event, as well as killing Daemons in the PvE open world, drop materials. These materials, and their usage, are:

*Ore, which determines the resists (or armor) present on the ring
*Gemstones, which determine the main and secondary stats on the ring
*Aethyr Fragments, which create powerful limited-time talismans that slot into the rings

= Gathering Materials =
[[File:Orerefiner.png|thumb|Use the Quest item you earn from the first Event Reward tier to select your profession.]]
*Player Kills primarily drop Ore and Gemstones, with a small chance of dropping Aethyr Fragments.

*PvE Daemon kills primarily drop Aethyr Fragments, with a small chance of dropping Ore and Gemstones.

**Specifically, look for Daemons in Elf zones with "Twilight" in their name - only these Daemons exclusive to the event will drop materials.

*All Materials can be sold and traded to other players.

Once you collect raw materials, the next step is to refine them.

= Learning a Profession During the Event =
[[File:Deposit.png|thumb|Find Ore and Gemstone deposits in RvR Lakes near Battlefield Objectives and key areas.]]
There are three Professions that your character can choose from during this event. These are:

*Ore Refining

*Jewelsmithing

*Artificing

Each character can only learn one of these three. It is possible to learn one each on three different characters, but for many guilds or friend groups, it's likely faster to divide these up and work together as a team to help each other.

To select a Profession, first complete some of the tasks in the Live Event list. Once you reach the first reward tier, select the Quest Starter item from the Herald for the profession you'd like to learn, and complete that quest.

Once the quest is complete, you'll be able to earn tools to process the raw materials you find during the event!

= Earning & Using Refining Tools =
[[File:toolquest.png|thumb|Complete the Repeatable quests in PvP or PvE to earn tools for processing the materials, then spend these + your materials at a Refining Specialist to get a random rarity result.]]
To refine a material, like Ore and Gemstones, you'll need to use the associated tool and trade this tool to a vendor along with the material to refine.

This will grant you back an item that will randomly select rarity for the resulting item. (More on this below.)

You earn tools by completing Repeatable Quests. These are available for both PvP and PvE routes, and are:

*PvP Quest: Kill 20 Players and Mine Deposit x2
*PvE Quest: Kill 125 Twilight Daemons, Mine Deposit x4

You can accept both quests at once.

Once you complete them and have tools, speak to the "Refining Specialist" NPCs next to the quest turn-ins to begin processing your materials.

= Material Rarity =

When you process Ore, Gemstones, and Aethyr Fragments, the rarity you get back is randomly selected each time.

The most common result is a Green rarity material. Blue rarity results are somewhat rare, Purple are rare, and Mythic (orange) are very rare.

= Re-rolling Materials =
[[File:reroll.png|thumb|You can re-roll lower rarity materials for another RNG chance at a rarer version. If you like gambling, re-rolling is your new best friend.]]
Refining Specialist NPCs will also let you re-roll lower rarity materials for another shot at a higher rarity. This gives you another RNG pull, with the same rates as normal processing.

The higher the rarity of the material you're re-rolling, the less you'll need. The ratio is:

*3x Green Rarity Material for 1 Re-roll
*2x Blue Rarity Material for 1 Re-roll
*1x Purple Rarity Material for 1 Re-roll

= Guaranteed Rarity Upgrades =

Refining Specialists will also allow you to trade in a larger amount of a lower rarity material for a higher rarity version, up to Purple rarity.

The trades are:

*Blue Rarity Material - Requires 10 of the Green Rarity of this type
*Purple Rarity Material - Requires 5 of the Blue Rarity of this type

So as an example, you can trade in 10 Green Rarity Iron Bars to get a single Blue Rarity Iron Bar in return.

Unlike the Re-rolling path, this will always guarantee you the upgrade in rarity, but note that the top-tier rarity required for Annulus rings can only be earned through lucky pulls when processing.

= Building your Ring, Step 1: Ore =

When you're ready to build your ring, you'll want to decide which materials to use, as the specific mats you choose will determine both the defensive and offensive stats.

