Keep Claiming and Upgrades

Keep Upgrades

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

Interact with the flagpoles on the third floor of a keep to Claim or Unclaim it.

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.

You can also (usually) use the State of Realm add-on to do this from anywhere in range of the keep. If it doesn't work, the flagpoles should always function.

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.)

A guild can only claim One keep at a time.

Purchasable 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.

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

Guild Flight Master

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.
