• Through option 7 'Register Sign of Lord' you can pre-register the guild.\
• You will need the Sign of Lord item (The more Sign of Lord you register, the more chances the guild has to participate).\
• Only the 6 guilds that register the most Sign of Lord will be able to participate.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important: Unlike other PvP events like Castle Siege and Crystal Battle, in Arca War, guild members must register individually. If a player fails to register, they will not be allowed to enter the event — even if they’re in the guild. Last-minute logins won’t have access unless already registered.**

## ⚔️ How It Works:
{% hint style="info" %}
* At the start of the event, players must choose one of two available gates: Alkmar or Ubaid.
* The goal is to capture the tower. However, before the tower becomes vulnerable, your guild must activate three switches simultaneously — similar to Castle Siege, where two switches unlock the crown seal.
* Once all three switches are active, the tower becomes destructible. Destroying it puts your guild in defense mode.
* Just like in Crystal Battle, players standing on the switches must not move. Moving off the correct coordinate will reset the tower’s protection.
* The last guild holding the defense when the timer ends wins the event.
### Key Coordinates:
AlkmarSwitches: (89,58), (84,30), (104,36)Tower: (89,41)\
UbaidSwitches: (175,102), (192,110), (200,96)Tower: (188,101)\

## Tips & Strategy:
{% hint style="info" %}
* Focus on one gate: You don’t need to win both. Concentrating your forces on a single gate gives your guild better chances of control and ensures access to the weekly buff.
* Adjusting strategy mid-event: If your guild changes plans during the event, you can leave the map, speak to the NPC Protector, and re-enter through a different gate.
* Guild Master as rally point: When members enter through a Battle Gate, they will be automatically teleported to the Guild Master’s location. This functions similarly to a Castle Siege Life Stone.\
Tip: Have the Guild Master position themselves near the battlefield before members enter the gate, so everyone arrives together and can fight as a group.
* Death debuff: When a player dies, they receive a 2-minute debuff that slows movement. If a player enters the gate during this debuff, they will not be teleported directly to the Guild Master.
* Use **Town Portal Scroll** to return to the safe zone and thereby reverse the side of your attack and surprise the enemy.
### Guild Composition:
Arca War allows up to 20 registered players per guild.
If your guild requires support characters (e.g., buffers), consider using a secondary alt guild for support roles. This way, your main guild can be fully optimized with damage dealers and frontliners.