First, decide which type of defense you'd like for your ring. The Ore types, and the defenses they bring, are:

*'''Platinum''' - Provides equal resistances to all 3 types of Magic
*'''Gold''' - Provides majority resistance to Elemental damage, and half resistance to other magic
*'''Silver''' - Provides majority resistance to Spiritual damage, and half resistance to other magic
*'''Copper''' - Provides majority resistance to Corporeal damage, and half resistance to other magic
*'''Iron''' - Provides armor and reduces physical damage, but provides no magic resistance

Most classes in the game deal only one or two types of damage, so if there are specific enemies that you want to reduce damage from, the rings give you the freedom to adjust your defenses accordingly.

= Building your Ring, Step 2: Gemstones =

Now that you've chosen which defenses you want, the Gemstone you pick will decide the primary stats of your ring.

Annulus rings, which are the highest rarity of the Level 40 rings, also get a special bonus, listed below.

The gemstones to choose from, and their stats, are:

*'''Sapphire''' - Main stat Intelligence, secondary stat Wounds (Annulus Bonus: 1% Magic Crit chance)
*'''Ruby''' - Main stat Strength, secondary stat Weapon Skill (Annulus Bonus: 1% Melee Crit chance)
*'''Emerald''' - Main stat Willpower, secondary stat Wounds (Annulus Bonus: 1% Healing Crit chance)
*'''Amethyst''' - Main stat Toughness, secondary stat Wounds (Annulus Bonus: 2% Parry)
*'''Diamond''' - Main stat Wounds, secondary stat Toughness (Annulus Bonus: 2% Dodge + 2% Disrupt)
*'''Citrine''' - Main stat Initiative, secondary stat Wounds (Annulus Bonus: 1% Reduction in being critically hit)
*'''Topaz''' - Main stat Ballistic Skill, secondary stat Weapon Skill (Annulus Bonus: 1% Ranged Crit chance)
*'''Onyx''' - Main stat Weapon Skill, secondary stat Wounds (Annulus Bonus: 1% Armor Penetration)
*'''Moonstone''' - Main stat Wounds, secondary stat Initiative (Annulus Bonus: 2% Block)

= Building your Ring, Step 3: Purchasing the Ring =
[[File:Bandscholar.png|thumb|If you want to create Annulus rings, always start with level 40 Green Rings. Nearby merchants will allow you to upgrade it further.]]
Once you know the type of Ring you want to create and have your materials on-hand, it's time to pick up your first ring from the Vendors!

These vendors are located in Southern Altdorf (on either side of the Top Renown Player statues) for Order, and in The Inevitable City's Slaanesh Quarters (Southwest corner of IC) for Destruction.

'''Important:''' Level 31 Rings will always stay level 31 rings, and cannot be upgraded to level 40. So, if you want to make Annulus rings, which are generally the most sought-after item in this event, make sure you start with the level 40 Green rings.

Once you trade the items in for a Green Ring at the level you want, you can then move to the nearby vendor and trade both the ring and additional materials to upgrade the ring to the next rarity.

*Level 11 and 21 Rings can upgrade only once, up to Blue Rarity
*Level 31 Rings can upgrade twice, to a maximum of Purple Rarity
*Level 40 Rings can upgrade three times, to Annulus (Mythic) Rarity

Upgrading a Ring will also remove any slotted Talismans, so it's best to wait until you're at the final stage of your ring before putting in an event talisman.

= Building your Ring, Step 4: Slotting the Talisman =

Finally, it's time to add a powerful Talisman to your ring to complete it. You have a few options here:

*Normal Talismans, like +23 or +24 of a stat can be slotted
*Twilight's Tide Talismans, which are stronger than normal Talismans, can also be slotted

Because you're going to lose this talisman once the ring's 30 day window passes, and because Twilight's Tide talismans are more powerful, it's recommended to use an Event Talisman.

'''Important: When Creating Twilight's Tide Talismans, you do not need to create the lesser versions first.''' You can jump straight to the top-tier Talisman when trading in your shards.

