| Registration Stage | Server Time | Required Action |

How Arca War Works
| Event Phase | Objective |
|---|
| 1. Choose a Battle Gate | Enter through Alkmar or Ubaid. |
| 2. Activate the Switches | Three guild members must remain on all three switches simultaneously. |
| 3. Unlock the Tower | The tower becomes vulnerable when all switches are active. |
| 4. Capture the Tower | Destroy the tower to place the guild in defense mode. |
| 5. Defend Control | The last guild holding the tower when time expires wins. |
Players standing on switches must not move. Leaving the correct coordinate resets the tower protection.
Arca War Switch and Tower Coordinates
| Battle Gate | Switch Coordinates | Tower |
|---|
| Alkmar | 89, 58 · 84, 30 · 104, 36 | 89, 41 |
| Ubaid | 175, 102 · 192, 110 · 200, 96 | 188, 101 |
Arca War Tips and Guild Strategy
| Strategy | How to Use It |
|---|
| Focus on One Gate | Concentrate on Alkmar or Ubaid to improve coordination. Controlling both is unnecessary. |
| Change Gates | Leave the map, speak to Protector Sir Lesnar and enter through the other gate. |
| Guild Master Rally | Players entering a gate teleport to the Guild Master's location. Position the Guild Master near the battle first. |
| Death Debuff | Death applies two minutes of reduced movement. Entering during the debuff prevents direct teleportation to the Guild Master. |
| Town Portal Scroll | Return to the safe zone and approach the battlefield from the opposite side. |
| Guild Composition | Use the 20 registrations efficiently and organize support characters where they provide the most value. |
