Danger Zones¶
Every 4 hours, three regions become Danger Zones. They're free-for-all PvP areas with a bonus that makes them worth the risk. Say [danger to see the current zones and their bonuses.
Which regions¶
Each rotation picks:
- one dungeon: Destard, Shame, Deceit, Eventide, Wrong, Glacia, Chaos, Sandstorm or Exile,
- one outdoor area: Hidden Valley, Cyclops Valley, Minoc, Skara Brae, Minotaurs Valley, Deadstall Island, Ogre Valley, Pit of Despair, Orc Fort, Shadowkin Camp, Stygian Keep, Frozen Isle or Tranquil Darkness,
- one more from either list.
Rules inside¶
Free-for-all PvP
Anyone can attack you, and you can attack anyone, without becoming criminal. Corpses can be looted freely. Insurance doesn't pay out for deaths in PvP combat, so only bring what you're willing to lose.
- You're warned when you enter.
- Fighting another player inside switches you to your combat template (see Templates).
- Monsters inside take 30% less damage (melee and spells).
- Expedition rifts opened inside a Danger Zone are lawless.
- Paladins can heal criminals and murderers here without being punished.
- Monthly Challenge XP from kills is 25% lower inside.
- Danger Zones affect rare loot: their treasure bonus applies there, and kills outside Danger Zones get −10%.