The Top-Tier Talismans you can create are:

* +2% Melee Critical Chance
* +2% Ranged Critical Chance
* +2% Magic Critical Chance
* +2% Healing Critical Chance
* +3% Reduction in being Critically Hit
* +3% Block
* +4% Parry
* +4% Dodge and Disrupt
* +4% Reduced chance to be Blocked
* +4% Reduced chance to be Parried
* +4% Reduced chance to be Dodged
* +4% Reduced chance to be Disrupted
* +36 Melee Power
* +36 Ranged Power
* +36 Magic Power
* +36 Healing Power

Trading in for a Talisman requires a mix of two types of "Shards", which are each attuned to different Winds of Magic.

'''Make sure to also check the Item Level''' -- these top tier Talismans are level 40, so they can only be slotted in Level 40 Rings. (Just as a normal level 32 Talisman must slot into a level 32 or above piece of armor.)

= Ideal Builds Featuring Rings & Final Notes =

While Twilight's Tide rings are not ideal for every build, they can be very useful for most.

*Many builds that use Twilight's Tide Rings focus on using 2 of the rings. (Accessory Slots 1 and 2.)
**This is because the Sentinel or Triumphant Ring (which accepts the most powerful Talismans) goes into Slot 3, and the Sovereign accessory goes into Slot 4.

*It's true that builds running Twilight's Tide Rings have less overall stat points than other builds because there is no attached set bonus.
**However, for glass cannon builds or builds that want specific stats like extra armor, healing crit, etc, this trade can still be very worthwhile.

= Upgrading Expired Rings =
[[File:Time lost mastersmith.png|thumb|Expired level 40 Purple Rings can be upgraded to Annulus rings the next year on the Isle of Dead at special Time-lost vendors.]]
Players who create level 40 Purple Rings but do not manage to upgrade them fully to Annulus rings before the 30-day timer runs out can now do so at a special vendor on the isle of the dead.

As you first enter the map, look near the Healer for the "Time Lost Annulus Mastersmith" (Order) or "Bloodsmith" (Destruction), who will accept expired Level 40 Purple Rings and upgrade them to Annulus Rings.

The required materials for the upgrade are the same as the normal vendors.

= Tips and Advice for Ring Building =

*PvP (either [https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/Open_RvR_Guide| RvR] or [https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/Scenario_Guide| Scenarios]) is often the most efficient way to get ring materials, provided you have enemies to fight and can consistently get kills.

*If your realm is having a hard time or you're hitting a wall on the PvP front, it is also possible to farm materials via PvE mobs. Each High Elf Zone on the map has locations with lots of PvE Daemons.
** PvE farming can also be very worthwhile in small groups, provided your team is efficient in PvE and you have an uncontested farming area to kill mobs. (Often, players will compete over mob spawns.)

*If you're a new player and you don't care for a ring or if a ring isn't best-in-slot for your build, selling materials via the Auction House can also result in huge profits during this event.

= Trivia =

*During this event's original launch in 2023, certain game objects (and the sheer quantity of them) were causing significant frame drop in the Capital City event areas.
**The event was touched up, Game Objects removed, and the framerates significantly improved (especially in The Inevitable City) for its second round in 2024.

Exceptional Seeds

2026-06-07T00:40:46Z

Rubius: Added LV as a way to gain exceptional seeds

==Exceptional Seeds==
[[File:Exceptional seed.png|thumb|Exceptional Seeds can be grown 250 times, turning into roughly 1,000 crafted Liniments via [[Cultivating]] and [[Apothecary]].]]
''Exceptional Seeds'' are seeds of Purple Rarity that can be regrown via [[Cultivating]] 250 times before being spent.

*Because Exceptional Seeds eventually expire, their drop rate is higher than the Purple Seeds from [[Mount Gunbad]].

*Exceptional Seeds are bound to player. (Generally, whoever wins the roll when one appears.)

== What they grow ==
[[File:Bunched powder.png|thumb|Exceptional Seeds turn into Bunched Powder when grown, which appears in your normal inventory.]]
Exceptional Seeds create a "Bunched" item that will appear in your regular inventory, in order to prevent confusion from accidentally clicking them during apothecary.

Once you right click the Bunched version, two of the associated Liniment ingredients will appear in your crafting bag.

Each seed grows a total 250 Bunched items, which turn into 500 total Liniment ingredients. When used with a mulitplier, this will result in ~1,000 Liniments total per purple seed.

== Where to find them ==

Exceptional Seeds can currently be found in the following Dungeons:

*[[Bastion Stair]]
*[[Lost Vale]]

Any boss or Hero-rank mob has a chance to drop them, albeit very rare!

In the future, additional Exceptional Seeds might be added or appear in other Dungeons.

Keep Claiming and Upgrades

2026-05-30T15:03:02Z

Rubius: Updated the text for Nath

== Keep Upgrades ==
[[File:Keepclaim.png|thumb|Interact with the flagpoles on the third floor of a keep to Claim or Unclaim it.]]
[[Guilds]] in Return of Reckoning that are level 14 or higher are able to claim a keep.

Claiming the keep allows them to purchase upgrades that can benefit both their faction and their guild when defending the keep later.

See below for a full list of the possible upgrades, as well as how to claim and unclaim a keep.

== Claiming & Unclaiming Keeps ==

First, you'll need to be in a guild of at least rank 14, and your rank within the guild must have permissions to Claim.

Next, head to the keep you'd like to claim and make your way to the third floor.

Here, you'll see standards near the top. Click the flagpoles and then hit confirm to claim the keep.

To unclaim a keep, simply interact with the same flagpole on the third floor and tell it yes when prompted to drop the claim. (This will remove all active upgrades.)

All maintenance funds are pulled directly from their Guild Bank.

== Base Claim Cost ==

The base cost for claiming a keep is 15 Gold, with the upkeep cost varied depending on the amount of doors in the keep.

*Tier 2 Keeps (One door): 10 silver every 5 minutes
*Tier 3-4 Keeps (Two doors): 20 silver every 5 minutes

== Purchasable Upgrades ==
[[File:Keepupgrademerchant.png|thumb|Speak to the Upgrade Merchant on the Third Floor (usually in a corner) to view and select upgrades.]]
There are a number of very useful upgrades that can be purchased by Guilds for a claimed keep.

*Every 5 minutes, your guild will be charged a maintenance fee for controlling the keep.
**Each upgrade has its own cost, which you can see when you go to purchase them.
*Upgrades each have their own build timer that you must wait before the upgrades will apply.

*To purchase upgrades, first head to the Third Floor and look for the Upgrade Merchant. Talk to them to see a list of upgrades you can select.

=== Door HP ===

You may increase the door HP twice. (Applies to both Outer and Inner.)

*Door Upgrade 1: Increases Door HP by 10%.
**Cost increase: 10 Silver every 5 minutes.
**Time for upgrade: 5 Minutes

*Door Upgrade 2: Increases Door HP by a further 10%. (Total of 20%.) Requires Guild Rank 22.
**Cost increase: Additional 20 Silver every 5 minutes.
**Time for upgrade: 10 Minutes.

=== Lifetap Ritualists ===

Spawns additional NPCs on the Lord Room floor which damage enemies and heal allies around them.

*Cost Increase: 80 Silver every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 Minutes

=== Healing Ritualists ===

Spawns additional NPCs on the bottom floor which heal allies around them.

*Cost Increase: 80 Silver every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 Minutes

=== Static Guards ===
[[File:Keepupgrades.png|thumb|At the Upgrade Merchant, you can view the cost and purchase upgrades that benefit your guild, and sometimes your entire faction.]]
Upgrades all guards to Champions.

*Cost increase: 1 Gold every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 Minutes

=== Banker ===

Adds a personal banker to the inner Keep.

*Cost increase: 1 Gold every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 Minutes

=== Improved Respawns ===

Allows your entire faction (not just the guild owning the keep) to respawn inside the inner sanctum even after the inner door has been tagged.

To respawn, the players must be within the inner courtyard when they die. (Use this as a back-up plan when attempting to funnel the Outer doors, or if you have reinforcements attempting to get to the inner.)

*Improved Respawns level 1: Your faction may respawn in the inner keep until the Inner door is at 90%.
**Cost increase: 10 Silver every 5 minutes
**Time for upgrade: 5 minutes
*Improved Respawns level 2: Your faction may respawn in the inner keep until the Inner door is at 80%.
**Cost increase: Additional 20 Silver every 5 minutes
**Time for upgrade: 5 minutes
*Improved Respawns level 3: Your faction may respawn in the inner keep until the Inner door is at 75%.
**Cost increase: Additional 30 Silver every 5 minutes
**Time for upgrade: 10 minutes
[[File:Keepaltar.png|thumb|Divine Favor Altars are expensive, but offer powerful 2 minute bonuses for all defenders.]]

=== Divine Favor Altar ===

This is a very powerful upgrade that temporarily adds 20% to the primary stats of all defenders within the keep. (Increases, Strength, Willpower, Intelligence, Ballistic Skill, and morale gain by 20%.)

*Cost increase: 80 silver every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 Minutes
*Additional time to generate charge: 15 minutes
*A Maximum of 3 charges may be stored (Total ~50 minutes to Generate)

This Altar spawns with 0 charges and needs to charge up before use. To use this, have a member of the controlling guild with permissions right click it and select "Yes" when prompted. The altar will appear on the 2F of the inner keep.

=== Healer ===

Adds a healer into the keep that can cleanse wounds debuffs from dying.

*Cost increase: 10 silver every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 minutes

=== Guild Vault Keeper ===

Adds a Guild Vault banker so guilds can access their banks from within the keep.

*Cost increase: 1 Gold every 5 minutes
*Time for upgrade: 5 minutes

=== Guild Flight Master ===
[[File:Keepflightmaster.png|thumb|With the Guild Flight Master perk active, an entire guild can fly directly to their Keep's inner sanctum to quickly defend it.]]
The Guild Flight Master allows members of the owning guild to fly directly to the keep, even if it is under attack.

To do so, simply right click the flight master near the warcamp (the same one you can use to fly to keeps with boxes normally) and select the repeatable quest.

*Guild Flight Master: Fly directly to the inner sanctum of your keep.
*Cost: 10 Silver every 5 minutes.
*Time for upgrade: 5 minutes
*Uses once activated: 25, with an additional flight added every 30s after (no upper limit on total)

This perk can be used up until the inner door of a keep is destroyed.

=== Oil Control ===

Oil control allows a claiming guild to restrict the placement of Oil to their own guild members, their alliance, and even custom players they trust.

Historically, many poorly-placed oils (and the 3-minute cooldown on another being placed) have cost both realms many a defense. With the new Oil Control option, a realm can ensure the oil drops when they need it most.

*Oil Control: Restricts placing the Boiling Oil siege defense weapon to Guild Members only.
**Cost: 10 Silver every 5 minutes.
**Time for Upgrade: 2 minutes.
*Oil Control Level 2: Also allows a Claiming Guild's Alliance to place and pour the oil.
**Cost: 10 Additional Silver every 5 minutes.
**Time for Upgrade: 3 Minutes

Guilds may also use the following command to grant permission to place an oil to a non-guildie or alliance member:

*]keepallowoil when targeting an allied player to grant them permission to place oil
*]keepremoveoil when targeting an allied player to remove their ability to place oil

There is one restriction to the Oil Control: A guild who purchases this must have at least 6 members within the Keep. If they do not, the Oil can be placed at-will by their realm freely.

== Reducing Upgrades & Zone Locks ==

A guild can also reduce upgrades on a keep if it has been successfully defended and the owning guild wants to save money.

Simply speak to the Upgrade Merchant on the 3F and hit the minus buttons near the upgrades to remove them.

When a Zone is locked for either faction, the guild's claim will also be relinquished, and they will stop being charged maintenance fees.

== Additional Claim Perk ==

There is an additional claiming perk that applies exclusively to 4-star Keeps.

Normally, a 4-star keep will downgrade itself to 3-stars if a supply box is not turned in often enough.

With a Guild Claim, the 4-star Keep will never downgrade, maintaining its status even without boxes.

For more information on Keep Stars and their benefits, please see the [[Open RvR Guide]].

== Guild Bag Roll Bonus ==

In addition to the above, a Guild that claims a keep in a zone will get a bonus of +50 on their bag rolls when the zone locks.

For this to activate, the Guild must have been claiming the keep up until the moment the zone locks.

Currently, this only activates for the winning faction, as killing a Lord drops the claim on a keep.

== Keep Calm and Claim on ==

That's all for now - make the most of the above upgrades to help your guild - and realm - find a way to victory, even when outnumbered during a siege! Good luck!

Companions

2026-04-18T16:16:19Z

Rubius:

'''Companions''' are pets or followers that will accompany your character when non-RvR flagged.

In Return of Reckoning, companions are earned primarily via PvE, either by acquiring Companion Coins from the Dungeon Weekly, or via Champion's Marks for speed running Dungeons.

== Gaining a Companion ==
[[File:Companioncoin.png|thumb|Earn Companion Coins from the Dungeon Weekly, then trade them in for a special quest!]]
To earn a Companion, you'll first need to acquire Companion Coins and trade them to a merchant in your Capital City for a Quest item.

*In Altdorf, the Companion Merchant is the Amber Wizard located in Southeast Altdorf at 33k/47.5k
*In The Inevitable City, the Companion Merchant is the Seductive Tamer located in Southwest I.C. at 24.8k/50k

Next, open your Quest Items tab and right click the quest item to begin a short quest chain that will lead to you finding and gaining a new companion.

== Companion List ==

The current list of available Companions, their cost in Companion Coins, and any faction exclusivity is listed below:

*''In Altdorf's Feline Frustration quest, the NPC, Wealthy Merchant Webster, is a nod to Noah Webster, of the Webster Dictionary, who was also somewhat famed for absolutely hating cats. What a monster.''

*''Anann the Fleshgorger cow is named after Anann or Anu, the Irish Goddess of War and Cattle.''

Mitterfruhl

2026-04-03T07:53:05Z

Rubius:

== Mitterfruhl ==
[[File:Mitterfruhl_banner.png|thumb|When the warmth of Spring arrives, Mitterfruhl celebrations are never far!]]
'''Mitterfruhl''' is an Easter-timed event that takes place in ''Return of Reckoning''.

Similar to the Eastern Wyvern event in base design, Mitterfruhl replaces Wyverns with Griffons, introducing special limited-time Griffon mounts, Egg Trophies, and more!

== Hunt and Collect Eggs! ==
[[File:Mitterfruhl_eggs.png|thumb|Find Griffon eggs located throughout the world, and interact with them to gain an item.]]
The entire world of Warhammer Online, primarily in the PVE and open world areas, is filled with Griffon Eggs to hunt and find! The RvR lake has some, but far fewer than the rest of the world, to help reduce chat spam while in the lakes.

*When you enter an area, center-screen and chat messages will appear to alert you with many eggs are nearby. These messages only appear if an egg is active and can be picked up.

*When you find an egg, click it to kneel down and interact with it for a few seconds. After you finish, the egg cracks and goes into your inventory!

Next, when you're ready, right click the Egg in your inventory to open it and see what item you get. The items which can be found from Griffon Eggs include:

*Dyes (common, rare, and very rare specular)
*Healing Potions
*Action Point Potions
*Griffon Mount Egg (Semi-rare, 6 versions)
*Regenerating Firework Launcher (Less than 1% chance)
*Bottomless Bowl of Custard (Less than 1% chance)
*Aviator Goggles (Less than 1% chance)
*Permanent [[RoR Aegis]] (Less than 1% chance)

Most of what you'll pick up when opening eggs will be dyes, so make sure to either have lots of inventory space open or simply leave your eggs stacked to open later when you're near a bank to store them.

There are also a few jackpot items, listed above, which have extremely low (less than 1%) drop rates. If you get one of these, congratulations - you're very lucky!

== Beware the Griffon Matriarch! ==
[[File:Mitterfruhl_matriarch.png|thumb|If a Matriarch appears, watch out! She'll violently protect her eggs, and will prevent breaking any nearby eggs while alive.]]
There is a small chance that a Matriarch will appear when you first interact with an Egg.

*If the Matriarch arrives, that egg and any others nearby cannot be interacted with while the Matriarch has arrived to protect them.
*This boss is somewhat challenging to solo for most players, but for groups of players hunting together should be possible to kill.
*The chance of a Matriarch appearing is rolled per interact on an egg, so a party of six players together would trigger 6 possible chances for it to spawn as each player clicks.

Because of this, it's generally best to avoid hunting eggs in very large groups, unless you have the patience to handle some Matriarchs each time. It is still possible, though, for a full warband or more of players to coordinate and click an egg at the same time to all get an Egg item from it.

*Tip: Once a Matriarch spawns, it will vanish within approximately 15 Minutes. Sometimes it's best to simply move on and return later once the Matriarch has departed.

== Exclusive Griffon Mounts ==
[[File:Mitterfruhl_new_griffons.png|thumb|Trade in special Griffon Eggs to gain a new 30-day Griffon Mount.]]
When opening an Egg, there is a chance you may discover a colored Griffon Mount Egg instead of dyes or other items.

These can be traded in for one of five special Griffon Mounts, which can only be earned during Mitterfruhl. Those are:

*Sunrise Wild Griffon
*Frostwing Wild Griffon
*Moonheart Wild Griffon
*Fiery Dawn Wild Griffon
*Waverider Wild Griffon

Players can also earn a normal "Common" Griffon, which is not colored, but has a slightly larger size.

=== Upgrading Your Griffon ===

By earning the Griffon Training Whistle from the event's Elite Rewards, it is possible to gain a special Griffon mount that lasts for longer than 30 days.

Depending on your renown, these will last longer, and exist for:

[[File:Mitterfruhl_whistle.png|thumb|Complete the Event to earn a Training Whistle, which will allow you to keep a Griffon for up to 120 days if your Renown is high enough.]]
*Level 16 (0 renown) + Whistle: 45 Days
*50 Renown + Whistle: 60 Days
*80 Renown + Whistle: 90 Days
*85 Renown + Whistle: 120 Days

To earn these, speak to the vendor in the Event Area and trade them the whistle + the colored Egg of the Griffon you would like.

You can only get a single Training Whistle per character from the event, so make sure to choose your favorite color before exchanging it for an upgraded Griffon!

== Egg Trophies ==
[[File:Mitterfruhl_altar.png|thumb|Trade in Painted Eggs at the altar in your Event Area to gain event progress, and donate more to earn special Painted Egg Trophies.]]
There are over 30 unique Egg Trophies which can be earned exclusively during Mitterfruhl.

Some of these can be purchased with a tradeable currency, allowing players to sell the currency for an egg to other players who might want it. Others are bound-to-account, allowing a player to mail it to another character of the same faction on their account.

These Egg Trophies are broken up into two groups:

*Eggschange Eggs, with more solid colors
*Painted Eggs, which have themed designs

'''Eggschange Eggs''' are earned for achieving specific milestones when hunting Eggs, or for achieving the second reward tier of the Live Event. The currency for these is always bound to your account, and cannot be traded to other players. (You can mail the currency to other characters of the same faction if you want the egg trophies on those.)

'''Painted Eggs''' are faction-specific, and are earned by first finding one of the Eggs used to exchange for a Griffon Mount (above) then using one of the new Live Event dyes to exchange for a Paint Bowl at the vendor in the event area. Next, combine both the Paint Bowl and the Mount Egg to gain a "Painted Egg" item, and donate this at the event area's Altar to gain event credit.

The more Painted Eggs you donate, the more Divine Egg Painting currency items you'll earn. Each of these can be traded for a specially designed Painted Egg Trophy, and this currency can be traded or sold to other players, either as a gift or in exchange for gold or items. Each Divine Egg Painting can only be earned once per character.

The unlock amounts are:

*2 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. I
*4 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. II
*6 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. III
*8 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. IV
*10 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. V
*15 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. VI
*20 Donations: Divine Egg Painting Vol. VII
